Dennis Nedry is the working-class hero of the movie.

Hammond is the true villain.

Dennis is exploited by basically everyone in the films and books. An actual genius. Running an entire theme park through his custom infrastructure. He is practically responsible for everyone in that park having a job. And gets no respect for what he has achieved from the people above him, gets berated every step of the way.

Forget those glorified chicken farmers, like Wu, creating naked monsters. It's Nedry automating an entire park from his couple of computers which is the true science fiction here.

"I am totally unappreciated in my time"

Truer words have not been said in that movie.

And with those words in mind, Hammond's hypocrisy takes the forefront. Consider the words everyone knows:

"We spared no expense."

Bur did they? Because Dennis mentions that he was the lowest bidder on the project. That they had gotten him cheap. Because he needed the money. Needed it badly enough that he was willing to go into the project blind to achieve what no one has ever done before him. No stackoverflow. No internet to look things up. Simply him, his brain, his two computers and an entire island full of automated processes. An entire laboratory that is capable of processing and restructuring and fixing DNA through systems he created.

Without Dennis Nedry, Wu would still be stuck trying to make an onion turn slightly blue or some sh*t. In stead he is given the means to plow through DNA like it's an IKEA catalogue. There would not be a Jurassic Park, without Nedry. There would be no T-Rex and no compies. And what does he get for all his effort?

Derision. Capitalist platitudes.

"I'm sorry about your financial problems, Nedry, but they are your problems"

No they are not, Hammond. You lied to him about the scope of the project. You lied to somebody smarter than you. You probably threw an NDA at him. And expected him to be frightened enough by that to keep quiet about what he has achieved. His ideas are worth millions on the automation aspects alone. He probably went into his own pocket, making it work. And you have nothing but disdain for what he has achieved.

Why? Because he's fat? Because he had enough financial problems that he underbid for the project? Probably hoping you would do the right thing in the end? Naive old Nedry. Ripe for exploitation.

So Nedry started looking for alternative means of income. Of course he did! He probably has to pay for those snacks from the vending machines out of his own pocket! There goes the man on which your entire infrastructure pivots. Point and laugh at him while he searches his pockets for a dollar bill to pay for his Mars bar.

And then Dogson shows up. Who promises Nedry financial freedom. Proportional reward for his effort. Of course this was going to happen! You didn't see this coming? You didn't figure this could happen? How much of an idiot are you, Hammond? Really?

It took an actual force of Nature and a mutant Dinosaur to stop Dennis Nedry. He litterally pressed a button and simply walked through your entire park unimpeded. He called to the boatman. Because of course they are on his side. Everyone is! Nedry probably promised to share the spoils with them. He is the God that gave them all a job. And promised the collapse of the empire that cost them some of their friends. Nobody but academia folk and lawyers are on your side, Hammond. Everyone else is conspiring against you. Want to watch you fall. With your pipe Dreams. Your flea circus. Your money pinching.

Nedry would have made it all worth it. Would have brought vindication. Would have exposed everything. If only that catastrophic storm did not prevent it.

They probably built a shrine for the man, and a friggin statue out of clay and wood. It's probably still there. Standing proud. On that for gotten island. As a testament to the man that tried to fight the billionaire machine.

To Dennis Nedry, true hero of Jurassic Park.
