And TMWTGG is god awful.
So sorry for the miss-quote and miss-spelling. Please don't gang up on me.
She experienced such traumatic experiences trough her childhood, went into hiding from everyone to escape her father and his silly life, learning to trust no one, being accused of betrayal even if totally innocent by the man she thought loved her and then raised their daughter all alone.
She even tells it to Bond, that since they don’t trust anyone they were fools for trying.
I understand some people feels there’s a lack of chemistry between them but their final scene is just heartbreaking and proves that from an emotional standpoint before that fatal ending they were just two persons defined by tragedy and cursed by death fearing to open up and fully embrace their feelings.
This reminds me, I have to recount Paloma's kills, she pegged quite a few Spectre agents
10/12.
There’s such a look of relief on his face when she says she loves him at the last minute. He knew, but he needed to hear it again.
Such an opposite experience from her being the first to say it so quickly in Spectre.
It took me right out of the movie. I hated Rambo-Bond in Tomorrow Never Dies, and I hate him now.
You've never fought scores of guys with only a machine gun before, have you?
Thought not.
:))
This happens all the time. It is due to the difficulty of editing a chain of quotes. If you delete a character too many, or little, it gets bungled.
I would never criticize another Bond fan's preferences. It's all Bond. But one has to admit: Moonraker moved (to a galaxy) far, far away from the typical Bond film. That's not a criticism. just an objective observation.
It goes from some of the daftest moments (a double-taking parrot, Jaws in love, Jaws trying to fly like a bird, the British Airways billboard etc) to one of the most gruesome moments of Rog's tenure, at least to me....Corinne Dufour being hunted and mauled to death by dogs. I still can't believe they slipped that chilling moment in there after all the levity.
And don't get me wrong, I still prefer MR to anything with Brozza.
Once when you're born,
And once when you look death in the face.
Saw it for the ninth time last night. I really have a true appreciation for the opening in Norway. I think it is brilliantly done, the direction, music, acting, tension... all top notch. I do like it when Bond films go off on a completely different tangent.
Also, I didn't notice this before, when Young Madeleine shoots Safin, she is the one who splinters his Noh mask, direct head shot. If you don't pay attention to it, you'll miss it.
'Moderator Dimi' #-o ...an unfortunate 1st name if ever there was one, I do hope you gave your parents hell for that...
I agree. MR took things too far for me, and that is why it ranks last. But as you note, Corinne's death is a terrific gripping scene (capped by Barry's fantastic score). I also like the moment when Jaws is in costume during Carnival and walks down the alley toward Manuela. It is a creepy scene (perhaps the creepiest in the series).
I have to admit I missed it but it makes sense given that the mask is broken later on
That's why I was expecting Safin to be revealed as Dr No, because the bullet holes in his coat are on the left side where his heart would be.
I still don't know how Safin survived that, was it explained and I missed it?
When Swann is carrying him through the ice we can see him bleeding only from the right side of his body, close to his right arm. He definitely wore a bulletproof vest under the coat. He was shot close to the heart but the didn’t bleed from that part of his body, for example.
Given he was moving slowly and breathing heavily, with a large coat on, I always assumed he was wearing at least a bullet proof vest. He turned up to the house expecting a fight.
Yeah I know. I’ve seen it 7 times and only at my fourth I realized the flowers they put in Swann’s tea are the very same flowers that Safin describes as “the one that makes you do what you’re told”. Only on my seventh I noticed that the buyer’s boats are visible turning around very close to the island’s harbor the moment the missile strikes, for example haha.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if Safin had been Dr. No in an earlier draft. This is another one of the many throwbacks.
In several countries, the film was called The Satanic Doctor No.
