Thread 215144119

Well, sir, upon sighting the television & film board, I naturally gave the order to start a Sharpe thread. That's my style, sir.

>>215144119 (OP)
Making Sharpe threads on /tv/...now that's soldiering.

>>215144119 (OP)
Oh I know this show
"MAJOR LENNOX ANSWERED WITH HIS LIFE, SIR!"

Yeah I see that clip all the time in my recommended
Is this like Breaking Bad for historical flicks?

Ah, very good Simmerson. But tell me, again, whose colors was it?
>…the Kings?
AND I SHOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT THAT WAY YOU SIMPERING FUCK. YOU LOST THE KING’S COLORS, HE’S WALKING AROUND BUCKINGHAM ALL COLORLESS, HE’S ALREADY HAD TO CANCEL DOZENS OF PORTRAITS, HE LOOKS POSITIVELY GHASTLY. MEANWHILE, I’VE GOT A BEEF WITH NAPOLEON SO BIG I COULD BRUSH IT WITH DUXELLE AND WRAP IT IN PUFF PASTRY, HE MAKES ME SO BLOODY MAD I WISH A COALITION OF INTERNATIONAL BANKERS WOULD JUST SHOW UP AND BUY ME AN ARMY SO LARGE I’D GIVE HIM THE FULL NELSON WORSE THAN HORATIO DID AT TRAFALGAR! (THOUGH NOW WE CALL HIM HALF-NELSON) BUT YOU KNOW ME, I CAN’T COMPLAIN, AT LEAST IM NOT SENT TO RUN A TAKEOVER ON SOME INDIE COUNTRY IN THE FAR EAST. WHICH REMINDS ME, I’M SENDING YOU TO SPAIN. MAYBE YOU’LL GET SOME COLOR THERE, BECAUSE IF YOU LOSE ANY MORE, I’LL HAVE THEM STICK A SPEAR THROUGH YOUR ANUS AND YOUR PALE ASS CAN BE THE FLAG OF SURRENDER! NOW GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY OFFICE!

>I did not lose the King's colours, it's not true! It's bullshit! I did not lose them [throws water canteen] I did not. Oh hi, Sir Wellesley .

>>215144196
>Is this subversive garbage?
Not exactly.

>>215144196
It's based on a book series. Show makes things more romantic but is enjoyable. The book is brutally honest about what shitbags both the common soldiery and noble officer corp were during this time.

AAAAAAAAAAA

Sharpe is fun but honestly, I think it would have better if it was about a french soldier. Following a Sharp style french soldier in the Grande Army, we could have travel across Europe, see more distinctives battles and campaigns. They could have had moral dilemns about loyalty while Napoleon become more and more ambitious, when he exiled and come back, explore different political factions, show the crime and the greatness.
You don't even need to be creative, there was a lot of actual soldiers that acted like IRL Sharpe : Lassale, Pelletier de Chambure... Just change the name a little so it is'nt too obvious.
Bongs only saw the boring part of Napoleonic wars (exept for the war at sea. That part is kino). Even Waterloo is a meh tier battle compared to Eylau, Wagram or Leipzig.
It's sad the french have no money to make movies or do it only for themselves so we are forever condemned to let the anglo-saxon speak to the world about Napoleon.

>>215144553
Nobody likes Napoopan, sorry. Not even the french, what with him being an italian mutt and all.

HELLO WE ALL HAVE STUPID HAIR SO YOU KNOW IT'S A PERIOD PIECE

>I have friends at horse guard
Yeah probably gay friends lmao.

BUMP YA BASTARDS

>>215145350
The guy who played Wellesley in the first couple of episodes was so much better than the guy who replaced him and then also when Brian Cox left the show it became shite. Rifles=Eagle>>>>>everything else.

