@GeneralAdvance I`m crap? Well thanks for your insightful and educated views professor. Read a lot of Satre do you? I wonder does your mummy know you`re writing to grown ups on the internet?
@rouseg54 Satre? Really? You're insulting him about a book you may have read? Even if you have read Satre, any idiot can learn read but interpreting it is another thing entirely.
Also, Sharpe is critically acclaimed as a brilliantly well made/written series, especially this episode.
In conclusion, Sir, the General is right. You're full of crap.
@PhinfanUK First this episode was NOT directly interpreting the book it was written by Cornwell especially for Postlethwaite. Second LEARN SOME GRAMMER!!!!
ThirdJust because the braindead neo facists of this world spend hours jerking off to it doesnt make it critically aclaimed.
@rouseg54 Oh yes, it's also "grammar" not "grammer". Do please point out my grammatical flaws, for I do not see them. As of now it's 1-0 to me. So my message to you is, simply put;
@PhinfanUK That was my point you fucking DULLARD. Think about it CAPITAL LETTERS 2-0 to me I think. Well I`ll let you get back to your silk stockings you sick pervert!
@PhinfanUK "any idiot can learn read" your own words...`GRAMMER` you retard.
So let`s try a little more `GRAMMER` Give me your thoughts on `wo ngi hudelwa ye hubelu`. I`ll give you a clue, it`s an historical literary reference.
I'll assume your a Yank. It's our language, I'll spell it my way (the proper way, with an A)you colonial heathen. Also, don't cut and choose what part of a quote you use. The point was interpretation not reading. On the front of "Grammar/er", I don't see a missed captial letter, or one where it shouldn't be, anywhere.
You've not made a point. There are no points here.
Completely missed the Sharpe reference then? Pity, I felt it rather apt.
@PhinfanUK So, you`re a racist too! as well as unable to interpret English. What does "Any idiot can learn read" actually mean in it`s grammatical context? The phrase was in capitals for ironic emphasis dolt. Good God you really are stupid arent you?
Tell me, were you born this ignorant or did you have to practice at it?
@PhinfanUK By the way genius there`s an `E` in Clausewitz and both he and Antoine- Henri Jomini were strategists and nothing to do with the `children`s hour` mind crap that you wank off to.
@rouseg54 You know what's fun? Arguing with you. You know why it's fun? Because you get so riled up about it and so very easily lead on. You've given me a fair amount of entertainment and for that I thank you. However, I feel this has run it's course. Have a nice life RouseG.
@PhinfanUK So, you admit defeat eh? well most pig ignorant, racist perverts have no balls. So, are there any more experts you wish to quote .....I can help you spell their names if you like..
If you ever get around to reading it, it's pretty enjoyable, though it has this amusing tendency to just drop off in the middle of the story at the end of each novel, leaving the last fifty pages or so blank.
In essence, they all read like a gigantic novel spread over seperate books, instead of each one having it's own climax and ending.
Unfortunately this means when the author died the series was basically unfinished.
It might help if you buy the book companion to the series A Sea of Words.
It's a very large handbook filled with the explanations of both the meanings and the historical events that take place (as well as the historical meanings of Jack Aubrey's HORRIBLE puns).
The character's often reference certain historical things with no explanation: just like how we now talk about "9/11" and everyone knows what it means, but we never exposition it, they never exposition their history either.
Instead, it's actually written like it was written in the 1880's when it takes place, both in the dialogue and in the descriptive prose.
It's even harder to understand then Moby Dick is for the casual reader, and there is NO explanation to what the nautical terms even mean for several books: you just have to guess at what these two-century old sailing phrases mean.
The stories are still VERY good though, easily the Sharpe series equal in my opinion.
RIP Pete Postlethwaite. Generations will pass and there still will be no actor of such talent as yours. I hope this year won't take anymore wonderful actors or actresses. We need more dictators dead not people like Pete Postlethwaite or Elizabeth Taylor.
