Product Description
Product Description
Giant: Special Edition (Dbl DVD)
Set Contains:
The 2005 release of Giant is essentially the same as the 2003 release except that in comes in a keepcase rather than a digipack. The film is on a two-sided disc, and the bonus features are on a second disc. The transfer is strikingly beautiful, but the widescreen picture is not anamorphically enhanced due to its relatively modest 1.66 aspect ratio. (George Stevens Jr. mentions in the commentary track that his father liked a sense of height in his pictures and said that CinemaScope was only useful for the Last Supper.) The bonus features are as big as Texas. Most significant among various materials are three substantial (over 45 minutes each) documentaries: "George Stevens: The Filmmakers Who Knew Him," in which Warren Beatty, Frank Capra, and others reminisce about Stevens, and two making-of retrospectives, "Memories of Giant" and "Return to Giant," which have surprisingly little overlap considering they were made only two years apart, in 1996 and 1998. Especially poignant are the cast and crew's still-vivid reactions to James Dean's death in a car accident shortly after the completion of shooting. --David Horiuchi

I haven't seen Giant, since then, but a couple of times on Turner TV. But UT always looked... blah... fuzzy... cut horribly visually. As well, they cut the heck out of the film to put in the most commercials in a two hour time slot. It was depressing and frustrating.
.
Then, a couple of weeks ago, I saw this 4k Blu Ray of this incredible film. I HAD TO HAVE IT!!!
.
So, I bought it and paced and counted the minutes until it arrived. As soon as it was in my hand I put it in my 4K player... settled in with a drink and Pop corn and waited to see IF I would relive my original experience.
.
I DID! I have to tell you this 4K of Giant is INCREDIBLE!!!!! The cinematography is INTACT. The ENTIRE FILM IS HERE!!! I was awestruck and satisfied. I played it over again, the next day and I was still blown away.
.
If you love fine films... Elisabeth Taylor... Rock Hudson... and film making at its finest? BUY THIS FILM NOW!!!!!
.
Foot note. I AM from Texas... so I am a little biased... But that doesn't take away from the incredible experience watching Giant in 4K!!!

En efecto en muchas escenas se pude notar la gran mejoría de la imagen, pero en otras, la calidad si deja algo que desear, aunque el problema no es muy grave y no impide disfrutar enormemente este filme con el tema fundamental del racismo hacia los mexicanos, que en la versión que se exhibió en México en los 50's, todo este asunto fue censurado. Una película todavía muy actual. La recomiendo ampliamente.
Neben dem gesprochenen Wort spielt der Ueberfluss an Zeit eine tragende Rolle in diesem Meisterwerk (Laufzeit 196 Minuten). In gemaechlichem Tempo und in epischer Breite entfaltet sich vor dem Zuschauer die Geschichte einer Famile und die Geschichte des Staates Texas, wobei das eine mit dem anderen unentwirrbar verbunden ist. Die texanisch/amerikanische Geschichte wird selbstkritisch reflektiert, die Ungereimtheiten und Widersprueche werden sorgfaeltig und genau herausgearbeitet und hinterfragt, aber nie didaktisierend und lehrerhaft, sondern als packende Familiensaga und Kino vom Feinsten. Gerade wegen seiner kritischen Darstellung des Rassismus wurden der Film und seine Macher seinerzeit angefeindet.
Der Film hat eine Qualitaet und Atmosphaere, die einen bis zum Schluss gefangen halten. Das liegt einmal an der hervorragenden Regie von George Stevens, der fuer "Giganten" seinen zweiten Oscar bekam, es liegt aber vor allem an den drei Hauptdarstellern, die in ihren Rollen sowohl menschlich als auch schauspielerisch voll ueberzeugen. Auch Rock Hudson, dessen Schauspielerei ich sonst ehr etwas geschraubt und gekuenstelt finde, stellt den autoritaeren Rancherboss Bick Benedict wirklich ueberzeugend und mit viel Einfuehlungsvermoegen und Intelligenz dar. Ueberhaupt stimmt die Chemie zwischen ihm und Elizabeth Taylor, und dadurch gewinnt der Film enorm. Ich finde es einfach bewundernswert, wie ueberzeugend die beiden Stars ein alterndes Ehepaar darstellen, mit all seinen Sorgen und Hoffnungen und in Gedanken immer bei den Kindern. Beide waren damals erst in ihren Zwanzigern, aber mit grau gefaerbtem Haar, dickem Kissen unter dem Bauch (er!) und schauspielerischem Talent kriegten sie das hin. Der Dritte im Bunde ist James Dean, der in einem Konkurrenzverhaeltnis zu Rock Hudson stand, was ihn sicherlich mit zu seiner darstellerischen Leistung befluegelte. Seine Darstellung des verletzlichen Jett ist experimentierfreudig, trotzig und unnachahmlich und ergaenzt damit die konventionellere Spielweise der anderen.
