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

Skyfall

Continue from above?: "Quantum Crisis"

2012 is a very special node for the 007 series, because it is not only the end of the world in the Mayan prophecy, but also the year of Skyfall.

There was another major event in the same year, and that was the London Olympics:

And the one who actually jumped is definitely not the real queen.

This fake parachute jump was broadcast live on the Olympic scene with a real clip. In the live event, our Bond finally served the Queen in real life.

It can be seen the influence of the 007 series in the UK.

Back to the video.

"Skyfall" can actually be seen from the English title "Skyfall", full of art. The title is not taken from any of Ian Fleming's original works like the first two "Casino Royale" and "Quantum of Solace". Screenwriters Neil Purvis and Robert Wade came up with the title "Skyfall" at two o'clock in the morning. Neil and Robert once said:

We need an unforgettable place name, and I just picked it from the sky. As a result, it resonated with filmmakers. ——Neal Purvis & Robert Wade

This is the only Bond film whose title is directly provided by the screenwriting team. Producer Barbara Broccoli once said: The series "will continue to tell other different stories from now on" (but does not rule out the continued relationship with the quantum organization).

As for why the titles have become so literary, it is because the film has hired a very literary director-Sam Mendes.

This person won the 72nd Oscar for Best Director Award for his screen debut "American Beauty". He and the famous photographer Roger Diggins recently swept the majors with the "One Mirror to the End" "1917". Nominations and awards at the award ceremony. It is such a wizard who, under his leadership, injected a new retro style of melancholy and elegance into the 007 series, and helped the film set the highest number of nominations in one fell swoop at the 2013 Oscars, becoming the most nominated for Oscars. James Bond film series (five nominations: best photography, song, soundtrack, mixing, sound editing, two awards: sound editing, soundtrack). And this is the first Bond film nominated for an Oscar in 30 years (Hollywood action blockbuster is rarely favored by awards).

As for the reason for choosing him to be the director of the new 007 film, it may be due to insufficient funds... Due to MGM’s 2010 bankruptcy and delayed sales, during the pre-production period, Mendes was only hired as a consultant by the company to avoid direct Pay him the real director's fees that are classified as productions. The development and production of "Death by Sky" was postponed for nearly nine months between 2010 and 2011, and the project was once suspended indefinitely. During this period, despite the cancellation of financing, some of the film’s development and pre-production work continued, with the goal of having this James Bond film be released on the 50th anniversary of the series (2012). Fortunately, the film resumed production in January 2011.

According to reports, Daniel Craig offered Mendes the position of director at a party, and then arranged for Mendes to meet with the producer, and the opportunity began there. As an old boy, Mendes owns a die-cast model car of the Bond Aston Martin DB5, which inspired him to include this car in this film.

Such a literary director naturally needs enough time to explain a story full of literary art. This work became the second longest Bond movie in history at 2 hours and 23 minutes, and the longest one was "Casino Royale" (2006), which lasted 2 hours and 24 minutes. However, the record was subsequently broken by "The Ghost Party" (2015) with a time of 2 hours and 28 minutes, but unsurprisingly, the new record will be broken again at the end of this year, because the official announcement of "No Time to Die" (2021 ) Is 163 minutes, or 2 hours and 43 minutes, which is the longest Bond movie ever.

On the contrary, the shortest Bond film series so far is "Quantum Crisis" (2008), which has a release time of only 1 hour and 46 minutes...

Speaking of the story of the film, there is also a very interesting thing in it:

According to director Sam Mendes, the story and style of "Desperado" are inspired by Christopher Nolan's "Batman: The Mystery of Shadow" (2005) and "Batman: The Dark Knight" (2008). huge influence.

These effects can be seen in a group of critics comparing the mood after watching the movie to "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" (2012). Interestingly, the recurring line in "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" (2012) is "permission to die", which was also the title of the James Bond comic book in 1989. At the end of the movie, Bond stands on the roof of a building, holding the flag of England and looking at London, which is also reminiscent of Batman perching on the roof and looking at Gotham City. (Ps Nolan often said that the classic James Bond movies influenced his Dark Knight trilogy. So it can be said that Bond inspired Batman, and Batman inspired Bond !)

