Saw King Kong today. Very, very good movie. Very sad as well. Peter Jackson is brilliant, there’s no doubt about it. I look forward to the movies he makes in the future.

 

Kong had some great imagery in it. Some deep messages woven through it as well. The largest theme of course seems to have been humanity versus nature, which runs through much art. Some interesting glimpses of imperialism and the themes of love versus might against a threat.

 

That’s it for now – a great film – every kid should see it – it is the stuff of fantastic dreams and yes it is scarey…but sometimes being scared can be a good thing.

 

Saw the preview for Superman as well – that looks good and faithful…already have the words of Jor-el from the trailer in my mind – something about humanity having the capacity for great good "which is the only reason that I have sent you, my only son, to them". Setting up the Christ imagery and sacrifice themes no doubt.
