Troy (2004) : Best Odysseus' Quotes

- If they ever tell my story let them say that I walked with giants. Men rise and fall like the winter wheat, but these names will never die. Let them say I lived in the time of Hector, tamer of horses. Let them say I lived in the time of Achilles.

- You have your swords, I have my tricks ... We play 

with the toys the gods give us...

Sean Bean : Quotes Of The Day!

“They're always intense. I think everything is quite intense and that's the way it should be on things...”  

. . .

 

''A common misperception of me is... That I am a tough, rough northerner, which I suppose I am really. But I'm pretty mild-mannered most of the time. It's the parts that you play I guess. I don't mind it. I'm not a tough guy. I'd like to act as a fair, easy-going, kind man at some point.''

Sean Bean Quote Of The Day: Sharpe VS James Bond

"I think there was a time I was linked to it 

but I suppose I blew it playing 006. 

They made a good choice in Daniel Craig. 

He`s a very good actor. He was in one of the 

first Sharpes we ever did (Sharpe's Eagle) 

 and I gave him a bit of a battering. 

So we can always say Sharpe battered Bond."

Remembrance Day: Sean Bean Reads Wilfred Owen Part 2 (VIDEO)

 The Last Laugh

Wilfred Owen

'Oh! Jesus Christ! I'm hit,' he said; and died.
Whether he vainly cursed or prayed indeed,
The Bullets chirped-In vain, vain, vain!
Machine-guns chuckled,-Tut-tut! Tut-tut!
And the Big Gun guffawed.

Another sighed,-'O Mother, -Mother, - Dad!'
Then smiled at nothing, childlike, being dead.
And the lofty Shrapnel-cloud
Leisurely gestured,-Fool!
And the splinters spat, and tittered.

'My Love!' one moaned. Love-languid seemed his mood,
Till slowly lowered, his whole faced kissed the mud.
And the Bayonets' long teeth grinned;
Rabbles of Shells hooted and groaned;
And the Gas hissed.

Remembrance Day: Sean Bean reads Wilfred Owen's Anthem for Doomed Youth (VIDEO)

Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day or Armistice Day) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth countries since the end of World War I to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty. As part of a series of short films being aired on More 4 to mark Remembrance Sunday (11-11-12), Sean Bean joins fellow stars to recite First World War poetry. In this video he reads The ''Anthem For Doomed Youth'' Poem by Wilfred Owen : 

Anthem For Doomed Youth

What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons.
No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells;
Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs,
The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells;
And bugles calling for them from sad shires.
What candles may be held to speed them all?
Not in the hands of boys, but in their eyes
Shall shine the holy glimmers of good-byes.
The pallor of girls' brows shall be their pall;
Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds,
And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.

Plot Summary 

(Source: WikiPedia)

In 1809, Sir Arthur Wellesley (David Troughton), the commander of the British army fighting the French in Portugal, is saved from three pursuing French cavalrymen by Sergeant Richard Sharpe (Sean Bean). Wellesley rewards Sharpe with a field promotion to lieutenant and command of the "chosen men", a handful of sharpshooters previously led by Rifleman Patrick Harper (Daragh O'Malley). The two men take an instant dislike to each other.

Wellesley has no money to pay his men; however, he has arranged for a loan from the Rothschild family. James Rothschild has set out from Vienna with a badly needed bank draft, but is overdue. Sharpe, his men, and a company under Major Dunnett (Julian Fellowes) are sent out to search for him. While Sharpe and his men are out scouting the terrain, the company is surprised and wiped out by enemy cavalry led by Colonel de L'Eclin (Malcolm Jamieson) and a mysterious man in black civilian clothes (Anthony Hyde), with only Perkins and a gravely wounded Captain Murray as survivors.

The band took refuge in a small cottage and Captain Murray succumbed to his wounds. Harper tells Sharpe that the men have decided that they want to go back; he and Sharpe end up fighting and are taken unawares by a band of Spanish guerrillas led by Commandante Teresa Moreno (Assumpta Serna) and Major Blas Vivar (Simón Andreu). Sharpe declares Harper a mutineer and joins forces with the Spanish guerrillas for mutual protection, since they are headed in the same general direction. Sharpe begins to bond with his men and also with Teresa. The guerrillas are protecting a chest and when Harper kills two French cavalrymen to protect it, Sharpe frees him and drops the mutiny charge. Along the way, they encounter the Parkers, a Methodist missionary couple and their niece, whom they take under their protection.

