finallllllllllly

Let me just start his post off by saying finallllllllly!! Pierce Brosnan where have you been all semester?! Much like another post I read earlier I used to play the Goldeneye video game, I will never forget how cool I had thought I was being 007 while playing my older brother's Bond game for the N64! Anyways, I am not sure if it is just that I grew up with the knowledge that Brosnan himself was James Bond, or what it could be because when watching this film I knew he was the Bond for me. Brosnan just has a look to him that screams I am James Bond and I just melted when watching him, I did not even mind the corny actions he made while wanting to make out and thrusting the girl against the wall. This is the Bond I know and have always envisioned and I wish we got to see more of Brosnan! However, this film definitely correlated the concept of good vs evil with the connection Bond had with 006, I felt that I was actually able to follow the plot and actually feel emotions from what was taking place. I am not sure if maybe with the time the film was shot that producers had better equipment to work with or what because nothing drew me away from understanding the plot line, where in other films it had at times been confusing to follow the whole movie through.

As for M, I really enjoyed that she was a SHE! Not only was the concept of having a woman in this upper position it was nice to know that he was actually listening to her. I did fact have to "LOL" when she calls him a sexist misogynist dinosaur, however I had to re-watch this scene to listen to the exact conversation between the two and it made me upset with Bond’s character for he addresses the fact that he does not believe that M can do her job because she is a woman, I know he states that at first he did not trust her and that his thoughts are easing into this concept of her on power, but it just upsets me that STILL there is a problem with men in Bond films not believing in the right to female power. Very lame Brosnan. Anyways her response is golden and I believe that Judi Dench truly nailed the authoritative role of M.


Overall I think the Bond films are continuing to get better and better, their plot lines seem to flow more consistently.
