Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame has remade King Kong.
I saw this film.
I cried after seeing this film.
I have no hatred for Peter Jackson or his team of amazing folks. What this person… hates…… cannot stand and thinks should be relegated to the same dark, murky hole in Hades that hopefully holds the entire body of black-face entertainment is the story.
King Kong, which was made famous as a 1930’s film, is the story of a white, very white…extremely white and Aryan the way Ann Coulter wishes she was Aryan…woman who some how ends up on a tropical, very tropical, WILD and untamed island populated by…NATIVES! Yep, natives who become entranced with this Aryan representation of civilized female beauty even though they have never set eyes on a white woman. Depending on the version, they either have always worshiped white women or simply begin to worship them once they set eyes on the blond bombshell that plops down on their island.
Now, they have a secret. A big f******* secret! There is a giant highly sexualized primate lurking on the island! Oh no! Jesus, why would a loving Gawd ever create such a beast? In the words of Wolf Blitzer…he’s so black!
In order to pacify said giant black primate, the natives offer up sacrificial women. The giant primate then takes the women and leaves the natives alone for a while. ‘Cause…well, you know…he’s getting his freak on. And everyone knows that giant sexualized primates are soothed and calmed by the company of a terrified nubile woman.
Even though the regular offering of native women has pacified the giant primate, the natives know that this stunning white woman will put his ass over the top. S***, they started coveting her right from the start! No way is their giant highly sexualized primate going to turn down a tryst with an unwilling blond beauty.
So, they capture the girl, tie her ass to a stake and offer her.
The giant primate, who represents society’s notion that black men are obsessed with white women and are driven into uncontrollable frenzies by them, comes upon the blond and…well…becomes obsessed with her and is driven into an uncontrollable frenzy.
It gets better!
The blond, at first disgusted and terrified by the giant black primate, begins to fall under its spell. This is vital, because EVERYONE knows that the black man…oh, sh**…no that would be the ‘giant black primate’ has skills and, given enough time, can seduce pure untouched blonds with his sexual prowess!
Lets see…ummm…oh yes…blond is freed, primate is captured, marketing blitz hits New York, blond feels sorry for primate, primate is obsessing over blond, primate gets loose…city is terrorized, blond is kidnapped by obsessed primate, they get to the Empire State building and somehow the primate gets to the top. Makes sense since we’re talking about a GIANT primate who just has to be used to climbing tall buildings and sh** like that. Anyhoo… the primate, with blond in hand, is shot and falls to the bottom. Terrorized blond cries and primate dies with one…
large…
extremely large and black…
…f****** GIANT and BLAAAAAACK hand reaching out towards said virginal blond symbol of white pure beauty.
Sigh.
Yeah, a modern civilised well educated person f****** hates this story. My ass knows that Hollywood can’t and/or won’t get its sh** together regarding portrayals of them minorities. But f******* this f****** ****!
F******* everyone involved in bringing this historic insult back to the screen…to insult the f******** **** out of me again! F*********!
WAKE UP!.. WAKE UP… it’s the 21st f******** century !!!
And as far as the portrayal of women…oh sh**, that requires another post. Suffice it to say, King Kong is a revival of the pedestal and blondie sits right on top of it. Virginal, untouched, coveted…she is the ultimate possession…a literal theatrical attraction.
Between the portrayal of women and the resurrection of antiquated racial stereotypes, this self aware person can find little good in the King Kong story. Which means that this remake will join the other blockbuster films of 2005 on the worst films of all time list.
Except that King Kong is barely a villain. Really the white males that fail to understand him are the villains. And the constant references to Conrad's Heart of Darkness and other post-colonial texts make it more complex than the above retelling suggests. Or did you miss its subtlety?
Its brainwashing people on a global scale to hate blacks and portray them as rapists of white woman.
It promotes internecine hatred and warfare.
It promotes blacks as savages.That scene on the (racially named) Skull Island was racially ridiculous where as soon as they see white women they go crazy with their spears and bongo drums and their evil chantings.
It stereotypes them as savages and kidnappers who make banging noises when they see a white woman with blonde hair.
