Wen: When I was a child in the rain in November, I watched a movie called "Lost World" ("The Land Forgotten by Time"), about a submarine that lost its way in Antarctica and entered a world after breaking through a fog. An isolated prehistoric island, the island is full of reptiles from the Jurassic era. At that time, I was deeply attracted by this story, and my childhood fantasies danced with it for a long time. When I was young, I watched "Jurassic Park" for the first time, and I was completely shocked by the dinosaurs running back and forth like reality. Dinosaurs used to be the most amazing animals in my childhood. I didn't expect that the light and shadow of Ban Bare could restore that innocent dream on this square-inch screen. When he was a child, Peter Jackson watched a movie called "King Kong", and then the story of this gorilla affected his life. At that time, he had already made up his mind to embark on the dream road of movies. The stories of childhood will generally be the objects we cherish when we grow up, for the kind of simple vision of looking at the world, for the innocent stubbornness and persistence. When we were young, we all loved fantasy, without the slightest mundane color, so the world in our eyes at that time was the most essential form. But as you grow older, your thoughts are slowly and unconsciously influenced by the unspoken rules of society, which also means that you can no longer see the world that belongs to children like a child. This is not sorrow, this is a normal process, and most people are experiencing this baptism. Therefore, those who can still retain the child's innocent spirit to a large extent after they grow up are precious. Peter Jackson is just such a person. The myth created by his child's perseverance has been created more than once. After determined to devote himself to the film career, he thought of any method of filming. Due to lack of funds and lack of actors and props, Peter Jackson went to work during the day to make money and filmed at night. The actors were all his relatives and friends, and the props were all modified and manufactured by himself. In order to save money, he chose the lowest cost horror film. If you've seen his "Bad Taste" and "The Crowd of Dead", you may be surprised that this is the work of the beautiful director of "Lord of the Rings". It is this series of bloody crazy B-level horror films full of strange and weird ideas that opened the American market for him and won him the support of many audiences. Most importantly, he won the right to direct the "Lord of the Rings" series. The "Lord of the Rings" series is the first myth created by Peter Jackson. This magical giant can only fly so high under his unconstrained imagination. If it were for anyone, it would definitely not be the luck of our fans. So when the third part of "The Lord of the Rings" "The Return of the King" won a big victory at the Oscars in 2003, when Peter Jackson held up the statuette, he really had a kind of dominion over the world. "King Kong" is the second myth belonging to Peter Jackson. People who can walk out of the cinema in three hours should not doubt my statement. But I believe many people did not understand this movie. I can't help but feel a bit ironic when I see the words about "human and beast love" and "new version of Beauty and the Beast" all over the sky. Since everyone has criticized Oshima's "Max My Love" which describes people falling in love with orangutans, why are you here to talk about King Kong and Ann's "human-beast love" ? Is it because the latter is wearing the coat of science fiction fairy tales? Interpretation of this film from this angle does not reflect its most moving core, and the worldly vision is even shallow and humble. Therefore, we have to recall the feelings of childhood and look at it with the eyes of a pure child. Because Peter Jackson has kept his feeling of watching King Kong as a child for thirty years! This is an explosion of emotional savings. His King Kong is, to a large extent, his childhood self. I remember the first time that Ann played a circus juggling in order to win the favor of this behemoth in front of him. King Kong likes to poke Ann down with his fingers again and again, and then watch her get up again and again, patted her chest with excitement and laughed. When Ann felt that he was humiliated like a plaything and stopped yelling, King Kong suddenly became angry, threw a huge boulder, yelled loudly, and forcefully showed his brutal strength to the little man in front of him. But An was unmoved. At this time, King Kong suddenly became quiet, his face was full of loneliness. As for me, the smile that was still childish in front of him stopped there suddenly, and I suddenly felt the loneliness of King Kong on the isolated island, the look of eagerness in the eyes of communication, and at the same time infected Ann. I remember the second time, King Kong fought desperately with three Tyrannosaurus rex in order to protect Ann. Thrilling and scarred, when he defeated the last arrogant Tyrannosaurus rex, he slapped his chest and screamed loudly, shaking the entire virgin forest. He is showing his strength, he is the overlord in this world of the weak and the strong, and this kind of self-reliance cannot be suppressed by any enemy. Then, King Kong arrived in front of Ann, childishly turned his back to her, raised his head, and said nothing. The child is angry with the person he protects. I remember there were many times on the edge of the cliff, King Kong watched the sunset with Ann with his big hands; on the top of the building, he learned to say "beautiful" following An’s mumbling words. ; At night, gently take care of her to sleep. When Ann was taken away, he chased like crazy, when he was anaesthetized before he fell down, he looked at Ann's innocent eyes, and when he held the ice skating that Ann was embarrassed in the snow. Don't we understand these times? King Kong is a child. Although his huge body and natural divine power made the local aboriginals respect him as a god, all the animals that tried to challenge him were daunted. But this is the law of his survival on the prehistoric island where the weak can eat. He was just a child when he was outside of survival. He has a child-specific innocence, and he has the same perseverance as a child. His eyes were so clear. So his feelings for Ann will not be our pure love, it will not be the collision of the sparks of joy. This is a kind of pursuit of beauty from the heart, that is the yearning for children without any utilitarian color in their hearts. On this isolated island, for King Kong, the appearance of Ann is undoubtedly the arrival of an angel. She broke the primitive loneliness that had been lingering in his heart, and finally she didn't have to watch the sunset alone after daily fierce battles with powerful enemies! This should be the true feeling that Peter Jackson wants to show. The touch of a child will not make us feel any childishness. On the contrary, the accumulation of 30 years of dreams has made this simple feeling more real and sublimated. We Even began to believe, This big man who flaunts his might on the screen is real. If the primitive island is equivalent to the baby of the family, then King Kong, who is separated from this only place of belonging, will inevitably be ruthlessly eroded by human society. So from the very beginning he was transported out of the island, it was doomed to his final tragedy. Why did he climb the Empire State Building? It seems to ordinary people that this is unreasonable, because he has driven himself to a dead end. But on this square inch of land, King Kong smashed all the besieged aircraft, hammering his chest and roaring again, the camera circled around him for a whole week, and the shock at that moment seemed familiar. Yes, when he defeated Tyrannosaurus rex, he proved his status with the same action. He wants to prove that standing on the highest point on the ground, no matter where it is, he is the overlord! King Of The World! Ann stared at the dying King Kong until he let go of his hand and slowly fell down. For the first time a painful expression appeared on King Kong's face. The scars caused by the three dinosaurs did not show a trace of fear. But when the bullet hit him at the moment, he knew that he was leaving Ann forever. This little man who couldn't cry at this moment, the most beautiful angel in his heart. Have you ever seen a child's disappointed expression? Have you heard the sound of broken dreams of children? After hearing the dull sound of King Kong crashing to the ground, the dignity that is unique to the great tragedy was deeply enveloped in my heart. This feeling is no less than Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet." King Kong died, he died before his dream, the blond beauty within reach. But Peter Jackson has realized his dream. With thirty years of persistence, he has drawn a complete circle for his dream. To some extent, King Kong and Peter Jackson are both children. This is a story taken by a child about another child. 2006.1.27
