The loudest quiet man around. Both in the movie and the story Shawn
             Thorton/Kelvin is a boxer from America who returns to his home town in
             Ireland, but thats about the only major similarity between the movie and the
             book. In the story and movie some of the differances are that Shawns home
             town is different, the people are different, in more way than one, all in all a
             different story line. The story was written by Maurice Walsh, the movie was

             movie is a strong handsom tall man. In the book he is short and stalky. In
             the movie is a man who knows what he wants. In the book he seems to be a
             little bit not sure of what he wants and the way he wants it.
             In the movie Shawn buys his place of birth and goes into more details
