Every now and then when I am looking up KING KONG I stumble across this comment and I always want to comment back but I just don't, but this time I just decided to write a reply. Please understand that I am not in any way trying to be condescending to you or am I trying to make fun of your comment.
That being said, I am curious how old you are and I wonder if you are from America. The reason I wonder this is because you clearly have no concept of how to watch a movie. The reason you do not see Jessica Lange walk to the elevator and take the elevator down to the ground level and walk out of the building and then make her way through the crowd and then stand next to KONG is because it would have taken too long. Lots of times movies make cuts because if movies were shot in "real time" and we saw EVERYTHING, movies would all be seventeen hours long and nobody wants to see a seventeen hour movie.
I will give you another example. In that famous scene in "ROCKY" you see Rocky on top of the steps dancing around with his arms up with the song "Gonna Fly Now" playing loudly. The very next shot is a magazine tacked to the wall of Rocky's apartment and the camera moves down and we see Rocky in bed. I am guessing if you saw the movie you would be wondering how Rocky got off the museum steps so fast and got home and got into bed. We did not have to see Rocky walk off the steps and go home and have dinner and take off his sweatsuit and get into bed, he's just there in the shot and people that understand how to watch movies just accept this and they are not confused.
I hope this made it more clear for you.
