007 Growth Series "Casino Royal" + "Quantum Crisis" + "Skyfall" + "Ghost Party" key plots to understand the confusion!

Morgan 2022-03-15 09:01:01

Daniel Craig initially refused to play James Bond because he felt that the series had solved a standard formula, but when he finished reading the script, he changed his mind.

First of all, I want to mention three unpopular tips: 1. The director of "Golden Eye" (1995) is the director of "Casino Royale" (2006), and Martin Campbell opened two different styles of 007 movies; 2. "Casino Royale" is the first 007 movie to land on the Chinese screen in 45 years; 3. The sixth-generation 007 actor Daniel Craig faced the whole network questioning and finished the whole film in one breath.
First encounter, first love forever

Special agent action movies have entered the new century, and the style of painting has gradually become tougher. Next door is the "Bourne Shadow" series that is popular in the world, and the veteran agent series naturally also seek mutations.

"Dr. 007 Connaught"

Since the first 007 set of action/adventure/thriller styles, subsequent successful agent series with similar styles have appeared, such as:

"Mission Impossible" series

And the ones that have had a great impact on this generation of 007:

"The Bourne" series

You can see that, except for the action type, they all have the same type label, which is Thriller .

Thriller can basically be summarized as: The story of the protagonist being forced to rescue himself in Longtan alone because he was involved in a potentially life-threatening event.

Therefore, the elegant image of the fifth-generation 007 Pierce Brosnan was forced to fade away at the beginning of this century. The mature uncle model started by the first-generation Sean Connery can only accompany their omnipotent footsteps. Nostalgia for the classics.

This world needs new heroes.

So the "first generation" Bond, who can better take advantage of thrillers, appeared. He is a fledgling, he is full-blooded, he is proud, he is immature, he may not have talked much about the object...

The British Empire was long gone, and the omnipotent America was hit by 9/11. How can the powerful backing 007 "endanger its life", perhaps the best answer is to go back to the starting point of the original book-telling a real and unreliable James Bond growth series.

ps This article does not want to discuss the pros and cons of Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig. First, after the above-mentioned opening remarks, apart from the environmental impact of changes in the commercial style of the film, it is obvious that the former pays more attention to form, while the latter is closer to reality. While writing and realism have different opinions, one can trace back to classics and modern times, two can trace back to Mélière and Lumière, three traces can trace to performance and reproduction, and four traces can trace back to subjective and objective idealistic material...

The problem that this article wants to solve is mainly : due to the long time span of the four movies "Casino Royale", "Quantum Crisis", "Sky Behind", "Ghost Party" and the upcoming "No Time to Die" released in the sixth generation 007. The narrative of the film is very condensed (a common problem in action movies), which may lead to unclear detailed questions when watching the movie...

Therefore, this article mainly intends to make a complete series of series, thoroughly analyze the relationship between characters, etc., so that friends who like the series can enjoy watching the movie.

Screenshot from "The Ghost Party"

Not much nonsense, let's get started:


1. "Casino Royal"

007: Battle at Casino Royal (2006)
7.6
2006 / United Kingdom, Czech Republic, United States, Germany, Bahamas / Dramatic action thriller / Martin Campbell / Daniel Craig, Eva Green

The film first started in the black and white Czech Republic, showing a key mission for Bond to promote Double O.

Bond is here to kill for the first time, killing two people in total and promoting Agent 00

Then there is the opening song that can be left in the history of the series:

You Know My Name
9.2
Chris Cornell / 2006

It is strongly recommended not to skip this animation when watching movies, because there are many interesting foreshadowings, such as:

Queen of Hearts

Vesper 's face was quickly photographed on a card composed of the queen of hearts and the queen of spades . This is the foreshadowing of the plot: The Queen of Hearts is a symbol of love, and James Bond falls in love with her. The queen of spades is a symbol of doom, and Vesper betrayed James... then Bond turned his head and fired a heart of spades.

Queen of Spades

Turning to Uganda, we can see that our "Uncle Ba" was introduced by the mysterious man Mr. White and successfully collected a wave of money from the local armed forces. (This segment was actually shot outside of London...)

