RE: CineTV Contest: Why Has No One Remade "The Quiet Man"?!?!
The Quiet Man was filmed in the small towns of Cong & Oughterard (the bridge) respectively in Co. Mayo & Co. Galway, Ireland. I lived not very far from there and it's one of the most beautiful places in Ireland. There is a pub called 'The Quiet Man' where they filmed parts of the movie, and I have some pictures of the statue somewhere haha.
The filming of the movie there caused quite the upheaval, as people weren't used to tourists, let alone movie stars coming down to rural Ireland. O'Hara and Wayne were treated like Royalty (probably better, because they don't really like Royalty in the Republic haha) and were actually staying in a castle.
It was truly one of those movies that are timeless. I'm not sure if a remake would do it justice. But I'd definitely watch it to criticize haha.
How very cool to have been so close to those places! I very seriously doubt anyone could do it justice either, but it would be fun to watch and criticize! lolol
!PIMP
You must be killin' it out here!
@papacrusher just slapped you with 1.000 PIMP, @misslasvegas.
You earned 1.000 PIMP for the strong hand.
They're getting a workout and slapped 1/2 possible people today.
Read about some PIMP Shit or Look for the PIMP District
That would definitely be a great movie to criticize lol.
I was thinking about this again yesterday, and thought how cool it would be if they did a remake of Gone with the Wind or Doctor Zhivago.
Those would be hard movies to make so they don't suck though...
