The beauty, or horror, of Freudian stereotypes and
Jungian archetypes, such
as Kong as "hero" or Anne Darrow as "heroine", is that
they can be applied
EVERYWHERE. For example, Freudian kong is really a
homosexual monkey who
kidnaps Anne, representative of his id as well as the
object of destruction
(she's a woman) who seeks the highest, phallic
structure in the sit to mount
while heroic fighter pilots seek to save her. Do we
wish to go further (and I
swear,l search hard enough, and every movie, book,
etc., can become a Freudian
or Jungian game), or just watch a movie, in which the
beginning, while it has
natives and the jungle on a "lost" island, can
represent something Jungian, the
rest of the movie doesn't?
I like what was said before, it's just a movie about
a big monkey ... err,
ape ... maybe it's a gorilla? Oh, and there's dinosaurs!

"Innocent, unbiased observation is a myth." --- P.B.
Medawar (1969)>>
I absolutely HATE to open up this can of worms,
but....you guys started it!!!
Sigmund Freud (like Mohammed and Joseph Smith before
him did) basically invented a new religion out of whole
cloth (its been proved that he FAKED his 'study data')
for the simple reason that he personally wanted to be
able to have sex with as many women as he could,
without any social opprobrium.
I know this sounds like an oversimplification, but that
is precisely what it boils down to. He was a complete
fraud and an enemy of civilization in a philosophical,
as well as a very real sense.
The religions invented by Mohammed and Joseph Smith
also owed their creation to their creators' sexual
desires, which likewise ran against the established
orthodoxy.
Remember now, YOU GUYS WENT OFF-TOPIC, NOT ME!!!!!!
P.S. Who the H*LL is P.B. Medawar????????????
P.P.S. I agree with the quote.
