13:52 – The "Hayes Code" regarding on-screen censorship wasn't started until 1934. This was 1933.
Willis O'Brien created stop-motion animation for the 1022 silent movie, "The Lost World". Basically, using model creatures, he would film them, then change the positions of their limbs ever so slightly and film again, and on and on and on, so that they had the illusion of moving. It was painstaking and slow work beyond belief. Ray Harryhausen perfected it to about as advanced a level as it could be taken before other methods took over, eventually CGI. I wasn't born until 25 years after "King Kong" but it was considered a marvel of special effects even when I was a kid. I can't imagine how amazing it seemed in 1933, probably every bit as astounding, or even more astounding, than the early CGI seemed to audiences. It is interesting that the first rudimentary form of CGI was used in "Vertigo" in 1958, the year I was born, although that's obviously not what most people think of when they think of CGI.
King Kong, one of Hollywood's pre-Code movies, was to the 1930s what Jaws was to the 1970s. The pre-Code era was from 1931 to 1934 when sex and violence were common themes in movies. The Code era was from 1934 to 1968 with restrictions on movies to make them 'family friendly.'
Peter Jackson's 2005 King Kong is also a great film definitely check that one out. Although not a fan favorite 1976 King Kong is also fun . . Maybe you watch that one on your own.
Also don't forget to check out Kong : Skull Island 2017.
Now you need to watch Peter Jacksonās King Kong. About an hour too long in the first act but from the moment they get to the island to the end itās fantastic.
You seem a bit confused about the names. Jack is commonly used as a nickname for John.
Thanks for watching one of my favorite movies. If you need more researched history of Kongs filmography check out my content.
Great reaction. š
Give a chance to King Kong 2005 directed by Peter Jackson. It's pretty faithful to the spirit of the original film.
You should watch 1932's The Most Dangerous Game. Also, stars the same actress from King Kong, and same director, I think. For such an old film, it has genuine suspense and holds up very well.
The end is absolutely heartbreaking. Still gets me choked up.
There was an old sailor superstition that it was bad luck to have a woman aboard a ship.
The cultural attitudes about men and women seem almost beyond alien now, don't they? LOL.
Kong has certainly been upsized in subsequent movies…beginning with the 1976 King Kong with Jessica Lange making her debut as the beauty.
Had to watch this Movie in Grade 10 English Class, back in 1974. I like this Movie far more than the late 70s remake with Jessica Lange…
That sigh from you when they kissed
A classic adventure film with incredible effects of its time.
Its wild how much time it must have taken to film all of Kongs and Dinos animation, especially for how long some scenes are.
Willis O'Brian really breathed life into these creatures.
Not claymation, stop motion. Not āgreen screenā front projection. Great documentary on the DVD/Blu-Ray. Itās probably on YouTube. Iāve seen this movie countless times.
I hope you are lining up a few of the original horror classics to react to for October and the Halloween season. "Dracula" (1931) "Frankenstein" (1931), "The Mummy" (1932), "Bride of Frankenstein" (1935), "The Wolf Man" (1941)
I wTched this when i was alone upstairs i was 4 it scared me big time saw it again when i was 11 and saw it in different light… super big time sad.š¢ but still great movieš
One of the greatest monster movies ever made – way before cgi and that nonsense
"I'm falling behind in everything." So haven't I. I have missed you, Cassie! And your friend/friends that have watched with you. June
Wow! 91 years ago, this was "released."
āI think they should just drug him and take him back to the islandā
Well boys, she just discovered the secret ending to the King Kong video game
I haven't seen this movie in years, I also don't remember the 1st time I saw it, but I love the movie š