Regarding this obvious cycle of tribute, Mendes said: "In terms of (Nolan's) achievements, especially the second part of the series, "Batman: The Dark Knight" (2008), its achievements are extraordinary. The thing that changed the rules of the game for every filmmaker. Nolan proved that you can make a thrilling and interesting Hollywood blockbuster, and you can also squeeze the director’s metaphors of real life into it."

Obviously the success of Nolan fellow has inspired our leading literary film director Sam Mendes:

So there is the next film "Death by Sky", which is obviously different from the series and has fresh elements. And practice has proved that this transformation is a bet! In the end, the film won $1 billion at the box office and became the first James Bond series to be among the world's $1 billion club.

Don’t talk nonsense, let’s start again~

3. "Death to the Sky"

The beginning of the film focuses on a corridor in Istanbul, Turkey's largest city.

Then Bond entered the house, and it seemed that someone had killed his companion in the house and took a hard drive.

But before Bond had time to deal with the injury of an agent named Ronson , Mrs. M scolded him and hurried to catch up with the murderer. Obviously, the information in this hard drive was very important.

Then there is a car chase sequence, which is the same as the opening of "Quantum Crisis". However, Bond was not carrying Mr. White this time , but was carried by a female agent:

Naomi Harris, the actor of Eve Moneypenny , was 35 years old when she appeared in the film (2011) and is one of the oldest actresses to play a major Bond girl. Daniel Craig, who plays Bond, is not young. He was 43 years old when he was born in 68. The most dedicated person is Judy Dench, who was 77 years old when he played Mrs. M in this movie. This is also the seventh time Dench played M.

In the face of such an elderly team, although Daniel Craig began to prepare for fitness about six months before filming, the plot of this film still makes certain arrangements for Bond's physical function. Let's look at it first.

After a while, Eve Moneypenny 's Land Rover Defender stopped the villain's Audi A5s. But this car scene was actually filmed by a stuntman driving on the roof of the car:

This is a vehicle sports shooting platform called Go Mobile, created by the production team of the Bourne Shadow series, and strives to restore the most realistic car chase scene. In this film, friends who often watch the veteran British car show "The Pinnacle" may know that the stuntman sitting on the roof of the car is the former "Stig" Ben Collins, who is 50 miles per hour (per hour). 80 kilometers) driving in the crowded streets of Istanbul. Many British rally racing champions such as Mark Higgins (Mark Higgins) is the stand-in for the Bond girl. Basically all the wide-angle shots are of him driving the Land Rover Defender through the traffic.

After the car chase is over, the motorcycle chase follows. Bond and the villain agents continue to shuttle through the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul.

This is one of the largest and oldest bazaars in the world, with 61 streets, attracting up to 400,000 visitors every day and more than 3,000 shops. (Ps In the motorcycle chase, Coca-Cola was sprayed on the streets of Istanbul to prevent vehicles from sliding. Although Coca-Cola is not an official product in the movie, there is a Coca-Cola Zero marketing related to the movie. However, Coke Zero may not be as effective because The sugar in normal Coca-Cola makes the ground thicker...)

With the joint efforts of the venue department, production design department, art department and props department, the market was set up all night on Saturday night, which looked like the real feedback people expected from the scene. 500 local Turkish personnel were taken into the Grand Bazaar, providing the usually crowded and lively atmosphere here. The roof of the bazaar is a spectacular platform for viewing Istanbul’s ancient and vibrant skyline. In order to protect and preserve the historic buildings of the Grand Bazaar, the crew made every effort, including adding floating steel roof slabs to the existing ceramic tiles to protect the original structure.

Due to the danger of this chase sequence, the crew could only enter the filming on Sunday, when the market was closed, and it took about two months in total. This actually includes three months of rehearsal, four months of preparation, 200 crew members from the UK and another 200 local film crews to produce a final film presentation of approximately 12 to 14 minutes.

