Because I have seen the old version, I still know the plot, so I don't feel much suspense in my heart. I just want to know how Peter Jackson will interpret it this time. After reading it all in one go, I think there are many remarkable things, but it can be more perfect.
One of the highlights: The heroine is well chosen and the acting is good. I think the actor chosen by Annie is very successful. The girl's eyes are very clean and pure. Several shots showed close-ups of her facial expressions, with other eyes, very clear. Annie is a simple and persistent person, so she believed the director's nonsense and got on the ship. It is precisely because she is a simple and kind person that she can understand King Kong's mood. To some extent, she and King Kong are very similar, both innocent and lonely. Maybe it's because this actress is not well-known in Hollywood yet, so she is not deeply affected by Vanity Fair, so she can have such clear eyes. On the contrary, if you choose those female stars who have been famous for a long time, maybe the acting skills are really adept, but those clear eyes can't perform it.
Highlight 2: Naturally it is King Kong. There are three short passages that move me the most. The first one is that he fought the two big dinosaurs for so long. As a result, Annie switched from left hand to right hand. After being bitten by the bad dinosaur on her arm, Annie fell. Then he grabbed it with his foot again. The battle was really thrilling. I have liked King Kong since that period. This kind of go through fire and water in order to protect what he loves, at all costs, anyone will be moved when he sees it, even if he is not a human, just a gorilla with a hideous appearance.
The second is that he sat on the top of the mountain with Annie after he finished the fight. He looked at the sunset in the distance, then lowered his head to look at Annie, and then looked at the distance again, and then stretched out his big hand to let Annie sit on it. People enjoy the sunset together. It was so romantic that it was heartbreaking, especially thinking that his final ending was so miserable. This shot is really beautiful! At this moment, King Kong accompanied by Annie is even more lonely and lonely, which makes people feel pity. The lonely look on King Kong's face is very vivid and unforgettable. Everyone has a feeling of loneliness and loneliness, so they resonate with the spiritual loneliness of King Kong. I think this is also the most successful part of this movie. This is why so many people like King Kong and understand King Kong. The feelings for Annie are so persistent, not because he needs a toy, but because he needs a friend, a lover, or more precisely, a partner.
The third one was at the end. King Kong suffered a lot of injuries and was dying, and was about to fall. Looking at Annie, Annie stroked his face. Seeing there, I was already in tears. It’s not that they can’t be together. What’s sad is that King Kong seems to have expected such an ending, but still insists on staying with Annie. Even if one more minute, he climbs up the building with him, which seems to be the most unwise escape technique. But I went up anyway, because there, I can stay undisturbed temporarily, and get along with Annie for a while. His idea is that simple and straightforward.
But some parts I feel a bit procrastinated. For example, they fell into that valley and a lot of spiders came out. I think it was too long, as if they were deliberately showing off special effects. This is also in line with the characteristics of Hollywood blockbusters and has a strong visual impact. There are several similar places, if it can be shortened a bit, it will be more compact. The last words that the director said: "the beauty killed the beast!" made me think that the ending question is not good at all. Aren’t the people who are really worthy of condemnation are a group of profit-seeking people like that director? Compared with the front, the ending feels a bit hasty.
Overall, it is worth seeing.
