| 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. (79m)
