I think that the one girl who won't be as she seems will be Paloma... :-?
Ahaha it's been tough mate, very tough. I might watch it again tonight after work
I feel like it was my own fault I didn't enjoy Spectre as much I could have, because I watched the trailer so much, when I watched at it at the cinema I felt like I'd seen it and I knew the trailer so well I had I good feeling for where it was in the film.
Totally agree about Craig looking his best here, when he looks out at the lake he looks as good as he ever has done in my mind. Also the scene with him in the tux gave me Skyfall titles vibes, when he was shooting his own shadows. His movements and his look
@patb Great point mate. I've been rereading the novels recently and that line rung a distant bell. Lashana has a really nice tone to her voice in that scene as well
@patb yeah I'm with you on this. I was hoping when M threw the folder on the desk at the end of Skyfall it tied up the whole Bond is past it and needs to prove himself angle. But again I could be wrong like @Denbigh correctly said context is everything so we'll know more about the key themes when we see it.
I'm good mate. Still here, surfacing once again now we have new Bond stuff to talk about. ;)
Passage of time, and the world moving on and Bond not doing so was also a theme in Die Another Day. Every Craig Bond film has him out of the MI6 frame or going rogue, albeit nearly in CR with his initial resignation.
Well excuse my enthusiasm, @mtm. An upgrade from Spectre. Will continue the search.
Well you're more than welcome to be enthusiastic; but that won't make it true! :)
I hope so too, never seen a Bond trailer in the cinema.
Bond's clothes:
1. Black cotton shirt and ligth gray jeans (Jamaica). We all knew this already.
2. Tan suit with blue shirt (chase in Matera). We already knew this, as well.
3. Blue linen jacket and gray twill pants (Matera, before the chase). This too, we knew.
4. Tan leather jacker with white t-shirt. (Unvelining of the DBS).
5. Gray suit, white shirt, black tie (arriving at MI6, seeing Q, walking with Nomi and Moneypenny)
6. Gray suit, light blue shirt, black tie (seeing Madeleine in the hall, scene with Blofield)
7. Taupe longer length, lightweight coat, with white henley and black pants (side of the road, running through the woods, shooting a gun in the woods, in the Land Rover with Madeleine)
8. Tuxedo (Jamaica/Cuba nightclub/meeting, with Paloma)
9. Blue sweater. white henley (Safin's lair)
Madeleine and her "secret": The two easiest explanations have significant holes.
1. The scene with the girl is a flashback. Why this makes sense: Suggests Madeleine's secret is in her past; she receives or has the broken mask in a box; the girl from this scene has not been seen anywhere else in filming or in any other stills of any sort. Why it doesn't: we see the masked man at Q's flat, in the same basic garb; we'd be entereing the mind of a supporting character (though this may make sense given what Lashana Lynch said recently about the roles of the women in this film).
2. The scene with the girl is Madeleine's daughter. Why this makes sense: Madeleine's previous marriage and child would indeed be a big secret that would anger Bond; provides a reason for the chase scenes in the Land Rover; works in the present, and the the mask we see at Q's flat . Why it doesn't: where in the plot would her abduction take place? It doesn't tie in as well with Madeleine's reception of the mask, unless that scene with the mask in the box is misleading (as trailers can be): it's at the end of the film, and the mask has been sent (perhaps by Bond), well after the events of the film and Safin's demise. His way of telling her "I got him."
Star Wars: The Rise Of 007
It must be something related to White being her father.
It's possible that Madeleine left the husband and child years ago, to protect them. She felt no need to tell James. And yes, he'd be pissed.
And of course Petrou is listed on IMDb as her.
No, don't buy that at all. She would tell Bond she was once married and has a kid if that was the case, after all, she loves and trusts him. But after Bond is ambushed at Vesper's grave, he makes the assumption (as we see in the trailer) that Madeleine has betrayed him (after all Vesper betrayed him - and Bond still can't trust anyone - he's pretty damaged goods). Madeleine's secret is something much deeper and darker - something she has tried to bury and wipe from her life, just like she tried to escape from her father, Mr. White.
7.3 million views on Youtube
10 million views on Twitter
2.5 million views on Facebook
0.4 million views on Instagram
So across only the official 007 social media channels, thats 20.2 million views in a day.
Id say the trailer has hit the sweet spot with the general public big time.
Oh yeah that's almost definitely what this is about. Maybe he has a beef with White specifically...
Also, not sure if it was posted elsewhere here, they released a few short soundbites from Daniel, Lashana and BB/MGW. Most intriguing, Barbara describing the film as an 'epic love story'
I doubt Bond would care. He's always had a devil may care attitude about everything, Fleming himself cheated his wife and Bond never cared much about marriage (according to OHMSS he decides to marry Tracy because he's getting old and because she would not force him into a mundane life). There's no way he'd get angry or jealous for finding out that his girlfriend has had other men in her life - and Bond more than anyone would understand it if she kept it a secret to protect his life. He's not a teenager, he's a grown up man who faced worse things in life.
Also, from a writers perspective, without context, the mask and her reaction would be meaningless to the audience. The reveal as the box was opened would have no dramatic impact. So that implies that, before that scene, the audience have both seen the mask and understand why memories of it would upset her so much and would have empathy for her (all just guessing obviously)
Well, she's holding something back from Bond, a very deep dark secret, but Bond's chink in his armour is that he cannot trust anyone, not even Madeleine, which stems so much from Vesper and also the fact he was an orphan, a child/young man effectively abandoned and forced to rely on himself and no one else. Craig plays this so bloody well. And I think Cary, knowing and respecting how well Craig implies Bond's damaged soul, decided to strongly focus on that in this film.
