King Kong (1933) Journal #2



This 1933 thriller interested audiences of all kinds with its fictional persuit of affection and suspense. The directors of this film, Marian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, created a metaphorical re-telling of the classic story of The Beauty and The Beast. The writers of this historical film, James A. Creelamn and Ruth Rose, implemented multiple themes in this film. Two of the themes i found important in this film were, the stuggle for survival and natures wonders. The Stuggle for survival is everlasting in this film as the main chracter Fray Wray(played by Ann Dorrow) is at Kongs mercy. Another central theme is what the movie is based on as a whole. Natures wonders refers to the great King Kong as he stuggles to keep his precious possession.

The origional King Kong is a dramtic, fictional, story of affection in which one of natures most spectacular beasts is found in the jungle with an exteme curiosity of the unknown. This beast is found when a fearless director wished to make a movie of the century as they explore unchartered islands in hope of something no one has seen before and that is exactly what they got. This gigantic beast rules the jungle as seen when he fights a gigantic snake exemlifying his power. This movie begins with a big twist which is unexpected to most in this terrific film with special effects fit for academy awards.
