So I planned to watch it for a while, just because I didn't want the last night of this holiday to end prematurely. Besides, to be honest, I have no other choice.
However, as the film gradually unfolded, I felt gradually attracted. Although I didn't even start from the beginning, the good show had just been staged: Bond was ordered to go to the Royal Casino on a mission and met his beautiful female accountant partner. The two engaged in a verbal confrontation on the train. This time the touch and temptation of wisdom and psychology was a tie, and Bond was still slightly at a disadvantage. Even though he is calm on the surface, he seems to have lost the unfathomable and unfathomable view he had faced with any opponent in the past. He is no longer invulnerable, and the secret of his heart wrapped in an elegant smile is quietly torn apart by a small corner.
Hardcore fans of Bond films may not like this new Bond.
Traditional Bond is the ultimate image of male fantasy. The man among the men conquered the world and conquered women, and at the same time covered the dangers on these two battlefields, advancing and retreating all over the body. Every time he plays, he reinterprets this process perfectly.
Therefore, no matter how heavy the task of saving the world single-handedly, it will not detract from his leisurely love and love with beautiful women. Regardless of how intense each relationship is, this relationship will definitely end before Bond's next appearance, thus making room for new adventures and passions.
Perhaps a critical psychologist will comment that every appearance of this gun-carrying Don Juan is accompanied by countless love affairs. This behavior only proves that Bond is a personality addict. Perhaps he suffered some kind of psychological trauma in his childhood, and thus developed a deformed psychology that lacks the universal warmth of human beings. Therefore, Bond can hardly see the traces of true human emotions. He can draw a gun for one second and kill people in the next. Feel free to flirt with women without any emotional transitions. And it is impossible for him to truly fall in love with a woman, he will not and cannot accept a solid relationship, will constantly switch from one opposite sex to the next, and is keen to play the role of conqueror. In fact, in real life Bond may be a psychopath as dangerous as the terrorists he killed. Professional characteristics made him a hero, but this was purely accidental. The real motivation of his work is not to uphold justice, but to self-identify as God. Destroying opponents and conquering women are both a confirmation of his crazy fantasy of self-omnipotence.
However, Bond fans don't think so.
In their view, the above allegations are obviously just crazy conjectures out of dark psychology, and Bond is undoubtedly a perfect hero. Of course, he kills people, but this is his profession and is necessary for his duties. He kills are very evil anti-human beings who intend to destroy the world and exterminate mankind. So they must be eliminated, and there is no need to feel any psychological guilt for killing them. And although Bond does not claim to be blood-free like Jackie Chan, he does his job cleanly and intelligently, which largely shields the bloody gas that makes the stomach upset. Just like Pao Ding solves a cow, Bond has made killings a performance art full of aesthetics.
As for the fact that Bond is acting on the spot, it is even more misunderstanding to play with the widowed bastards of the opposite sex. Romance in ordinary people is inevitably a weakness of human nature, but in Bond it is the irresistible release of the abundant life passion endowed by heroes. Bond is engaged in dangerous work walking on the edge of death, and it is hard to imagine that he can enjoy it without the passion of a hero. Although work is the center of his life, the fiery passion for life will illuminate the outside world without asking for anything like the sun. Women can't help but desire to take shelter in the warmth under this light, indulge in it, even if the next moment will be separated, at least this moment is happy. In fact, as far as "sex" is concerned, Bond never uses women. He faced sex sincerely, and every woman was the only one in his life at that moment. Not only did he make the other person enjoy great happiness in the joy of fish and water, but he was also willing to take no risks in order to protect her. From this point of view, no woman would not love him and thank him from the bottom of her heart, and would accuse him of being unsympathetic.
Of course, infatuation and over-specification will not be Bond's attributes. There are too many next tasks on the road ahead of him, the next passion, the next unknown. Come to think of it, compared with the huge amount of adrenaline inspired by this adventure life full of unknowns, the pleasure of love is too limited. Therefore, Bond chose to leave Wenrouxiang again and again and set sail again.
Bond is like the mythical hero Hercules returning from ancient times. It is said that Hercules once had sex with all the young women in the village when he passed through a village while completing one of his miracles. The ancient Greeks described this event with an attitude of admiration and admiration, not only because of their open-mindedness to the relationship between men and women, but also because they regarded Hercules as a demigod instead of taking the dimension of ordinary humanity. To measure his performance.
Bond also applies this rule. His murder and his mercy everywhere cannot be measured by the dimensions of ordinary humanity. Bond kills people, but not bloodthirsty. He kills people only by means. His calmness is not coldness but calmness. You can't see the phantom of the subconscious demon. Every time the trigger is pulled, it is an act of precise calculation of results, neither indiscriminately killing nor the benevolence of women. The same goes for sex. He has no disadvantages in the women's battlefield. If conquering a woman’s heart is a man’s mission, then Bond can be called a man among men; if a man who falls in love easily will be ridiculed as childish, then any man in the world is just a child who has not grown up compared to Bond. . Bond enjoys love, but he never stays or stays, and he will not be confused by love. All his actions are in line with the heaven above human nature. He has no human weakness, in other words, he doesn't need to show his human weakness to get the favor of fans. What they love is his godlike existence.
However, Martin Campbell tried to subvert. He was careful but determined to quietly draw Bond from the position of God to others.
So we saw a fragile Bond. The opponent is getting stronger and more cunning, and he is getting more and more likely to be in danger and lose his breath. He even got tired of this dangerous career, hoping to retire and travel the world with his beloved woman. Unfortunately, he fell in love with his enemy. The divine Bond has already lost. He has finished playing his cards and obediently tied himself out, but the opponent's hands are still unfathomable.
Fans may be heartbroken about this, and the idol began to collapse. But they didn't know that Campbell's starting point for all this was to save the endangered Bond, because Bond has encountered the biggest bottleneck in his career and its influence is plummeting. No weakness may be precisely the greatest weakness. Bond is invincible, but unable to overcome aesthetic fatigue. Now God-like Bond is facing the ultimate killer that can determine his life and death: the box office. His divinity may happen to be his Achilles heel.
Bond must complete the redemption of self with the return of humanity. In Casino Royale, we see an attempt to deconstruct Bond. For example, his immunity to love comes from the disillusionment of true love; and his lonely superpower actually comes from his immaturity in his early years. accumulation. I have to admit, I like this one better than the invincible Bond.
Descartes said: We have no other mission in this world except to conquer ourselves. Conquering self is difficult, and for Bond, overcoming the divinity of self is even more difficult. Because no one knows what the outcome of this transformation will be, whether it succeeds or self-destructs, this is destined to be cautious and hesitant in his transformation. Therefore, "Casino Royale" is presented as Bond's early experience, with the purpose of trying to explain his human side without destroying Bond's mythological status as much as possible. This interpretation is cautious. In many places, only an introduction is written, leaving a lot of mystery space for future generations to explore, such as the gloomy childhood he may have experienced. Perhaps, in the future, we will see a humanized Bond surrounded by complex inner feelings, and perhaps he also needs a psychologist who can consult from time to time. Perhaps at that time, all the secrets of Bond will be in broad daylight, and he will truly walk down the altar.
And now, he was just turning slightly in the direction of humanity.
