King Kong Taxidermy

I don't think "inter-racial romance" is the best word to describe it.

"Bestiality fetish" is more like it.

Oh yeah, you could say that on the outside, but when you consider in terms of film history King Kong's place in there, it's a very fine line.  I guess that's the point of subtext: it's not just there in plain view, but something underneath the story.

As Wes once said "King Kong got all of thse hot black women on Skull Island that are given to him, but he goes gaga for one white woman? What gives?"

Somebody earlier mentioned Kong rotting before he could be stuffed and mounted.  It was winter.  the cold would preserve the corpse.

My personal take on it was that Kong did love Ann.  She loved him as well, just not in the same way.  It was a typical Beatuy and the Beast story, where the Beast perishes through his love for Beauty.

And I was pleased to see Kong rack up a higher 'kill' count on the planes than in previous movies.  anybody else notice that all through the movie he was called just Kong, not King Kong?
