King Kong (2005 film)/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • How is it that in this whole movie that person you sympathize most with is Jack Black's ruthless film director? Virtually everything he did from the moment someone tells us that his character "destroys everything he loves" was given such a heartbreaking gravitas as we realize that he really does care about things (including the monkey) and yet he never changes his course of action to save it.
  • I was nearly moved to tears by the scene of Ann and Kong in Central Park, because it showed that they were far more than their archetypes of damsel in distress and monster. The tear jerker factor here was derived from the fact that I knew how the film would end (like the remake would change it), and so knew that there was no hope for a happy ending for them.
    • Nearly? That scene is the one that always makes me cry whenever I see the film.
