yeah, the movieBush is so much more upper class than bookBush. i've chalked this up to actors/directors not doing the appropriate research. i have no idea what anyone did to prepare for the movies, but if i were to jump onto a movie with enough knowledge of early 19th history to be dangerous, i would assume that officers are upper-class dudes. especially when they reply "only my pride" to being jumped by an inferior officer. mcgann admitted that he never read the books, maybe that would have changed his facial expressions and voice tones. (lines we can blame on writers). i'm a big fan of mcgann, but i wish he would have found the time to read the book.