>Cheesy 80s guitar mixed with fife and drum intro plays
>Small skirmish between the British and French
>Sharpe flailing his sword around while Hagman gives cover fire
>They win the skirmish

>"Bloody 'ell, Patrick. What's 'e want now?"
>Sharpe arrives in old Nosey's tent
>His spymaster of the day is there
>As is a weasel-looking British officer or French lord
>"Sharpe, this is Lord Fucksworth, who has a dangerous mission for you - you will be enormously outnumbered, deep behind enemy lines with no support, oh and Major Ducos is around so watch out for him."
>Lord Fuckworth insults him for being a poorfag, but reluctantly accepts that this is Wellington's best man
>"As ye like, sir. Ah'll get it dun."
>Cut to Sharpe and Patrick discussing the mission
>"It dun maek bloody sense, Patrick. Why do they need us to tek this castle/find this woman/get these supplies/uncover this plot?"
>"Oh, surely as the fields o' Ireland are green, sir. God has a plan for us, sir."
>A few battles happen on the way to the objective
>Oh, look. It's an attractive young woman who keeps looking at Sharpe suggestively
>They fuck
>"Look, Patrick! It's the thing we're here for!"
>"LOOK OUT, SIR."
>Lord Fucksworth appears and betrays Sharpe
>Ducos appears

>"Bloody Ducos."
>Battle happens
>Patrick goes "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH BANG" with the 7-barrelled gun

When is he italian, exactly ?

>>215146235
What the hell are those teeth ?

>>215144119 (OP)
Okay, this is going to sound weird but I'm watching sharpe with my boomer dad and it got awkward in movie 2 with the brothel.
Tell it to me straight boys how many tits and saucy shit is in this series?

>>215146707
the brits aren't exactly known for their oral hygiene. specially back then

>>215146747
There's really not that much tits. Just a peek here and there.
Liz Hurley gets her Hurleys out though which is probably the highlight

>>215144215

AND YOUR OTHER REGIMENT!

>>215146783
Well I think he'll just have to deal with that. Thanks for the response.

>>215146759
No one was you retard, especially the lower classes.

He was born in Corsica and his father was part of a political party that fought the French for independence.

>>215145350
I like how the Americhad immediately looks away when he brings up MUH COUSIN AND FRIENDS.
>Ah shit here he goes again

>>215147799
Leroy had had enough and was tired of it his shit.

>>215145383
I think the show is good up to the Sharpe getting cucked saga and then Sharpe cucking Sweet William. I even like the stupid Aztec cult episode because the love interest of the week is great.

>>215147496
>a political party that fought the French for independence.
That was just the style at the time.

>>215146171
The guy who chose that electric guitar strim for the show is a fucking genius. It seems so out of place for the 1700's yet it's so iconic to the show

>>215146221
Do you have friends in Kremlin?

>>215147936
Did they get the idea from the Blackadder II opening?

>>215147999
Nobody watches Whackadder. Nice trips though.

>>215148057
>Nobody watches Whackadder
Factually incorrect

>>215148057
>Nobody watches Whackadder

>>215146171
works every time

Do you know what makes a good anon? Not many do!

>>215148312
The ability to evade 3 bans a minute posting in any thread sir!

When I was a kid I had a Risk set that had metal gamepieces. Anytime I saw a random Sharpe episode on tv I would spend hours staging battles with them and locations made from Legos.

is the sharpe universe entirely self-contained? Blackadder/hornblower are not at all related, right? For some reason I always link them together as uk historical shows produced around the same time

>>215148772
Blackadder is entirely its own thing.
Hornblower and Sharpe are both historical fiction set during the Napoleonic wars by different authors.

>>215148057
>Nobody watches Whackadder.
Wrong.

>>215147496
>Corsica was french when he was born
>The independantist lost their fight anyway
Sound like a fancy way to say he was french

>>215148289
>But... but sir, after few shots the gun is burning hot, it would hurt my mouth. And the ball doesn't come in easily. It oppose some resistance and I would need to blow all the strenght for my lungs. Excuse me, sir, for I am not. like you, an man that can suck a golf ball through a garden hose.
