This new 007, who resembles former Russian President Putin, only did one thing in "Casino Royale" and "Quantum Crisis", which is to kill people like a sadist, full of tricks and boredom. The traditional 007 narrative routines have been diluted to a minimum in the new 007 movies. Although because these two 007 movies are prequels, many pre-007 habits have not had time to form a tradition, but MGM’s heart for change is already very obvious. . It's just that for this action hero born during the Cold War, the direction of change has not been clear, so he discarded the tradition early, and now he can only use violence and killing to continue to maintain his legend.
According to the joke, 007 movies are not afraid of spoilers, because everyone knows that 007 has always fucked a woman at the beginning of the movie, another woman at the end of the movie, and a lot of men in the middle of the movie. However, in "Casino Royale" and "Quantum Crisis", the old villain 007 is transformed into a young and hairy guy. Although he still does a lot of men, he can no longer be used to describe women. In "Quantum Crisis", 007 has to take out the photos of the heroine of "Casino Royale" almost every 20 minutes, and people have to start worrying about Daniel Craig's future-the last time 007 was so caring about women. It's "Queen's Quest", where he got married. Of course, that Ren 007 was driven away after only doing one episode.
For an old dude who has been drinking spirits and smoking cigars, although such a prequel is logically acceptable, it is still not 007. Judging from the action scenes, the current 007 has a tendency to move closer to "The Bourne" ("The Identity of Bonn"), Parkinson's action scene photography, simple and straightforward action sections, and rough and simple close combat. , To ruthlessly kill every Xiaoluo who got in the way, can't help but remind people of another action hero born under the background of the Cold War-the amnesia agent Jason Bonn in the "Bourne Bourne" series. But for Jason Bonn, because he has no historical burdens in the past, he has made drastic changes from novels to film adaptations without any fetters. But for 007, which has a history of more than 30 years, it is necessary to be cautious if you want to change-too much change will lose the charm of 007, and too little change will be difficult to maintain the charm of 007.
For Hollywood, the biggest advantage of the series is that it can continue the appeal of the previous work and attract the audience to continue to pay attention to the new adventures of the protagonist. But after the end of the Cold War, under the new world form, 007 has lost its traditional appeal. Because the confrontation between the two opposing camps no longer exists, the pawn of 007 has lost the greatest significance of his existence. So although 007 has been trying hard to adapt to the new form, his traditional charm has undoubtedly been greatly reduced. Before "Casino Royale", 007 had already begun to be forced to fight terrorists, but there is no doubt that the background of this action is much lower than the intensity of the confrontation between the East and the West in the past. After the new 007 took office, the lack of original stories has begun to force the screenwriter to review the prequel at the beginning of the birth of 007, but if the story continues to develop, how should this muscular masculine 007 change?
The evil empire of that year no longer exists, and the continued confrontation between the East and the West is obviously no longer able to please the audience. And the terrorists who continue to fight against infidels all over the world are obviously not in line with the current world trend. If the British agent of 007 can't quickly find himself a new career direction, audiences who love the new and hate the old will soon turn their attention to others. The action hero of the screen-without Dr. Q, without those weird equipment, no smoking, just learned to drink a martini, no femme fatale from the enemy, and even worse, M is more like his mother than his boss, audience Will ask, is such a guy still 007?