Mr. White appears for the first time

Uncle Ba plays the big villain Le Chiffre in this film, a private banker who specializes in helping illegal organizations to turn money. "Le Chiffre" is a French word, translated into English as "The Number", implying the character's talent for numbers, and can become a strong rival with Bond at the gambling table.

It is said that the original author Ian Fleming shaped the character of Rassiford based on the British occultist Aleister Crowley. He has two obvious dysfunctions in this film: one is for breathing. Inhaler, this is the character trait in the original book; the second is hematuria, some bloody tears will be shown in the later stage of the film, and this is the original work of the two screenwriters of the film.

Rejoicing gray referrals: Ugandan black old iron, Mr. White, Le Chiffre (from left to right)

After the referral was successful, Le Chiffre immediately began a savvy gray investment plan, shorting one million shares of Skyfleet Airlines. That is, using the money of the Ugandan black old iron as a collateral , borrowing one million shares of Skyfleet Airlines, selling them all, and then implementing some gray method to make the company's stock price fall, buying another million shares, and returning them to Skyfleet Airlines. Make a lot of money with the original capital of the mortgage!

I got the money, short another million shares!

In fact, it can be seen from another that Le Chiffre has been laying out this short-selling game for a long time. I don't know how many millions of shares have been invested. It can be said that only success is allowed, not failure!

Furthermore, it can be seen from the later plot that Skyfleet Airlines has just developed a new Skyfleet S570 prototype airliner. The company is in a booming stage, so the stock is very popular, and it is unlikely that it will make money by falling. Therefore, Le Chiffre 's stock operators thought he was crazy and was working against market trends.

Doubtful stock operator

This scene ended with Mr. White's solemn expression.

Mr. White: Boy, you have to do a good job for me!

The camera came to Madagascar (actually filmed in the Bahamas), our muscle bond came up to show a good chase! (This chase is the first scene shot by Daniel Craig after joining the group. The complexity of various scenes made it take several weeks to complete the filming)

Classic chase drama!

However, before this chase scene, there is a repetitive element that will appear many times in the later stage, which is the mobile phone message received by the bomber:

Ellipsis-ellipsis

Then began to chase. The scene use of this chase scene is quite classic, which established this generation of 007's brave and cunning desperate Saburo status. Especially the construction site part, put two pictures to feel its complexity:

From the master's thesis of Southwest Jiaotong University: "The Study of the Film Language of 007 Movie Chasing Scenes"

From: "Becoming James Bond: The Story of Daniel Craig"

After a fierce chase, Bond killed the bomber, bombed an African embassy, ​​obtained the bomber's cell phone, and found out the key message-Ellipsis

Ellipsis-ellipsis, second time, but in the hands of Bond

The first act is over.


The second act begins.

The style of painting changed again, and the beauty came out of the bath. After Le Chiffre played cards with a certain general, his deputy showed him news about Bond killing the Bombboy. The villain casually asked his deputy:

Translation: When will Ellipsis end?

We know that Ellipsis is both a plan and a secret signal. Combined with the previous gray investment plan about shorting Skyfleet airlines, it is not difficult for you to relate the plot trend.

This is the first difficulty in understanding the details of the plot . From the short shares short shares to the need to carry out some kind of gray plan and then to the film Ellipsis hints, this chain is completely presented in the minds of the audience, that is, a kind of subtext that makes you Get a sense of participation and increase the pleasure of watching movies.

When the camera came to London, England, Mrs. M was obviously mad at Bond’s "brave deeds." At the same time, Bond sneaked into Mrs. M’s home, trying to find Ellipsis’s from her laptop with high-level permissions. Related Information.

The results point to the Atlantic island country-Bahamas...

……In a holiday villa hotel called Ocean Club

Then Mrs. M went home and began to educate Bond with earnest words, where the crew gave a small egg about Mrs. M. Mrs. M asked how Bond found her home, and Bond replied:

Translation: I thought M was a random code name, but I didn’t know that it represented...

Then she was interrupted mercilessly by Mrs. M. But here, we can first reveal the real name of Mrs. M, Olivia Mansfield, Olivia Mansfield. Mansfield evolved from "man's field", implying that Mrs. M's work field is the world of men. If you want to have a picture and the truth, you have to wait until the "Death to the Sky" and then cut it for everyone, here is a small foreshadowing~

Then the front moved to Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas.

