King Kong

The black-and-white film was a sensation at the time. The white heroine looked like a fairy, and even King Kong couldn't help but admire her. In order to protect her, she would not hesitate to fight with other beasts. King Kong was finally shot by a white man with an advanced weapon, and now it seems that it was shot and killed by a few antique airplanes, catering to the logic of the white man’s victory.

The film now seems inevitable, but in the 1930s it was beyond ordinary people's imagination and achieved great success.

    7 points. This film, shot in 1933, should be regarded as the originator of monster movies. Although looking at it today, regardless of the plot, special effects, and performances, it is terrible, but it is very rare to have such creativity at a time when resources were scarce. In this way, the 2005 version is indeed a little too tribute, and almost all the bridges are just renovations of the original 70 years ago, which is a bit too ordinary for Peter Jackson's ability.

    To the special effects artist Willis O'Brien (Willis O'Brien) knelt down... he participated in the world's first feature film "The Lost World" which focuses on animation models and stop motion animations. In this most prestigious work of his, you can also see the use of dinosaur models, but different from the last silent film, this film is a sound film. The later King Kong sound simulation uses the roar of lions and tigers, and the animation process is stopped. Already basically complete. The models at the time, including the Fritz Lonneberungen series and The Lost World, were all manually controlled mechanical stunt models. They were driven by humans and driven by multiple people using pulleys internally, but they were different from the "Lost World". It’s more obvious "through the help" (lead), the details of the film are more perfect, the action is still too stiff, but the combination of animation and real scene is remarkable. O'Brien has gradually been able to display stop-motion animation and real-life shooting on the screen at the same time in the late period of "The Lost World". In this film, at most two people in action are "watching" three different animals fighting in the same field.

King Kong quotes

  • Carl Denham: [Kong frantically shakes his chains] Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute; he thinks you're attacking the girl...

    Reporter: Aw, let him roar, it's a swell picture...

  • Carl Denham: Wait a minute, what about Kong?

    Jack Driscoll: Well, what about him?

    Carl Denham: We can here to get a moving picture, and we've found something worth more than all the movies in the world!

    Captain Englehorn: [incredulous] What?

    Carl Denham: We've got those gas bombs. If we can capture him alive...

    Jack Driscoll: Why, you're crazy. Besides that, he's on a cliff where a whole army couldn't get at him.

    Carl Denham: Yeah, if he stays there...

    [looks at Ann]

    Carl Denham: but we've got something he wants.

    Jack Driscoll: [holds Ann] Yeah. Something he won't get again.