For example when YOU see a banana you automatically associate it with monkeys and black people because of the 60 years of associated imagery in your head from books,magazines,tv,movies.
Your attempt to belittle the issue shows you to be insensitive and accepting of racial stereotyping so that your ego can feel superior.
Look I am ENRAGED this movie offended me.YOU seem to be either complacent or easily brainwashed by the mass media hype.
I can prove my arguement point by point.
Look you need to check the history of the 1933 King Kong film
and the people who made it.
just type in "King Kong racist" in google and you will see the origins of the film were based on profound racism.
I fear you do not want to address your own prejudices and thats why you never had a decent argument.
Look I can prove my point without insulting anyone unlike some people above.
I can prove it.
When you see nature/animal documentaries on tv the genetalia of animals is not removed or blocked or pixilated.
right?
you got that?
in fact you see programs on discovery channel etc showing animals mating on daytime tv......including monkeys,apes,gorillas.
right?
you got that?
now in the film the penis of King Kong was conspicous by its absence.
why?
this is a very important point.
if he was meant to be portrayed as an animal they would not have removed his penis.
but BECAUSE HE WAS MEANT TO PORTRAY A BESTIAL STEREOTYPICAL BLACK SAVAGE WHO WANTS TO KIDNAP/RAPE WHITE VIRGIN BLONDES THAT WHY HIS PENIS WAS NOT VISIABLE BECAUSE because that is not allowed on mainstream dytime tv/mainstream none x -rated fims.
King Kong is meant to SYMBOLIZE a black person that why his penis was removed.If he was meant to portray an animal then his penis would not have been removed as proved in the discovery nature channels programs
on daytime tv.
you got that?
i.e full frontal nudity of men is not allowed on mainstream daytime tv/non x-rated films.
you got that?
this proves that king kong was not just a gorilla on the rampage but meant to symbolise blacks.
When you say you dont see apes as blacks you are either lying or self delusional. White people see blacks as apes.Thats why when you see a banana you associate IT with blacks and apes.
On Skull Island blacks were portrayed as crazy drum banging savages.Why?
Why did they kidnap a white blonde girl.The film portrayed them as rapists and kidnappers of white virgen blonde girls.
And portrayed blacks as killers, savages,kidnappers and bestial savages.
Did you see the bones?
Why?
When you see images of a jungle the mental picture conjured in your heads is of black cannibals boiling people to eat them and blacks living in mudhuts or swinging from the trees throwing spears.
Look at the Tarzan films.
When you see blacks on TV you hate them even more because they have a better job then you and you feel even more justification for your intense hatred and loathing of all blacks.
For example if you had a black friend and you fell out and had a fight the FIRST abuse you would use against the black would be "black *******" or "nigger".
In King Kong blacks are portrayed as rapists of white blonde women and must therefore be machine gunned to death.
In King Kong the giant ape had no penis?
Where was it? well?
This as an attempt to portray blacks as bestial savages but without an actual penis.
Even when King Kong was standing erect we could not see his penis yet blacks are portrayed as rapists of young blonde virgin white women.
Even when the blonde was between his legs we could not see his penis.
How could she be raped without a penis?
It makes no sense.
Why?
Why?
I ask you why?
For once you could actually try to address the profound and very logical arguments put to you instead of evading them.
^I don't think you're pointing out anything particularly surprising by saying that King Kong isn't representative of a typical animal. Of course he has human-like qualities. That's the whole point of the movie. The movie sympathizes with him, shows how he has been used and abused by the humans who attempt to profit from him. He isn't villified. I had tears in my eyes when he died.
And I'm not sure why you are upset that he wasn't portrayed as a rapist...
esecallum, you have me convinced. I want my ten dollars back, or I want to see King Kong's penis. Alright, that didn't came our right. I don't want to see his penis, either way. Down with racism!!
esecallum it was a make over of a movie, for God sake its a movie. Its for entertainment, dont make it a target of criticism. I dont know whether u have noticed it or not but there was an African American in their sailing crew buddy, or maybe u were just too busy critiquing it.