After a series of Sao operations, Bond locked the target Alex Dimitrios Alex Dimitrios.

Driving Aston Martin's equally arrogant little brother

After reviewing the relevant sources of Alex Dimitrios in the MI6 database , Bond locked his perspective on Le Chiffre .

This process is synchronized to Mrs. M

So the good night was dedicated to a good game. Bond showed his Gamble skills for the first time, winning Alex Dimitrios ' Aston Martin and stalking his Wife.

At the same time, Alex Dimitrios Yacht Night Club Le Chiffre , it turned out that Alex Dimitrios was the middleman who introduced the Bomber Boy. The last Bomber Boy was killed by Bond. He cares about his reputation, so he promised to help Le Chiffre find another Bomber Boy as soon as possible. His Ellipsis plan.

At this point, it is understood that Ellipsis is the main business of Alex Dimitrios , that is, to provide corresponding services to some people who want to complete the shameless plan. Le Chiffre finds Alex Dimitrios , just to ask him to help develop the Ellipsis plan to blow up something.

Translation: Obviously, my husband is catching the last flight to Miami

The camera turned again, and Bond was performing his life-famous intelligence tool. This beautiful wife happened to pick up a call from her husband, letting Bond learn about Alex Dimitrios 's movements, so she set off immediately!

Here I need to mention a little tip: The coastal city of Miami in the southeastern United States is very close to the Bahamas, and the film omitted how to get to the airport and then to Miami.

All the way to Miami, Bond followed Alex Dimitrios to a human body exhibition hall

Alex Dimitrios deposited a package here and put the No. 53 key tag on a stack of chips. Here is a small egg, "53" pays tribute to Ian Fleming's original novel and Playboy magazine in 1953, which has a long history with James Bond movies. In addition, this movie version was released fifty-three years after the novel was published.

"53" number plate for storing parcels

Bond got his mobile phone after fighting with Alex Dimitrios . At this time, it is echoing the announcement that just entered the museum: Sir Hagen's Human World Exhibition invites visitors to observe the different movements, digestion, nerves and vascular systems of the human body... (It can be seen that every line is very expensive)

Alex Dimitrios’ cell phone shows that he has just found another bomb kid to continue the Ellipsis project

The PS 2006 crew really liked Sony Ericsson. Since MGM was part of Columbia Pictures at the time and owned by Sony, the company managed to promote some of its products in this movie.

But after fighting each other, the number plate on the chip was missing. Just a simple thought, you know that the package should be a bomb, but at this time Bond only knows the opponent's mobile phone number. After chasing out the door and crowded, what should I do?

Of course it is calling!

Sure enough, a black-clothed guy who looked like a practicing family answered the phone.

Goal: Bombboy 02

Followed tightly and came to Miami International Airport. (Actually, the airport chase scene was filmed at three different airports in three different countries. They are: Nassau International Airport in Nassau, Bahamas, Dunsfold Aerodrome, Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey, UK, and Ruzyne International Airport in Prague, Czech Republic)

But this 02 guy is obviously not easy. He pretended to buy sunglasses and immediately noticed Bond who was following him from the mirror, and he disappeared inadvertently.

Wit guy

Bond is lost! This is almost unique in the previous series, and it is this that makes the film more real.

I saw guy 02 open the package he got from Alex Dimitrios . Once opened, there was no bomb, but a pile of airport guard clothes.

Previously, there was a plot stop when he passed the airport security gate. Bond watched the young man pass through the security gate like an okay person, and he was deeply puzzled. This is how the screenwriter used the previously inserted Ellipsis project to complete the subtext injection once again , so that you can form your movie-watching expectations .

Plan Ellipsis? Bombboy? There must be a bomb in the package. When the audience triumphantly thinks that they have seen a small foreshadowing, the film uses your expectations to cause a small reversal, which will stimulate your viewing pleasure and watch it down.

Bond was stuck at the door...

Bombboy 02 apparently got the intelligence of Alex Dimitrios , got the code and mixed it into the airport guard room, and Bond had no choice but to request his own "strong" backing-MI6 Intelligence Department and Mrs. M.

