I don’t want Bond so to no memory leaving to use he loves. Even if he thinks they’re safer without him.
Not so odd. Every month since last year there's a Bond special analyzing every film since Dr. No (some articles have been written by Archivo007's Óscar Rubio). Each magazine has the poster of each Bond movie! This month is turn for TWINE and, of course, NTTD...
I saw it live ;) Sadly it wasn't very interesting. She said it was a big honor to be a part of Cinema History and that the role was written for her (as we all know).
Bond is sent to Cuba expecting a CIA agent and Paloma has had only three weeks of training. Ana told that she also had only three weeks to prepare the role, so when Paloma said that line in the film it was very funny for everybody. She felt like Paloma!
She also told that she finished Blonde a Friday and started to film NTTD the very next Monday.
Craig was training for Bond during Knives Out but, of course, she had no idea then about her casting.
I keep coming back to what Mallory told him in SF, about going on pretending he's dead, that agents don't get that clean break. The whole dead/living/resurrection theme has been an undercurrent during the whole DC era, so it seems fitting that he'd "survive death."
I can''t see him in socks and not think of Blofeld in Morocco.
I would have previously been more open to the idea but then Skyfall repositioned Bond from pulp hero to mythic hero, and mythic heroes do not truly die - they have a death of sorts but then a perseverance after that.
Bond of course has fakeout deaths aplenty but I I'm betting heavily he will sustain a sort of Arthurian quasi-demise like at Camlann or what have you but the promise of rebirth from Avalon will be there too.
Exactly.
The whole thematic idea of the Craig films is he traded humanity when he became a 00 (licence to kill = power over death = death god). He got a power, but this power came at a cost — Blofeld's line in Spectre, "all the women you ever loved died". That's the cost. Or the opening line in "You Know My Name":
If you take a life, do you know what you give?
Odds are you won't like what it is.
Everything he touches dies. Everywhere he goes is dead — his vacant childhood home, his barren apartment. Quantum of Solace taking place in a desert with a plot revolving around water shortages (water=life). It's all death!
Now Madeleine, she's the opposite. Think about it. Not just as woman (mythologically speaking — women are life via the power to have children), but she's also a doctor. What's a doctor (healing) but the literal opposite of an assassin? And also think about her upbringing — she came out of an organization of death, yet still has these powers of life.
God of death; Goddess of life.
No Time to Die, broadly, will be a story of finding the "missing mother" (life) and reintegrating the feminine he traded in the beginning of Casino Royale . This will, in some way, be accomplished by "undoing" that trade — giving up his power of death. Spectre ends this way too, because it has to.
Very significant that
I hate to say this, but if Bond were to die, so would my interest in the character. I wouldn't abandon the franchise, but it would leave me disenchanted. I think some would bail.
Yeah, for a second there I thought Craig dressed as Blofeld for a piss-take. Horrible look!
Hmmmm....hmmm....hmmm.....nah.
I hope there is a more original ending to DC's tenure
"Ascent", or rebirth.
I think personally that he will be declared Mia/dead, which will in reality allow him and Madeleine to retire to a quiet life.
Be cool if he witnessed his own “funeral”, and only m q and mp knew the truth.
Why?
It really looks fun tonight.
I know it's obvious -he's James bleedin' Bond after all- but he doesn't half look great.
He's been on the good ol' sunbeds hasn't he :))
Had it on earlier in the background- the same old questions. Then started listening to the most recent podcast- same old questions..
All of his interviews are the same.
Is Norton tonight or next week? Might tune in, hoping for something a bit different than every other interview.
Norton is tonight at 1035pm.
Look, regardless of what the purpose of fiction is, all I'm suggesting is that Bond could die. It's happened (or at least been suggested) in the books.
Many films set out to be realistic, but always only up to a point, resorting to the usual convention of the hero surviving. Why SHOULD he always survive? He's survived for 24 films for god's sake.
Even if we don't see him die, a Dark Knight Rises type of ending would suffice.
What?....
It seems equally fitting that he would die.
There won't be, unless he dies. We will probably see him fishing in Jamaica.
Excellent!
