[Series Completion Plan] "007 Seven: Diamond Diamond"

Robb 2022-03-16 09:01:04

This is the last 007 that Sean Connery starred in, and it is also the most boring one of the first seven I've seen. On the one hand, Sean Connery played several parts in a row (although the sixth part was skipped in the middle), which would cause people to be aesthetically tired, but more importantly, the script was perfunctory. Compared with the relatively exciting episodes, there is neither the tense plot setting in Rolling Thunder, nor the exotic setting in Thunder Valley, nor the emotional expression in The Queen’s Envoy. Not only is the plot mechanical, but the characters are also very pale. . At the same time, the storytelling ability of the director is slightly low, and the whole movie seems to be made up of broken scenes in series, and the taste is the same, so that he fell asleep several times during the filming process.

In this film, Dr. Q did not invent any new equipment for Bond, but made a lot of money on the casino slot machines with his self-made electronic magnetic controller. This technological gimmick is a diamond satellite developed by the villain, which is called an artifact. But even so, the villain still can't beat the bare-handed 007, especially after catching Bond several times, he didn't kill him immediately. Logically, it really doesn't make sense. In fact, similar situations are commonplace in many second-rate movies. When the villains catch the positive characters, they often don't kill them with one shot. Instead, they are locked up and not used as hostages. Eventually, the positive characters escape and ascend to heaven, and they are defeated. This kind of bridge is really speechless, and it also reflects the mediocrity of "Diamond" from another side.

Diamonds Are Forever quotes

  • Shady Tree: [to James Bond... whom, ironically, he has just rescued from Slumber Inc.'s crematorium] You dirty double-crossing limey-fink! Those goddamn diamonds are phonies!

    James Bond: Now, don't tell me: You're St. Peter?

  • James Bond: [Plenty O'Toole enters Bond's hotel room] Well, if you'd like to come in, Plenty.

    Plenty O'Toole: Oh, how pretty, what a super place you have!

    James Bond: Mmm...

    [Plenty kisses him; Bond unzips her purple satin dress and it falls from her, leaving her almost completely naked except for her purple high heels and her transparent pink panties]

    Plenty O'Toole: [holding up a finger, moving back] Just give me one second, lover.

    [she walks into the bedroom]

    James Bond: [Bond picks up her dress and tosses it onto a couch. He turns on a lamp and finds a goon pointing a gun at him] Good evening.

    [other lights come on, revealing another goon, also pointing a gun at him]

    James Bond: Well, I'm afraid you've caught me with more than my hands up.

    Plenty O'Toole: [being forced out of the bedroom by a third goon, her arms folded across her chest protectively] Hey, what the hell is this? A pervert's convention or something?

    [the other goons come over and pick her up, carrying her over to the window]

    Plenty O'Toole: Now listen, you can't do this to me! Stop that! I've got friends in this town!

    [she is thrown out of the window and lands in the pool]
