题目内容
13.When Merriam Cooper was a boy,he loved reading novels like Lost in the Jungle and Wild Life Under the Equator,both of which were written by Paul Du Chailu.Set in Africa,they told exciting tales of imaginary native tribes battling hippopotamuses(河马)and man-eating tigers.Years later,Cooper joined the U.S.Military and flew bombing tasks during the First World War.After the war ended,he met Ernest B.Schoedsack,an expert with movie cameras,they decided to begin making movies that could capture the danger and delight of exploring strange lands,living with native tribes and dealing with unfriendly creatures.After making three movies,Grass,Chang and The Four Feathers,the partners came up with the idea of making one about a giant gorilla.Originally,they wanted to use a real gorilla in the movie.That turned out to be too expensive,however,so they instead used a model of a gorilla and a new technique called stop-motion photography to bring the creature to life.The resulting movie was King Kong.
In 1976,Kong's unfortunate story was retold with a man in a suit with makeup and a robot.When director Peter Jackson got his hands on Kong in 2005,Kong was portrayed(演出)by an actor and special effects.
While the"major"King Kong movies tell a similar story,Kong has been portrayed in many different ways over the years.In one of the sillier movies,King Kong Escapes (1967),he fights a mechanical copy of himself.King Kong lives (1986)takes a strangers turn with Kong surviving his famous falling down and falling for Lady Kong.
