New Showbiz Analysis

The Giant employs a formalist approach, focusing on the technical aspects of video surveillance and found footage. This method strips away the traditional omniscient directorial perspective, placing the viewer in a voyeuristic position. However, the film lacks specific details about the characters and their backgrounds, making it difficult to assess identity-based power dynamics. The absence of such details means the film does not engage with progressive values or diversity.
