Finally watched the long-awaited monster movie, and finally lived up to the expectations, the movie is wonderful and exciting! As a typical popcorn movie in spring, "King Kong: Skull Island" successfully completed its mission. The background of the story is set just after the Vietnam War. In the 1970s, during the critical period of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, President Nixon’s strategic adjustments pulled the entire US economy from the abyss of the Vietnam War. For the country, although it was not successful, But at least to recover the loss in time, for the fighters, they can go home, but for the fighters who have not completed it, this is also a shame. For science and technology explorers, the future development is limitless, and for the world, every step of human discovery is a war. The opening King Kong appeared as a savage and explosive existence. The volume that cannot be ignored, the fate of being unable to retreat, is a nightmare that cannot be faded in everyone's heart... Does it feel like this kind of routine? You seem to have seen the story many times? That's right, "Skull Island" is indeed a routine, but the content is surprising, and the adventure is thrilling, frightening, and exclaiming constantly. As the largest King Kong in history, the film also said, "It is still young and there is still the possibility of growth." You must know that the Godzilla who will fight it in the future has exceeded 100 meters, and that King Kong is less than 50 meters away. Still need to grow fast and eat more bananas! If you can grow up by eating more octopus... The color tone of the film is very special, it is dusk. For many people, dusk is when they come home from work, and it is often used as a basic color for war films, but you must know that dusk is also a moment before death. The photographer of the film, Chinese American Larry Fong, has participated in the production of "300 Spartan Warriors", "Watchmen", "Bad Boy", and "Batman v Superman" in 16 years. It is Zach Schneider's royal photography. The color of the dusk gives the story in the background of the Vietnam War a nostalgic texture, a strong retro road, and the film soundtrack always has a feeling of deja vu. Let’s talk about some unsatisfactory plots. As a typical popcorn movie, it also explores the meaning of war and people, and people and nature, but they are just a taste of nothing. Compared with Peter Jackson’s King Kong, I do feel that the feelings are weaker, although It’s not that you have to watch "Beauty and the Beast"’s love between humans and beasts to be moved, but the King Kong in this movie is really easy to forget. At the same time, although the propaganda is very tall, there is no such thing as the Empire State Building. I really don't know how high it feels. At the same time, all the black people in it are stubborn, and it's magical to make people think that they can live to the end! Although there are no monsters in the last egg, it does signify that the monster universe has begun to appear-mummies, Godzilla and Dracula, etc., will be presented to the audience one by one in the future.
