No. He still i sone of several choices.
@Aziz - times change. Its not as easy as it was. Get your brain cells off the 70's and 80's and 90's and come to face reality. We are in 2013...just reminding....
No, because there at least three threads discussing it already..
What missing h?
:-\"
It's been included in the original post.. along the timeline, but it shouldn't be the direct topic of this thread when the same discussion is being held multiple times.
nothing official but something interesting
So is Eva Green, Claudine Auger, Sophie Marceau, Corrine Clery, Carole Bouquet and many more actresses I am no doubt grazing over, but I never compare any of them. The women share a nationality, but they are able to have distinctive performances in the Bond films.
I had never realised there were so many French Bond girls!
And all of them are extremely beautiful, the majority of them fantastic Bond girls! I say cast more French women in Bond films!
I, too, never put them all together in such a way. You're right in that aspect, apologies for seeming simple-minded.
No apologies needed; it is impossible for you to seem such a way.
Aren't you forgetting a few :-?
I was talking about the remarkable Green/Kurylenko/Marlohe three French in a row DC's "main" Bond girl. It doesn't mean we saw them here a lot to promote the movies though. For CR, it was even Caterina Murino who did most of the job actually - doing the interviews, doing almost all the speaking at the French premiere, etc... (she's Italian, but she speaks perfect French and actually has a 90% French carreer I guess, she even was in two very successful French films before CR, including a mega-hit which did more than SF did later)
as long as Cotillards character is not going to die in the film... (remember Dark Knight Rises?)
The only ones who don't agree with you are those who only see the Bond girl as being the sexiest with the most screen time who Bond beds the most. M was most certainly THE Bond girl of SF.
Hm, don't forget those who use "Bond girl" when the role fits the archetypal formula, and won't try to bend the rules to try to fit anything to it. Of course, M is more a main character than Severine in SF, but calling M a Bond girl feels wrong to me. First, the role could have been played by a man IMO, something you can't really say for any other Bond girl...
On a tangentially related point, M's has a line of dialogue in GE, "I think you're a sexist, misogynist dinosaur, a relic of the Cold War, whose boyish charms, though wasted on me, obviously appeal to that young woman I sent to evaluate you" but in the original script it was "I think you're a sexist, misogynist dinosaur, a relic of the Cold War, whose boyish charms, I might actually have succumbed to ten years ago, obviously appeal to that young woman I sent to evaluate you." - would have put a whole different twist on their relationship, in the Brosnan era at least
:-&
"Bond, ten years ago, you could have had me in an instant. Now, you'll have to report to Moneypenny for your sexual innuendos. We will merely speak with sexual tension in the air."
;) :D
