If you follow my post you will know I love rewatching old movies, and today I decided to rewatch one that really blew my mind as a child. King Kong was a hit back in the day, if you did not watch it then, you should watch it now because it still hits as intensely as it did back then. It is a movie that talks about the jungle in a different light. It showed that sometimes the true monsters are not mindless animals, and animals might not be as mindless as some think they are. It showed us that sometimes the real monsters are the selfish humans, and they are the ones who even make the jungle unsafe. It is one movie that showed that love and friendship can come in the most unexpected ways, and sometimes animals are way more trustworthy companions than our fellow humans.
The movie started with a group of actors who followed a film maker to a remote island in search of the perfect movie. Well they ended up acting the perfect movie for us, but really ended up with an adventure of chaos. When they arrived on the island they encountered a hostile native tribe who captured Ann and offered her to Kong who was like a god to the villagers. Kong was a very big gorilla with a great level of intelligence, and when Ann thought she was going to die in the hands of the mighty gorilla, they ended up forming a bond that made the gorilla over protective of her. She realized that Kong is not just a mindless animal as she assumed and from there they formed an emotional bond that made him do everything in his power to protect her.
After Kong had risked his life protecting Ann, Carl sees Kong as just what he needs to make money and captures him in a state of weakness, takes him to New York to start performing and presents him as the Eight wonder of the world. But unfortunately all hell breaks loose when Kong finally sees Ann during a stage performance and decides to break free. But then tragedy strikes when Carl did everything to bring him back and made the movie end in a tragedy. I remember crying about it as a child. Well I guess the real monster wasn’t Kong at the end of the day, but those trying so much to use him for their own benefit.
