King Kong (1933)

This older version of the movie is released in 1933 which is 72 years before the newer version.

Oh no, it wasn't the airplanes. It was beauty killed the beast.

is the last dialogue of this classic version of King Kong. And this dialogue alone describes the whole wisdom of this movie and the reason why this movie is one of the greatest movies ever made. Here BEAST becomes the metaphor for senses and BEAUTY refers to the sense objects. So this classic version is built on the very basic moral fundamental that even if a king craves for sensual objects outside the realm of rationalism, he is subject to destruction in no time. Just a few days before, I saw the newer version of King Kong and it gave me a mild impression "Wow nice graphics" and nothing else. In the newer version the protagonists become friends of the King Kong which is so unrealistic, considering the highly insecure nature of the present day people. After watching this newer version I was so reluctant to see the classic version thinking that it would be same bullshit. But the classic version escaped all these silly hypocrisies and went onto destroy the beast mercilessly and hence entered the list of beautiful classics...
