why


this may be adumb question,but why was danny arrested in the first palce and sent to prison? did he kill someone.

He was a member of the IRA... And he was caught... (or someone touted on him).

I think the beauty of it is that you never find out exactly WHAT danny did to get arrested, maybe he was just found out as a member. We just know that he never gave names of other IRA members while incarcerated.

We also never meet Maggie's husband/Liam's father/Danny's best friend. I thought that was really effective, but also made me think for a moment that maybe Liam was Danny's son.

The Boxer is one of my favorites, it's a film of loyalty and the repercussions of.

I think that was a very good part of the film, not knowing why he was arrested made him even more interesting
