Bond
in Brosnan's era is similar to the heroes in Gu Long's martial arts novels, with no past, no parents, no childhood, and no past. What we see is only a hero who loves the country and beauty, a mysterious agent who transforms cold metals such as cars, firearms, watches, etc. into fiery passion. And 50 years after the Bond movie appeared, Mendes finally revealed a corner of Bond's childhood for us. The Scottish wilderness far away from the hustle and bustle of the world seems to come from a distant time and space, covered with snow in winter, and the twilight is surrounded by lead clouds. Low hanging, is a veritable SKYFALL. In a place so different from MI6 in London, we realize for the first time that Bond is a human being like everyone else. He has also fallen to the ground, he has had parents and relatives, he has also looked at the gun barrel in the hands of the gamekeeper with the curious eyes of a child, and he has also pulled the trigger awkwardly for the first time. Although his family had been buried forever in the ground many years ago, their peaceful names will always be left on the tombstone. Years can pass, but the past cannot be erased.
If M
has been gradually transformed from a serious boss into a human boss in the previous Bond movies, this one completely positions her image as a mother. Crazy Silva keeps calling her mama, which seems to be a hint too. After MI6 was blown up, she stood behind a row of coffins covered with rice flags with a mournful and determined expression. That shot seemed to herald the final outcome.
As M said herself, as long as she can win the interests of more people, she can give up anyone, no matter if that person is Silva or Bond. This is her duty, and she has no right to choose. After M's death, Bond calls out M in the face of Ralph Fiennes and begins a new journey. It is conceivable that one day Bond will disappear and another 007 will appear. People die as individuals, but careers can be passed on from generation to generation through faith.
Silva
Silva is the villain of the film, and perhaps one of the most amorous villains in many 007 films. As soon as he appeared on the stage, his lines were full of love, and he could even say the word ON TOP. Coupled with the flowing autumn waves and the fingers that lingered under the Bond white shirt, he was really blinding the crowd. spectator's eyes.
All his actions were slightly neurotic. Unlike ordinary villains, he is not for money and fame, he just wants revenge. And his so-called hatred, to put it bluntly, is more like a kind of resentment, a kind of grievance. In front of Bond he was half ostentatious, half sarcastic that I had been her favorite, too, and that he longed for the comfort of his guilt from the woman he respected and trusted like a mother, and that when he didn't get it , he can only avenge M for his so-called betrayal by betrayal.
Silva and Bond are actually two parallel lines in the film. They are both people who M had to "give up". The difference is that Bond chose to return, while Silva went to the extreme.
's first appearance is to meet Bond in front of William Turner's famous painting "The Dreadnought". The triumphant return of the warship seems to herald the end of the age of old-school espionage and the arrival of the age of technology. Q was dismissive of the famous weapon pen bomb from the Pierce South Bond era, believing it was an era when a single computer could win a war.
And what are the facts? Mendez answers with facts. M, Bond and the gamekeeper finally escape from a historic tunnel, and Silva, who can operate a terrorist group with the click of a mouse, ends up dying with a knife through the heart...Sometimes old ways are the best. It is undeniable that the development of science and technology has indeed brought unimaginable convenience to people, but there are deep things behind those traditional and ancient things waiting for people to dig. As Tennyson's recited by M
Other elements of the film are also exceptional. In ADELE's elegant but gloomy singing, the lens extends infinitely in depth, and finally returns to the original point of Bond's eyes. Before detonating the old house, the background music is like an epic blockbuster. Under the night scene of Shanghai, blue neon lights reflect thousands of silhouettes on the glass. Outside the Macau Casino, the water is sparkling with picturesque lights. Mendes showed a 007 outside the city's icy buildings with a new lens, which may also be his answer to where the series will go after MGM goes bankrupt.
