This 007 is my favorite one of the 6 007 movies in the 1960s. The difference between it and its predecessors caused it to suffer a huge box office loss at the time, and of course it also makes it such a rare pioneer for me now.
For the audience at that time, the first-generation Bond’s romantic and passionate style has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so they cannot accept this restrained and affectionate second-generation Bond; for the current audience, the sixth ideological pioneer is similar to today’s movies. It's not surprising, and it's not outstanding in terms of production alone. But, (There must be a but!)
The content of the first five 007s is very simple to sum up: Bond accepts the task → meets all kinds of beauties → the beauty of the square falls in love with him at first sight, and is thrown behind or implicated and killed after the bed sheet is rolled → the opposite beauty resolutely turns back after the bed sheet is rolled, no The rebellious one was used to block the gun and died → the mission was over, and the surviving beauty continued to sleep.
This kind of plot abounds in today's male frequency network articles: the male protagonist has extraordinary abilities and saves the world while having an affair. To tell the truth, if the male protagonist had not been able to perform well and was not lustful, this kind of three-view film and television works would have to be sprayed into the air. There are no female characters in the first five movies at all. The so-called Bang girls are nothing more than sex tools for masturbation. Even the original Bond actor Sean Connery himself said that he did not like the role, which is probably one of the reasons why he did not continue to play in the sixth part.
The outstanding thing about the sixth part is that it subverts the character and plot. Bond is no longer a wandering wanderer who possesses all-purpose skills but a superb brain, and the Bond girl is no longer a vain vase that lives for sex. The women in the movie are no longer mere decorations, they have begun to have their own character and the role of responsibility-the intelligent lady who rebelled against her father's control fell from the sky and saved Bond in crisis; in the contradiction between Bond and the boss. The gentle secretary, who played an important role, shed tears at Bond's wedding, and even a few female characters with few scenes are cute and clever characters.
According to Baidu, there are two reasons for the film's box office failure. One is that the male lead is not handsome enough and the skills are not cool enough; the other is that everyone can't accept the romantic Bond to get married, and then his wife was killed. Both of these reasons will not be a problem now. Think about it, in Korean dramas, the ugly Obama has captured the hearts of many girls with his gentle and affectionate skill point? Sherlock Holmes, the only woman who was tempted by the smart, Irene, died in the end?
The hateful movie is not at the right time.
Fortunately, the times have been advancing. Nowadays, audiences can view movies in a more civilized, advanced, and gender-equitable way, making straight men's cancer movies nowhere to live.
