Uhm, no offense, but Duh. This has been the natural conclusion since the first press release about her "past" and all the secrecy around his identity, which is obviously a crucial point in the story. I just hope (pray) that the twist is not that Bond is actually her son and/or they are brothers. Go ahead, laugh, but Bond ends up at his family estate defending a couple pensioners (M and Albert Finney)...so what do you think that's about? The penny may be dropping for some of you, finally, that this is not a traditional Bond film of yore, but another Craig era twist. I'm using neutral language here and I am genuinely curious how audiences will react. I mean, I know it will be a hit, but how will more 'personal drama' play in this escapist franchise.
Anyway, if it's a secret, EON just gave it away. Which would imply there's a further twist, as I say. And I guess explain that blonde hair.
I think it's just Silva taunting 007 about the close relationship he has had with M, almost like a mother and a son.
I think Silva was just taking the piss out of Bond for his relationship with M, since in the last 2 films she's been like his mum. I don't like M being overused in the story again, but it could work. This is probably Dench's last film so for Bond 24 I hope we get a more straight forward Bond/M realtionship.
There is no way Silva is M's son. No way, no how. He's referring to Bond's relationship with M.
I like M's relationship with Bond in Craig's films. I couldn't really care for it in Brosnan's. In Moonraker, the scene where M tells bond to 'take a vacation' gave me a smirk. I like that M trusts Bond, and know's the Bond is the best spy in MI6. I think this is what they're aiming for again in Skyfall.
Either this is a slip up, you're incredibly misinformed, or you've just spoiled a very large part of the film for me. Spoiler tags are there for a reason, why is that so hard for people to comprehend? This is a topic on the trailers and TV spots, not a topic for the ending.
I do agree, though, this is a TV Spot thread, that's in need of a clean up.
Honestly though, no, of course not.
What's with the counter?
Just keeping up to date with the latest news, that's all.
It always works for me.
I don't know. The thing he said about
Yeah, why not. I'd rather not have it hang on the edge for the rest of this three month wait.
Why so hostile? You're worse than some of my ex-girlfriends.
That wasnt hostile at all, just asking a question. If I sounded a little hostile with you, it was because you were totally dismissing my thoughts without knowing anything yourself. Maybe that's what your girlfriends objected to, I couldn't say.
I had no idea, nor am I sure why everyone would know the ending. But, I know it now, there's no going back, and nothing I can do about it. Thanks for an apology.
;)
You make some very good points here. Silva could well be M's son, that isn't far fetched at all in context to the "Mommy" comment. But M and Silva related to Bond? That I can't see. Unless they are going to tell us a story that torpedoes everything Fleming wrote about his background and the death of Bond's parents, which in the past has been acknowledged by EON in at least one special feature on one of the UDVD's, can't remember which one it was on. I'm not buying "Mommy" means Bond is M's son or even that he's referring to their past relationship of CR/QOS until I see the movie. It's all a little too ambiguous to assume the worst case scenario you describe, although it is possible.
What I'm thinking is that Bond takes M to his ancestral home for safety reasons and that Silva somehow finds out about it, especially if there is a high ranking traitor in their midst as they have alluded to. Or it could be that he is a computer specialist like Q and he hacks/intercepts a message from M/Bond to someone they know they can trust. Granted, the traitor can access Bond's file and may put 2 and 2 together for him. He confronts them there where he can find them, and not for some personal reason.
As far as a "traditional film", I suppose it depends on what element(s) you consider to define traditional. We may have a Bond who's initially a little off his game and out of shape but certainly he's not going to be the rookie of the two prior films. If these "twists" make sense and tell a good story, it's certainly going to be more entertaining than the formulaic and cliched same old, same old of other eras.
The same goes for the MI6 interior. Are we seeing the same spaces/rooms in Daniel Craig's Bond movies?
