One thing that comes up as a America's symbol is King Kong. This movie series have played several times before and I could often see it on TV in Korea. And the memory about King Kong is still the strongest because I was little when I saw the movie first. The best scene that I impressed was to be King Kong on the Empire State Building. It was really fresh watching King Kong on the highest building in the world. Moreover, the movie expressed real love between the King Kong and a woman and when King Kong was killed, I cried too much. T.T
That is why King Kong is America's symbol to me. ;)