Major Hogan, Wellesley's chief of military intelligence, shows up and orders Sharpe to assist Vivar with his mission to rouse the people. The Spaniard has brought a thousand-year-old family heirloom with him - the Gonfalon of Santiago or "Banner of Blood". Legend has it that Santiago (Saint James) himself will appear to defend Spain when the flag is raised over the chapel in the town of Torrecastro. Sharpe, Teresa, Vivar and their men attack and defeat the French garrison. Vivar crosses swords with the man in black, who turns out to be his own brother, the Count of Matamoros, and kills him. He then raises the flag. At the end of the battle, Colonel de L'Eclin is about to shoot an unarmed Sharpe, but is shot and killed by Rifleman Perkins. Sharpe rewards the young Perkins by making him a "chosen man".

Sharpe reports back to Wellesley. When the general expresses his disappointment that Sharpe did not find Rothschild, Sharpe reveals that "Mrs. Parker" is the banker in disguise, to Wellesley's delight. Afterwards, Sharpe and Teresa make love, before she leaves to continue fighting the French.

Sean Bean Interview: My Top 5 Death Scenes

Black Death (2010)

"I don't think anyone was quite sure how we were going to do it up until the day. We had all these ideas about using horses and ropes, but it's not till you actually get on set that you think, 'Okay, how am I going to die?' They wanted to tie me to these two horses, but I would only let them tie me to one. It was difficult because you're working with animals and, from the crew's point of view, filming somebody getting split down the middle, or quartered as it were, is very difficult. They were very safety-conscious, of course, but I just didn't like the idea of being tied to two of the bloody things because there's a chance it could actually happen!"
 

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) 

"This one took quite a while, but it was a big production so we had a lot of time to get it right. It happens at the end of the film, so they wanted to make a big splash – whoever was going to die was going to do so in spectacular fashion. Peter [Jackson] spent quite a bit of time on that particular death, choreographing every detail and planning how he was going to film parts of it in slow motion and what music he was going to use. "There's a big fight which wears Boromir down and, little by little, these ugly beasts get the better of him. That moment when I'm down on my knees and I'm looking up at Lurtz is incredibly powerful. It's a very heroic death. I had this harness on with these arrows fixed into it which was quite heavy, but that was the only way to make it look as if these arrows are really stuck in you. If you look at that scene, there's never a point where you see an arrow being fired directly into me. It's done in a very clever way where the camera cuts to me at the moment of impact and I react as if I've been hit. It's the reactions that make it." 

Patriot Games (1992) 

"I died about three times in this one, I think! I get in a big fight with Harrison Ford and eventually he manages to get me down and impales me on an anchor. Pretty nasty way to go. The producers were happy with it because in America audiences are only satisfied when they know for sure you're dead – and you know I'm dead at that moment! Filming that scene was difficult because it was very dark and slippery on the set. We shot it on a boat in a studio with all these loud thunder-and-lightning effects and rain coming down on us. It was a long fight and it took quite a few days to get it right. It was pretty rough because Harrison's quite handy, he gets stuck in! It was rocky, but we pulled it off."

  

The Field (1990) 

 "Poor Tadgh McCabe. It's such a sad scene, but also quite pathetic because he just can't get away. It's almost the way you expect him to go because he's such a passive individual; he's been dominated by his father since he was young and can't really think for himself. It's quite tragic really. I remember running away from all these cattle and getting closer and closer to the edge of the cliff. It's real cattle coming at me and it was quite nerve-wracking in that respect. And then I'm dead in the water floating along with these dead sheep. "We shot in it winter on the west coast of Ireland and we had to reshoot it quite a few times. They were real sheep and some of them had been dead for two weeks. They'd keep putting fresh ones in but there'd still be sheep floating past that had been dead for weeks. You can't react or do anything because you're meant to be dead, but you've got these fucking stinking dead animals drifting by right under your nose. Every time I got in the water, I had to hold my breath. I had a good shower after that." 

  

Equilibrium (2002) 

"I'm reading the poetry of WB Yeats in this abandoned church when I get executed. There's something very poignant and heroic about this death. I've still got the book at home with the bullet hole in it. It's an interesting one because I know I'm about to get it and I remember having to get into the mindset of accepting my fate. It's funny... you never really get used to dying. There's no set formula for it and no two death scenes are the same. You've just got to do what feels right in the moment and make it as convincing as possible. It's an important moment, you've got to really think about it. I'm not an expert on death scenes though. Or maybe I am."
