Sharpe's Eagle - Viewing Notes
.
1:45 After reading Swordmaster Ch 6(?) it's a nice surprise to see actual Sharpe bedhead lol.
1:50 By this point Pat's had his hand on Sharpe's shoulder for a full fifteen seconds.
3:02 Quick close-up on Dobbs, who, thinking about it, might actually be the only speaking part in the South Essex ranks.
15:15 Sharpe cocks his rifle and holds it upright to fire to get their attention. But Harper is at his right shoulder and it's pretty much right in his face lol. We can just about see through the smoke that he's got his eyes shut, as has Sharpe.
15:30 "Sweat them, Sergeant," says Sharpe, and buggers off. The privileges of being an officer.
16:30 Such a big change since Rifles. The other Chosen Men are still talking about deserting, heading for Oporto to take ship for England, but Harper is now fully on board with supporting Sharpe and helping him get his Captaincy.
19:15 Sharpe is taken for a Private by Lt Gibbons. This is the scene I ficced in Dangerous Street For A Lady
21:25 The moment Sharpe arrives, Harper takes two steps forward to stand at his shoulder as usual. Sharpe personally takes Dobbs off the flogging frame.
30:40 I'm not sure how much sense "Load and fire in your own time; LOAD!" makes, though perhaps it means they just get on with the loading by themselves rather than him calling out all the individual movements.
42:40 Sharpe looks to be on guard, though presumably it's more like checking the guard, and he arrives at Harper's side, whereupon Harper gives him a cup of ?tea? with no words exchanged. While Sharpe's drinking it, Harper is fiddling with his sleeve - the braiding just above the wrist. Is that part of the insignia of a Sergeant? To show he's proud of it?
49:30 Sharpe is total shit at hand-to-hand fighting, apparently. Which he certainly isn't in the books.
51:10 I never understand this - someone hands over a bag of money and no-one ever counts how much is in it. They don't even look to see whether it's gold or copper. In this case, Leroy gives it to Sharpe, Sharpe hands it on to the Countess and the Countess gives it straight to the maids.
51:55 I like this line. The Countess says to Teresa "You are lucky to have him" and she comes straight back with "He's lucky to have me."
