	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Giant (1956)
		Giant's reputation as James Dean's last film -- he died a few days after finishing his work on it -- is at least as large as its 202 minute running time.
		Giant is, essentially a soap western, chronicling the lives of a few characters in a slowly changing society over the course of 25 years.
		This is one of the earliest films to deal with racism in such depth.

	Sheb Wooley - Music Downloads - Online
		Amid all of his film work, Wooley continued recording and writing songs.
		He later recorded an album of folk-style material that was released in the wake of the MGM wide-screen epic blockbuster movie How the West Was Won, but this also failed to catch on with the public.
		His film work continued during this time, and it was because of movie and television commitments that he was unable to record the song "Don't Go Near the Indians." Instead, former movie cowboy/singer Rex Allen recorded it and had a hit with it.

	THE IRON GIANT
		Hogarth watches an old sci-fi/horror film on TV that (along with its suspenseful music) may be a bit scary for kids (especially when a disembodied brain begins crawling across the floor -- although it, like the rest of the film, is all animated).
		The sight of the Giant being shocked by an electrical substation and adjoining power lines (along with his "screams") may be unsettling to some kids as might the scene moments later when several towers fall and nearly hit Hogarth.
		The entire ending sequence where the Giant battles the Army men who have opened fire on him, as well as the thought and sight of a quickly approaching nuclear missile and finally a moment where Hogarth appears to be dead (he's not) may be suspenseful and/or frightening to some kids.

	Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure
		Called 15-perforation/70mm film, it is 10 times the size of the 35mm film used in conventional cinemas, which means that it captures and holds much more information than a 35mm film frame does.
		The film moves through the projector in a special "rolling loop" projection system that uses compressed air instead of mechanical sprockets to advance the film in a gentle waving or rolling action.
		The film is held firmly against the rear element of the projection lens by a vacuum.

		Shooting of the film started two weeks before the outbreak of the war in Iraq in March 2003.
		He was the only journalist permitted to film the destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas.
		However, "The Giant Buddhas" is not a film about terror, rather a film about transience, a film about the loss of cultural identity, about the search for truth, beauty and diversity.

	"Andre the Giant": Film Freak Central Interviews Documentarian Andrei Codrescu
		Film is almost the boundary destructor, you know--it's bigger than theoretical space, it's literal space.
		It ties in with your new film's exploration of the mythopoeia nursing the birth of Delta Blues.
		This is not to say that the bigger culture that the blues are a part of don't support feelings of alienation--of oddness in speaking a language you don't know and reforming your body and face to adapt to a new expression--is no longer there, but it's an underground culture.

		The film doesn't suffer hugely from their absence, but it would have been nice if some of them could have been included.
		This is especially true of "The Giant's Dream", which is imaginative and tonally very different from the rest of the movie.

		It was a rare giant squid, a creature that until then had eluded observation in the wild.
		For centuries giant squids, formally called Architeuthis, have been the stuff of legends, appearing in the myths of ancient Greece or attacking a submarine in Jules Verne's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea." But they had never been seen in their natural habitat, only caught in fishing nets or washed ashore dead or dying.
		Giant squid are the world's largest invertebrates, having been known to exceed 50 feet.

	DVD Review - The Iron Giant (Site not responding. Last check: )
		At the same time the film is highly reminiscent to classic B-horror and science fiction movies of the ‘50s like Jack Arnold’s "It Came From Outer Space" or "Forbidden Planet", which is incidentally featured on numerous occasions throughout the film in animated form.
		Due to these elements and the added layer of sophistication, the film is also highly entertaining for adults, which is essential for any family movie to be successful.
		Vin Diesel lent his voice to the gentle giant and although he is not actually saying very much in the film, the guttural noises he makes ultimately turn the robot into a thinking and emotional character that learns humanity.

	Moving Pictures Magazine: China: Film’s Sleeping Giant
		At the turn of the 20th century, German sinologist Wilhelm Grube called China a sleeping giant shackled by its Confucian past, destined to perish unless it was able to shake itself free.
		When film production resumed in the late 1970s, a culturally starved nation flocked to the cinema, and it was here that modern filmmaking in China began.
		While the film was criticized incessantly, there were enough elements to bring in the numbers: curiosity, famous faces, gift tickets from companies and, most importantly, a young generation that sees movies as a way of enjoying life.

		The film, with the working title The Magic Tale, tells the story of a girl’s fantastic travel to Africa, where she interacts with other children, wild animals, trees, and plants that show her the way to the world of imagination and to the meaning of life.
		The film is produced and directed by producer and journalist Jordi Llompart, who is collaborating with director of photography Tomás Pladevall, director of stereoscopic photography for giant screen films William Reeve, and visual effects and post-production director José María Aragonés.
		This film, though, widens its exhibition to other markets such as digital cinema, which is growing all over the world, and incorporates spectacular 3D as the main attraction factor against the competition of television, DVD and illegal downloading of movies.

	CultureDose.net - George Stevens - 1956 - Giant Movies Review
		Historically, Giant represents a genre from a bygone era that won't be duplicated and marks the last film of icon James Dean, who was killed a couple days after completing his scenes.
		Giant is a huge production, but remains forever transfixed to the fifties (like many other Stevens' projects) and can now be looked at as the inspiration for the television mini-series, with its cardboard characters chosen solely for symbolic purposes.
		Chronicling two generations of Texans beginning in the 1920's, the film clearly preaches for women's liberation and against racial discrimination, and all its major plot points are signaled well in advance to give “sophisticated” audiences an “I knew it” experience.

	Giant (1956)
		Based on a novel by Edna Ferber, Giant is an appropriately Texas-sized western/generational saga that parallels familial evolution with the changing socio-economic nature of the United States over an approximately 30-year period from the 1920s through the film's present, and by extension, a turn of the (20th) century mentality segueing into a more contemporary outlook.
		Unlike most sprawling films, the cast of characters in Giant actually turns out to be relatively small, we always have a clear idea of who each character is, and every event leads to the next in a very tightly-written, logical manner.
		Giant is extremely engaging in its soap-operatic family drama, but just as captivating for its subtle handling of important social themes.

	Hippy's Happy Film Reviews - The Iron Giant
		The film is rather slow moving, doesn't initially go anywhere, but it is a rather enjoyable piece of viewing.
		The giant, in a well executed finale, is seen to have survived his destruction, leaving everyone happy, but not without a small tear in the eye.
		It is not a film which is going to capture the hearts of everyone but it may just turn a few of the future generation into better people as they grow up.

	Giant
		Director George Steven's "Giant" (1956) is, well one heck of a giant film experience, full of lusty and intensely drawn characters that speak to the boisterous Texans that populated Edna Ferber's best selling novel.
		The film stars Elizabeth Taylor as Leslie Lynnton, a rather priggish -- if drop dead gorgeous -- young woman, whose pending marriage to Sir David Karfrey (Rod Taylor, in an early and fleeting on screen appearance) is thwarted by the sudden appearance of Jordon Benedict (Rock Hudson).
		Accidentally befriending Jordon's jealous rival, the impoverished Jett Rink (James Dean in his last role), Leslie is torn between Jett's lilting way with the Mexican natives that populate the ranch and whom she feels a kinship towards, and, Jordon's racist view of the Mexican's place as inferior to whites among society.

		But to protect the German film industry, laws were passed that required one German film to be produced and exported for every imported film.
		In fact, Goebbels was forced at various times to remind the German film community that he was the judge of what a “good” film was, and both he and Hitler found it necessary to ban some two dozen films in the 12 years of the Third Reich.
		West German film production came to be concentrated in Munich (Geiselgasteig), which had been a secondary player in film production before the war.
