Great movie, horrendous digital transfer to Blu-ray

Great movie, horrendous digital transfer to Blu-ray
(Updated with uploaded screen shot images of this horrendous digital transfer. These screen shots illustrate the weird blue glow and the complete lack of contrast.)Great movie.The digital transfer to Blu-ray is horrendous. At best the picture is almost as bad as a VHS tape.People and horses have an odd blue glow during the round-up scene at the beginning of the movie, and at other times during the movie. Other outdoor scenes suffer from a terrible lack of contrast & sharpness.It is almost criminal to distribute such a horrendously bad digital transfer given Giant's stellar cast and original production.Pass on this Blu-ray. Stream the movie if you must until an effort is made on a decent digital transfer.

I miss the old 'Stars' of Hollywood... and 'Giant' has them in this film- Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean, Rock Hudson...!! It doesn't get any better and the story line is wonderful- dealing with women's rights, racial prejudice, that money doesn't always bring happiness, etc. Such a great story, filmed beautifully and I just wish that movies today were of such quality ! [They aren't !]...

I saw this movie, originally, in the theater ages ago. I was taken by everything; the plot, the acting, the cinematography, the settings, the A List actors, the brilliant directing... EVERYTHING!!
.
I haven't seen Giant, since then, but a couple of times on Turner TV. But UT always looked... blah... fuzzy... cut horribly visually. As well, they cut the heck out of the film to put in the most commercials in a two hour time slot. It was depressing and frustrating.
.
Then, a couple of weeks ago, I saw this 4k Blu Ray of this incredible film. I HAD TO HAVE IT!!!
.
So, I bought it and paced and counted the minutes until it arrived. As soon as it was in my hand I put it in my 4K player... settled in with a drink and Pop corn and waited to see IF I would relive my original experience.
.
I DID! I have to tell you this 4K of Giant is INCREDIBLE!!!!! The cinematography is INTACT. The ENTIRE FILM IS HERE!!! I was awestruck and satisfied. I played it over again, the next day and I was still blown away.
.
If you love fine films... Elisabeth Taylor... Rock Hudson... and film making at its finest? BUY THIS FILM NOW!!!!!
.
Foot note. I AM from Texas... so I am a little biased... But that doesn't take away from the incredible experience watching Giant in 4K!!!

La tengo en todas las versiones que han salido Blu ray, DVD) pero esta versión está en 4K y supuestamente restaurada,
En efecto en muchas escenas se pude notar la gran mejoría de la imagen, pero en otras, la calidad si deja algo que desear, aunque el problema no es muy grave y no impide disfrutar enormemente este filme con el tema fundamental del racismo hacia los mexicanos, que en la versión que se exhibió en México en los 50's, todo este asunto fue censurado. Una película todavía muy actual. La recomiendo ampliamente.

"Doctor, that sure is a beautiful animal", diesen Satz sagt Rock Hudson alias Bick Benedict ganz am Anfang, als er die schoene Leslie Lynnton auf dem Ruecken des Rassehengstes "Westwind" sieht, und der Zuschauer weiss nicht, ob er die Frau oder das Pferd meint. In diesem Hollywoodklassiker spielt noch das gesprochene Wort eine tragende Rolle, und damit hebt er sich wohltuend von so manchem Machwerk juengeren Datums ab. Es gibt viele kluge Dialoge voller Ironie, gerade am Anfang des Films, und es lohnt sich genau hinzuhoeren.

Neben dem gesprochenen Wort spielt der Ueberfluss an Zeit eine tragende Rolle in diesem Meisterwerk (Laufzeit 196 Minuten). In gemaechlichem Tempo und in epischer Breite entfaltet sich vor dem Zuschauer die Geschichte einer Famile und die Geschichte des Staates Texas, wobei das eine mit dem anderen unentwirrbar verbunden ist. Die texanisch/amerikanische Geschichte wird selbstkritisch reflektiert, die Ungereimtheiten und Widersprueche werden sorgfaeltig und genau herausgearbeitet und hinterfragt, aber nie didaktisierend und lehrerhaft, sondern als packende Familiensaga und Kino vom Feinsten. Gerade wegen seiner kritischen Darstellung des Rassismus wurden der Film und seine Macher seinerzeit angefeindet.

Der Film hat eine Qualitaet und Atmosphaere, die einen bis zum Schluss gefangen halten. Das liegt einmal an der hervorragenden Regie von George Stevens, der fuer "Giganten" seinen zweiten Oscar bekam, es liegt aber vor allem an den drei Hauptdarstellern, die in ihren Rollen sowohl menschlich als auch schauspielerisch voll ueberzeugen. Auch Rock Hudson, dessen Schauspielerei ich sonst ehr etwas geschraubt und gekuenstelt finde, stellt den autoritaeren Rancherboss Bick Benedict wirklich ueberzeugend und mit viel Einfuehlungsvermoegen und Intelligenz dar. Ueberhaupt stimmt die Chemie zwischen ihm und Elizabeth Taylor, und dadurch gewinnt der Film enorm. Ich finde es einfach bewundernswert, wie ueberzeugend die beiden Stars ein alterndes Ehepaar darstellen, mit all seinen Sorgen und Hoffnungen und in Gedanken immer bei den Kindern. Beide waren damals erst in ihren Zwanzigern, aber mit grau gefaerbtem Haar, dickem Kissen unter dem Bauch (er!) und schauspielerischem Talent kriegten sie das hin. Der Dritte im Bunde ist James Dean, der in einem Konkurrenzverhaeltnis zu Rock Hudson stand, was ihn sicherlich mit zu seiner darstellerischen Leistung befluegelte. Seine Darstellung des verletzlichen Jett ist experimentierfreudig, trotzig und unnachahmlich und ergaenzt damit die konventionellere Spielweise der anderen.
