A Closer Look At The Story Of King Kong (Video)
March 21, 2017
Talk about knowing what you are getting into. The folks behind the latest King Kong movie declare they are doing their adaptation in a way different way than the way the story has been brought to screen historically… the way this docu-short makes clear. The math on the story of King Kong to date, King Kong’s Story = The Tragic History Of The Slave Trade.
Megaton mic drop.
Careful watching this one in [culturally] mixed company. True, the revelations in this expose clip won’t be so much so to Black people contentwise. Rather, we’re more surprised that someone actually ‘said it aloud for everyone to hear.’ But for any who end up screen-gazing in wide-mouthed astonishment – that someone could draw such distinct parallels between the Kong story and the history of the African slave trade – is it really THAT hard to make the connection?

But hell, the trailers for the latest “Kong” movie are bathed in Kong imagery (‘Bathing Ape’… get it?). Click play and get one more dose of super-sized azz-kickery in the teaser above before the film’s theatrical release on March 10, 2017.
