Hurling (), the Gaelic sport, is a prominent feature in popular culture. ==In film== Hurling and Hollywood have long been linked.〔Commins, Michael. ("Hurling and the Hollywood link" ), ''Mayo News'', 26 August 2008.〕 Several awards have resulted from the depiction of hurling in film, including the Palme d'Or and several Academy Award nominations: * The 1930s Warner Brothers short film ''Sports Thrills'', narrated by CBS broadcaster Ted Husing, demonstrated hurling.〔 * A 1936 MGM-commissioned short series, directed by David Miller, portrayed hurling as "bordering on savage" with "all the Hollywood stereo-type images of the Irish back then, short of drinking, on the field". The GAA complained and attempted to have some of the more unpleasant scenes removed.〔 * The 1951 film ''The Quiet Man'' features the famous line: "Sure don't you know the Mayo hurlers haven't been beaten west of the Shannon in the last 20 years."〔 * A 1955 Paramount Studios-commissioned short film, Three Kisses,〔National University of Ireland, Galway ("Recently Discovered Hurling Films Screened for First Time in Eighty Years" ), ''NUI Galway'', 5 August 2010〕 directed by Justin Herman, was nominated for an Academy Award.〔 * The 1956 film ''The Rising of the Moon'' featured a badly bruised and bandaged but victorious local hurling team, leading to "deep concern" about Hollywood's tendency to overdo the bad side of hurling.〔 Novelist Flann O'Brien (''The Third Policeman'', ''At Swim-Two-Birds'') gave the disagreement a satirical edge in his newspaper column.〔 * During filming of the 1958 Rank Studios film ''Rooney'' titular actor John Gregson ran out onto the Croke Park turf with the teams ahead of the 1957 All-Ireland Senior Championship Final between Kilkenny and Waterford. He wore a Kilkenny jersey to film the part.〔 * The 2006 Ken Loach film ''The Wind That Shakes the Barley'', set in 1920, opens with a Sunday hurling match in County Cork.〔McBride, Dara. ("Top 10 Irish films of the decade" ). IrishCentral.com. Thursday, 17 December 2009.〕 The film won the Palme d'Or at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. *In the opening scenes of the 2011 film ''Blitz'', Jason Statham uses a hurley to beat up three youths who are trying to steal a car. Statham's character is heard to say, "This, lads, is a hurley, used in the Irish game of hurling, a cross between hockey and murder". *In the Disney production "Secret of Boyne Castle" 1972 - episode 1, Kurt Russell was playing Hurling at the boarding school where the mini series starts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hurling in popular culture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