Next is a very exciting detail, which must be presented with animated pictures:

Ellipsis turned out to be the access code! Just like the 9-key Pinyin input method!

So far a seemingly simple repetitive element-Ellipsis mobile phone text message, only used 6 short shots to play its full role:

① As a suspense/foreground, it arouses the audience's expectations and arouses interest in watching movies. This expectation can even be deliberately delayed, contrary to the conventional experience of the audience, creating dramatic conflicts and enhancing the narrative effect.

② Linking up and down, threading needles, can be used as a climax, can be used as a motivation for characters, promote the transition of the scene, and guide the trend of the plot.

③Provide text-carrying prop carriers (mobile phones) to attract the benefactor's father.

④The final revelation is a key plot: the access control code, dispel the previous foreshadowing and expectation, and leave the full viewing pleasure in the hearts of the audience.

These meaningful repetitive elements can be called the Motif motif in the movie .

So what is an international first-line blockbuster! The success of this series and even the success of Hollywood blockbusters is not without reason! Would anyone still think that it is very crude and realistic without a formal system?

Then it was time to expose Le Chiffre's gray plan:

That is, the Skyfleet S570 new prototype airliner debuted at Miami International Airport (ps Neil Pinkawa is the main screen graphic artist of this movie and is responsible for making all the simulated web pages in the movie)

In this way, the gray plan of the villain is clearly revealed. Since it is necessary to short Skyfleet's stock price to make money, it will inevitably make the stock price fall. If you send a bomb kid to make a trip to its new machine at the start-up exhibition, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

And Bombboy 02, this guy is really an upgrade, and the keychain is a bomb! But such a small bomb couldn't kill an entire passenger plane, which created a sensational effect that caused the stock price to fall, so he chose to grab a tanker truck and head straight for the passenger plane.

Keychain bomb, strapped to the stolen tanker

Our director himself showed his face a little, playing an airport fuel tanker driver murdered by terrorists...

Director Martin Campbell~

And I took a few more shots very unbridled...

You must be photogenic if you die!

Then there was another time-limiting chase. I have to say that this villain's performance must have borrowed from the liquid metal robot T1000 in "Terminator 2", and the whole story of the bombing of the plane was also affected by 911 (and Affected Nolan's "Creed" to pay tribute to 007). It is said that the price of a certain stock fluctuated abnormally after 9/11, which also triggered the FBI to investigate, and the result was announced as having nothing to do with terrorist organizations.

Tribute to T1000~

Le Chiffre 's gray short-selling plan obviously failed. In the end, Bond tied the little bomb to the waistband of Bomberboy 02. With a clear explosion, several million shares of Le Chiffre followed this guy. The ashes went out.

Le Chiffre's stock operator: The transaction is terminated. I'm sorry, but I still don't know how much money you lost.

But Le Chiffre, who is proficient in numbers, clearly knows how much he lost:

A total of $101,206,000 was lost, one hundred and twenty six thousand U.S. dollars

The second act is over.


The third act begins.

Back at the beach club, Bond found that the beautiful wife who had been flirting with intelligence had been tortured to death, and his eyes showed guilt. Mrs. M came to introduce us to a wave of Alex Dimitrios and Le Chiffre 's relationship, as analyzed above, and injected a tracker into Bond's arm.

After suffering heavy losses, Le Chiffre had to save his life and had to raise money from Uganda’s old iron, so he organized a high-stakes, high-return card game at:

The "Royal Casino" in Montenegro

In view of Le Chiffre 's tension, Mrs. M believes that if he wants to control him, he must be allowed to lose the game and have nowhere to pay back, and then MI6 will come forward to protect him in exchange for everything he knows behind.

So Mrs. M prepared to send Bond to Gamble. The reason was not the depth of his involvement in the project, but:

According to Villiers (Villiers, Mrs. M’s personal assistant, IT man in this film), you are the best gambler in our Secret Service

Then the camera came to the train sequence that can be said to be the most tit-for-tat and the most memorable:

Southern Balkans in Europe: Montenegro

Here Bond will meet a woman whose life is destined to be unforgettable- Vesper Lynd Vesper Lynd .

