The 2017 AD movie Kong: Skull Island was directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts and stars Tom Hiddleston as James Conrad, Brie Larson as Mason Weaver, Samuel L. Jackson as Preston Packard, John C. Reilly as Hank Marlow, et al.
The movie is saturated with symbolism, straight out open conspiracy theorizing and subtexts. I was hoping to find the script so that I could quote from it but I will have to loosely paraphrase from metal notes.
