Review of Giant (1956) by Fabio M — 26 Jan 2009
Giant is indeed epic, in it's length at two hundred minutes and it's grandeur in telling the story of three generations of Texas cattle ranchers. The story of Big "Bick" Benedict and his fiery wife Leslie Lynnton is just the lead in to surprisingly poignant tale of racial tolerance, women's lib and ambition gone away.
Rock Hudson was great in this movie as well, but the stellar performances really belong to Taylor and Dean who made their characters come alive - Leslie with her compassion and intelligence, and Jett Rink with his big dreams, and incredible ignorance.