Anyway a person has to have a really low iq to be brainwashed by it.
it would be forgivable if it wasn't a recurring theme in many hollywood epic movies.
Last Samurai - white guy goes to japan, gets japanese woman, ends up being the last samurai........now just imagine it..........a white guy is the last samurai......you got to have some serious nerve to even pitch that as an idea, let alone make an entire movie about it. but it went over great, because america doesn't want to see a movie where there's a non-white hero.
Hidalgo - white guy goes over to arabia, gets arabian chick, wins contest, beats up all arab bad guys
Lord of the Rings - no non-white guys in the movie whatsoever.....the bad guys on the oliphants looked curiously similar to arabs
Kingdom of Heaven - white guy goes to Jerusalem and LOSES the war....and the entire movie is based on the LOSER's life...........and dont forget he gets busy with a arab lady also........my favorite part of the movie was where he is awarded a piece of land......the land looks dry and desolate and all the poor little arab kids are in a desparate situation...... the genius orlando bloom scratches his head and thinks to himself "i know what this place needs .........water!!!!!!!"
the next scene shows the land as fertile oasis with trees and gardens and all the little arab children dancing around happily.
ALL of the Indiana Jones movies were INCREDIBLY RACIST........one was even banned in India
Anyway a person has to have a really low iq to be brainwashed by it.
Look.You are either blind or self delusional.
well done.you are the only one who has conjured up more than a paragraph unlike some other people i could mention.
however you are still wrong
Look why do you insist on trying to delude yourself that King Kong is not racist?
its called pavlovian conditioning.
blacks are being associated with bad things in the film so that when you
see a black you will think bad things about blacks.
i have more proof:-
i quote...
blacks are a threat whites by being portrayed as black sexual monsters who instill fears in whites...

King Kong and the White Woman: Hustler Magazine and the Demonization of Black Masculinity
Published in Journal of Violence Against Women, 1998, Vol. 4 No 3, (291-307)
by Gail Dines
From the box office success of The Birth of a Nation in 1915 to the national obsession with O.J. Simpson, the image of the black male as the spoiler of white womanhood has been a staple of media representation in this country. The demonization by the media of black men as rapists and murderers has been well documented by scholars interested in film (Carby, 1993; Guerrero, 1993; Mercer, 1994; Snead, 1994; Wiegman, 1993; Winston, 1982), news (Entman, 1990; Gray, 1989) and rap music (Dyson, 1993; Rose, 1994th........e ck men as outside the “normal” realm of (white) masculinity by constructing them as “other” (Wiegman, 1993). Although both the “Uncle Tom” and the sexual monster continue to define the limits of black male representation in mainstream media, it is the latter image which dominates, and, according to Mercer (1994), serves to legitimize racist practices such as mass incarceration of black men, police brutality and right-wing government policy.
Recently, scholars have turned their attention to pornography (Cowan & Campbell, 1994; Forna, 1992; Mayall amd Russell, 1993; Mercer, 1994) and............. black male body, especially the penis, as dangerous and a threat to white male power............
Of the hundreds of mass-produced, mass-distributed pornography magazines the three best sellers are Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler (Osanka, 1989). While these three magazines are often lumped together they differ marked............. editorials, constructs a world populated by working-class whites who live in trailer homes, eat in fast-food restaurants and wear ill-fitting clothes. While blacks are absent from most sections of the magazine, they appear regularly in caricatured form in the cartoons where they are depicted as competing with white men for the few sexually available white women. Hustler cartoons depict a world filled with seething racial tensions brought about by the black male’s alleged insatiable appetite for white women. The competition between black and white men and the ultimate victory of the black male is the source of much “humor” in Hustler c.........., what happens if black masculinity is allowed to go uncontained. ....... myth where black masculinity, having been allowed to run amok because of liberal policies, has finally rendered white men impotent, both sexually and economically.
