That's a lovely meta-commentary on SP.
The daughter of Spectre line is just Blofeld getting inside Bond’s head making it seem like her allegiance lies with Spectre and that she betrayed Bond. I don’t remember the sacrifice line, but I’m assuming Blofeld was saying she was willing to sacrifice her life to kill Bond, hence Primo trying to blast through her window of the DB5. Bond already had one love betray him and then die before he could reconcile that, and Blofeld was trying to do a repeat of that.
Excellent, thanks for that. Seems another instance where something said can’t be taken at face value and is merely meant to get inside Bond’s head. I wasn’t sure if it was something like that or a plot idea that was dropped or never fleshed out properly.
Yes, exactly - the wall came slamming back down and that was it. No Time To Reason...
The Sun broke the news that EoN wanted to kill off Bond in August 2018.
The call sheet leaks back in May/June 2020 spoiled the very last scene of the film, where Swann drives into the tunnel (scene 253).
And my girlfriend said she was waiting for her to keel over dead in the Blofeld scene, because they so specifically pointed out that she is a daughter (i.e. shares the DNA) of a Spectre agent. Bond still has the Cuba virus in him and they very pointedly don't touch until she wants to get out of the room.
Alas, it's just a throwaway line to make Bond mistrust her and to play up the whole "daughters of Assassins" thing.
Seriously, Bond's yacht in Jamaica the same as the one in Venice from Casino? The name Spirit is behind Vesper when she sees Gettler, not sure if that's name of it
Thank you. That was a long time ago.
It's probably intended to be. In fact, given the obvious wear and tear on the grey t-shirt he's wearing on the yacht, it may even be the same now-ancient t-shirt he wore when he and Vesper sailed into Venice!
Spirit is the maker of the yachts. The model in CR is a Spirit 54, in NTTD it's a Spirit 46. So, if it is supposed to be the same boat, the filmmakers and their product partners made a bit of a gaffe there. I don't think it is supposed to be the same.
Did we ever see a name for the boat in NTTD? Could have been a fun Easter egg/trivia answer.
Also why would Bond need a guide, are we to believe he didn't know where the love of his life was laid to rest? Surely he'd have visited in previous years
Yes, probably ... this Bond has trouble letting go, even with a t-shirt, haha.
But I don't quite get what was going on towards the end of the film with his left eye, which Bond blows-up or short-circuits with the watch given to him by Q. Did I miss something? Is that supposed to be another bionic eye, it can't have been the original one ... not that it really matters.
The exact number of bionic eyes in the film is a bit of a course of confusion for me :)
It’s amusing how the themes of “eyes and sight” from Spectre manifest themselves quite literally in NTTD.
I like that idea and it's much more in keeping with M's character, in my opinion.
Is it Primo's on the cushion? Do we see him without it?
We see him pick it up off the ground after the three gentlemen carrying it die and puts it back into his empty eyesocket.
We see him putting it back in, in the ensuing chaos. Cant remember if we see him without it.
But it raises another question, how the heck did Blofeld get away with wearing a bionic eye while in his cell? He was being monitored. Surely someone would have noticed a Blofeld that suddenly had two eyes?
Again, not that any of this detracts from my love & enjoyment of the film ....
Beat me to it!
