giant be one of the most boring and overly long hollywood contraption ever . many scene seem utterly fake and without energy . rock hudson and elizabeth taylor and and james dean be waste in this big hollywood production . a central notion to this movie and that a rancher would ever resist drilling for oil on his land and be absurd and and i know this because i be from houston . a couple of scene and especially dean serve taylor coffee and redeem this otherwise boring film . for a much more accurate and interesting depiction about how modernism change the ranch in texas and see hud ( one of paul newman great performance ) or the last picture show .
