The classic film and television image King Kong, coupled with the traditional adventure narrative, it is not easy to shoot new ideas. The overall effect of the film is quite satisfactory, and there is no leap across the times. Something to discuss, is a qualified monster movie.
Shan, played by Jing Tian in the film, was criticized by many audiences for not being able to integrate her acting skills and appearance well into the film's environment. However, the identity and own attributes of Chinese actors have brought topical heat and the Chinese market to the film. The popular actors maintained their due standards and contributed to the performance of the film. There are many intense fighting special effects, and the high-level production brings the audience a good visual experience. However, I personally think that some narrative logic needs to be strengthened, such as the communication method between the surviving pilots of World War II and the indigenous people, as well as the interpretation of the temple murals and other details.
The relationship between the image of King Kong and human beings has eased. In terms of anthropocentricity, it opposes all external factors. From the beginning, they judged that the creatures of Skull Island were harmful to them, but they did not know that it was the intrusion of the place that angered Kong. The cycle of cause and effect is endless. Peace of mind is the norm for most creatures. The relationship between human beings and other creatures and nature should be put into the framework of a community.
Projecting the story into the human world, profit, greed and war are the same. The background of the Vietnam War is not optional. The colonel seems to be the incarnation of the US government at that time. Dissatisfied with the reporter's anti-war propaganda and desire to fight, at the same time, he also took a fancy to the brotherhood and the honor of the soldier, and finally broke into pieces.
The relationship between humans and nature is worth thinking about.
