Contrary to popular media, there are a lot of folks out there who are remembering their dead. There are also people like me, who are saying "Thank You" to those who gave their lives so that MY Dad could come home and start a family in Peace. That B*tard is a TROLL who just joined this morning, BTW "E" Your Signature ... "....I do hope he won't upset Henry..."

Viewing Kong as a Christ figure is pretty standard literary criticism. Sokol's reference to "Punctured Pilot" is sacreligious and disrespectful, but considering that this is a forum where we routinely discuss human bodies reanimated by Egyptian magic or undead fiends subsisting on human blood, I'm not quite understanding the rage. That said, can a mod move this to the Kong forum? Or is that not in keeping with this group's corporate culture or technical setup?

May 26 12 6:59 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Well, I certainly find nothing offensive. Certainly using the Christ Mythos as a conscious (or even subconscious) template for the hero's journey has been done and redone over and over again. One could even say the story of Jesus was borrowed from more ancient texts. You can look at almost any tragedy and apply similar parallels. The biggest sin here is that IT'S NOT IN THE KONG SECTION!!!

May 26 12 7:24 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	The only thing offensive about this article is how hard the author tries to make KING KONG seem so much deeper than it is. I mean, come on, Skull Island is "paradise"? It's certainly comical, but nothing to be taken so seriously. Besides, Christ comparsions and biblical references have been made in scores of genre films. I'm sure you can name them!
