hey everyone today I only talk about the 1952 film the quiet man and many thanks
to Jean Marie for for requesting this story with this is absolutely gorgeous
Sean Thornton returns to Ireland where he was born from America because he
wants to buy a cottage in industry where he was born and when he was there and
tries to go about buying a cottage he finds himself falling in love with one
of the locals Mary Kate and story begins with starting off him will he get the
girl will he won't be and it's a little love story but as it progresses it gets
more it takes unexpected twists but if I'd actually sat down and thought what
time the story was set we're about of a set I was he sat in the West of Ireland
I kind of could have expected things so she a cannot turn so while I found it
quite surprised and watching it as a film I think is a kind of interpretation
I think it's very very good and emotive it's fantastic I think I
rooted for the right people I hope I did there were times where I thought am I
supposed to like that character am I not but I think I felt the right emotions
hopefully I did and there were a few hearts giving moments where you thought
oh that's when you swing it that's us really lovely but don't be fooled into
thinking it's a complete wrong I'm story all the way through because it's not
that are other elements going on there and other questions that need to be
asked the plot is just absolutely beautiful the two main characters are
played by John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara John Wayne is it's fantastic I think the
character of Shawn is one of those am I supposed to like him and actually I
loved him then I thought actually this isn't quite right I'm not entirely sure
if I'm allowed to like him but well yeah I think I'm allowed to like him and I
didn't like him and I would like to meet him you know it's one of those
characters where if I bumped into him I think yeah this is quite happy obviously
the fact that he's returning from America to industry is it is lovely
it has a real sense of you know Irish even when you're not no longer in
Ireland and I think that's really really nice and many cases the character action
kind of aknowledge me to begin with the thought don't like you another went on a
saw actually yeah you're a fantastic character Maureen O'Hara has one
she's just absolutely beautiful she's one of the best accents ever for a brief
time she speaks in Irish it's absolutely gorgeous really really enjoyed her and
Bobby Fitzgerald plays MacLean as well which other character is hilarious this
isn't a funny film but there are a couple of moments where you're kind of
just you can't help but laugh at certain things and most of the time it's a
mickalene as a character I just think you really add something to the story
ideally you know he needs to be in this it could be done without him but I think
it would be missing that just key element just to make it a little bit
more fluffy I guess the film's all she directed by
John Ford and the directing is quite interesting because you gotta see a lot
of the fast landscapes of the West Coast um I um as a lot of you will know I'm
madly in love with Ireland's one of my main interests in life and specifically
the West Coast so we get to see quite a bit of mail and this and I spent about
half an hour online after I walked film just looking at like all different
places where it was filmed in to all the different sets that we use and things so
to see a lot of the West Coast for me is invaluable but it's absolutely beautiful
and it really helps with this is the M and assessing the emotions and setting
the scenes for this I believe it captures the essence of Ireland now I've
never been to Ireland but from my understanding that is why I perceived to
be the essence of the West Coast I think it worked beautifully directing is
absolutely fantastic the client man is brilliant it is actually on YouTube the
entire film is on YouTube I can say enough because I didn't put it on or
anything so I'll link the film in the below bar so go and check it out it's
about two hours and 10 minutes so it's not too long and as opposed to like a
three hour film and it's just absolutely wonderful as a fan of Ireland as
somebody who gets excited that the mere mention of Ireland start to finish
absolutely loved it characters played with my emotions a lot made me question
whether I was feeling the right things and it's just wonderful let me know your
thoughts and I'll see you all next time bye