From “The Birth of A Nation” to “Black Studs”
Theorists such as Wiegman (1993) and Snead (1994) have traced the beginnings of the image of the black man as sexual monster back to the late nineteenth century, as the product of a white supremacist ideology which saw the end of slavery as bringing about an unleashing of animalistic, brute violence inherent in African-American men. D.W. Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation (1915), was, without question, the first major mass circulation of this image in film and was to become the blueprint for how contemporary mass media depicts black males.
The notion of the black male as sexual monster has been linked to the economic vulnerability that white working-class men feel in the face of a capitalist economy over which they have little power. Guerrero (1993), in his discussion of the emergence of this new stereotype in the novels of Thomas Dixon, suggests ........... depreciated sense of manhood by taking up the honorific task of protecting White Womanhood against the newly constructed specter of the “brute Negro” (p. 12).
This encoding of the economic threat within a sexual context, is, according to Snead (1994), the principal mechanism of cinematic racism and is one of the subplots of the enormously successful King Kong movie (re-named King Kong and the White Women in Germany). Arguing that “in all Hollywood film portrayals of blacks … the political is never far from the sexual” Snead links the image of King-Kong rampaging through the streets of Manhattan with a defenseless white woman clutched to his body to the increasing economic emasculation of white men in the Depression years and the growing fear that black migration from the South had reduced the number of jobs available to working-class whites. King Kong’s death at the end of the movie remasculinizes the white man, not only by his conquering of the black menace but also by regaining the woman. In this way, representations of black men and white men are not isolated images working independently but rather “correlate … in a larger scheme of semiotic valuation” (Snead, 1994: 4). Thus, the image of the black male as sexual savage serves to construct white male sexuality as the protector of white womanhood, as contained and, importantly, as capable of intimacy and humanity.
In her analysis of black and white masculinity in Hollywood movies, Jones (1993), argues that although black and white actors are increasingly portrayed in terms of a violent masculinity, for white actors this violence is tempered by his sexually intimate scenes with a white woman. These scenes assures the audience that for all his violence, the white male is still capable of bonding with another human being and of forming relationships. For black actors, however, this humanizing quality is absent and thus he can only be defined in terms of his violence. The problem with these types of representations is that, according to Jones, “they suggest that there are fundamental differences in the sexual behavior of black males and white males and are ultimately indicative of the psychic inferiority of the black male” (1993: 250), and the superiority of white masculinity.
Hard-core pornography similarly depicts black men as more sexually dehumanized than white men. ....... (Cowan & Campbell, 1994; Mayall amd Russell, 1993), have found that it is black male characters who are granted the least humanity and are most lacking in ability to be intimate. Moreover, in movies and magazines which feature black men, the focus of the camera and plot is often the size of his penis and his alleged insatiable sexual appetite for white women. Movies with titles such as Big Bad Black Dicks, Black Stallions on Top, Black PricksWhite Pussy, and Black Studs, draw attention to the black male body and in particular the penis, a rare occurrence in pornography targeted at heterosexual men. Movies such as The Adventures of Mr. Tootsie Pole (Bo Entertainment Groups) feature a black male and white female on the cover. The text beneath the picture says “he’s puttin his prodigious pole to the test in tight white pussy.” In Black Studs (Glitz Entertainment), three white women are shown having sex with three Black men. Above the pictures, the text reads, “These girls can’t get enough of that long black dick.” The penis becomes the defining feature of the black man and his wholeness as a human being is thus rendered invisible.
....abuse of white women by black men began appearing in the late 1970s and by the mid-1980s, Hustler was running an average of 2-3 such cartoons an issue. Hustler was by no means the first to produce such as image but it is probably the first mass-distributed cultural product (albeit in caricatured form) to visually depict an enormous black penis actually doing severe physical damage to the vagina of a small white women.....

THIS SCHOLARLY ARTICLE VINDICATES MY EVIDENCE BASED PROPOSTION.
That King Kong is designed to promote race hatred and devision to increase racial tensions to profit those who benefit from these tensions and hatred....
Peter Jackson must be racist and even in the Lord of the Rings all evil was portrayed as black while whites and blondes were all good.
We wonder why Peter Jackson is such a racist monster....
