King Kong Big Gorrilla For Female Hysteria
I would be willing to bet that there are a lot more classics that feature female hysteria then current films. Maybe it's the change in popular thought, but many of the original Hollywood hits featured the screaming damsel in distress and the popular hero who saves the day. I guess it should be no suprise to me then that Peter Jackson's remake of the classic King Kong would follow the same formula.
The problem with Jackson's remake though was that it was so long that the screaming really got old after a while. In the end there was only so much that I could take before the effect lost it's impact. A much more subtle approach to female hysteria would have been a much better route. In the end, the screaming had all bark and no bite for me.
