giant (1956)

Instead of pre-existing ideas, then, we find in all the foregoing examples values emanating from the system. When they are said to correspond to concepts, it is understood that the concepts are purely differential and defined not by their positive content but negatively by their relations with the other terms of the system. Their most precise characteristic is in being what the others are not.

  1. James Dean is an absolute legend in this film! A wonderful performance! Ditto Rock Hudson........didn't like much of anything else they did.
