Many men truly think that women are overly sensitive about sexism and that we are making a big deal out of nothing. Most men would completely overlook that last line in the film and think nothing of it (or agree with it) because it perpetuates the same old male dominated thinking: it's the woman's fault. So we women have to point it out and show them that this is why we are sensitive about sexism. It exists and films keep teaching it to the next generations.

I don't know about all other women out there, but I do know that me and my women friends have had enough of this type of "entertainment" that lacks consciousness. I asked some men in my life about that ending phrase and they tried to come up with various explanations to justify it - like Kong kept going after the beauty so it did him in - all to no avail. Because we know what it really says. A short one-liner with a big message. The only male who got it was one of my sons, because he has a huge heart and is honest.

I think it's horrific that today that Hollywood continues be less than honest in many films. Yes, it's a fantasy business, I know, but it should still be honest and responsible. Beauty didn't kill the beast. The producer killed the beast by taking him out of his natural habitat to exploit him AND the woman (who didn't want Kong removed from his home). Can you imagine ending the film with Denham, the producer, having a shift in his own consciousness and smacking himself on the forehead with the realization that it was all HIS fault? He lied to everybody in the film. He used people. He put thousands of people in danger and many people died for his greed. He didn't pay attention to all the messages warning him of what would happen if he followed through with his plan (all shown in quick flashbacks, of course). Greed and fame, his ego, is what did him in. Now if he would admit all of these things, that would have me singing on every podium about the film's integrity and the new maturity in Hollywood. Until such a time as then, I (and other women) will continue to speak out against sexism and lack of integrity wherever we find it.