It is worth mentioning that the narrow roof of Bond and the villain’s motorcycle was also used in the 2009 International Race Walking Competition.

Since clothing is mentioned, it is worth mentioning that this work continues the partnership with American fashion giant Tom Ford after "Quantum Crisis". There are a total of eighty-five versions of the James Bond Tom Ford suit, which is customized for the opening chase sequence. Among them, 30 pictures were tailored for Daniel Craig, and 30 pictures were made for his stand-in and stunt stand-in. Each version of these suits is specially made for a specific scene of the opening sequence. For example, Craig wore a long-sleeved suit while riding a Honda CRF250R motorcycle so that the clothes would not lift on his forearms. (And this is the first time Bond has been seen wearing a gray suit instead of a black suit)

After a fierce chase, Bond and the villain who stole the hard drive got on the train, and were unfortunately shot while operating the excavator:

Then there is a show operation to transfer the vehicle:

Then they scuffled to the top of the train:

Bond girl Eve Moneypenny also rushed to the other side of the foothills to cover Bond.

After that, Mrs. M showed the cruelty that the mission is more than everything, and ordered the shot. (Obviously the lost hard drive is too important, more important than Bond...)

Then, with the help of the water flow, "Skyfall" was once again promoted, and another opening song that can be remembered in history slowly sounded in the film...

...Adele's Skyfall:

Here I will briefly list some of the more well-known tips of this song:

1. Adele's "Skyfall" won the first Oscar for best original song for the James Bond film series.

2. "Skyfall" is the first James Bond theme song to enter the top ten of the BillBoard music chart in the United States, ranking eighth. The album sold 261,000 copies in the United States within the first three days of its release. Ranked fourth on the British singles chart within 48 hours, and ranked second in the following week. It became a British single with the former record holder Duran Duran’s "Go through Fire" sung for "Death by Thunder". The highest Bond song in history. The song sold 84,000 copies in the first two days in the UK, sold 92,000 copies in a week, and reached the top of the UK iTunes charts within ten hours. The song was still in the first day of global release, and it entered the top ten iTunes rankings in 21 countries. Among them, Belgium, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden also ranked first.

3. The theme song sung by Adele is Madonna's first Bond song with the same name as the movie since "Death Another Day" (2002).

4. The song "Skyfall" was released at 0:07a.m., London time, October 5, 2012 (7:07 p.m., October 4, Beijing time). This move is to commemorate the release of "Dr. No" after the release of 007 The 50th anniversary of the birth of the film.

5. Adele became pregnant while recording the theme song. In an interview with the BBC, she said that pregnancy hormones made her voice deeper, which is why her singing in this song can be so low. She also said that it is now impossible to reproduce the low tone of the time.

The first act is over.

The second act begins.

Mrs. M is writing Bond's obituary...

After that, the camera gave a close-up of a porcelain statue of a bulldog on Mrs. M's desk for about 2 seconds (placed facing outside the desk):

Then Mrs. M went to meet a senior official who had just taken office:

From their conversation, we know that it has been three months since the hard drive was lost, and that hard drive stores all the information of the agents of the NATO project (a plan to respond to a global terrorist organization). The leakage of information may affect their lives.

And Gareth Mallory this call Mrs. M is an important reason to come:

But Mrs. M did not appreciate this love, the reason is also very simple:

So Mrs. M was ready to return to the headquarters in anger, but received a call from Department Q on the way. They said:

Dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head. So MI6 also immediately tracked the decryptor's signal, and synchronously fed it back to Mrs. M, and found that...

Mrs. M’s assistant Tanner said that the data packet was connected to the headquarters’ network and was sent from behind the headquarters’ firewall. Then M immediately ordered to trace its source to see whose computer it was sent from. The result was even more unexpected... it was sent from Mrs. M's computer. So Mrs. M ordered the computer to be shut down immediately, and a hacker animation popped up:

Obviously, the man behind the scenes was someone who knew Mrs. M and launched a revenge operation against her and MI6.

