Ian Fleming in heaven probably didn't think that his 007 would be transformed by Hollywood into the face it is now. Is James Bond lacking elegance and wisdom or the ideal Bond?
The screenwriters started to justify themselves. In fact, since the protagonist changed from the oily Brosnan to the Craig with the face of a Nazi officer, the age of the story has quietly changed-we are now talking about a prequel, Bond who is in the gradual growth phase of a rookie. Therefore, he can be allowed to be rough, and he is allowed to be ashamed. There is no overall view, against the boss, and even really moved by the few spy girls. From the perspective of professional development, there is indeed no big loophole in this statement, but why do I still feel uncomfortable as an audience?
Innovation is okay, and commercial filmmakers must absolutely unconditionally obey the tastes of the audience. The 007 series of films that were born in 1962 to the present really need to be constantly added with fresh elements to be evergreen. From the fist slammed to the ground stiffly in the early years, to the shock of digital special effects in the Brosnan era, I believe that the exemplary works of action movies in every era are affecting the directors of 007. But they know well where the bottom line is, where is the soul of 007. To put it a bit tall and empty, the style of the veteran empire gentleman cannot be lost; to put it in an analogy, it's like Hua Dan's appearance on stage cannot be Tsing Yi's pace and singing; to be more detailed, the props must be novel and the car must be handsome. , The heroine must catch the eyeballs enough.
Unfortunately, none of this 007 was done. The car chase scene is arranged at the very beginning of the preheated paragraph, coupled with the clichés, it is completely like a plagiarized version of Michael Bay, and it is hard to remember after reading it. In terms of high-tech props, Dr. Q disappeared. Bond used Sony Ericsson’s mobile phone to charge up the phone, fixed the location, and passed the photos to the end. It seemed that they were all applications for ordinary people’s daily lives, and there was nothing flashy. On the female side, in order to highlight that the Bond girl was caught in a fire at her childhood and aimed at revenge, she deliberately gave a close-up of a large scar on her back. This is completely anti-vase setting. The other girl unexpectedly gave the alien death method mercilessly, as if running towards the cult route of horror. As for the play, the 007 constantly pays tribute to Bourne and die hard, hard bridge and hard horse, jumping up and down, the scene is very hot. However, the arrangement of the scene is really vulgar, but lacklustre.
The Cold War era is over, the axis of evil is not there, and 007 can only make ideas on the mystery group and South American dictators. In fact, the mapping of politics is no longer the concern of such a globalized entertainment film. It doesn't matter who you go to shoot, the key is to make good-looking shots. It is the hallmark of 007 to kill the talent with silent pistol while beating the girl and tango.
The Mission Impossible is ahead, and Byrne is behind, it has already put a lot of pressure on the survival of 007, who has changed roles. If it is so big that the directors and screenwriters do not want to make progress, they can only copy and modify, without creating exciting and traditional details to please the audience, then everyone might as well go to bed early.

Quantum of Solace quotes

  • M: You killed a man in Bregenz.

    James Bond: I did my best not to.

    M: You shot him at point blank and threw him off a roof. I would hardly call that showing restraint!

  • James Bond: Are you going to tell us who you work for?

    Mr. White: I was always very interested to meet you. I heard so much about you from Vesper. The real shame is, if she hadn't killed herself we would've had you too.
