King Kong Movie
What was the best King Kong film? King Kong 1933 had a rating of 8/10 on IMDb and a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. King Kong 2005 had a rating of 7.3/10 on IMDb and a 84% on Rotten Tomatoes. The 1933 film was directed Merian C. Cooper & Ernest B. Shoedsack, 2005 film was directed by Peter Jackson.
King Kong was written by Merian C. Cooper and Edgar Wallace but then it was rewritten by Peter Jackson who also directed the film. Naomi Watts played the role of the brave and beautiful Ann Darrow which also included Carl Denham as Jack Black we also had Jack Driscoll as Adrian Brody. There was also new characters like Lumpy the cook who was played by Andy Sirkis, also he acted as Kong and Preston played as Collin Hanks. In the old film Dnham has to persuade the shop keeper to not arrest her stealing an apple, so now I knew Ann was someone different.
When Naomi Watt’s was acting as Ann she was very annoying to me, I did not like all the screaming that she was doing. I did like like Fay Wray’s acting when she was Ann, she was kind hearted and brave. Fay Wray’s was a way more likable character to me, she has more traits to being a better actress. Fay Wray’s gives many reason’s for Kong to fall in love with her. We

Even though characters change throughout the original and the remake, I would still enjoy watching them for the action and suspense. There are parts where I tense up in both movies, when you tense up that’s when you know the movie is effecting you. I would have to say though the remake is my favorite because of how much that movie seems so realistic. I chose these movies because when I was a 8 years old I watched King Kong for the first time. I was scared for at least 2 months, Kong was always be in my dreams. But overall these were good movies for people who like action and anxiety. Just know that when you watch the movies, It wasn't the airplanes who killed King Kong it was beauty that killed the

    Personally, I liked the book better than the movie. Although the book was confusing at certain points, for example when the chief would refer to the fog, it went into greater detail and was more interesting than the movie. The director changed the movie around for entertainment purposes rather than directly following all the events from the novel. The mood of the characters comparing the book and the movie differ. Each character is depicted in a different way in the movie setting a dissimilar temperament every scene.…

    One thing in particular that the book does much better is making use of complex metaphors and themes, such as: the river for life, and oneness with nature, that string themselves together as you turn each page of the book, while in the movie the metaphors and symbolism are represented in a much different way through picture. In the book, both themes regarding the river are very vivid and clear, as they use strong imagery of nature to draw pictures in the minds of the readers. In the movie both themes are represented and referred to much less because of the lack of narration.…

    The story begins abruptly, as we find our mock heroes out in the desert en route to the savvy resort of Las Vegas. The author uses a tense hitchhiker as a mode, or an excuse, for a flashback that exposes the plot. An uncertain character picked up in the middle of the desert who Raoul Duke, the main character, feels the need to explain things to, to help him rest easy. They had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multicolored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers....Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw either, and two dozen amyls. They were on assignment from a fashionable sporting magazine in New York, to cover the 4th Annual "Mint 400" dirt bike and dune buggy race. A savage journey to the heart of the American dream.<br><br>Before one can review the motion picture "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", he must first research the full length novel of the same name. The book first appeared in 1971 in issues 95 and 96 of Rolling Stone magazine, published November 11th and 25th respectively. Although the two part series stated its author was someone called Raoul Duke, the story was copyrighted in 1971 by Hunter S. Thompson. Raoul Duke is actually the false name under which Hunter Thompson portrays himself as main character and narrator.<br><br>The film was produced in the early goings of summer in 1998 almost as a tribute to the re-release of the novel in June. Directed by Monty Python's Flying Circus animator Terry Gilliam [12 Monkeys], the film was received quite poorly in the box office and even by the counterculture which was its target audience. Not even an impressive list of cameo appearances could salvage box office respect. This list featured Cameron Diaz, Cristina Ricci, Gary Busey, Lyle Lovett, Verne Troyer ["Minime" from Austin Powers], Penn Jillette [of Penn and Teller], Michael Jeter, and Flea [Red Hot…

    Throughout the movie Crash the director Patrick Haggis shows a lot of examples of the racial tension that occurs in our society. Haggis depicts different dialectics through separate scenarios of different stereotypical characters that interconnect in contributing to the plot. I am going to illustrate a few key points throughout the course of my paper; reality as motion, appearance versus essence, and contradiction energizing motion.…

    Mary Shelley?s original story provided a story line for the imagination of the filmmaker, making the movie related to the original story but also unique in itself. For the most part, if one were to only watch the movie they would have a fairly good sense of the book. There are many minor details which are different from the in the book and movie.…

    Another important event I realized was different, was the fact that when Simon, Ralph and Jack, in the book, go looking for the beast, it is dark, which can explain why Ralph cannot see that the “beast” is actually a man whereas in the film this important event happens in broad daylight which is not very credible from a spectator’s point of view.…

    The other key thing that made these stories different was the endings. In the film, the experiments wreak havoc on the city just so that they could get to safety. In the novel, the creation causes destruction for the sole purpose of tormenting its creator. The apes reach their destination and though they leave a wake of terror in their path are generally safe and complacent, while the protagonist quietly mourns losing his friend. On the other hand, Victor loses his life in the hunt for the creation and the monster commits suicide leaving no trace of any the events that took place. These…
