King of Kong
Dir. Seth Gordon US 2007
Billy Mitchell is God’s gift to classic video games. Hailed as the video game player of the century, the first and only person to record a perfect score in Pac-Man, he also set a record for Donkey Kong back in 1982. For almost a quarter century, and perhaps a billion quarters, that record has stood. Flash forward. Nice guy and perennial also-ran in life, Steve Wiebe (freshly layed off from Boeing) decides he needs to achieve something - anything - and thus his quixotic quest for Donkey Kong immortality begins. Scoring a nearly unprecedented 100% of the cream of the crop on Rottentomatoes.com, this film is not all ultimately about video games. It’s also an enthralling testament to our primal drive for recognition and self-definition, as well as a cautionary tale that even the tiniest sliver of sub-groups can be rife with factionalism.
