King Kong (1933) Response

Prior to watching King Kong (1933) I would not have believed I'd be able to enjoy a movie made so long ago and lacking in the special effects technology of today. Watching this movie gave me the opportunity to really appreciate the effort it took to make a movie back in the day. Despite the miserable animation and obnoxious noises, I was still able to really feel for King Kong when he was shot off of empire state building. The only aspect of the movie which I found significantly unappealing was having to listen to Fay Wray's screaming every time she found herself far too useless to escape Kong on her own. The original King Kong is no Avatar, but it certainly was able to keep my interest.
