Adolf Hitler himself was a man of the arts BEFORE going into politics. He tried to become an artist but was rejected by art schools around his home, so he turned to politics. (Nice going art schools who I will leave unnamed).

[@PinkieLopBun]

My history teacher said that he got injured in World War I and it permanently messed with his ability to draw.

[@Heavenlyhounds96]

PinkiePie97 Still, I googled Adolf Hitler paintings, (even looked at Wikipedia a little), and his paintings don't look bad.

[@PinkieLopBun]

So did I, and I agree with you, but he could've made them before the war.

[@Heavenlyhounds96]

PinkiePie97 Indeed. But if he was accepted in the art school, he could've learned how to improve his artwork even with that wound.

[@MetaKnuxXbeats]

King Kong tragically died during the fire on 6/1/2008. Fortunately, with the help of Peter Jackson, they were able to resurrect Kong with CGI and make him even more awesome!

Well animated movies were a completely new trend like how transportations like steam trains, steamboats, steam airships, and even electric trains were in the Victorian Era, a.k.a Industrial Revolution a.k.a Modern Transportation Era.

Fay Wray: I love her and her Aria of the Agonies (What she called her screams)! And yes she did ask if she was going to meet Gary Cooper! She also had some part in the 2005 remake. She approved of Naomi Watts as Ann, and planned to appear in the movie to deliver the iconic final line of the movie. Sadly, she died before she could do so.

[@m.syauqiabdurahman2798]

No . The Original Footage Of 1933 King Kong Deleted Scene "Spider Pit" Are Considered Destoryed A Long Time Ago . There Is A Memo For The Producer , Explain The Reason Why It's Deleted Because 2 Reason - RKO People And Test Audience Are Traumatized With This Scene - Phasing Reason The Reason Why We Know About The "Spider Pit" Scene Was Because A 1977 Magazine Show The Film Still Of The Scene . Nowadays The Peter Jackson Recreation Of The Scene Was Probably The Closest One To The 1933 Version .

Cooper at first was going to have Kong climbing up The Chrystler Building or Woolworth because Empire didn't exsist yet. When it was completed though, he got the idea of Kong climbing up Empire State, it was said by Peter Jackson in the documentary Kong's New York 1933.

[@vanillabeam5400]

Your wrong he chose the Empire State Building was chosen because while filming it was the tallest building at the time and more popular at the time, and the spider pit was cut because it dragged the story, and it was a low angle shot of Kong falling off the Empire State Building, Toho didn't just step in it was a producer went behind o'briens back and gave the idea to Toho, It's pronounced Guller-min and Darr-ow, and you didn't even mention the huge legal battle between Paramount, Universal, RKO, and the Coopers that's a huge part of Kong history and you don't mention it that's stupid!

[@DiegoDiaz-rs4ej]

I actually saw the 1933 and 1976 versions of the King Kong Movie. I say the 1933 version is much better. Not only are the characters more believable, but that was the movie that actually had dinosaurs. All the 1976 movie had was a giant snake for King Kong to fight, and that was a major disappointment. Really, the only part of the 1976 movie that I like is hearing voice actor Peter Cullen perform as King Kong. As for the 2005 movie, when I saw it was THREE HOURS LONG, I decided that was way too much time, so I just settled for watching ten clips. Even after that, I still say I like the 1933 movie better. Now, when it comes to Willis O'Brien, I will have to say I prefer The Lost World over King Kong specifically because it stars dinosaurs, and only dinosaurs.

[@Britton_Thompson]

You shouldn't be so surprised that Adolf Hitler loved King Kong. In actuality, he was something of a cinephile who had his own private theater built in his Bavarian mountain estate, Bechtesgaden. He spent a lot of time watching movies with Eva Braun, Joseph Goebbels, and Albert Speer. You don't hear about these things as much because there's long been a consensus among historians to not humanize Hitler in the years following WW2. Moreover, there's always been an undercurrent within historical scholarship itself to only provide these little anecdotes of relatable human frailties to the larger than life "heroes" of history; such as George Washington, Frederick the Great, Abraham Lincoln, or Mohandas Ghandi. Whereas the "villains" of history; such as Hitler, Caligula, Napoleon, or Idi Amin will only ever have their more bizarre and perverse quirks recounted and expounded upon. Most people don't know that Hitler loved movies, or that Josef Stalin was actually a great singer who loved to spend hours at his private dacha estates singing over opera records and planting trees in his expansive gardens. But almost everyone can tell you that Winston Churchill had a penchant for brandy, cigars, and being a nudist when he wasn't on the clock. That's just the reality of things it seems.

[@PinkieLopBun]
