The originator of monster movies, the pioneer of Hollywood special effects blockbusters. 1. The film uses a variety of special effects technologies, such as simulation models, (pre-set) miniature models, background projection, matte painting, etc. The most important technology is the frame-by-frame shooting of King Kong and other prehistoric reptiles. The film's special effects director Willis O'Brien has used stop-motion animation techniques in many fantasy films. Now it doesn't seem to be very fake, it's just that the King Kong movement is slightly stuck and jumping, and the head of Tyrannosaurus is too cute and distorted. 2. The second half of the rhythm is very tight, making people have no time to think. If you think about it, the film is indeed worthy of excavation and interpretation from a post-colonial and ideological perspective. The plot setting of climbing to the top of the Empire State Building and being beaten down is also meaningful. 3. Faye Ray is similar to Naomi Watts. It seems that Peter Jackson did consciously reproduce the old version of [King Kong] in terms of casting and plot structure. However, the new version is better, not only in terms of visual effects and thrills. The old version of Ann only has fear of King Kong, while the new version has more emotions, which in the end makes people cry. (8.5/10)
