So why is King Kong burning?

On Sunday I saw Kong: Skull Island, a very well executed action thriller.

All the pieces are in the right places.

From the thrilling CGI fight scenes, to the soundtrack, to the random Chinese actress

for the Asian markets, to an uncharacteristically well deployed Samuel L. Jackson, it all works.

Most importantly it's got a functional script.

But something bugged me.

This movie uses the US war in Vietnam in a new way.

When movies about Vietnam started coming out in the 1970's they were always deeply respectful

dramas.

For a little while there, making a Vietnam movie was as good a ticket to the best picture

Oscar as the Holocaust is.

2008's Tropic Thunder isn't really an exception.

It's a comedy about a bunch of out of touch hollywood types trying to get Oscars by making

a Vietnam movie.

It nicely skewers the way war is turned into prestige entertainment.

It makes a point.

Kong isn't making a point.

It's just having fun.

It deploys some of the era's most beloved protest songs for battles with a giant monkey.

The disillusioned soldiers we know from Platoon and Full Metal Jacket, are cannon fodder for

our amusement.

I enjoyed the film, but I couldn't help but wonder: Do baby boomers think this was

in poor taste?

How do my parents and aunts and uncles feel about this use of the great national trauma

of their youth?

How would a Vietnam veteran see this movie?

Aren't I clever for pointing this out?

Actually no.

Not at all.

And I only figured this out because King Kong is burning.

In Vietnam.

With the MFF I try very hard to see outside of the US perspective.

It's not that I'm not patriotic, it's just that I believe that protecting the United

States requires understanding the concerns of other people.

And I've just spent two minutes obsessing about how the United States feels about its

war in Vietnam.

The war in Vietnam killed 58,209 US soldiers.

It killed well over 1,000,000 men women and children in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.

And I'm worried about how US Baby Boomers feel about Kong: Skull Island?

Last Week the movie's promoters staged a big premiere in Vietnam.

The marketing strategy included a Chinese actress, and a 16 foot monkey.

China invaded Vietnam after we left by the way, and remains the largest threat to the country.

The monkey burned down.

I don't know if it was arson or not.

But it was certainly poetry.

I'm not saying you shouldn't see the movie.

It is a lot of fun.

But we should all think harder about history and how we use it.

That's what a burning King Kong taught me.

"I thought this could never happen to me" Real identity theft victims, Adam's story – F-Secure TOTAL - Duration: 2:38.

Your information is being stolen out there.

Somebody has access to your name, your numbers, which is scary, -

because at that point, you become helpless.

A couple of years ago, while traveling in Europe, -

two of my credit cards were compromised and maxed out.

To complicate things, once I came back to the USA, -

I saw that there was an additional account created -

and even more problems and fraudulent activity on my account.

It developed into deep sadness and grief, depression.

Knowing that some person out there, who is faceless, stole my information -

and took away all of my money that I worked hard for on a daily basis.

When I was using public WiFi, I didn't think about having my information compromised.

I'd heard stories in the news, but I said: "This will never happen to me."

I thought this was an experience that only happens once in a while by chance, -

and there's no way it can happen to me.

If I had this person sitting in front of me, I would sit down with them and...

Yes, I would be angry, -

but I would approach them directly and ask: "How would you feel if it happened to you?"

"You did it with a couple of minutes of thoughtless action, -

and you've ruined not only one person's life, but potentially the whole family."

It made me a much more vigilant person, -

but it's also created paranoia over how I actually -

continue acting in the future with my personal information and where I put it.

I've learned that it's a long-term process, -

and steps should always be taken prior to this happening.

I never feel that I still have 100% control over -

what's happening to my identity out there.

Because I still think of it potentially happening to me all over again.

It's an endless nightmare that's always going to be in the back of my mind.

"$10,000 wiped from my account." Real identity theft victims, Alicia's story – F-Secure TOTAL - Duration: 2:27.

Modern technology can make our lives so easy.

It's so great and speeds everything up.

But at the same time, you're worrying constantly.

I had just gone through an atrocious divorce.

It was the day before Christmas Eve.

I had been doing all kinds of online shopping.

I was standing in the middle of the biggest toy store in New York City.

It was finally my turn, and when I handed over my card, -

she said: "It's declined."

I knew it had to be a mistake.

I stood there completely dumbfounded.

Close to $10,000 was wiped out of my account.

It was just me, my three kids, and no money.

I left the store in tears.

It was just the most horrible, miserable day of my life.

To feel powerless and violated, -

that somebody got my information.

And not knowing if they have even more information about me.

It was a really scary thing.

The fear just comes over you, -

and there's no logic within it anymore, because you're so worried.

It's the scariest thing.

To be a single mom, and you don't have what's rightfully yours.

It's just gone.

We're at fault, because we're not thinking about it.

We just want the convenience. Everything is so fast, -

and we're constantly checking, researching and shopping wherever we are.

We're not thinking about those risks.

It literally could happen to me today.

Or tomorrow, or the next day. Or it could happen to you.

Everybody's being hacked.

I'm not special, and I'm probably much easier to hack.

Because they don't know about these protections. I'm just a regular person.

I just hope this doesn't happen again.

I don't want to go through this again. It was really hard.

"I couldn't even breathe." Real identity theft victims, Michelle's story – F-Secure TOTAL - Duration: 2:39.

It doesn't matter who I am. As far as they're concerned, -

there's a block and there's nothing I can do.

My identity was stolen, and it's still ongoing right now.

I still don't know if this is going to be fixed or rectified, -

but they're using my information to pretend they're me.

And that's scary, you know.

It's not something I want ever to happen again.

That's what they do when they steal your identity.

Not knowing is the worst part for me.

It's a really horrible way to live.

It's just not living at all. It's not living.

I was notified in July.

I had received a letter just saying that there was something wrong.

First, I was in shock. I said: "This can't be right."

"I didn't do this, this has got to be a mistake."

I couldn't even breathe, I was so...

Angry, anxious and upset. It's not even the word, you know.

People don't realize, they're stealing your stuff and...

They don't realize what they're doing to you.

They don't realize that they're ruining your life.

I spent my whole life building, so that I would be secure.

And I don't have that anymore.

I don't have that security anymore. It's terrible.

It's a horrible feeling.

You feel like somebody just sucked the life out of you.

Everything you've worked for is just crap now.

And there's nothing you can do until it's fixed.

There's got to be a way to prevent them from doing this.

It doesn't matter who you are. Rich, poor, white, black.

If you have a computer or a cell phone and you're putting out information, -

you can get your identity stolen. It can happen to anybody.

That's the sad thing. People don't think it's going to happen to them.

If it happened to me, it can happen to anybody.
