On the contrary, King Kong is a truly great iconic movie with a set of fascinating psychological and social themes embedded in it. There is the obvious "beauty and the beast" theme (a subtile warning). If you look at some of the key scenes in the movie (the attempted negotiation for Fay Wray, the invasion of New York City and the destruction of the elevated train and of course the ever present theme of rape) you'll see that, at least on the unconscious level, the creators of the film were grappling with racial issues. Cinematic art can do that - it uses symbolic and associational material to reflect underlying concerns. This is not a case of "overanalyzing" a movie - to the person who watches King Kong with an open and thoughtful mind, you will see all these themes presented.
Geeze. Does he think “Caine Mutiny” is about the Navy, too?
Sigh.
