And the corny award goes to....

Okay first starting off by voicing my opinion that so far Sean Connery was surely a more sufficient Bond then Roger Moore. Moore was unable to fulfill what I wanted out of him as a Bond. He was just not having had the edge, or it must just have been his over dramatic fighting within the martial arts fight scenes. This movie surprised me with the chest martial arts in addition to the sound effects, I believe that these movie’s effects, and what not should be getting more advanced, and this movie did not show an advance. The scene where Bond is kissing the women’s belly button and swallows her husband’s “death” bullet, not only made me want to throw up, it made me want to laugh. The scene has these men barge into the room big masculine Bond gets startled and swallows this bullet on accident which just so coincidently he get have tested later on.                                                                                                                                                      This whole movie not only was corny it displayed Bond’s character as rather weak. Although there were not drastic clues displaying this argument, the fact that Bond once leaving out the window of the dojo allows for two Asian girls with Hip to fight away the people coming after him. Just seems to ultimately take away from who James Bond character is supposed to depict.                                                                               Lastly, when Bond and Goodnight are finally getting their chance to be together (because obviously Bond has already been with the late Andrea); Nick Nack (the Asian midget servant) falls in on their party and, the way NN’s character is depicted is quite belittling. Nick Nack is small and the way he is seen hunched over like a monkey really surfaced the concept of Orientalism. His character is being related to a monkey not only by his form and body language but through the way he acts like an animal throwing the bottles at Bond. One of the other girls wrote about the way Bond treat the little boy with the Elephant and I know that this was another way Asians were mocked and disrespected within this film.
