King Kong was made in 1933 and it was directed and produced by Merian C. Cooper as well as Ernest B. Schoedsack. The film follows the story of a group of American film makers who travel to a distant island where they discover a giant gorilla who becomes infatuated with the blonde actress in the group. The team capture the gorilla and take him back for public exhibition in America. King Kong includes worldly views from the time period that it was made, meaning that often it is very sexist and racist with the African tribesmen being shown as primitive and savage-like and the white American film crew shown as heroic, daring and brave. Repeatedly the female lead character Ann Darrow is put down and considered below the rest of the sailors and film crew due to her gender. She is said to be frail and to get in the way just like all woman. This really reflects the views towards woman and people of a none white race for the time period. King Kong can also be repeatedly linked into slaver...
Nice, Maddi! :)
