	King Kong (1933)
		Co-producers and directors Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack (both real-life adventurers and film documentarians) conceived of the low-budget story of a beautiful, plucky blonde woman (Fay Wray) and a frightening, gigantic, 50 foot ape-monster as a metaphoric re-telling of the archetypal Beauty and the Beast fable.

		Other films of the era such as Tarzan the Ape Man (1932) and Lost Horizon (1937) both held the view that happiness in life could be found by abandoning civilization and its attendant worries and returning to a much simpler, untroubled way of life in undiscovered parts of the globe.
		In this primal borderland world Kong is clearly seen to be the king of the jungle and the film spends much time reveling in the primal majesty of his glory.
		The end of the film where Kong is tragically cut down by biplanes as he tries to climb the then tallest peak in New York City, the Empire State Building, is a paen for such primal majesty being brought down by civilization.

	King Kong (1933) - Movie Review
		While King Kong is not hailed as a classic of narrative film, it was the one picture that made way, carved the path, for all modern day blockbusters.
		What really makes King Kong a film that will be revered for as long as there is cinema and people to huddle in the darkness to watch it, is Willis O’Brien’s special stop-motion effects.
		But King Kong was the first film to really show us the animal as a combination of both – Kong is at once utterly foreign and at the same time comfortably familiar.

	Combustible Celluloid film review - King Kong (2005), Peter Jackson, Naomi Watts, Adrien Brody, Jack Black, dvd review
		In King Kong (1933), a filmmaker hops on a ship with a camera and a pretty girl hoping to make a movie about a giant ape.
		When Jack attempts to rescue her from the arms of a sleeping Kong, her face reveals joy, embarrassment, dismay and sadness all in one beat.
		The film also draws interesting parallels between Denham and Kong with their looming, darting eyes; they're equals, both master showmen and kings of their own jungles.
