Now we come to the holy grail of horror movies King Kong so what should I talk about the plot just for the hell of it Carl Denham a filmmaker who takes a crew of men and the lovely Ann Darrow to Skull Island where Prehistoric creatures run amok
Ann Darrow gets kidnap by the island native so she can be sacrifice to their god Kong but instead of eating her Kong falls in love with her but then he's captured by Denham
taken back to civilization where he goes on rampage climb up the empire state building for one of the most famous cinematic finale ever
this the stuff where legends are born I saw this when I was a little kid and I didn't know that many of the great filmmakers where inspired by this from Ray Harryhausen to Peter Jackson and I saw this in the 90s who knows what an archievement this was in 1933. I highly recommend the two disc edition that has a lot of special feature Peter Jackson and Company tries to recreate some of the scene obviously all the creatures are stop-motion it take 174 minutes worth of film to redo some of the movies scene and Peter Jackson and crew remade the lost spider pit scene these directors has to make all these new techniques and for the exception of being a talkie in the early 30s there was never any quiet moment you can hears the trees Kong's roar is made from different animals and a big score is playing all at the same time. We don't have a luxury of talking to Willis O' Brien some of it still a mystery when a new comes out you know every last thing about they new that it was for the film and not for the money. the AFI shove Citizen Kane up your butt and say that it the greatest movie of all time that too is a monumental film but look at Kong a decade before why can't that be the greatest movie ever a timeless story with great special effect along with fantasy and imagination and that's what movies are all about i'm bowing down to King Kong.
