In 1933, Merian C. Cooper, Ernest Schoedsack, and Willis OBrien created more than movie magic. King Kong is a pop-cultural icon and a central part of American mythology. But more than just another Beauty and the Beast tale, Kong Unbound also allows us to examine such themes as: * The Great Depression and Americas place in the world * Kong as Avatar of Repressed Sexual Energy * Kong as a Symbol of Slavery and Racism * Kong as Alternate Paleontology * The Triumph of Technology over the Natural WorldThese themes and more are explored in this wonderful collection of insightful essays by:Ray HarryhausenRay BradburyKaren HaberRichard A.
