  • Ryan’s Daughter (1970) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #Ryan’sDaughter
    Lawrence of Arabia alums David Lean and Robert Bolt reteam for this sweeping and brooding tale set amidst the expansive beaches, craggy cliffs and heathered hills of Ireland's Dingle Peninsula. Set during the Irish uprising of 1916, Ryan's Daughter tells the epic love story of a married Irish woman (Sarah Miles) whose dangerous affair with a British soldier (Christopher Jones) brings her accusations of betrayal. Yet a stronger love for the teacher may be found in her betrayed husband (Robert Mitchum), who stands by her.
    Directed By David Lean
    Starring Robert Mitchum, Trevor Howard, John Mills

    One of my favorite scenes in this beautiful movie. The transition showing his mental state from the trenches to her reaching out to him, set against a black background. Gorgeous film-making at its finest.

    Ryan's Daughter is just another masterpiece and my favorite movie by David Lean. All characters were carefully chosen especially that of Christopher Jones. As for criticism for his "small speaking part"; what is a shell shocked man so traumatized by war to talk about? The pain and trauma of war needed to be acted out and Christopher Jones performed this outstandingly! I cannot envision another actor in this role. This scene takes me back in time as many of my family members served our country and were in wars.... They don't return the person they were when they left. Many didn't even come back. It leaves lifetime scars in the entire family. We never even heard of PTSD! I praise God they have developed therapy and rehabilitation centers for the war-afflicted. Thank you David Lean for leaving our world world with one of your many masterpieces. You are a blessing.

      It is a great movie and also one of my favourites. Very evocative scenery and marvellously acted. Unfortunately & amazingly totally misunderstood at the time by the critics who didn't like it. Lean was so upset he quit directing for quite some time . Only returning much later for Passage to India. Imagine the great films we were denied during his absence. #*!@ing critics!

    The officer’s quietly desperate struggle to stay calm and keep a lid on his rapidly spiralling feelings of terror from the tapping noise triggering him is masterfully performed here by Christopher Jones. Mills’ non verbal acting here is also brilliant in showing how he can physically feel the officer’s infectious panic. The empathetic way in which Rose is able to ground the officer back to reality by holding his hand is very effective in this scene.

    Christopher was perfect. Sometimes the people too close can't see it but an audience always knows. His beautifully reticent and ghost like performance was sublime and accidentally ingenius. He deserved an award for sure but I think he didn't make friends on the set due to personal problems and as we all know in that most narcissistic of professions...you have to play ball. Wince.

      agreed. a flawed but still fascinating example of david lean's art. the savaging it received at the hands of critics at the time of its release has given it a seemingly unshakable reputation as a failure, but it's good to know that its many virtues continue to be appreciated by the audience of home video and streaming service viewers.

  • @lisapell9000

    I am so glad to see this...Christopher Jones' performance was absolutely stunning, expressing, in that legendary face, the tension of the many subtle shifts in his trauma response without speaking a word. The romance scene was absolutely tender and attentive. This film,, every second of it, gives one images of such beauty and longing, it is a transcendent experience to watch. Again, Jones and Miles conveyed more without words than any words could. In those times, emotion and expression were not accepted, and PTSD (shell shock) was something one had to hide, or be condemned as a failure. Jones did an amazing job of demonstrating that tension.. I find the negative press he received entirely unwarranted, and was disappointed to read how Miles trashed Jones after this film was made.
    SPOILER ALERT
    The one thing I was not convinced about was Rosy's sudden statement that it is over. I didn't buy it, given the last image was of the way they were irresistibly pulled together, over space, one felt even over time. It was a timeless love, one that could not survive in this world, but I didn't feel the film showed us how she arrived at that conclusion.

      I think everyone should see this because we forget how savage people can be without a civilizing presence (in this culture, the local priest). All of us. It is popular to vilify the civilizing forces today, because of denial of the shadow side of human nature.

  • @Autostade67
    @Autostade67 3 роки тому +4

    Fifty years on criticism remains divided as to the aesthetic success of Lean's most misunderstood film (I tend to be a defender) - Freddie Young's legendary cinematography not withstanding - but I have always been surprised that Maurice Jarre's score was not nominated for an Academy Award. 'Rosy's Theme' is so uncannily composed that the first time you hear it you have something akin to a false memory that you've known the melody all your life. And I don't think I've found anyone who has pointed out that 'Michael's Theme' is actually an interpolation of the melodic line of the theme for Major Doryan (or vice versa) as 'naturally' it should be since, thematically, Doryan and Michael are the poles of one person, or rather one figure: mutations - one tragic Apollonian desire and the other comic Dionysian chthonian chaos - a mirror upon itself between whose double reflection Rosy is repeatedly interposed. This dual image is constantly implied such that by the end of the film, the visual gesture of Michael and Doryan limping across the sand offers a near poetic relief: the union of the two apposed energies. Musically, that apposition is here demonstrated with 'The Shakes', mingling the Michael/Doryan motif with military orchestration to intimate the connection.
