Was Broz channelling Jack Wade in that scene? Presumably he was deep under cover as a sleazy Brit businessman abroad.
Newman didn't even score the SF section that referenced the song himself - it was beneath him. He left it to an underling. It's a brief moment when the SF score rises above the banal. Shows what might have been.
What I'm talking about is a theme from the title song fully interwoven in the score as a recurring motif, a la Barry in his prime.
It's especially lovely to hear the Moonraker theme throughout the movie. And Octopussy too.
The exotic has also made some sort of a comeback in the Craig era, despite people saying Craig as grounded Bond. What? Komodo dragons in a floating casino; a day of the dead parade; villains who weep blood and have a disfigured facial structure due to a bad cyanite pill;... These are the traits only the Bond films have. I hope they make full use of them in the 25th.
So, exotism and hedonism, that's what I want from Bond25, in spades.
Yes, indeed. They always work out better this way, don't they? It's way more cinematic.
Also yes there's a celebration of the exotic in the best Bond films. And a touch of the weird and surreal. I agree that the Craig era has subtly brought this back.
Also in the Inside Man track which plays after the Siena chase and before the Russia scene.
Another Way To Die is also woven into the score many times, although it's very subtle and hard to notice unless one pays attention. The most prominent case is Pursue at Port Au Prince, but it's also in Greene and Camille or Time to Get Out, to name a couple.
Interesting. I'd not noticed the references to AWTD. Respect to Arnold for doing this. It's a weak title song but not as bad as some say.
I've always liked it myself. The vocals and lyrics are a little rough but the instrumental is awesome. It fits the film perfectly IMO.
BTW, this always happens when someone starts talking about composers. Always.
That being said, why is there a separate thread for the Bond25 filming. Get's a bit confusing, doesn't it?
It's been pointed out to me what I thought was a section of "Another Way to Die" on the way Mathis' villa is more likely the very similar melody from David Arnold's own "No Good About Goodbye". There's a Shirley Bassey version of it.
I'll always hear "Another Way to Die" watching the film, though.
They are also comparing EON to MCU and the hype juggernaut of Endgame . Possibly some lazy hack has been listening to some of the verbal diarrhoea that certain members spout here when they feel like kicking the series because it doesn't deliver on their expectations.
I don't know the idea mayeb to spur him onto produce a CR standard performance by bad mouthing him but the press really don't like Daniel Craig.
I imagine he's going to smash it out the park and leave those talentless copy and pasters eating their words.
They'll be eating out of his hand come release when the film is grabbing raves across the board.
It's The Sun after all…
Dencik is going there, too, "later this week for some action stuff."
Seems Jamaica will feature more than just as a place of Bond's vacation. Maybe it will double for somewhere else, like Bahamas doubled for Madagascar in CR.
EDIT: Just read that Sun article for the heck of it. Total trash.
