Brie Larson Stole The Show in Kong: Skull Island

Jordan Vogt-Roberts’ second film in the series moved away from the serious tone of the first Godzilla movie, instead taking viewers on a colorful adventure through a jungle full of monsters. However, beneath the exciting monster action is a story deeply connected to the pain and consequences of the Vietnam War. Set in 1973, the film features tired soldiers and clear visual nods to the war, using this backdrop to examine themes of obsession, sorrow, and the struggle to find purpose after fighting stops.
