      The Quiet Man (1953)

      "Pengmen Begins to Open" "The Quiet Man" (1953)

      A very humorous British comedy, even the performance of every small character is so perfect. But I couldn't write it for a few days after I finished reading it, because it is very difficult for people to think deeply about a love story.

      As I summarized in the...

Said it is a refreshing and happy thing. Shang Thornton, who immigrated with his family at a young age, returned to his hometown of Ireland. Unlike tourists in the...

      Quiet man

      Grace Kelly once said that of all the directors she has worked with, John Ford disappointed him the most.

      She said that as a director, he doesn't seem to know how to communicate with actresses.

      Although this view is extremely emotional and personal, it also shows to a large extent that in John Ford, women should have a subordinate position. Women are not the protagonists of his works. At best, they are only men's foils. When actors get along, they are not as happy as...

      Mary Kate is so pungent and joyful that she sees a lot of moving characters in the dowry fight, which can enrich her character. But the finale was a bit silly. It's okay to recite it three times, but I have to admit that there is such a stereotype. It's really like rewriting the whole film and accusing the Irishman of slaughtering is not enough to beat...

      8. Ford's small town family drama is really interesting, and a lot of jokes and highlights come from the cultural differences between the two countries and the abnormal setting of male and female characters, which makes the film also have connotations to dig, and the level is much higher than that of ordinary romantic...

      The Irish country love story, probably like the country love in our country, is the focus of the film. It's a pity that Ford is really not suitable for romance movies. Although his heroine has always been agile and loud-mouthed, the heroine here is particularly annoying. Probably after leaving the Wild West, he can't neutralize the unreasonable trouble of the heroine. . One more star for photography, in the same vein as...