When Mrs. M approached MI6 headquarters, she unexpectedly was stopped by the police, so M asked Jaguar:

With the cooperation and assistance of the Office of the Mayor of London and Transport for London, the production team was able to close the Vauxhall Bridge during the shooting of this explosion scene so that Mrs. M could witness the terrorist attack on MI6 headquarters. The explosion at the MI6 headquarters used several fireworks on that day as the main shot, but then a miniature model of MI6 was built on the location of Pinewood Studios at a ratio of one-third. Chris Ko, who has long served as a special effects expert for 007 movies Boulder, the special effects and miniature effects supervisor for this movie, used 28 explosives to replicate the attack in the close-up.

Then the camera turned, we found Bond and a beautiful woman making each other by the sea somewhere in Turkey. Obviously Bond survived the catastrophe, but did not report back to the headquarters and enjoyed three months of retirement.

In this state, I don’t know how long I went to the bar to drink again. Bond found an abnormality in a daily news report:

So the camera cut back to London again. After attending the funeral of at least six casualties, Mrs. M returned home with the most bereavement...

And Bond’s last illegal visit was in "Casino Royal" (2006): Interesting to see?: "Casino Royal"

At that time, Mrs. M told Bond not to see him secretly coming to her home, but at this time, M, who was obviously depressed, got a wave of emotions with the appearance of Bond, and she didn't care about that much anymore.

After seeing each other again, Bond naturally complained about Mrs. M's decision to shoot at that time, but he was still bewildered by M's various ruthless reasons...

From the conversation, we once again know that Bond is an orphan (because he was officially deemed dead because he had no relatives, even his property was taken away by the government, and he is currently homeless...), which also proves that Vesper is with the state. The psychoanalysis when De first met is correct:

Then Bond, who looked stubborn and drunk, returned to Shibie's headquarters for many months. He needed to pass physical and psychological tests again before joining the job.

On the way Tanner (the assistant of Mrs. M who appeared from "Casino Royale", but did not have a strong sense of existence before) told the story of the attack on Bond headquarters, saying that someone hacked into the headquarters system and planned a terrorist attack against MI6. I also specially retrieved Mrs. M's files, and it can be said that I know Mrs. M well, but there is no sign of assaulting her yet. This shows that the villain wants to intimidate a wave of Mrs. M first, and this person is very likely to have been hurt by M before he can do so.

Bond then went with the car to MI6’s new temporary headquarters. This was a hidden place built underground and part of Churchill’s bunker during World War II. Its main function was to shield the villain’s powerful cyber intrusion technology.

Tanner told Bond that he would see Mrs. M tomorrow, as well as Gareth Mallory , the government’s new chairman of the Intelligence and Security Committee.

Not only the headquarters is new, the leadership is new, and even the villain situation reported by Tanner is new and cannot be new.

Finally, after a few days of physical fitness tests, Bond showed an old attitude:

In the next shooting session, Bond also showed poor physical fitness:

The last question-and-answer psychological test is even more unscrupulous:

Bond's current state is actually very suitable to apply Kira Yoshikage's self-introduction:

My name is James Bond, I am 43 years old and I am currently homeless.

He is not married, and works in the Sixth Division of Army Intelligence. For the past three months, he has no fixed place every night.

I don’t smoke, drink alcohol, I never go to bed at 11 o’clock every day, I either accompany a woman or go to a bar. (Even drinking while playing with scorpions can be said to be holding scorpions)

This is almost as soon as drunk until dawn, waking up in the morning like a baby, without any vitality.

The results of the physical examination are naturally abnormal.

This is to show that I want to live a life of retirement.

But there was an accident between Mrs. M and the headquarters, and I had to come back anyway.

This is my attitude towards this society, and I know that this is my own responsibility.

However, I won’t lose to anyone if I really want to do it...

