Sean Bean

Post by Sunsilver »

I honestly could NOT figure out where to put this, so I gave it its own thread. I actually was briefly tempted to put it under the "Band of Heaven" thread, but thought that might be insulting to actors and musicians who have died in real life.

After being killed 23 times Sean Bean refuses to die on screen again:

I can't say that I blame him! :D :D
When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose.

"Does anyone ever think about Denethor, the guy driven to madness by staying up late into the night alone in the dark staring at a flickering device he believed revealed unvarnished truth about the outside word, but which in fact showed mostly manipulated media created by a hostile power committed to portraying nothing but bad news framed in the worst possible way in order to sap hope, courage, and the will to go on? Seems like he's someone we should think about." - Dave_LF

I think you did right to put in in its own thread, Sunny. I saw this other the day too, and thought it was funny.

Yov, I've seen only 3 of his death scenes (GoT, Goldeneye and LOTR). And I have to say, Boromir's death scene was certainly one of the most moving scenes in LOTR.

Will note I've seen perhaps the only show he doesn't die in - Sharpe! Probably why he continually references it in everything else he does :rofl:

Sean Bean is a champion mumbler. I couldn't understand much of what he said in LOTR, and ditto for Sharpe. Unfortunately, Sharpe was before the days of closed captions... :roll:

For Fellowship of the Ring, when I complained about not being able to hear what he said, some kind soul on one of the Tolkien boards referred me to a site that had a complete copy of the script's dialogue!
:love:

I wasn't able to experience the full impact of that scene until I purchased the extended edition of the Lord of the Rings films when it was released after Return of the King came out. I recall tearing up...

Sean says that was his favourite death scene.
