King Kong – 1933
The movie King Kong was released in the
USA on the 7th of April 1933. The basic story is about a
beautiful and young blonde women who becomes the victim to an
incredible beast. A gigantic ape living on the mysterious “Skull
Island”.
One of the major themes of the film is
based around the struggle for survival. When Carl Denham brings back
the ape into civilisation, the ape finds himself in a struggle
against the urban civilisation and the industrial technology. When
the ape finally escapes his captives, he seeks out the blonde beauty
and takes her by force to the very top of the empire state building.
This is one of the more sad scenes of the film. When Kong looks into
the eyes of Ann Darrow and realises that he will never win her heart,
he gives up and lets himself die. This is where one of the most
famous lines of the movie is spoken. When Kong is laying at the foot
of the empire state building the police lieutenant mentions to Denham
that the aeroplanes were the ones to finish Kong off,but Denham
replies, it wasn't the aeroplanes that killed the beast, “it was
beauty that killed the beast”.
