I remember when I saw the movie the very, very first time... I was eight years old, and I was just so amazed when I watched "King Kong." By that time, I never thought any movie would beat the fantastic impression I got by that movie. I completely loved it, the movie magic was so real, unfalse and so tremendous. It was an amazing experience. To have watched such a movie when I was eight really made a lasting impression to my growing movie interest. It is sure one of the very first movies that made me a movie buff today. I love movies, I love making movies, just because of that movie and other movies that I saw by that time. I think that I have got the fortunate to have watched such great movies by that age, because I am sure that if I had just watched kid movies starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito, my interest in movies had been very different today.
Since then, I haven't watched it again. I haven't dared to try give it another try, because I want to beware the first memory of the movie... for now.
I remember the boat shipping to the island, the woods, the Indian dancing around the king Kong and the movie producers with the blonde actor Fay Wray getting caught in King Kong's arms, making him falling in love with her... how he later gets caught... and how he made the famous climbing to the top of Empire State Building. It is these things that I will never forget, these things that made me love movies. King Kong... it is a very tremendous movie, a movie that nobody should underestimate or even call a nasty movie. It is one of the greatest movies made of all time, because it was such a tremendous, such an amazing movie for its time... and still today, because we are so amazed how the movie could have been made in 1933. Yeah, the picture quality is not of the best compared to present movies, but it is one of the things that made King Kong... King Kong. Without this, it hadn't been famous. It hadn't been a classic. It hadn't made Peter Jackson a movie director. It is an evidence how meaningful a movie can be, because it can influence so many lives, whether you want it or not. However, I am sure that there are also people who don't get the point of King Kong. I respect them for that. Everybody can't have caught the magic, the important message of the movie... Some were really impressed by the magic, others not. It is the truth. It is what happens with all the other movies too. It is nothing special.
But to me, King Kong will forever be the very very first favorite movie of mine. It is still a favorite movie, even if I haven't watched it once since then. I still want to beware the magic, the memory.
