Viewing the new version of King Kong was very entertaining. I enjoyed this version, but also noticed there was many differences in this one, from the orginal. When viewing the 2005 version you feel entirely different emotions. Unlike in the first creation of the film, jack and ann's romance is more understated, and there is more emphasis on the relationship between ann and king kong. The film has more scenes involving just the two of them, in which kong shows more emotion and affection towards ann, thanks to the better technology. In this version you find yourself much more distressed at kongs death than in the original. Rather than being kongs victim, ann is the victim of loss at kongs death. Ann creates a greater friendship with kong, and eventually learns not to fear him, that he is her protector in many respects.
Although this version of king kong is more realistic in many ways, i do find myself more drawn to the first version. As an average viewer, i have more connection to the love between ann and jack rather than ann and kong, so i enjoyed viewing that play out. Clearly the creators of this film, knew the idea of a friendship between ann and king kong would be more accepted now than it was in the 30's, so they were able to go further with the development of that. Altogether, the 2005 version of king kong, was entertaining and emotionally captivating. At the end of the film you feel powerful emotion, viewing kong fall from the empire state building. This was a truly great film.

I also think that this movie was very emotional and a really enjoyable movie to watch. And you're right, anne does creates such a deep friendship with kong.
ReplyDeleteI do have to agree with the emotions and relationships that Kong and Ann grew together were a lot better in this film than in the previous one. I especially liked the scene where she taught him "beautiful" and then in the last part of the movie he remembered that the sunset was "beautiful" and it was really sweet to know that he really wasn't as bad as everyone thought of him to be.
ReplyDeleteYeah, this movie was much more emotional and that definitely made it harder to watch Kong die. I also agree that I wanted to see more of a relationship between Ann and Jack, but oh well.
ReplyDeleteyeah like everyone else i agree. i think that the relationship between kong and anne was definitely much more developed in this movie and that it greatly contributed to the emotional experience that incurs when kong is killed in the end.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the newest version was entertaining. Also i noticed that there were many changes to the original layout of the movie as well.