Life is meaningless, leaving only duties and responsibilities. Bond’s mourning that is everywhere is actually half of the theme of the film. It is particularly like the male lead in another film by the director:

A kind of person who is boring and boring to the world in middle age. Swim at sunrise, dance at sunset, sing songs every night, and work hard every day. I have seen the hard and happy busy life, and there is no direction in my heart. Especially if he was shot once again by the country he was loyal to, he would naturally fall into this state. And this kind of fatigue of middle-class middle-aged men is the selfishness of director Alfonso Cuarón. Looking back at his movies, he particularly likes to express the life state of this type of role.

Then Bond returned to his residence and took a knife to scavenge the remains of the bullet remaining on his right chest, and handed it to the inspector for inspection.

The next day is the announcement day of the physical and cardiac test results. Bond went to see Mrs. M and Gareth Mallory , during which he met Eve Moneypenny . After apologizing and ridiculing the two, they learned that Eve Moneypenny was transferred after "shooting" Bond and currently works in the office of Gareth Mallory .

Followed by the tripartite talks:

Mrs. M told Bond that he passed the test (actually failed). Immediately after, Gareth Mallory and Mrs. M had a dispute over Bond’s performance. Mallory believed that Mrs. M had an emotional dependence on Bond, and felt that it was a game for young people. Bond should continue to pretend to retire. It wasn't that he came to be strong, and made a ruthless remark before leaving:

It can be seen that Bond did not leave a good impression on this late new M...

Then start talking about business. Tanner reported on Bond’s analysis of the right chest shrapnel:

After analyzing three suspects, Bond pointed out him directly:

And through clues provided by the CIA friend, this person was wanted by the US for the murder of the Yemeni ambassador, so the US found out where Patrice would act next: Shanghai! But before the action, Mrs. M asked Bond to report to the new Quatermaster quartermaster and get some equipment.

So Bond went to see the new Q at the National Gallery.

Not only the scene art, but even the painting hanging in front of Bond and Q is also a message the director wants to convey to the audience. This painting is the work "The Fighting Temeraire" (English name: The Fighting Temeraire) created by JMW Turner in 1839. It depicts the scene of the Temeraire being towed from Hillness to the disintegration of Hayes. The main motive of Turner's painting is to arouse people's sense of loss of the demise of a once glorious battleship. This is reminiscent of the theme of this movie, that is, the elderly warrior Mrs. M and Bond, falling from the sky...

And our new Q is exactly:

Ben Westshaw is the fourth actor to play Q in the official James Bond series . And it marks the first time Q is younger than James Bond.

The producer said: “When it comes to trying to reintroduce the role of Q , it makes sense that he is now a young technical genius, and this role was written with this in mind.” Westshaw’s Q was compared to He is a computer genius similar to Jack Dorsey (founder of Twitter), Mark Zuckerberg (founder of Facebook) and others.

Then is the time for the young and old to match CP:

After a period of conversation between the souls of Generation X and Generation Y, the two began a close cooperation. Then Q gave Bond a new gun:

And a positioning transmitter:

Then there was no soul. When Bond missed those exploding cars and jet planes, Q said instead:

It may be that this line completely annoyed Matthew Vaughan, and then he made the new era hedonic agent film "Ace Agent: Secret Service Academy" (2014).

The second act is over.

The third act begins.

The camera arrives in Shanghai.

Patrice appeared at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, and our Bond had already received information and was waiting here:

After leaving the airport, the villain took a taxi to go somewhere, and Bond drove to follow.

Patrice then entered the "corkscrew" of one of the three tall buildings in Lujiazui-Shanghai World Financial Center.

Bond tried his own PPK fingerprint in the car to unlock it, and saw that Patrice killed the security of the building. He obviously wanted to carry out some kind of assassination mission here.

Then Bond entered the building and found that the security on the road had been resolved. Patrice took the elevator upstairs, and Bond immediately caught up:

Then there is a sci-fi and blurred cyber skyscraper scene.

I saw Patrice very delicately remove the glass together, it seems to be a target shooting across the floor, then Patrice across the room lights up.

Bond continued to approach quietly, apparently that Patrice was going to kill a guest who bought the painting in the opposite room.

