Description
"In 1933, Merian C. Cooper, Ernest Schoedsack, and Willis O'Brien created more than movie magic. King Kong is a pop-cultural icon and a central part of American mythology. But more than just another "Beauty and the Beast" tale, Kong Unbound also allows us to examine such themes as:
- The Great Depression and America's place in the world
- Kong as Avatar of Repressed Sexual Energy
- Kong as a Symbol of Slavery and Racism
- Kong as Alternate Paleontology
- The Triumph of Technology over the Natural World"
