John Barry started something special all those years ago! The title song performers always cite Bassey! The musical directors that follow always try and emulate Barry to a degree.
Until I came to these forums, no Bond fan I talked to cared about the music. Personally, as long as the Bond theme plays somewhere, I don't care, too much.
On the old MI6forums, many said they became Bond fans after hearing Barry's music.
I had seen and enjoyed every film (at the time, this was 2005, I believe) long before I knew who John Barry was. I recognized his style of music (I guess is the way to put it) because all the movies he scored sounded similar to me, even if the music was radically different, but until 2005 or so, I didn't know who he was (the music credit in each movie seemed to pass me by, somehow).
Just a shame DAD was such a let down otherwise. Hope Skyfall really delivers.
It needs to with all the hype they are giving it? Look at all the differing thoughts and views on here! :))
Every film opens with Fleming's name...
Everything Bond says Albert R. Broccoli's EON Productions Presents FILL IN NAME HERE As Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 In...
Broccoli had TND dedicated to him..
I would love that, think moonraker is last film to use that piece of music. was admittedly slower paced in MR.
But as I said, by itself it is a magnificent piece. I think if it comes back in Skyfall it should be set to an action scene at a quicker pace. (A la FRWL or TB)
Wasn't TWINE towards Llewelyn?
I thought he died a few days after the premiere?
I know my DVD copy at the end has a dedication to him. Maybe it didn't on the films release though..
Like I said, every film opens with Fleming's name. Maybe not literally his name as the first two words appearing on screen, but within 30 seconds of the beginning of the main title sequence we will have read 'Ian Fleming'.
My point therefore is that the films have so far all paid deference to the man's wonderful legacy. 'Dedicated to Ian Fleming' isn't as powerful IMO as constantly reminding us that our beloved cinematic icon, James Bond, is in fact a product of Ian Fleming's remarkable creativity.
And lest I'm mistaken, Dana Broccoli was lovingly remembered at the end of CR.
