Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict is resolved through the protagonist's embrace of traditional Irish community customs and gender roles, rather than a challenge to them. This celebration of established traditions and individual responsibility within a romanticized, stable community aligns with right-leaning values.
The film features a traditional cast reflecting its 1950s Irish setting, with no intentional diversity casting or race/gender swaps. Its narrative explores traditional community life and gender dynamics without offering a critical portrayal of traditional identities or incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film portrays Catholicism as a central and respected institution in the Irish community, with Father Peter Lonergan serving as a wise, benevolent, and humorous figure. The church provides moral guidance and social cohesion, and its traditions are depicted with warmth and affection, not satire.
The film 'The Quiet Man' does not feature any explicit or implicit LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes. Its narrative centers entirely on heterosexual romance and community dynamics in rural Ireland, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "The Quiet Man" is an adaptation of a short story. All named characters in the film maintain the same gender as established in the original source material. There are no instances of characters canonically or historically established as one gender being portrayed as a different gender.
The film's characters, set in rural Ireland, are consistently portrayed by actors of the same race as established in the source material and setting. There are no instances where a character's established race was changed for the screen portrayal.
