skyfalling all the films together

I cannot believe how much I enjoyed watching this Bond film! I’m not sure if it was the fact that the film was made in 2012 that caused for me to find the graphics to be really up to par, bright and rather explosive. The film right off the bat displays Bond listening to the authority of M despite the fact that she is a woman, his actions being to leave the shot man when she tells him to and this sets off the relationship between the two. Despite already having the knowledge that Bond “dies” in this film I was still surprised when it took place, I literally gasped out loud (secretly glad no one was home to hear me I sounded like an idiot). This film greatly depicts just how far Bond is willing to go to keep M alive and safe, in addition to just how much M believes in Bond and is willing to keep him in the field. Not only does this film touch on different aspects of other films it allowed for me to see what is that truly allowed for me to encompass the true feeling of a Bond field. Including: the super long chase scene, the constant hinting to Bond’s aging, Bond ordering a shaken instead of stirred drink (despite the fact that he has been drinking Heineken's).
I believe this film allowed for me to see a rather focused Bond film and for me that was depicted through the overall relationship between Bond and M and their need to display to viewers that despite a person’s sex working together is going to ultimately allow for people to come out ahead.

Favorite Quotes:
“…just changing carriages”-Bond
“…go to hell with dignity—I leave when the jobs done” –M
“We are both played out.” –Bond to M
“That was a waste of scotch.” –Bond


Lastly, during the second fight scene between Bond and Silva, their bodies against the jelly fish background really reminded me of the black shadows in the Bond opening credits of past films.
