Beauty and the Beast

"It's beauty who killed the beast."-- King Kong

That really sums up the whole movie. Director Peter Jackson has personified King Kong and given it more humane emotions than it should have. Oh, Naomi Watts really put on a great show. Can't get my mind off her full-of-life eyes, they can talk!

Oh, I digress. What I wanna say is did beauty really kill the beast? Did King Kong really mind or care about Ann (Naomi's character in the movie) or was she just its toy? But that did not seem to be coz King Kong really enjoy Ann's company and she did make it laughed. Or maybe King Kong rescued Ann from the grasp/teeth of those 3 dinosaurs, and the affirnity/bond just grew?

Whatever it is, King Kong does not belong to this real world. So are Edward Scissorshand and Phantom of the Opera. Neither is the Bicentennial Man. So, why must all these ficticious figures be created? To earn our empathy or tears or our money?

And, what really irked me was it was Carl, that idiot, who brought King Kong to the real world, who had the final dialogue of the movie. Sucks, and he even got the cheeks to say that.

*Sigh*...I do not like being pulled into the trap of such emotions, and I realy DO NOT feel good at all :(. It's kinda complex and am not sure how to explain. Whatever it is, am gonna avoid all such movies in the future, if I can.

怎么说呢。。。演戏嘛,一切都是假的,但只要你动心、动情,那就表示你是真的。那一刻的真假难分,一瞬间就过去了。

但,我的难过却不是一瞬间......那份伤感隐隐约约,久久不愿散去......
