When I saw this in theaters, even though I knew Kong was going to die, you couldn't help but feel a strange sense of foreshadowing. Even if you had never heard of Kong before, there was a sense of doom from the start. This video captures that perfectly. Now if only someone would attach this music to scenes of the 1933 original...

Great insight, thanks for the comment! I wish this part of James Newton Howard's score had been used for the Empire State Building scene. I felt this piece captured the tragedy better than what was used in the final film. It's a minor nitpick to an otherwise powerful remake. And I've had more than one person tell me that this video made them cry more than the theatrical version. I know I'm one of them! :)

I know. It's almost as if we think it might end differently each time we watch. That's the mark of a well-told tragedy.

Ok, IDC what you guys say about this comment. The beast broke loose from captivity. The humans have only 1 choice, and that is to kill the beast terrorizing their city. But the humans don't know he's only looking for a girl. What would YOU do in that situation? Hope your beauty calms Kong down? No. Kong is a victim to Carl's greedyness and ability to not care about ANYTHING. The enemy is 1 man who got in over his head for money. The humans aren't evil. Kong has no idea what to do. So, he dies.
