"Currently, King Kong's character is considered one of the most magnificent stars of cinema, and this is an idea from Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack's movie. Despite problematic issues (including sexist, racial, and casual instances), 'King Kong' is a technical marvel in its time, a combination of technical innovations and stop motion animations, portraying the illusion of a small human coexisting with a giant prehistoric gorilla. It is a classic reference to the fantastic monster movies ('Dracula', 'Frankenstein' and other Universal Pictures productions) that includes these icons that follow these citations, parodies, and imitations of today."