A match made in heaven

The dialogue begins with an extremely unusual greeting:

Vesper: I am your capital for participating in the gambling game, Bond: You are worth every penny of it

Vesper 's official job is HM (Her Majesty's) Treasury, the International Liaison Officer of the Financial Action Task Force of the British Treasury Department. This line is responsible for monitoring and assisting Bond to use government assets to successfully complete the task.

Civil Servants ID Card

Vesper said that during this trip, the government provided 10 million for your childcare, and she can use another 5 million depending on the situation. Therefore, the heroine of this film is very different from the previous femme fatale, she is really money.

Then the two began to break the ice. Bond showed the other side of his reliability, and said a plausible saying: At the poker table you are not playing cards, but the person sitting opposite you.

Vesper: So you seem to be very good at reading others, Bond: Yes, that’s what I said.

This sentence dispelled some Vesper's concerns about Bond's ability to participate in gambling, and then the style of painting turned to the two's psychological analysis of each other. At first, Bond was still judging each other with a cynical attitude toward other women, but he did not know that this time he ran into a great god. There is a line that can be said to hit Bond's life gate, as follows:

Through the tailoring of your suit, you have been to Oxford or other places, and actually think that people wear it like this, but you wear it so disdainfully, so I guess you are not from the wealthy class, and a friend of your school Never let you forget this feeling. This means that the grace that you can attend that school comes from the charity of others, so you will always have a bargaining chip on your shoulders. As for your first analysis, I thought of orphans, but I think that is your true projection. -Vesper

It can be said that in every article! It is very consistent with the Bond's life experience introduced in the later "Death in the Sky" and "The Ghost Party".

Care from my older brother-from "The Ghost Party"

In the end, Bond shouted helplessly, and could only express his admiration in three words:

Skewered. One sympathizes. ——Bond
It was smashed by (your acrimonious words). what a shame.

After getting out of the car, the two were still talking on the way to the hotel, and finally Bond joked that Vesper was not his type. "Is it because I'm smart?" she asked sarcastically. "Because you are single," he replied coldly.

In fact, Bond seems to be in love with his wife, and the above-mentioned ridicule is a typical duplicity. Because Vesper was eventually discovered to have a boyfriend, she became his double agent for this, and Bond inevitably fell in love with her before he discovered this.

ps revealed at the beginning of "Quantum Crisis" that Vesper didn't know her kidnapped boyfriend Yusef Kabira until his death. Yusuf Kabila (Simon Cassianides) arranged her as a quantum agent from the beginning. while his kidnapping was quantum quantum organization staged to force Vesper become a double agent. But this is all for later.

The picture turned back, and the Bonds (need to hide their identities) came to see their contact person in Montenegro- Rene Mathis . This is a character in the original novel and will continue to appear in "Quantum Crisis" in the future.

This sentence influenced Bond to say the last sentence at the end of the film: My name is Bond. James Bond.

Mathis dismissed the local police chief who had a close relationship with Le Chiffre very lightly , and gave Bond a starter gift.

Everything happened right after their desk

So I returned to the hotel, ready to start the game. The two took this opportunity to choose clothes for each other, and their feelings warmed up~

Can't help but put another Eva Green's face~

Came to the Royal Casino, sure enough, Le Chiffre already knew the identity of Bond on this trip, as Bond expected, it seems that he is going to fight to the death.

The gangsters meet for the first time

Before the start of the gambling game, a Swiss banker who took care of the money in the game first introduced the rules: there were 11 people in the game, each of whom deposited 10 million U.S. dollars first, and then wire transfers 5 million U.S. dollars later according to the situation. The winner takes all, so that the guaranteed winner can earn $110 million, and almost all of Le Chiffre's loss can be earned back.

Everyone needs to enter a password on the custodian’s security suitcase. Finally, the password entered by the winner can be used to transfer the proceeds to any account in the world. Because Bond has the highest alphabetical arrangement of his name, he took the lead to enter the password first. At this time, something interesting happened:

Bond smiled and entered the 6-character password corresponding to Vesper

However, when acting here, the hero Daniel Craig made a mistake. The password entered should be VESPER (837737), but the password he entered is 836547...

