Brilliant film, and Maurice Jarres film score is a thing of beauty.

Robert Mitchum was so good in this film. So was Trevor Howard who played the priest. I can't believe how underrated and overlooked this masterpiece is!!

This was a very powerful, deep meaning movie - a classic. One for the thinking man. I think it was one of Lean's best.

I don't think Michael was really the village idiot- he seemed quite shrewd, but unable to express his feelings in words.

@campbellscampfriend They gave Shakespeare to the world and that includes Ireland.

This was a serious disappointment for me as I love David Lean but Ryan's Daughter is awful.

@chrismith081 i first saw this because my mother was watching it years ago. Ever since then, it has been my favorite movie. I bought it on dvd too. My mother was Irish and my father is English so it's interesting see the two sides depicted in the movie.

the feelings it evoked of when a woman I was crazy about was playing around or so I thought and the Mitchum character so hurt and so in love

This film was panned by the critics so much so David Lean didn't make another film for 12 years.
Considering the fact that Major Doryan has fought to stay alive during the first world war, then why did he commit suicide with dynamites and stuff at the end? I didn't really understand that, although this ending is also perfectly thought about. It should be among the classics.

@caytiryakisi28 He's obviously severed mentally disturbed by the way which manifests itself in the shellshock thats triggered with any sound that resembles artillery or explosions. Plus, possibly the guilt he felt over having betrayed his wife and the guilt of coming between Rosie and her husband.

'disturbed by the war' I meant to say.
