Cornwell himself changed Sharpe's character in the books to match Sean Bean after seeing how popular he was. There is literally no other man who embodies Sharpe. Ian McKellen is Gandalf, Sean Bean is Sharpe.

I personally think that because this was narrated through the memory of a chosen man, gives it so much more weight. This was a series that I had grown up with, me and my Granda would narrate as it was playing. Those kind of memories are so precious and all I can say is thank you to all the cast and crew throughout the years.

technically 5 (if i recall correctly) riflemen have "survived" to the end. Quotation marks are mainly because they're considered as survived if they're not mentioned dying. Funnily enough, Hagman and Harris have survived in the books and didn't die at Waterloo :) So chin up ol' boy, these good soldiers made it out!
@SantomPh3 жыл бұрын
@@CreeXLR Hagman also dies in the book. Harris doesn't exist in the books, he was created for the TV movies. You didn't read the books at all, did you? Cooper is allowed to narrate this special despite dying off-page in the legendary retreat to Coruna, which in the novels split the Light Company into several detachments, one of which was under Sharpe and attached to the South Essex. TV wise, Cooper is injured in Sharpe's Gold and sent back to England, but never killed.

This series did remind me of Horatio Hornblower. I have a copy of that series of books in one volume from the early 1950's. Years later I purchased the movies they had on A&E with Ioan Gruffudd in the leading roll. I have seen other earlier versions with Gregory Peck. This was also a fascinating series of movies With Sean Bean. I have seen some of these movies on PBS but most of them on KZbin. This was an interesting time in European history during the Napoleonic time period and the struggles between France and the British Empire.

@Galastel Жыл бұрын
A long war would make any sane man bitter and disillusioned. But it certainly does feel like Cornwell ran out of good ideas and started recycling boring old tropes at some point. For me, Sharpe's Eagle was the best, and after Sharpe's Enemy things became a real disappointment. No woman could compare to Theresa, no enemy was as unpleasant as Hakeswill. And with the Chosen Men wither dying or disappearing between episodes, there were fewer and fewer likeable characters each time.

The actors had other projects / wanted more money, so the characters just disappeared between episodes. Cooper was wounded in the last episode he was in, so one can imagine he was shipped back to England, and thus survived to tell tales in a pub.

Understand that the typical infantryman used a smoothbore musket with an accuracy of maybe 50 feet. To mitigate low anticipated accuracy, European armies marched to battles in rows and fired in volleys. Such battlefield tactics were effective but 50% losses were not at all unusual because rows of lead fired en masse' cannot discriminate target.
