Is Skyfall a metaphor for the world situation?
I start seeing a metaphor for the actual economical situaton in the plot of Skyfall.
Is at the door from West and East, Istanbul, of which Napoleone Bonaparte once said : “ If the World would be a Country, Istanbul would be its Capital City”, that James Bond, our West knight, dies at the beginning of the film.
And that door opens, taking a resurrected – through the title sequence - 007 in the heart of the New Dragon, China, from where he drags back Silva in the heart of the Old Lion, England.
Silva target is M, the keeper of the Old Lion, and…the end is known to all of us.
Any Fellow ProudBondFan idea on it?

Good catch. b-(
I wont go into detail about how Silva once worked for the West, and is not native to China or any other nation of orient, but in fact just a guy that is really mad at his boss.
Just because a character is in a country, doesn't mean that character is from that country.. which is clearly explained in the film.
Your looking way too deep into it.
Interesting to see that many other fans are discovering the layers the exquisit Bond film 'Skyfall' has....
Im talking Economy, not Ethnic
That's what an Austrian born dictator said in the 1930s
:-w and so it begins. Someone please stop this thread.

Yep. I think lots of people are to be honest.
I can't tell if you're joking or if you're actually being serious.
Not in a James Bomd forum thou
:D
Yes, I do think that Skyfall is very relevant in its commentary on data loss (the Gordon Brown Govt. of 2007-2010) and hacking (Wikileaks, Snowden) and the general failure (and unlawful torture of terrorist suspects) of MI6 during the War on Terror in Iraq and Afghanistan from 2001 onwards. That is a large part of its charm and its success. It struck a chord with audiences worldwide in the 2012 Diamond Jubilee and Olympic Year for London. James Bond celebrated 50 years on the silver screen and Skyfall was the answer to the Bond fan's eternal prayer.
@Gustav_Graves' thread will suffice.
