Discrimination and fear

That era was considered okay, so it was smooth, but if we look at this movie from our current perspective. Still feel very rough.

I'm not just talking about special effects, but the kind of white supremacy in Hollywood in the 1930s. Natives were set to be ignorant and fearful of giants, while "heroic" whites formed a team to fight against the "cruel". Giant gorilla. This also more or less highlighted the ideology of the mainstream society in the West at that time.

Finally, the sentence that killed the giant apes was not a bullet, but love. I think it is even more a satire of white people. It is true that today's Western society also has different opinions on racial discrimination, and it is even a bit overcorrected, as can be seen in the movies of recent years.

Whether it is Moonlight Boy, Black Panther, or Green Paper, they are all preaching political correctness, which may be the continuous self-correction of Western society over the years.

But sometimes things must be reversed, and now there is a very interesting phenomenon of "reverse discrimination." If you do not applaud the Moonlight Boy for the Panthers, you will be wrong. If you say that the Green Paper is not good-looking, you are racist. When public opinion becomes only one direction, this is horrible.

Discrimination is not right. Whether it is racial discrimination or any discrimination. Because, how can there be the most perfect thing in the world? Sometimes the discriminator is also the discriminated person, and the victim may be the former perpetrator. To love others is to love yourself. I don't want to preach, because this is something everyone can understand.

    Humans’ early imagination of animals shows that primitive people and King Kong are symbols of barbarism, while modern people are symbols of civilization. Animals are objectified, and humans think they are superior to animals. What is more worth mentioning is that the female image inside, as a victim of violence, is portrayed as an image that needs to be redeemed by men. In addition, women always wear white skirts, which symbolizes the purity of femininity.

    To be a man is to be a man like King Kong, to jerk off a woman you love in the tallest building in the world
