Leans Progressive
Primary
The film leans left by critiquing human hubris and the commercial exploitation of nature through unchecked scientific advancement, emphasizing environmentalism and the inherent unpredictability of life.
The film includes a diverse supporting cast, featuring notable Black and Asian characters, alongside its predominantly white main cast. The narrative focuses on themes of scientific ethics and survival, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
Secondary
The character Ray Arnold, described as white in Michael Crichton's source novel, is portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson, a Black actor, in the film adaptation. This constitutes a race swap.
Jurassic Park does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the dangers of de-extinction and the survival of its main characters, without engaging with queer identity or experiences.
The film features Dr. Ellie Sattler and Lex Murphy, who primarily use their intelligence, evasion, and technological skills to survive encounters with dinosaurs. There are no scenes depicting female characters defeating male human opponents in direct physical combat.
All major characters in the 1993 film adaptation of Michael Crichton's novel "Jurassic Park" retain the same gender as established in the source material. There are no instances of a character canonically established as one gender being portrayed as a different gender.
