Call me crazy..But, I kind of have to agree with both sides on this issue. Being white, and looking at it in the perspective of a black person I can see what she is talking about...I mean, come on.

No element of a story or work is "accidentally" included; if an artist does not want something there, it is not there. If something IS there, he likes it there.<BR/><BR/>Why? <BR/><BR/>This movie could have had any number of different elements, but the writers chose THOSE SPECIFIC elements. Why? Because they resonated with the writers. For some reason, the writers just LIKED them. That alone says all we need about the minds of the creators. <BR/><BR/>Why on earth would a writer LIKE the idea of a giant black gorilla that "uses" (use your imagination; we have to) women, and goes into a frenzy over a WHITE woman? What about that theme resonates in the mind of a creator? <BR/><BR/>Why not use a black woman? Or an old man and a female gorilla? Or a fat Asian woman? Or a small poodle? Why a Gorilla? Why wasn't the T-Rex the star? Or a giant tiger? Or a giant crab? Or a giant parrot? Or.. or... or... any of those would have been just as plausible and just as terrifying. <BR/><BR/>But for the creator, something about his mindset RESONATED with a giant gorilla surrounded by blackfaced natives. Why?<BR/><BR/>It tells us something. It doesn't tell us that a group of old fat white men in 1930 sat around in a smokey room and had a meeting on how best to make a subtlely oppressive, hideously insulting movie to help keep the black man down and inferior in the minds of middle-class honkeys, necessarily. But it does tell us something about the inner workings of the artist's mind, as well as the minds of the folks who get defensive over it.<BR/><BR/>~DimDubhehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149981775243281723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1136285902148201892006-01-03T04:58:00.000-06:002006-01-03T04:58:00.000-06:00So black folks are offended because King Kong is d...So black folks are offended because King Kong is depicting a bad image of a huge black ape.

G...Ya know, I went and saw the movie Christmas eve. <BR/><BR/>Guess what? Sometimes the 25 foot gorilla is actually just a 25 foot gorilla who is the last of his kind and desperately lonely. Kong doesn't want Anne for sex, nor because she's white. A very poignant scene in the film shows us (the audience) very graphically that all of Kongs pride of giant gorillas has dies out. Kong is alone. Anne, a vaudeville comedian, uses her wits by performing her act for Kong. He is entranced by her act, and especially enjoys the pratfalls. When he takes her to his "lair", he shows her his favorite thing in the world....the huge cliffside resting place where he watches the sunset. <BR/><BR/>That's right. Kong, who has to fight friggin' dinosaurs every day just to survive, enjoys watching the sunset. And he wanted someone to share that with. Why didn't the tribeswomen make it that far w/him? Who knows. Who cares. Kong isn't in love with Anne, she is (to him) his <I>best friend</I>.<BR/><BR/>No one can watch the scene of Kong holding Anne while clowning and sliding on the first ice he's probably ever encountered and see anything other than two friends playing and laughing together.<BR/><BR/>This film isn't about race. Sometimes the giant ape is just a giant ape. A LONELY giant ape who is human enough to appreciate the value of a friend.<BR/><BR/>The races of this world will never get along, or find common ground of any kind until people quit looking for racism under every rock and frame of film in existance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1134963196185806992005-12-18T21:33:00.000-06:002005-12-18T21:33:00.000-06:00King Kong is Beauty and The Beast with a twist.As ...King Kong is Beauty and The Beast with a twist.<BR/><BR/>As previously mentioned, when the film was made, racism wasn't subtle. It was in your face and blatant. The tribes people in King Kong for example.<BR/><BR/>I think that we are viewing a film released in 1933 based on the perceptions of those living in 2005. A good share of movies contain racist depictions of Black people. However, there is no effort to hide this. There is no symbolism. It's out there and at the time, it was acceptable. People's attitudes were what they were. At that time, nobody felt the need to hide their racism. It was in everything from film to advertising.<BR/><BR/>King Kong isn't an analogy. It's a movie about a giant ape. Why was the character of Ann Darrow white? Of course she was white. All movie stars were white at that time. Is that racist? Of course it is. Why was the gorilla black? Because gorillas are black. Is that racist? No. Gorillas are actually black.<BR/><BR/>Is this movie a reminder of how racist our country was and what kinds of attitudes people harbored about Black people? Of course it is. So are many movies of the period. However, there is no pretext in King Kong. The ape is an ape. There is no symbolism.<BR/><BR/>Was this a story really about a savage Black man falling in love with a beautiful White woman and the only socially acceptable way of telling such a love story in 1933 was to use a gorilla as a metaphor? I have no problem with interacial relationships. Seems a bit too deep for 1933 though. I would like to think it was a tragic story about a Black man who left his home to be with a White woman and tragically ended with his death because people were unaccepting and close minded. I wish there was a deeper social commentary in King Kong. In the end, I think it was a movie with a good looking actress and a primate because that kind of stuff made for good box.<BR/><BR/>http://www.jimcrowhistory.org/resources/lessonplans/hs_es_popular_culture.htm<BR/><BR/>/the pterosaur in King Kong was the Jew.<BR/>//In the Son of Kong, the ape was albino/white.

The Aztecs sacrificed virgins up until the 1600s. The Iroquoi scalped their foes until the 1800s. Certain African tribes make drinks out of the blood and milk of cows, and some New Guinean and South American tribes practice ritual cannibalism. </I><BR/><BR/>...and Americans, who live in the wealthiest nation on earth, don't provide universal health care for their fellow citizens. Barbarism takes many forms. Bottom line is that the Kong story has serious issues (racism, imperialism, sexism) that Peter Jackson, remaking it for the 21st century, failed to deal with. He just stuck his head in the sand and played with his CGI machines to make what amounts to a 3 hour video game. That shows a serious lack of vision IMHO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1134841767543835732005-12-17T11:49:00.000-06:002005-12-17T11:49:00.000-06:00Nice to see that once again the minorities come up...Nice to see that once again the minorities come up and say, "I'm being oppressed, this movie is specifically aimed at discriminating against me!!
