The Quiet Man

After all these years this film remains my all time favorite. It has something for every one from the coolest fight scene to one of the hottest romanantic scenes ever shot. It is after the wedding.....She is very disapointed that her brother won`t give her her dowery..........This to her represents a 300 year history of her familys` women scrimping and saving and putting this treasure together so that someone in the family can move into a better sort of life because of the "treasure" She explains this to her new husband who truly seems to love her. she tells him that untill she gets her treasure that she will not consumate the relationship. She explains that she will cook and clean and keep the land and be the servant tht she had been up untill she agreed to marry him but untill she can get her treasure she will be no more than that........ a servant. She turns and goes to the bedroom and slams the door in his face and he is ok with that untill she slides the dead bolt closed and that is when he knows he must show her that he is the head of this house. He kicks the door in................grabs her roughly in his arms........... Tells her that there will be no locked doors between us Mary kate except those in your mercenary little heart..........kisses her hard.........seemingly taking her breath ....sweeps her off her feet and carrys her to the bed and throws her onto the bed.....everyone knows he is going to have his way with her and he does.................he turns and walks out side and spends the night on the porch. He spoke volumes in that brief scene...........He made his wife know in her heart that there can only be one head of the house and it was him he also showed her that he respected her enough to not ever try to force her to do anything, and he showed her that he understood now why she wanted her dowery. At first he thought it was the money but now he knows it is the history and sense of family that went with the treasure. Wowsa what a movie !!!!!
