hawkwing_lbSaw King Kong.
It's a film about a 10 metre tall ape, and, as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
matociqula said (at some point lately), it's art.
No, really.
Mind, I could have stood without the squicky insect bits, and it could have stood to be shorter by a half-hour or so, but...
The end, with Kong on top of the Empire State Building - it's iconic. Really.
It made me think of Tennyson Tho' we are not now that strength which in old days/Moved earth and heaven...
And it was just so superbly cast.
