In a interview Keith david said that in the movie they live the fight scene took inspiration from this scene so awesome how cinema takes inspiration from cinema
My favorite movie. Barry Fitzgerald is gold. So many great quotes in this movie. "So the I.R.A.'s in this too?" "Not a scorched stone of your fine house would be standing." Love "In Harm's Way" too.
Porque Deus amou o Mundo de tal maneira que deu o seu Filho unigênito, para que todo aquele que nele crê não pereça, mas tenha a vida eterna. João 3:16v💙
Nunca houve nada pela inteligência do homem tão bem concebido, ou tão seguramente estabelecido, que (na continuidade do tempo) não tenha sido corrompido: Prefácio ao Livro de Oração Comum de 1662. Voilà. Eu não queria que você fosse o único a adicionar uma citação completamente irrelevante em uma seção de comentários sobre uma comédia. Você deve ser muito divertido nas festas.
one of my favorite movie, but the final fight scene is the best part of the movie, it brings it all together.. When Sean and Danaher gain each other respect during the fight. The bar scene you can see it. again great movie. they dont make them like that anymore.
I love how the one guy, with no lines, known only as 'the Major' is the only one completely disinterested in the fight. The presumption being, 'the Major' has seen a few fights of his own...
"You do that, lad. It's your duty." My husband and I use that line all the time, whenever one of us states an obvious, unnecessary task that needs doing. "I'm running up to the store." "You do that, lass. It's your duty!"
Brilliant film to watch two brilliant actors in this movie and a fantastic supporting cast as well great cinematoghy as well my favourite part of the film by John ford is the fighting scene
In the 1940s, Director John Ford got the idea to make a movie based on "The Quiet Man," a short story written by Maurice Walsh that appeared in a 1933 edition of "The Saturday Evening Post" He made a handshake agreement with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara to star in film, then took his proposal to various major Hollywood studios - none of whom were interested. After a few years, John Wayne suggested they pitch the project to Herbert J. Yates, Republic's studio chief. Republic was one of the lesser studios in Hollywood, producing low-budget B-Westerns, mostly in b&w. Wayne knew Yates personally - having made several films for Republic in the 1930s. But when he approached Yates, the producer said the story was "...a silly Irish tale that would make no money." But he agreed to bankroll the film if Ford, Wayne and O'Hara would produce a Western to help offset the anticipated loss. The film was "Rio Grande" which premiered in 1950. "The Quiet Man" was budgeted at $1,750,000 ($22,155,217.84 in 2023 dollars) - a huge outlay for a small studio like Republic. In order to help defray costs, Ford, Wayne and O'Hara agreed to salary cuts, and other methods were employed to keep costs down. But Ford knew where to spend money where it counted - the film was photographed on a high quality color stock, as opposed to a lesser, cheaper stock normally employed by Republic. Released in 1952, "The Quiet Man" was a huge financials success - netting $3.8 million dollars ($43,751,479.25 in 2023). It earned Republic Pictures only Academy Award nomination for "Best Picture" and stands as a true labor of love from Ford to the public.
Considering the original short story was nothing to to write home about and rather dreary, he really made something quite extraordinary out of it. It's always been one of my favorites.
@@tsugima6317 Well now, I read the short story before I saw the film. I enjoyed it enough it made me want to see the movie. When I finally did, I realized that this was a rare instance in which the film turned out better than the source material. Everything Ford added was a plus, instead of padding, that most directors would have done.
@@cjmarshall0221Your takes on it are interesting. I had much the opposite reaction. I loved how Shawn put Big Liam down very quickly and almost effortlessly when he finally committed to it. There was foreshadowing of the outcome and very satisfying to read it. The movie diminished Shawn imo. However, I can understand the entertainment value of the brawl that lasts hours, repeatedly having water thrown in their faces to "revive" them whether they needed it or not, the guy making book on the fight, people coming from far and wide to see it, etc. If I hadn't read the short story first I'd have found the movie to be all one could want. I guess it just made more of an impression on me the way the "fight" went in the short story. I love it when the bad guys get theirs, and the way it was written was, to me, perfect.
Wayne, while a very popular actor is a C- actor at best. He simply fit a persona popular with the masses. The credit for all his great films go to the unsung heroes of movies, those who right, direct, and create the choreography.
And? What actor in action movies could you not say the same about? Or any actor for that matter? Sounds like the typical "I have to be sure to knock and knock down an incredibly popular actor even though he's been dead since 1975" drivel that's trotted out in some form or another on every video that includes John Wayne. If you knew anything about John Wayne, you'd know how often he, himself, gave credit where it was due for his success - to those who worked with him, helped him, and directed him. You're trying to sound profound, and instead just state something obvious and banal.
You sir know nothing. Wayne was in some of the biggest movies of the 20th century. C list my ass. He was actually a very good actor. You don't get a star on the Hollywood walk of fame if your c list. From the movie the longest day to true grit he was a great actor.