The first half of the game began.

Le Chiffre showed great pressure on the gambling table, as if everything was like trying to get something. Even though Bond lost the card, he still peeked into a mystery:

Le Chiffre will twitch the left eye with hematuria when bluffing

So Bond deliberately called the bartender to make a glass of his own difficult wine, which drew everyone eager to drink, and made fun of Le Chiffre .

This glass of wine is taken from the original novel, which Bond later named Vesper. It consists of three parts of Gordon Gin (Gordon is Bond's choice), one part of vodka [bond's preferred grain vodka (Absolut)] and half of Kina Lillet aperitif. Shake the ingredients on ice until cold, put them in a cocktail glass, and garnish with a slice of lemon zest, which is extremely elegant and noble~

Then Bond walked to the bar and told Vesper and Mathis of his discovery ( Le Chiffre 's bluff) , and finally borrowed a miniature bug from Mathis . During the intermission, he secretly stuffed the device into Le Chiffre 's inhalation with the help of its cover . Inside.

Gamble for 4 hours, take advantage of the opportunity to plug bugs

The Le Chiffre suffered a major crisis, Uganda's old black iron came to him for money ......

Really a little embarrassed

Bond eavesdropped on the situation and went upstairs to inspect it, only to be discovered by the two blacks. In desperation, together with Vesper who could not evacuate, he helped Le Chiffre solve his major crisis...

The second half of the game began.

Until that day, the gambling was over, and another 4 hours passed. Bond hurried back to the room to check Vesper's situation, only to find that she was already wet and cold in the shower. As a civilian, Vesper has just witnessed a cruel death not long ago, and then there is a very loving scene:

Bond puts the clammy Vesper in his arms, and the two heat up again (ps There was an erotic suggestion in the original script that both of them were wearing underwear, but Daniel Craig thought it was obviously inappropriate, so he persuaded the director to change to himself The desired fragments in the film sublimate the plot of the whole film: the two fell in love with each other at that moment... This scene was over)

Early the next morning, Bond went to the Mathis balcony to check the handling of two Ugandan old iron corpses. Our old oilman Mathis taught Bond another lesson.

Conspiracy composition

When Mathis dialed the phone casually, one of Le Chiffre 's right-hand man was taken away by the police again, and once again gave Bond a big gift.

Translation: Dead people are also useful

The gambling game started the next day, and there were only 9 people left at the gambling table.

As the bet increased, Le Chiffre began to show signs of bluff (bluffing, that is, his cards are not good, and he pretends to be strong and raises to force others not to follow). At this time, Bond has a good hand (A, K), combined with the cards, there is great hope of winning.

The river card is out, and the last round of betting begins. This is the five community cards on the table. Bond and Le Chiffre need to combine these five cards to make the best pair based on the two hole cards in their hands. Combination of five cards

Bond's (A, K) can be combined with the cards to play a full house of 3K2A (can be understood as three with two)

Put a piece of NetEase Texas Hold'em rules for easy understanding

Both sides bet anxiously, and finally came to the critical moment, Bond and Le Chiffre all-in! But what was unexpected was that Le Chiffre had double Js and played a wave of four (J, J, J, J), overwhelming Bond's three-and-two gourd, and Bond was out.

This wave of operations can be said to have predicted your prediction: You must think that I am bluffing, Mr. Bond

ps Actually there is already a problem here. Bond only told Vesper and Mathis before that he saw Le Chiffre ’s bluff, so here is my prediction of your prediction, or I (you know me with the help of an undercover agent) The bluff) predicted your prediction, or did I guide you to predict me, and thus predict your prediction... You can make a bold guess. (So ​​Texas Hold'em is a psychological warfare)

In short, Bond failed again... His arrogance caused the British Treasury Department to suffer heavy losses, not to mention the recent warming relationship with Vesper . So Vesper refused to provide him with an additional $5 million wire transfer based on his current situation (in fact, he wanted him to stop quickly and not obstruct Le Chiffre ).

Unable and extremely angry, Bond returned to the hall and watched Le Chiffre walk through the crowd proudly. After a moment of anger, he picked up a knife and prepared to kill the grandson!

