In recent weeks I have purchased and acquired several films of different genres and eras, perhaps all they have in common is what I were economic.
Among these films is the first version of King Kong, released in 1933, and directed by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack. King Kong is a film that is easily ridiculous today, but its historical significance is undeniable. Special effects and bizarre story inspired many filmmakers around the world including Eiji Tsuburaya set, Ray Harryhausen, Peter Jackson, the latter, it is known, was commissioned in 2005 to reinvent the famous character in a film starring Naomi Watts, Jack Black and Adrien Brody.
More than 60 years after its creation, to paraphrase Jorge Luis Brges, this piece is classical and therefore, it means everything to everyone. Personally, I prefer the raised by Igor Ubelgott at 64 Algarabía journal: "... King Kong is the sign of the dark, earthy, wild and full of human hair, which is expelled from Paradise by temptation of a woman who, like the Eve of Genesis, it is tempting, but devouring, poison- and hence the drop to a terrible world full of imperfections.
