You still don’t know what to watch this week? If I told you that I have a film to introduce, you must know that it’s gonna be one of the boxing film. And if you know it’s a boxing film, you will expect to see lots and lots of actions. Well I might disappoint you that. This movie is completely a true drama. It’s not really a boxing movie, but a movie with boxing in it.

The reason I want you to see this movie is because it is so damn good. I don’t see a person who’s seen it hate it. It has some really good comments; however the film couldn’t make a big sell. It is not as popular as it supposed to be actually. What a shame. I think people should get a chance to watch it or have it at home. And if you are also a drama-freak, you will definitely love it!

The Boxer was released in 1997. The director was Jim Sheridan who really did a great job. And the main characters starred by Daniel Day Lewis and Emily Watson could and already impressed the viewers.

The movie is a story of a guy named Danny Flynn, a boxer and former Irish Republican Army (IRA) volunteer, played by Lewis, is released from prison in Belfast after fourteen years for his past in IRA activities. He attempts to “go straight” and build up a new life, starting a boxing gym for young people in his old home and training them as young boxers like himself, with no political or sectarian ties. He also tries to reconnect with his woman he left behind when he had to go to the prison, played by Watson. However this past always catches up with him and will not gonna let him live a peaceful life.

So that is just something you can spend your free time doing it. It is a really great movie, I can assure you that. And I don’t want you to miss it. So go to your neighborhood’s DVD renting shop now and rent this movie. You won’t be disappointed!
