As a 50-year commemorative work of Bond, the screenwriter always reminds us of this: Times have changed.
007 is no longer omnipotent. Daniel Craig’s version of 007 is no longer a gentleman but physical strength. The skill in this movie is no longer magical because of injuries. In addition, the record of the least Bond girl will continue to be maintained... …
MI6 has changed. There are all kinds of beatings in this movie. It is said that the easy-to-catch big boss must have a plot. This kind of lesson has a clown before and Loki after it, and also put him in his headquarters? (Well, since Sam Mendes himself admitted that he was influenced by Nolan’s Black Knights, it was probably deliberate...)
Has the Q department become the IT department? The young Q is no longer making sci-fi props, only The level of props technology is low... It is
well known that a major feature of 007 movies is the exotic atmosphere around the world, but this one puts the main stage back on the British mainland. (Speaking of Bond, since you are a Scot, why do you call it England with a patriotic look) As the first 007 approved to be filmed in China, the Shanghai scene has no special features, and it makes no difference in any metropolis; The roof of Istanbul is good, but you will feel familiar after seeing Taken2.
So you see that everything is changing, and everything is back to its origin in the change: with Moneypenny and Q again, the successor M is a man again, and we see Aston Martin in the long-lost golden finger, only But there are no magic items. But Bond is still the Bond. Is this the past of an era, or a new beginning?
Bond will return.
