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.