@Chiricahuabull It's a common practice to demand a soldier to state his name and full rank (as opposed to just 'sergeant') when reprimanding him. Gives them a feel of "I know exactly who you are".
@MajBlood Lucky Jack at Sea or leading the lads in a raid against the chosen men,but Sharpe in a dirty 1 on 1 fight,Jacks just too fat and slow on land. Film actor/charector wise, Sean Bean any time, 'e's a Yorkshirem'n fr'm t'steel city like lad and Im not too sure which part of the colonies (the still fab)Russel crow is meant to be from;) ...As for who could beat Hornblower(TV/film) I think that Midshipman Lord William Blakeney could do the job with his remaining arm tied behind his back :)
Hakeswill is a very clever name. Hake, sometimes called rape, is a bony fish used as the base of cheap fish soup - French bouillebaisse. So the sergeant's name is really Hake (rape) swill.
@lonesomelittlegirl Funny but true. The author of the books for Sharpie and other series - Bernard Cornwell - normally names his villains in some recondite fashion. Ducos is a children's way of saying Ducon - an idiot. French children - especially dans le Midi (Toulouse and Bourdeaux) use 'cos' rather like English children say 'flipping heck' when they mean something much stronger. Voilà les paradoxes linguistiques se manifestent partout.
@890buddha Yiu are quite correct and the said Ducos, moved from a decaying Directory to an abolished Consulate, does spend time in Spain in some consultancy role. I was rather on about Cornwell picking names for a purpose.
A tough one: The current actor looks more like the real Wellington, but the previous actor had much more of the presence and impact you would expect of a general.
@richardcadbury: I dunno if I fully agree with this, but I'll give you that he certainly looked like a General when he promoted Sharpe to Lt. "You've done me a damned good turn - now I'm going to do you a damned bad one!!" L.O.L!!
@MLFive I know what you mean. everytime I see him as Wellington, I see "George" in "Reilly; Ace of Spies". He is a one Hel of an actor. I'm surprised he hasn't gotten more billing. He is brilliant.
@richardcadbury I liked the newer wellington better than the one they used for the first few films. I love Hakeswill though. That actor is boss. Also Daragh O'Malley is the man.
@FinalFreek: I don't know. I just read it somewhere. I will not swear on it. I will try to be more critical with the information i read on the internet;-)
I liked Sharpe better, mostly because he's a vastly more flawed human being then Hornblower, though their stories are amazingly broadly similar.
I always liked the Aubrey-Maturin stories as the equal of Sharpe's tales of Napoleonic War, though I'll admit they're damned hard to read the first time in unless you're very good at working through the dense language.
@TheBType Hornblower also has fewer snobby commissioned officers to deal with, being on a ship with a fairly stable crew. Every time there's a big battle in Sharpe, all the commissioned officers he's impressed & who have grown to respect him, get killed .. and he winds up with a new batch of untrained snobs to deal with!
@TheBType The irony is that the word "gracious" comes from "grace" .. as in "Your Grace .." when someone was of high enough rank. And the meaning of "gracious" is to be kind & courteous, tactful, and characterized by charm, good taste, generosity of spirit, merciful & compassionate. Very few aristocrates in the Sharpe series meet that standard of "graciousness" as a sign of their good breeding!
Since he stripped an officer's uniform off of a corpse, I reckon; he's leading a pack of deserters and criminals, it seems...their authority is in their guns.
They are deserters from the French, English and Portugese army. Sharpes was a top series, and I even enjoyed it better then Band of Brothers, as far as mini series go.
@BayonetWarFilms One outfit called itself the Goya brigade and caused the artist great difficulties when he was put on trial (1814) for collaboration with the French by a reinstated Spaish Inquisition (Monty Python would have loved it) in the reign of the last Divine Right of Kings ruler in Europe - Ferdinand VII
great movie but the people arguing on here really need to get a life... or actually watch the video
