You ned to watch them in Norwegian to really understand it.
I hear a lot of early story ideas made their way into the Norwegian subtitles. Apparently Bond and Trevelyan were stepbrothers? And Bond and Renard? And Bond and Colonel Moon? Repetitive, but riveting.
You'll have people saying that its Connery's theme. Others will say it belongs in the 60's. Others will find it cartoonish. Others plain hate it. I can guess what's coming, answers wise. But that about covers it.
Like I said, I'm all for it. Love that theme. A new rendition would be marvellous if made into something a bit more serious to suit the tone.
I fully agree. In all honesty, it's pure bliss and if done correctly pure Bondian magic. No drugs needed. It's a perfect track for an introduction and building a scene.
Well yes, I can t deny it. Also Tiffany Case was Bond s half-sister.
Yup. All true.
Well that puts a Star Wars-ian spin on things.
Gøldenæ? Đe Wørld is not Enough? DAD? The latter two are part of my horror cabinet. I doubt that the Norwegian version improves on them.
As I noted a few pages ago, the images in BEASTS OF NO NATION became a source of controversy after it was revealed that Fukunaga ripped off photographer Richard Mosse's work. Fukunaga contacted Mosse during the making of film for inspiration and then never gave the photographer any credit for his input:

Steal from the best, they say!

And the Northern Lights.
Adding the gorgeous women, too.
Pining for the fiords, are you?
I have absolutely no problem with that. I love Norway. Althoug I haven't seen that much of it so far, is a great country with a beautiful countryside, however I may joke about it here and there.
That isn't ripping off anyone. If Fukunaga contacted Mosse, specifically asking for his input, then Mosse KNOWS the deal. That's an artist offering help and then getting his feelings hurt that there was no "Special Thanks to..." credit in bold letters.
You can interpret it any way you'd like. Just don't try to convince me that Fukunaga is an aesthetic genius based on BEASTS OF NO NATION.
That would be silly indeed. However gents, this little piece of information just sent a tingle through my spine: "He's been working on a project with HBO, based on Stanley Kubrick's unproduced film about Napoleon"
A big yes to this, and beautifully expressed!
