Only if the story were as compelling as Heavenly Creatures

Peter Jackson is probably best known as the director of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, but he directed number of other films including Heavenly Creatures which he directed back in 1994. Seeing The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, you may expect big SCI-FI action films from Peter Jackson, but Heavenly Creatures is very much a film driven by its storyline and acting. If you watch The Lord of the Rings Trilogy before you watch Heavenly Creatures, Heavenly Creatures probably looks a bit unexpected. Heavenly Creatures is essentially a love story, though the relationship portrayed in the film is rather strange. It is a rather dark relationship, and the relationship leads to a murder in the end. The story is based on a true story, and it is one of the most interesting romance films made in the last decade. Forward 10 years; Peter Jackson directed King Kong. A part of the story in King Kong is a love story, BUT you do not see much effort the director put, nor do you see much depth in the story. The story is actually pretty flat, and you also realize that not a whole lot of effort was made to create a good dialogue. You'd wish if the story in King Kong were as compelling as Heavenly Creatures.
