King Kong


Only the introduction part of this movie that is related to the period of Great Depression. The rests are just all about poor King Kong! Between the first 10 – 20 minutes, the movie displays how American, particularly in New York, lived during the Great Depression. People were homeless and jobless. Hunger is wandering along with the people. The poor even need to look for food in the trash can and whatever they see they think they can eat, they will eat ‘em just for the sake of survival. There was also a scene where you could also see people queuing in line waiting for a small portion of free food just like the picture A. Cecil showed us in class. People wearing the same kind of dress having the same, unfortunate facial expression. The movie also focuses on the leading character Anne Darrow (Naomi Watts) about how sad and suffering she is when her whole acting team is sacked and that she needs to look for a new job alone coz her uncle is planning to leave to Chicago.

Anyways… now enough with the story. let’s come listen to what I wanna say which is way more interesting… hopefully! LOL Personally I like this movie very much and I’ve seen it for like 5 times already! (2 in theaters and 3 on dvd… ahh I know you don’t care but just read! LOL) The most impressive part is the construction of modern tall buildings as well as the part where Kong fights with T-Rex. Whoo hoo! They rock! Peter Jackson the director is incredibly unbelievable!

I would guess around 20 minutes of Great Depression. If one watches closely, one gets the best feeling of the Great Depression in New York than any other movie made. New York had huge problems and few movies really showed it like this one.

Was it worth the 20 minutes? Absolutely! Especially if you watche the classic made during the Great Depression.
