		And the giant wouldn't be such a hit with the town's beatnik artist, Dean (voiced with mellow coolness by Harry Connick Jr.), if he didn't have such a sensitive knack for bending old wrecks into avant-garde sculpture.
		The movie's big question, whether the giant will turn into a hero or just a very elaborate gun, drives it to the edge of political correctness, but the message -- that we are who we choose to be -- is still a positive one for kids to hear and adults to affirm.
		But "Iron Giant's" open-endedness is a deliberate and integral part of the myth -- as one character observes, "Things happen that can't be rationalized." The point is that it doesn't matter where we come from or how strange we may seem, because there is beauty and purpose to all living things.

		By WILLIAM J. The lair of the giant squid is a staple of novels and horror movies, and perhaps of nightmares.
		But more than a century after the giant squid and its supposed habitat were featured in "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," the surprising truth is that very little is known of the deep monster and how it eats and rests, courts and mates, swims and behaves.
		It turns out that the giant squid feeds on certain types of deep fish now being harvested in great numbers and in turn is fed on by sperm whales, giants in their own right that dive down perhaps up to a mile to feast on the boneless leviathans.