Bond failed to stop Patrice 's assassination, then the two began to fight, and finally Patrice fell off the building and died. (However, these scenes were all shot in London, including the rooftop pool scene at the beginning of the third act. They were all synthesized into the night of Shanghai in the later stage)

Just as the only clue was going with the wind again, Bond found that the beauty who engaged in a private auction across the building was watching him.

Bond then inspected Patrice’s left-handed crime toolbox and found a coin with a dragon pattern and engraved on the side:

The third act is over.

The fourth act begins.

So this trip didn't come in vain, and there was another motive.

As soon as the camera turned, Mrs. M in London continued to study the hacked computer. (Ps The house of Mrs. M in this play is the former residence of the legendary James Bond series composer John Barry. The filmmakers believe that filming this play would be a strong tribute to the late composer. John Barry defined it The iconic theme music of the 007 series. His work is the core inspiration for the later composer of the series David Arnold to create modern Bond music. John Barry passed away in 2011. However, David Arnold served as the music for the 2012 London Olympics. The role of the director is not able to score the film, so the composer Thomas Newman, who has worked with director Sam Mendes for a long time, took over the baton to pay tribute to Barry.)

But suddenly another hacker program popped up:

It turned out that the villain first disclosed the information of five MI6 agents deciphered from the hard drive as a threat.

At the end of the video, the sadistic villain said that he would leak information about five more agents every week, so finding the source of the information is urgent.

Our Bond naturally followed from Shanghai based on that coin...

Then Bond wanted to shave.

Eve Moneypenny helped him scrape, and while scraping it improved Bond 's impression of his current boss, Gareth Mallory . It turns out that Gareth Mallory is not the kind of bureaucrat who has been sitting in the office. He was previously a lieutenant of the Hereford regiment in Northern Ireland and served in the Irish Republican Army for three months.

The beard is shaved and ready to go. Go to the Golden Dragon Casino and find a private auction beauty.

The exterior water container of the British Pinewood Studio was used to make the exterior wall of the Golden Dragon Casino. The scenery is lit by three hundred floating lamps and two 30-foot-tall faucets. Twelve craftsmen flew from China to create real structures. The entire casino is made of twisted steel cables and silk fabrics, and is illuminated from the inside by four hundred light bulbs.

After entering the casino, Bond issued a warning to Eve Moneypenny, who was leaning on the left pillar :

This is a tribute to a detail in the Madagascar chase at the beginning of "Casino Royale" (2006):

Then Bond used the leading coin he got from Patrice to exchange for chips. Obviously it had some kind of high-level authority, and the waiter immediately went to the leader to report.

Moreover, a leading coin can also be exchanged for a box of money, which must be a reward for Patrice by the villain organization .

Now that he met, Bond immediately chatted with the mysterious private auction girl.

The word "Sévérine" is a Latin name derived from French and translated into English means "severe". Actor Bérénice Marlohe said that her role as Severine was inspired by the role of Sévérine in "The Chimera" in Greek mythology. Chimera Greek originally means "female goat, a terrible female creature that breathes fire in the Lycian region of Asia Minor. It consists of three animal parts: lion, snake, and goat. Bernanis Marlo once said: "I want that danger to spread through her, but at the same time, I want to create a real human being with a series of emotions and the inner struggles we experience as human beings. "

But after talking to this "impossibly tame" woman for a while, Bond got her deal done. Because Bond saw that this woman's bodyguard was not protecting her, but controlling her, and the tattoo on her arm also had a mystery:

Severine may have been sold here when she was a little girl, but she couldn't help trembling when Bond mentioned the person behind her, showing that Patrice 's superior villain was a terrifyingly cruel character.

After an excellent psychological analysis, Bond offered to help Severine to remove the source of her fear, provided that Severine takes herself to see him. Severine thought for a while and agreed, and told Bond that he was in crisis now, and if he could escape the casino, he would look for her on a yacht called the Chimera.

Then came the time to get rid of the hunt, and one of the three Asian killers had a lot of background:

That's right, this is from Harbin, Heilongjiang, a martial arts instructor who was not so well-known at the time-Yang Liang!

