Giant – REVIEW

The film ‘Giant’ chronicles the journey of a young man who rises from humble beginnings as the son of Yemeni shopkeepers in Sheffield to become a boxing champion. However, the story is primarily told through the perspective of his trainer, Brendan Ingle (played by Pierce Brosnan), a local gym owner who mentored him from age seven. Ingle acts as a father figure, especially given the boy’s absent biological father. Written and directed by Rowan Athale, the film explores the racism the young boxer experiences and how Ingle helps him transform that negativity into fuel for success in the ring.
