I've seen them all, going back to a box set on laserdisc and beyond. Giant never has looked good on home video, I hope there was some cleanup done for the blu-ray. It's a big, sprawling soap opera with Dean playing a secondary but important role--the leads are Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor. It's known primarily as a James Dean movie because it was his last performance. I remember seeing Rebel Without A Cause on 16mm in grade school. It passed over the heads of the gathered eighth graders. And East of Eden has some memorable widescreen photography.Ronald Epstein said:I hate to admit, I have never seen a James Dean film. He never really appealed to me. Have all these films on DVD, but remarkably, I never opened a single one over the years. I am wondering which films are worth buying (GIANT obviously), and if there will be a worth in purchasing the entire UCE.Will have to wait for a price announcement.
I will be very curious to see what it looks like - Giant is almost one long optical - there are so many endless opticals in this film, maybe more than any other ever made in terms of length of dissolves on the A & B side.Bob Furmanek said:The Warnercolor opticals are especially problematic on GIANT, even worse than DIAL M.
