Ahh, racism in King Kong to do the 1930s proud.

I wondered how they would do this. Turns out they took the darkest people they could find and portrayed them as complete and utter bloodthirsty savages, devoid of anything other than evil.

I guess it is needed in the movies though, nobody would ever believe that white people could be bloodthirsty, sacrificing, savages.

1. I was wondering if Jackson would stick to the film's racism.

His excuse will probably be how he needed to stay true to the original film. Thanks for the heads up, I'll be skipping yet another one of his films.

2. If Skull Island is near Sumatra .....

how would the people be black?

3. Just saw it over Xmas

while doing family duty. Utterly racist and overly violent to boot.

4. I'll bet this poster doesn't think KK has racists overtones:

This was a comment by someone on the IMDB message board regarding the movie "White Chicks". Now I assume this person is white but don't know for sure.

Either the white guy was drunk, or blind, or Marlon is lying. He didnt look like a white chick at all, he looked more like a gorilla with pale make-up and a blond wig. He couldnt hide his big lips and enormous brow ridges.
