King Kong the 8th Wonder/Nth Blunder of the world.

Monday, December 26, 2005
This was the movie i saw yesterday. Actually i was longing for some sleep coz i slept hardly for 3 hrs the previous night. Yup i left for office at morning 4 o clock, But my frends called me at afternoon for a movie, since it had been a long time since we have gone for a movie together i said yes and finally we decided for King Kong ( the truth is that we cudnt get a ticket for any other gud movie). "It is one of the best movies i have ever seen"
This wud have been my comment if i were a 10 year old kid, but i am old now am able to reason things. So i didnt like the movie much, am confused whether i should thank God for givin me this power of reasoning or to hate him coz am not able to enjoy a movie. OK now we ll go into the story line.
Heroine is a drama artist, suddenly the theatre is closed. She starves for food. Luckily gets an oppurtunity to act in a movie directed by a person who wanna shoot his movie in some new location (like our director Shankar), so he selects Skull Island where no one has even gone before and the crew starts out in a ship. The heroine falls for the script writer in the movie on the ship journey. When they go to the Skull island the heroine is unfortunately served as food for a huge Ape. Ape instead of eating her falls for her beauty and does whatever she says like a dog, Then the director traps KK and brings him to NewYork and finally the ape dies.
I tried to tell the story in one line but it took me so much. The positives of the movie are:
1. Peter Jackson has taken great effort in showing the NewYork as it was before 50 years or so. Each ever frame has been sculpted carefully.
2. There are some comic scenes between the heroine and KK.(King Kong)
3. Special effects are gud and especially KK is very well done.

Negatives are:
1. Remaking an old story is always negative.
2. Unnecessarily Peter Jackson introduced some dinosaurs and creepy animals. I think he has mixed all the monsters that have appeared in various english movies.
3. Hero is the greatest person in the world and no monster can kill him.
4. Heroine looks beautiful sometimes and at some frames she looks disgusting.
5. Over graphics and unnecessary chasing scenes between the movie crew and dinos.
6. Climax is too long and boring.
7. The tribal people of Skull island have over done their roles and unneccesary make up.

Peter Jackson has got a new disease after making the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the name of that disease is Longomoviasis (its my own term)i.e. somehow you should make the movie long even if it has a short story. This movie runs unnecesarily for around than 2 and half hrs. But i enjoyed that time irrespective of the movie quality, coz we passed comments along with the other audiences, we compared the movie with our own Rama Narayanan. We heard songs like "Nandri sollave unakku en mannava vaarthai illaiye..." when KK saves the heroine and "Sollal aditha sundari...." when heroine and KK enter into a ooodal etc.
The only thing that i liked in the movie was the post climax dialogue, when KK is dead the people nearby will say that "The planes killed him" at that time our director (not peter Jackson) says "It is not the planes, it is the beauty that killed the Beast", thats true, even beasts and great people fall for beauty and die at last.
Thank God this movie dint gimme a headache like War of Worlds.
In short if you have no other work to do or if you have any kids go for King Kong.

    First of all thnx for visting my blog.
    True veda, but there are some really gud movies in english deserved to be seen. The people whom u say are the kind who tell "I dont watch Tamil movies", according to them there is no gud movie in tamil, when i joined my company i had to speak to a new hr trainee girl when i was talking to her i casually asked about some tamil movie, i dont remember exactly, she said "I dont watch Tamil movies" so it is not only the college going grls it is everyone and in my opinion girls are generally the major part of this kind.
