Kong is the King

Chased by one creatures after another, all ready to grab and eat her, how unlucky can Ann be? No wonder she is sad...

Last night, I watched King Kong, the new remake by Peter Jackson.

A movie with it's own touch, successfully creating a dark, down and gloomy mood throughout the movie with an occasionally glee.
I noticed that the movie is "dark" and gloomy because no one ever actually smile, at least not whole heartedly. The leads only smile are when they look into their lover's eyes.
Set in the 1920-30, the gloominess is a good portrayal of the Great Depression era when Americans are living in poverty.

Is Kong in love with Ann? Did the Beauty kill the Beast? This is some questions that linger...
Kong is the last of its species, with several of his breathens' bone still up in his lair. Would he fall in love with Ann, a fragile living species so small and delicate.
I do not think he is in love at all. A companion, a special soul but definitley not a lover.

Kong is in depression with no one to turn to, no family and no friends. He lives in a harsh environment, having to fight off other creatures everyday to survive
Ann is in depression after losing her job, no food to eat, no friends and do not believe in good things anymore because they are not forever. She lives in a "man eats man" world and strives to make a living.

The two character though in a different place, suprisingly have similar background and emotions. In a lot of ways,

Kong is Ann and Ann is Kong.

Overall, great show with fast paced actions, touching moments and thought evoking. Definitely worth sitting 3 hours in the cinema...