Fortunately, I was stopped by an old black man at the gambling table: My name is Felix Wright, and I am a friend of yours from Langley.

This person's name is Felix Leiter and he is from Langley, USA. Friends who have watched "Mission Impossible 1" know that this person must be an agent of the CIA (the CIA is headquartered in Langley, Virginia, and he will also be featured in "Quantum Crisis" not even released in "No Time to Die" Appeared~

Felix Leiter said that their interests are the same, and their goals are Le Chiffre . However, his card skills were not good enough and he couldn't last long, so he prepared to bet on Bond and let Bond use his money to play on his behalf. The conditions are:

CIA wants to take Le Chiffre away

As for the money...

You are free, do you look at us as if we are short of money...

The gambling begins again!

Bond has come back and forth, and quickly smashed the original few chips to equalize with Le Chiffre .

At this time, Le Chiffre also started to spoil him, pouring poison into Bond's wine through his blonde girlfriend, trying to hit Bond hard.

The styling of Le Chiffre's girlfriend almost always designed her hair to cover her left eye, because she hid her eyes in order to respect his eyes damaged by hematuria.

And Bond was indeed caught. The poisoned alcohol made his heart rate fast. After detecting the poisoning, Bond immediately got up and ran to the Aston Martin luxury car with rescue equipment. After the guidance of the headquarters' logistics staff, Vesper rushed in time. With the help he received, Bond passed the crisis smoothly. (Although it is very thrilling...)

The camera cuts back to the gaming table. Felix Leiter was also finished by Le Chiffre . Fortunately, Bond returned with a look of sarcasm. After so many twists and turns, the final battle finally kicked off!

Le Chiffre

The big blind came to $1 million, and there were only 4 people on stage. It was another round of deja vu final betting.

Obviously it can be seen that this may be a duel between a straight flush and four aces.

With the two supporting actors All-in all-in, Bond and Le Chiffre looked at each other for a while and then said they also all-in. At this time, Le Chiffre quietly looked at his card:

1A16, you can combine five cards on the table to play a 3A26 full house

So he happily went all-in...

At this time, there are 150 million chips on the table. If Le Chiffre wins the game, he can fill in the holes and make a small profit. This can explain why he is so excited.

The exciting time came. First, a Japanese made five Flush flushes, and then the black chubby hit a three-eight-two a gourd. Le Chiffre confidently overwhelmed the black chubby gourd (three-a two-six) and arrived at Bond. .

As expected, he hit a straight flush... (45678 of spades)

In fact, seeing the five community cards on the table, Bond's hole cards have been won, because apart from the 5 and 7 of spades, there is no card that can make a straight flush, let alone a straight flush.

As for why the four aces were not able to play a straight flush, it may have been badly played by the previous gambling movies, so Le Chiffre ended up with only one full house...

Anyway, Le Chiffre lost, blood began to ooze from the corner of his eyes, and he left the table angrily.

Felix Leiter congratulated Bond and said he was going to get Le Chiffre back to Langley, so Bond and Vesper happily went to dinner.

At the dinner table, Vesper glanced at his phone, turned his head solemnly and said:

Mathis said that American Felix Leiter has contacted Le Chiffre and will take him away before dawn tomorrow

Bond officially named the wine he used to mock Le Chiffre as Vesper , and he did not notice any abnormality in Vesper's tone and demeanor.

Bond then said that he saw what the necklace Vesper was wearing:

This is a kind of Algerian love lock (here we can recall the Bond's view of love mentioned above...)

But Vesper explained that she only wore it when she looked good at it... but was pierced mercilessly by Bond:

No, you know the meaning of this thing, he (your boyfriend) is a very lucky man

Then Vesper quickly changed the subject and asked Bond why he didn't get out of his body and stopped killing. Bond apparently didn't want to be turned away, and responded:

I think something is holding you back, and I may never find out what it is

The short silence was broken by Vesper 's cell phone ringtone. She said Mathis needed to see her, and then congratulated Bond again on walking out of the restaurant.

Since this is a Q&A essay, we may need to emphasize a certain question here: Did Mathis betray the organization and cause Vesper to be arrested later ?

