The film’s first scene shows us an older Kong running through the lands he now occupies. This is to the song “Welcome to My World” by Elvis. It’s quite the opening scene.
The movie begins with a Robert Frost poem which sets the tone. Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate to say that for destruction ice Is also great.
We’re then in 1904, watching firemen race to a building where there is no fire… only ice.
Adventure Racing is a global sport. It’s definitely not something I would be up for, even if I were perfectly fit, but if you don’t mind extreme heights and mud, this could be for you. Learning about what these individuals do, together with their teammates, of course, was a bit daunting. It’s a task just watching them!
