Me too. It's a brutal, visceral car chase with razor sharp editing.
Jason Bourne-fans :-).
Au Contraire GG,i actually hate the Bourne films and don't own any of them ;)
You don't need to. You own QoS.
And I LOVE IT !
He he .
MOD EDIT: images directly taken from QOS and SP removed.
I think this sums it up nicely....
Ooowh, I think it is, I think it is dear @BondJames :-). Generic movie watchers in the end judge a film by its looks and the feel of it. SP is instantly the more stylish, more Bond-ish entry. You name some nice examples for QOS, but they feel flat to me because of the overall look and feel of the film. Not to mention the editing and the bloated, fast pace.
So youre classing SP's use of Blofeld as a stick to beat QOS with here are you?
So you're here :-).
If I was to describe them at a high level in terms of their visual vibe, I would say that QoS is Bond by way of Bourne, and SP is Bond by way of Kubrick.
Dear @BondJames. As we both are huge Bond nerds.....you only found that out recently?? I am disappointed :-P.
Speaking of that classic, tomorrow is the 40th anniversary of its release (7/7/77). I have a very busy day and so unfortunately won't be able to view it in honour, but will definitely get to it this weekend and will pay attention to that scene to see Kubrick's influence. It will be bittersweet of course since Sir Rog is no longer with us.
Bugger never realised it was the anniversary. I watched it last week as part of my post holiday Rogerthon.
I might watch this instead then which I discovered on youtube the other day and vaguley remember hearing of but have never seen before:
Typical EON not to include this doc on the feeble 50th Bluray set.
Paul Greengrass fan actually. He'd be a better Bond director than Sam bloody Mendes!
Except he wouldnt because he's a raving lefty who despises Bond.
I didn t get to see TSWLM in 77, but I watched that documentary on tv, it was aired in two or three parts. Maybe more, don t remember.
Yeah, I know. Unfortunate as he would be an ideal candidate.
Love his directing skills, hate his politics.
Doesn't seem to mind making films about American spies though.....
May I ask you what exactly makes you the ultimate judge in these regards? How about you allow people to have their own taste that,by the way, may be considerably better than yours. Just saying.
Yeah but Bourne's a good, honest salt of the earth guy who has been manipulated by 'The Man' into killing.
Bond on the other hand is a disgusting imperialist and, worst of all, proud to be British, which is the the most heinous crime you can commit in this country as far as the rabid left are concerned.
This in itself would be and not too difficult feat, but I have been very underwhelmed by the last Bourne effort.