We can see that the whole conversation Vesper has been full of thoughts since receiving the SMS, combined with the omniscience perspective mentioned earlier (ps at the beginning of "Quantum Crisis" revealed that Vesper didn't know her kidnapped boyfriend Yusef until her death. Kabira Yusuf Kabila (played by Simon Cassianides) arranged her as a quantum agent from the beginning, and his kidnapping was staged by the Quantum organization to force Vesper to become a double agent. But all of this It's a later story .) It can be concluded that all of Vesper's mention of Mathis is a cover. The truth is that she will be forced to start some action to force Bond to spit out the money she just won.

And our poor Bond got caught ... He and American agent Felix Leiter met and reached an agreement by accident on the stairs. How could Mathis, a British person, know about this?

Previously, the attention was focused on the beauty. As soon as the beauty left and tasted a little wine, she realized that something was wrong.

Sure enough, he rushed out of the hotel and found that Vesper had been tied to a car. Bond once again got into Aston Martin, chased after him, and then overturned...

Putting the beautiful Vesper in the middle of the road, this trick really hurts

This stunt broke a world record that year: Aston Martin DBS's car roll stunt broke the world record for the most rollovers of the impact gun assisted vehicle. Initially, the racing-specific DBS meant that a standard ramp would not be enough for the car to roll, so the special effects team was asked to install an aerodynamic cannon behind the driver’s seat, which prompted the car to complete seven full rolls. This stunt officially entered the Guinness World Records on November 5, 2006. (Friends who are interested can count by themselves...)

Then Bond, who was hit hard, was caught by Le Chiffre, and the tracker injected in his arm was also shot out.

Then Le Chiffre said a very guiding word to Bond:

I'm afraid your friend Mathis actually...

……Is my friend

For Mathis whether what is a traitor, we defer to the table.

After that, Bond was taken to obediently smoke eggs...

A big hole was dug under the chair, and it was beautifully pumped...

Le Chiffre obviously wants Bond's winner-take-all password so that the money can be successfully transferred to any account in the world.

Vesper has the account and Bond has the password, so both of them are indispensable

But our Bond is very supportive... and even said it's a little itchy... Then he said with joy:

Translation: Now the whole world will know that you were still scratching my balls before you died (hahahahahahahahaha)

Just as Bond was out of control, Mr. White arrived in time, not to save Bond, but to kill the Quantum Organization. In the opening movie , the deal between Uganda Lao Tie and Le Chiffre was introduced by Mr. White , and the deal must have been more than once. As a private banker of the black organization, Le Chiffre obviously wasted the last chance given by the organization when he lost the gambling game. Mr. White said:

For our organization, the value of trust is greater than money

Then Le Chiffre fell to the ground in response to the gunshot, and sure enough, he would be remembered for tickling someone’s egg before he died...

The third act is over.


The fourth act begins.

In a subjective scene, Bond slowly woke up from a rehabilitation hospital in Lake Como, Italy, and opened his eyes as if he saw Vesper and Mathis ...

But apparently Bond had deeply thought Mathis was a traitor, and then fell asleep again

Then the screenwriter arranged Mathis to look like an old god, dressed like a spy, and asked Bond:

Why did the quantum organization keep you two alive

It can be seen that the film especially wants to answer the audience's questions. Yes, why did Mr. White keep Bond and Vesper alive?

Obviously, the reason can only be money.

Vesper has an account, and Bond has a password. When the two are combined, 100 million pairs are distributed.

Later, after various forms of spy speeches, Mathis was called by Bond to go away...

Poor Mathis

In fact, even without the perspective of God from watching "Quantum Crisis" (Mathis was innocent, and then was helplessly electrocuted, investigated, and retired), we can see that there is something obviously wrong with this style of style.

Because any serious deviation from the overall style of the film is a special need of the plot.

For example, here, Mathis wears like a spy, expresses like a spy (ask Bond, did you see the face of the person who killed Le Chiffre ? Do you remember any extra circumstances?), behaves like a spy (to Bond I poured a glass of water and asked him to drink it. On the contrary, he is not a spy.

This close-up, this focus, this expression...

The biggest difference between "Casino Royale" and the previous series is that it wants to learn from the "Bourne Bourne" series to give peo
