The Chinese translation of "Quantum of Solace" is really Lei————"Quantum Crisis", how could it be called such a name? What the evil forces are fighting for is the source of water. The so-called "pure water crisis" should be more appropriate than this. Moreover, whether it is literal or free translation, "quantum crisis" is not appropriate. The meaning of the word "Quantum" has three layers: the first layer is a certain amount; the second layer is this "a certain amount" is very small; the third layer is this "a certain amount of" hidden "the one you deserve "Child" means. Relating to the plot of 007's previous "Casino Royale", you will find that "Quantum of Solace" is actually about 007's struggle to find the last touch of warmth and comfort before becoming a spy machine.

In "Casino Royale", "Mrs. M" once told Bond, who had just been promoted to "Class 00 Ironworker": "I don't know if you can be impersonal, although from your appearance it seems that there is no problem. ."
Bond replied after hesitating for a moment: "Yes, I can." But this sentence is obviously lack of confidence.

"Mrs. M"’s worries were indeed not superfluous. A few days later, this cruel and tough-looking Bond couldn’t help but become obsessed with the beautiful and intelligent female Treasury agent Vespa Lind, and even promised to be willing. Give up the status of an agent for it. But this beautiful promise could not be fulfilled in the end, because the 007 story obviously has to go on. Vesper Linde had another affiliation in her heart, and at the end of the film, she betrayed 007 for her lover. Just like all those Bond girls who betrayed 007, she could not escape the fate of tragic death due to her crimes. . But it is undeniable that the death of the first Bond girl has brought 007 more feelings than all the Bond girls in the future, because since then, no woman can make 007 touch the truth: the sexy Ursula. • Anders can’t do it, nor can the glamorous Sophie Marceau.

But the birth of cold-blooded 007 was not an instant event. Even after Vesper Linde died in his arms in a beautiful posture, 007 was not completely reduced to a spy machine, although most of his emotions were already It is frozen, but there is still a trace of nostalgia for the past warmth remaining deep in my heart-he always carries the necklace of Wesper Linde with him is a proof that cannot be ignored.

Because of this, "Casino Royale" was followed by "Quantum of Solace", a 007 and the last tender farewell ceremony.

In this ceremony, 007 shouldered an unprecedented crisis of trust. Together with the new Bond girl Camilla, he fought the evil forces headed by Greene from the sky to the underground, from the ocean to the desert, and finally successfully completed the arduous task of defending world peace. At the "Summary Meeting", 007 unexpectedly shouted an intriguing slogan:

Greene's dam has fallen, and the people's dam will be built!

After this slogan full of Chinese characteristics (many people suspected that Bond was an undercover agent sent by GCD because of this sentence), Bond, who has always done evil for the people, set out to do the last thing for himself: that is to find Wei Spa Linde betrayed his boyfriend for it.

007 saw the fact that he had thought of but did not want to see: the guy in front of him was not a fuel-efficient lamp at all. He hooked up with another pretty female agent shortly after the death of Wesper Linde, and There was a platinum necklace exactly like Wesper Linde on the girl's neck. 007's heart was bleeding, and his eyes were full of anger, but he did not grant the death that the man had pleaded for, just as "Mrs. M" said: This is too unlike 007's style.

But 007 is 007, and he has already made a judgment in his own way, not only for the bad-hearted man who has bad intentions, but also for himself without regrets. From then on, Bond can enjoy the pleasures of the world with the women of the world without any concerns, and can even claim their lives calmly when necessary, without having to pay any sincerity at all.

So 007 discarded the platinum necklace that had accompanied him for so many sleepless nights, and the wind swept it with dust to cover it, and the last glimmer of light would be silent forever in the desert of time...

The meaning of "Quantum of Solace" could have been so rich and beautiful, but unfortunately the far-fetched translation and rough dubbing ruined its quality, making it only a third-rate commercial film. But no matter what, as a fan of 007, it is still worth seeing, even if it's just to see the muscular Daniel Craig's very tall buttocks and unusually thick breasts.

But I have to say: The prospect of this new 007 who resembles Putin is worrying. His appearance and acting skills are not outstanding among all 007 actors, and it seems that he is going downhill recently. Especially in "Quantum of Solace", his expressions are rarer than in "Casino Royale", and the cool outfits are already a bit boring. If he continues to eat his sexy body, he will probably be a handsome Hollywood guy. We are just around the corner.

However, historical 007 actors seem to have a vicious circle that they can’t escape: they were basically a second-line actor before being selected to play 007, but once they stopped playing the role, they immediately became a third-rate actor, even relying on it. Live by ads and soap operas. For example, George. Lazenbe, Roger. Moore, Timothy. Dutton even the famous Pierce. Brosnan, they didn't mix well after leaving office, of course, the first 007 actor Sean Connery is an exception.

So when I watched "Flashbacks of a Fool" ("Flashbacks of a Fool"), which was the director’s addiction, I couldn’t help but feel a little worried. 007 may encounter the same fate as the protagonist in the film in the future. A well-dressed, shrewd and indifferent agent pointed to him and said:

Look, you are a bad actor, you are done!

But fortunately, this kind of thing is just my imagination for the time being, he is still the current Bond who is alive and well. I hope he will not leave any regrets during this short period of glory, or, even if there are any regrets, he must firmly refuse to admit it, just as "Mrs. M" said in the ending of "Quantum of Solace":

I have no regrets , Of course not, because that would be unprofessional.

Yes, professional agents have to look like this!
