Review of The Quiet Man (1952) by Conner R — 18 Jul 2010
One of the many great John Ford/John Wayne movies, this is a lot different from their other collaborations and in many ways one of the best. It's so full of life and has so much to say about relationships, culture and tradition.
Most importantly, it's about the idea of a home and a future. The performances are wonderful, as are the characters. I think the storytelling structure is extremely unconventional and more exclusive to reality rather than the typical love story.
John Ford also directs this movie in a way that makes it unforgettable. The landscape, colors, style and scope are so beautiful and something unique. There wont ever be a movie like it.
