King Kong SPOILER WARNING:
Well I saw it this weekend, and let me tell you it was a great escape…BUT, oh so sad! OK, I know everyone knows how it ends (if you don’t, stop reading now)!
I knew how the show was going to end, I mean we all knew they were going to kill the beast. I was alright with that before the movie started but once Kong got a hold of Ann and we (the audience) were treated to the silent dialogue between Kong and Ann I began to understand that he was just grossly misunderstood. Of course he was ugly and hairy and probably smelt a bit too which I’m sure were all reasons that led to his demise, but aside from that he was alright. The only character who gave him a chance was Ann (she didn’t have much of a choice) and once she got over the smelly part she grew to realise he was a gentle and loving creature that could also kick some ass when the need arised (three T-Rex’s in one scene = AWESOME).
Anyhow, I know this blog is really fracutred and I’m not sure how to word it any better…”Why are you so off Andrew?”…well I’m glad you asked, you see…I’m a pretty sensitive guy (SURPRISEEEE) and this movie got to me. I’m actually mad that it got to me. However, despite my anger and resulting depression I realise that that is what made Kong such a good movie (aside from the amazing effects and good acting – Jack Black annoyed the piss out of me as Carl Denham), the fact that the character development was so well done that you leave the theatre pissed off because they killed Kong.
Ugh, see! Now I’m even more frustrated because not only did King Kong piss me off but now I can’t even write a “deep” blog about how depressed it made me! DAMMIT! Screw it, I’m going to be one with nature now in tribute to my good buddy Kong!!!
