On the surface, this is an abusive Hollywood theme-the 1976 version of "King Kong" reflects this very well-but boldly imaginative scripts and the use of cutting-edge film techniques are enough to make such a theme a classic.
The 1933 edition is a classic, after more than 70 years, it can still shock people. Although the technology is limited, when the hero runs to the orangutan's nest to save the beauty, it is obvious that there is a cartoon Avanti feeling, but the flaw does not affect the shock to the audience. Think about it, in the 1930s, a 50-foot-tall gorilla stood on top of the Empire State Building and thumped his chest against an airplane.
It's not uncommon for bad movies to succeed in business. What is incredible is that while the 1976 edition won the box office, it also won the praise of many critics. Among the three versions, this version is not only more pornographic, sensational, and provocative, but also more rough. The heroine's acting skills are as many as the clothes she wears; the close-up shots of King Kong holding the beautiful woman have appeared many times, and it is very unsuccessful. You can see that it is a rubber hand at a glance. The director actually made King Kong's mouth a hair dryer, and the heroine was quite enjoyable. My God, a giant animal that doesn't brush its teeth, it has to breathe, how much gum it has to eat. Also, oil companies are not bullets but fireworks when dealing with indigenous people. Hypocritical or ironic?
For a good story, the smartest way for younger directors is to repeat it. Peter Jackson is a smart man, except for adding some branches and leaves to the branches of the 1933 story, without moving anything. For example, the heroine is set as a juggler, so that the audience does not think that the beauty is just a screaming rose. All other achievements go to the supercomputer.
If King Kong standing on the Empire State Building in 1933 symbolized the defeat of industrial society by the terrifying Great Depression, King Kong standing on the World Trade Center in 1976 symbolized the post-industrial society being defeated by the terrible oil crisis. In 2005, King Kong once again returned to the top of the Empire State Building. At this time, the World Trade Center had already become rubble. If there is any symbol, it means that human society is defeated by supercomputers. There are only repairs on the current silicon chip. Only relive old dreams.
To over-interpret, King Kong appeared as a superman, climbed up to the edifice of male symbolism (from this point, the 1976 version is silly), conquered the male world, but was eventually defeated by ordinary men; beautiful women are only sharp Called, but becoming a voter of this super man is a bit destined. Audiences of all kinds can agree. It's a good story, so I guess there will be reshoots in 30 years.
