  • The Lesson of Kong- Don't Fool With Established Sacrificial Protocol

    Hmmmmm... someone with the name angryblackbitch is angry at something... I am not shocked.

    But I am a little curious if I'm the only person who remembers that the natives were going to sacrafice one of their own women to Kong until the movie crew showed up on their island.

    ...I'm not sure if it was the 1930s version or the 1970s, but I distinctly remember a young native girl dressed in bone and shell finery, getting snatched up by someone when Kong breaks through the wall.

    It was always my assumption that they were sacrificing women on a fairly regular basis, and Faye was a nice substitute for one of their own.

    As to Kong's behavior once he has the white woman, well, we have have no idea what he did with the native girls. Probably carried them around for a while until the other denizens of the island got them, or else he got tired of them. Could have eaten them, too, I guess.

    However, what I think can be safely assumed, is that none of the other sacrifices were as badly botched as this very last one- people with guns and whatnot chasing Kong in the jungle and trying to get the girl back.
