Default Re: 100 films: King Kong

Yeah, I thought that scripted sequence was also in the new film, but I have no idea why I think that.


Anyway, cool review of a truly great and awesome film.


I think the sequence starts tickling her and peeling away her clothes is very, very interesting, and it's hard to believe they got away with it - glad they did [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Kong is so allegorical of many things - some authors have called it an allegory of black slavery and its outcome in the US, some have seen it as a more general allegory of the dynamic of man and nature, or the more internal struggle of primal function and higher brain function, and so on.

I think these ideas just show how mythical the whole story is, and how deeply appealing this myth is, of the master of one world being diminished by being taken to another, but then prevailing again...


Whatever, it kicks ass, even after all these years.
