Are you sure that BD was derived from the same 4K scan as the 4K/UHD? Warner has been known to include Blu-rays that were previously released as Blu-rays with new 4K/UHD releases.

Please, can we stop the back and forth. You've made your points. Let's move on as we all agree that this movie will never have a reference disc like some other film titles because of the reasons stated in this thread numerous times. This is the best we'll see "Giant" on any home video format...

I’m sorry, but if you haven’t seen the Giant 4K/UHD then it’s end of story. Having an opinion is one thing, but I think having an informed opinion is more valuable to me.

The UK set came out a week earlier than here in the States. I think I imported it because it was cheaper than what that BD set was selling for here.

Okay, I just checked the Blu-ray release below that was released in the States on March, 2014. DVD Profiler is showing "No Region Coding".

That's my understanding too which is why I imported some Warner titles from the UK even though I'm region-free capable.

In 2013, I bought this James Dean Blu-ray set from the UK and East of Eden plays fine on my Oppo 203 without me having to change regions here in Michigan.

You can't import from Amazon in the States or Deep Discount? https://www.deepdiscount.com/east-of-eden/883929280377

Wasn't there a line in the film in which she said it took her a whole week to hook him.

Yes, we have to remember that Dean was only 24 years old when he filmed "Giant". He still had a lot to learn about his craft before his tragic young death.

I'll be interested in your comments about "Rebel Without a Cause". The movie hasn't aged well for me.

Make note of Jo Van Fleet’s performance in East of Eden.

His tragic death was a turning point in Paul Newman’s career.

Again, it’s not about the film nor its plot line. It’s about reality in today’s world as the movie made me think of uncomfortable things.

I never said it didn’t make me uncomfortable back in the 1960’s, when I first watched the movie. However, I’m even more uncomfortable today because I realized we still have so much more work to do in that area.

Of course the film is clearly anti-racism! However, that doesn’t mean the racism shown in the movie shouldn’t bother me because as a senior citizen person of color I don’t see as much progress in that area as I thought it would be when I first watched the movie more than 50 years ago. I had...

RAH @Robert Harris could correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the film always had those dissolves issues which means the movie audiences in 1956/1957, were exposed to the same issues we are seeing today with those film sequences.

I wouldn't say I'm upset except to say the racism in the movie bothers me more today than when I first watched the movie back in the 1960's, when I was a young teenager.

It's inherent to the original film elements used by George Stevens and how he filmed the movie. It's the best we'll ever see with this particular movie. If you watched the Blu-ray or seen the movie on DVD or TV, the 4K disc improvements would be much more recognizable to you.

HBO Max has finally upgraded that older HD scan to the current 4K/Dolby Vision digital!

That HBO Max stream is derived from the old scan used for the prior Blu-ray. This morning, I watched in it's entirety, my iTunes digital that upgraded from HD to 4K/Dolby Vision. It looks much better than the Blu-ray. My 4K disc has shipped from Amazon so I'll be watching this fine movie...
