How do you write an empathetic film monster? RAY MORTON, writer and film historian, visits Mindspace to talk about "other" beings, from King Kong to aliens. Morton, a veteran script consultant and screenwriting guide, dissects how various iterations of Kong (including the recent Godzilla vs. King Kong) have engaged audiences' emotions, and how writers have continuously innovated Kong's character to probe new questions of sympathy, connection, and "humanity."
