Troy (2004) Role: Oddysseus Betrayal: He hasn't made a sequel yet! Outlaw (2007) Role: Bryant (I can't remember his first name) an ex-soldier. Betrayal: He dies... I mean WTF!!?!?! He doesn't even take that many people down with him. Also he randomly strings that guy up and shoots him in the knee? Not to mention sparing Furlong, he basically sentenced poor Bob Hoskins to death. Equilibrium (2002) Role: Errol Partridge Betrayal: See above Sure he is a sly devil but we must remember how nice he was in Sharpe... appart from stealing his friend's girl. Sharpe's Waterloo Role: Richard Sharpe (I mean come on, if you don't know who he is then just...) Betrayal: Steals Frederikson's girl, sure I'll admit that she didn't relly like the guy but he needed omeone didn't he! And finally Goldeneye (1995) Role: Alec Trevelyan Betrayal: His RP accent was hilarious... but seriously did he need to die? In conclusion I would say that all films that Sean Bean dies in are in fact betrayals so we should all just sit down and watch Sharpe. He is an absolutely class guy however he does betray his fans a bit eg.

Role: Oddysseus
Betrayal: He hasn’t made a sequel yet!

Outlaw (2007)

Goldeneye (1995)

You know who's cast as Lady Macbeth in Come Like Shadows? Tilda Swinton! There's ANOTHER person who keeps being typecast as the cold bitchy betrayer. That's it. The next movie I make is going to be a cute romantic comedy with Sean Bean and Tilda Swinton as the leads. And no murder. Okay, I’m coming to this party nine months late, but…

Now about this issue of "betrayal" - granted in the films "Island" and "Lorna Doone" he played villians...but in the rest of the films you alleged he is a "betrayer" he didn't do anything wrong. In "Chatterly" he clearly didn't "seduce" the wife - she practically threw herself at him, plus her husband was pretty rotten to the core - in "Anna Karenina" it was also a MUTUAL romance not a seduction - Vronsky doesn't drive to suicide Anna - since she was already quite high strung from the very beginning of the film - remember Anna Karenina was addicted to opium/laudunum, which is what drove her over the edge, plus her endless self-pity. He plays lots of villians in movies, but in real life he's a pretty decent person. But I enjoyed reading your posts and they were pretty entertaining.
