@Octopussy We did some research a few days ago and came up with this:
Ah, I was half right! ;) Thanks!
Oooooooooooh, of course he does.
Ah, man. Precious.
Bloody scooby gang.
:))
Hahaha that's brilliant
Listen he's been out in the field before. Let's stop trying to make out it's a DC precedent!
A good shout, @Pierce2Daniel
This is correct.
I agree that certain shots in Italy (is it Matera or Sapri?) do have an odd look to them. My guess is the green screen: the studio lighting isn't 100% realistic to the surrounding environment and that's what makes it uncanny. Perhaps this is intended? To indicate to the audience that things aren't as idyllic as they might appear on the surface.
Also I'm willing to bet the rocky beach stuff we see is a dream sequence because it looks genuinely dreamy
That was the exact word I used to describe it. So, I naturally 100% agree, and think it's very intentional. Bond's glimpse into a normal, loving life where everything is in its rightful place and everything seems blissful.
Bond does not do dream sequences, but it may be a flashback when Bond is alone in Jamaica. But I suspect not. The Matera scenes will be about Bond and Madeleine.
Or Bond thinks he sees Madeleine but she's not actually there...haunted by her spectre (badumtss)
Exactly. Another thing if bond gets married or live out his days with Madeline in the end, that could be the ending scene. Classic James bond ending.
*with a stormy sky hinting at troubles.
That kind of volcanic rocky landscape is Maratea and I believe it will be 100% Italy also the film.
Which is exactly what Blofeld intended, remember?
To what extent? I know he was aware of Bond entering the SPECTRE meeting palace but did Blofeld really set up the murder of Sciarra?
Even then, if that's what Blofeld intended that was very idiotic of him.
Yeah, also because it would quickly show Bond's feelings to the viewer... Showing their happiness in a moment of fun and relax it would be more incisive than just the two driving to the city.
That's a great idea mate
I wouldn't even be shocked if @matt_u is Cary testing his ideas on us
“Forgive her. Forgive yourself.”
I thought about how the burning note echoes back to QoS, with Mathis’ dying words to Bond about forgiveness. Not sure if anyone has touched on this, but maybe this act of burning letters is symbolic of forgiving the dead...? And perhaps it’s not a note of betrayal, but rather Bond paying his respects to Vesper at her tomb. Why he would be asking Vesper to forgive him is beyond me, but I’m starting to think the lyrics of the NTTD theme song have a double meaning: both Vesper and Madeleine are two sides of the same coin, and Bond is caught between his haunted past by tbe former, and a bittersweet future with the latter.
Just throwing ideas out there.
Yup. And I’m guessing Bond feels he has to ask her forgiveness because he finally wants to move on from the memory of her, and commit to someone else.
Of course, as Seydoux said in the EW interview, it all goes to mod edit.
Well done, this seems better than what I thought at first.
:) Water has also an inherent strong symbolism. Could work.
Haha, thanks man. I threw Cary's name as a good fit for the director like a month in advance his announcement so no I'm not him. Even tho I'd love to. :D
Survivors guilt. He failed to protect/save her. He might partly blame himself for what happened (which is what fueled him in QoS to some degree) and also why Mathis told him to "forgive yourself"
