Kong was always misunderstood, but in the 2005 film, there is someone who knows it.ДЄs Kong ascends the skyscraper, Ann screams not because of the gorilla but because of the attacks on the gorilla by a society that assumes he must be destroyed. Yes, Kong in 1933 cares for his captive, but she doesn't care so much for him.

The movie more or less faithfully follows the outlines of the original film, but this fundamental adjustment in the relationship between the beauty and the beast gives it heart, a quality the earlier film was lacking. But Ann will be as safe as Kong can make her, and he will protect her even from her own species. Ann and Kong in this movie will be threatened by dinosaurs, man-eating worms, giant bats, loathsome insects, spiders, machineguns and the Army Air Corps, and could fall to their death into chasms on Skull Island or from the Empire State Building.

When Jack Driscoll climbs the mountain to rescue her, he finds her comfortably nestled in Kong's big palm. The scene is crucial because it removes the element of creepiness in the gorilla/girl relationship in the two earlier 'Kongs' (19), creating a wordless bond that allows her to trust him. She is like a tiny beautiful toy that he has been given for his very own, and before long, they are regarding the sunset together, both of them silenced by its majesty. From then on, he thinks of himself as the girl's possessor and protector. Kong's eyes widen in curiosity, wonder and finally what may pass for delight.

Well then, neither would I.Д«LOCK: Commentator Zoe Walrand is a writer who lives in Northern California and teaches at Humboldt State University.Д¬opyright В© 2006 NPR. Then his answer, because you couldn't keep your freaking mouth shut. As they neared the exit I heard her ask yet another question in that sweet, high pitched tiny voice. I don't know the circumstances and he is leaving the theater after all. Wait a minute, stop, this is none of my business. I followed, but my resolve began to fade. When her father had had enough he stood up and walked out, tiny daughter trailing behind. She whimpered, she pulled on her daddy's sleeve, she asked pleading tearful questions and finally she talked out loud. The action escalated, bodies flew, the heroine trembled, terrifying creatures leapt onto unsuspecting victims, people died in anguish. Why would you expose your precious little child to this horror show? I felt like a witness to child abuse, but with no bruises to prove it. I rehearsed, what on earth's the matter with you? You're her father. I thought of Hillary Clinton's IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD and decided then and there that I would confront her father when they left the theater. I wanted to grab her and run out of the theater before the images would traumatize, before that night's dreams. He was too mesmerized to offer the comfort of a lap or a hug. She squirmed, rocked back and forth, hopped on and off her chair, changed seats, hit her head and tried to talk to her daddy. As the images grew more repulsive and violent I couldn't help but watch the screen less and the little girl more. So is the tiny girl, a wispy blonde of no more than three or four sitting two rows in front of me in a seat away from her daddy.

I was disturbed, startled, scared, grossed out, even afraid just as I suspect Peter Jackson intended. I like it ok, but I didn't think it was silly. My friends said they thought the movie was a little silly, but they expressed tremendous admiration for the special effects. Recently a couple of grown up friends coerced me into attending Jackson's action spectacle where we heard a few cools and awesomes whispered with reverential fervor by zealous teenagers. It's no surprise that director Peter Jackson's retelling of the KING KONG story appeals to boys of all ages. She was wowed by the special effects, but not in the way you might imagine. But KING KONG was shut out in all the major categories for this year's Academy Awards.Д¬ommentator Zoe Walrand is not upset by that.

It's been nominated for four Oscars, Best Art Direction, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, and Visual Effects. The movie's described as featuring enough dinosaurs to overrun JURASSIC PARK. Critics have called KING KONG, director Peter Jackson's 207 million dollar special effects extravaganza, a triumph of digital technology.
