If you mean Brofeld, I'd actually say NTTD almost goes out its way to ignore it as much as it possibly can despite Blofeld being in the film.
Yes. Blofeld makes a reference to the cuckoo, and the fact that Bond and Blofeld are foster brothers is given some importance, but Bond calls him Blofeld the entire time.
It's not. Q refers to it.
Do audiences like Bond? For years I've read and heard people calling for Bond to end and with Bond being unceremoniously decimated, and seeing people rate this as a great movie, or best Bond ever and to hear people cheering at the end, I have to question if this is more a celebration of thinking this is an end to Bond mores than triumphant appraisal of the movie being THAT good.
I almost laughed (in a good way) when Q makes it very clear that Bond and Blofeld aren't blood related. It felt like the producers were directly speaking to fans who still think of them as actual brothers.
I hope that's just a silly italian translation given how (in)famous were Berlusconi's bunga bunga party.
Pretty sure he said that in English....
OMG really? That's silly.
Had it in the German dub, too.
She also tells Bond the exact same story about "a man coming to my home to kill my father", as she told him on the train in SP. There was no need for that. At least she could have started the sentence with "as you know..."
I think I heard that too, pretty sure that’s something PWB would input
Yeah I noticed that at the time, and I never put two and two together, it was subtle. I took it like she was just so physically by Bond's coldness towards her. Didn't think that's what they were aiming for
Did anyone know what Madeline wrote on her piece of paper?
It was her chippy order but then she realised Matera has Ubereats.
I immediately thought "OK, she's pregnant" and it kinda spoiled the surprise for me. But maybe it's like you said and it was not their intention, but just my imagination. ;)
Lovely stuff :)>-
Thank you. Trust me take a sip of my drink at
a key moment
Not sure how I felt about the title sequence this time round. It wasn't memorable for me and my overriding thoughts were nerves when I saw the hourglass (especially given Bond had said "we have all the time in the world") I had horrible feeling they were implying my biggest fear for NTTD
My feelings exactly, @bondsum. It’s because the first part of the film is so good that the rest enrages me so much.
Great point. I think many are applauding the film for killing off the "outdated misogynist white male colonizer" whether they admit it, even to themselves, or not.
Yes, James will return but in what form? I think folks who are hoping for something closer to the Bond films of yore are going to be sorely disappointed.
Some have even said (this is likely too far-fetched) that they are setting up Bond's daughter to be his successor and that Paloma will be her "trainer". It sounds crazy but that's par for the course in today's mainstream Hollywood, and I wouldn't place the Bond saga outside that realm of influence.
Thoughtfully written, and I'm glad you were able to see it fresh without spoilers ahead of time. Thank you, @LizW. I'm also female; in addition, I am one of the oldest fans here. I agree with your points, and I like this film VERY much. It will be the most divisive (for longtime Bond fans) of all the films throughout the history of the franchise. Because of the ending, I don't see how one can be "in the middle" for this one. I rank it very highly, and I hope it does great box office. Certainly, it was beautifully filmed and acted. I'm seeing it again in 2 days.
I can at least certainly see how it ranks as the middle of Craig's entries for some people, but even in those situations I think it'll be a fixture in most top/bottom 5s or so.