But apparently because Yang Liang is not too famous yet, so in "Death to the Sky" (2012) is just a soy sauce character. (Think about it, it's still very inspirational)

When only one-third of the shot was left, Bond’s gun was snatched by Da Pang Pang, but he was unable to fire bullets because he did not have the fingerprint to unlock permission, and was subsequently taken away by the Komodo dragon, a kind of "viewing" animal raised by the casino. .

One of them is interesting.

If you look closely at the scene of the Komodo Dragon Pit, you will notice that Daniel Craig has a strange appearance-chunky hands.

This is because during filming, Craig went to the store to buy a pair of gloves. He thought it was suitable for 007, so director Sam Mendes agreed to let him wear them on the spot. But later in the editing process, they realized that the gloves did not conform to the logic of the scene: James Bond’s gun was picked up by an enemy, and he could not fire it because the gun had been coded on Bond’s palm print, and only Bond was allowed. German launch. So Bond wearing gloves is meaningless. He can't shoot like this. So after a series of crazy calculations, it was found that it would be very expensive to re-shoot the scene, so Craig's hands became CGI in this scene...

After that is the time to go to the Chimera for the appointment.

The fourth act is over.

The fifth act begins.

The camera cuts back to London. The five agents who were leaked before caused a bad influence. One of them was executed in public by a terrorist organization. MI6 faced greater public opinion. And Mrs. M is also soberly aware that this potential enemy must be one of them, and may be someone Mrs. M knew when she was in Hong Kong (according to Tanner's previous guess).

But this kind of speculation cannot satisfy the arrogant old bureaucrats in London, who insisted on asking Mrs. M to attend a questioning meeting publicly to explain why such a major strategic problem had arisen in the hidden department she led.

So now it's a race against time. With a major mission, Bond followed Severine to the villain’s nest, Hashima, one of the 505 deserted islands in Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan.

But Bond was unfortunately controlled by the villain together with Severine .

And Severine explained the reason why the island became a deserted city on the road. It was the mysterious villain who used the computer to spread false news, which caused people to be forced to withdraw (obviously fiction...just to increase the villain’s ability value)

Then the two were forced to separate, and Bond finally saw the villain with boundless powers- Raoul Silva . It happened at 1 hour and 10 minutes of the movie.

The villain "Raoul Silva" played by Javier Baden is actually an alias, and the real name of the character is Thiago Rodriguez. "Silva" or "Da Silva" is the most common surname in Portuguese-speaking countries such as Portugal and Brazil. Its meaning is derived from the Latin "silva", which means "forest" or "woodland". The movement of people has caused the name to be used in many places. The screenwriter of this film took Javier Baden’s nationality into consideration when writing the script, because Baden likes to translate the script into his native Spanish to prepare the lines in order to better understand the story and his role.

Javier Baden described his character as "Angel of Death, a very clean trouble remover, but just happens to be in a rotten system. He has a very personal goal, not to destroy the world, but to focus on Revenge of a certain person (Mrs. M)". Baden also explained the problem of finding a role in the depths of the villain’s psychology: “It’s always about who is behind the role. It’s very difficult for me to play a role that I think is a symbol. Under circumstances, there will be a person suffering, a person full of pain and depression, and he just wants to solve this situation. During this journey, there will be room for funny or aggressive performance, but I can fully understand who he is, this Help me describe him.

Sure enough, Silva was Mrs. M's original subordinate, and was loyal to M in Hong Kong from 1986 to 1997. According to Silva , he was loved by Mrs. M just like Bond is now. It is not the first time that this type of former agent has appeared in a Bond movie. For example, the main villain of "Golden Eye" (1995) is 007's former colleague 006 Alec Trevelyan (played by Sean Bin).

Then Silva showed Bond a wave of his real physical fitness + psychometric results (by the way, he showed off his hacking operation)

But Silva obviously did not want to take any corporal punishment measures against Bond (because it was not necessary). He acted like Bond's own brother, let him loose, admitted everything Bond wanted to ask, and told him :

This kind of stupid operation shoul
