Peter Jackson, the director of the VFX-winning Lord of the Rings, obviously has a soft spot for computer effects and is very familiar with it, and "King Kong" still has his style. NYC in the 1930s, rough seas, rocky islands, and of course the protagonist kingkong all relied on crashing computers to complete. More than half of the 3-hour movie is thrilling or gorgeous. And the actors have become supporting roles in the movie, including the one who once played the pianist. They only need to do this and that in the blue room according to the envisaged scene (in fact, they have nothing around them), of course, this "only needs" Maybe it's still a little light. The storyline is not the focus of King Kong's expression. For the remake of a movie more than 70 years ago, the audience may still want to see what King Kong looks like in the 21st century. Peter deeply understands the audience's mentality. The department combines "dinosaurs (Jurassic Park?) + bizarre indigenous villages (like the one in the Lord of the Rings) + stormy waves (perfect storm?) + gorilla + always light veiled tiger-toothed beauty" and many other visuals A hodgepodge of elements of a Hollywood commercial blockbuster is presented to the audience.

Of course, Hollywood also deeply knows how to exchange for the tears of the audience, especially the tears of female audiences. The story of "human beast love" is so unreasonable in the eyes of some people, especially rational scientists, they claim that the unpleasant body odor of such a giant orangutan is enough to smother the beautiful Ann in size 4. How could there be any The so-called love? Scientists seem so cute. In fact, how can audiences, especially female audiences, pay attention to the seriousness of King Kong's body odor on the screen? What they pay attention to is King Kong's human touch, King Kong's gentle eyes, King Kong's daring to love and hate, and King Kong's mighty and strong, isn't this what female audiences want in life? This is Hollywood, and Hollywood is not a scientist.
