King Kong [DVD]

Product Information

The story is simple and elegant: adventurous filmmaker Carl Denham (a sharp Robert Armstrong, whose character was based more or less on Kong mastermind Merian C. Warner’s transfer is just as good as those of the Kong films (as on the previous laserdisc, a red tint has been added to the climax, with no loss of image clarity), and this disc is heavier on the supplements than Son.

The renowned animator’s work—with contributions by model-maker Marcel Delgado—set a standard for decades, and even as herky-jerky as Kong and his island enemies can sometimes look, there is also an organic texture and eerie energy to them that still makes them more lifelike than most modern-day CGI creations. He manages to put the incredible process into layman's terms for us, but it is quite clear that his dedication to the craft is unequalled.

Here we get a lot of professors and social commentators lecturing us on economic, social and political history of the 1930's, from the soup kitchens, the Hooverville shanties, Prohibition, the rise of vaudeville and the even greater rise of the skyscrapers. In Depression-era New York, unscrupulous filmmaker Carl Denham (Jack Black) is desperate to find a leading lady for his new picture. Resta comunque un pilastro dei giochi per PSP e per chi ha ed usa ancora questa console non può certo mancare in collezione. A film crew goes to a tropical island for an exotic location shoot and discovers a colossal ape who takes a shine to their female blonde star.How about the chugging of the Venture as it steams through the seas with a sound very reminiscent of the spacecraft approaching Earth in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home? Even on super-large projection screens, the edge enhancement is minimal and there are no traces of artifacting, smearing, dot crawl or blocking. From its well-drawn characters (including the big ape himself) to its carefully developed story to the evident, hands-on craftsmanship that went into its production, King Kong is an epic with both a poignant emotional core and a mythic quality that allows it to transcend the limitations of its era. Jackson and cinematographer Andrew Lesnie have a real eye for the demands of the moment: epic, claustrophobic, kinetic, or otherwise. The final, tragic act of the film, set mostly atop the Empire State Building, is where Kong earns its place in movie history as a work that celebrates both the technical and emotional heights that film can reach.

But no, Kong goes on too long; particularly in this Extended Edition, which sees a disgruntled triceratops and a giant piranha push us well past the three-hour threshold. La colonna sonora è magnifica e si adatta perfettamente alle scene, creando un'atmosfera di suspense e di avventura. Nevertheless, whatever the commentary lacks is made up for in the massive, 158-minute documentary on disc two. But, as it stands, these diaries are very extensive and entertaining and, in a great many ways, form the perfect Making Of, in that you see exactly how things were done, meet all the unsung heroes and have almost everything explained to you along the way.

What he finds are another beauty and her beast: Jill Young (Terry Moore) and Joe, the towering gorilla she has raised since both were very small. The fast-talking O’Hara convinces Jill to bring Joe to LA, where they become stars, but both soon chafe at the restrictions of fame.

Plus could you really see Robert De Niro in a dinosaur stampede or George Clooney fighting giant wetas? As far as Weta Digital go, I don't think we really see enough of what it took to produce Kong and his battles and presumably this, along with the recollections of the cast which is also curious by its absence on the DVD, will be catered for when we get the next edition of King Kong. Wilson views him as a profitable Broadway attraction, but the ape has other ideas and escapes to rampage through the streets of the Big Apple. Such is Jackson's expert control, unseen since Spielberg's populist heyday; such is his absolute conviction that some themes - namely the death of innocence - transcend the language of words. Although the long-awaited release of the original 1933 King Kong is clearly timed to coincide with the arrival of Peter Jackson’s behemoth remake, someone at Warner Home Video must have deliberately scheduled this deluxe DVD’s street date as close to Thanksgiving as possible.But after Kong escapes, the ape unleashes his awesome power against the city in an attempt to find Ann, the woman he truly loves, leading to a tragic conclusion atop the Empire State Building. La versione PSP rispetto alle versioni per PC e console fisse è più catterai graficamente e ci sono meno livelli e quelli che ci dono presentano dei tagli ed alcune scene d’azione complesse che sono state trasformate in più semplici filmati prerenderizzati. tribute that gives us a tantalizing look at what the scene might have been (and is that a “1933-style” version of Lord of the Rings’ Shelob in there? With a genuine heart between beauty and the beast, there is plenty to admire and enjoy in this modern epic. Whilst it’ll never have the same impact and legacy of the 1933 classic, at least Peter Jackson had this in mind and pays loving tribute rather than trying to surpass it or make out to be the first film to feature the giant gorilla (cough, 1976 film).
