A few months ago I watched the 1956 movie 'Giant'. I expected it to be a wholesome movie full of lovely manners, 'proper behaviour' and great clothes.
I was really surprised when I found the movie was ahead of it's time in terms of the boundaries it pushed.
The movie dealt with class struggle, racism and my favourite, interracial marriage.
Since I wasn't born in that time, I wondered what the public thought of such a progressive movie and the issues it covered.
Have you seen'Giant'? Perhaps you should use an afternoon during Christmas vacation to watch it?
