Bond has always been a classic action norm, and I really like Daniel Craig as the new bond. Quantum of Solace is the second bond film he has been in, and it starts with his character bond kidnapping a guy he wants to question. Unfortunatly this guy gets away, so bond tracks him to a hotel room where he finds a briefcase, and is mistaken for whoever the bagman was by the main female character Camille. Camille is of course drop dead gorgeous in the movie, and is presented as a woman comparible to bond. Shes extremely beautiful and strong, can fight and fire guns and although she is presented as a strong woman, bond is still supior and has to help her throughout the movie. After some action scenes you eventually find out a group of wealthy investors (all are presented as old rich white men) are attempting to overthrow the Bolivian government and implement a general whome they can control. The general is presented as a foreign warhawk, looking much like sadam husein. Eventually we find out that the evil mastermind behind everything (a rich white guy of course) is trying to gain control of Bolivia's water supply. Bond and Emille head to the generals house to kill him along with greene (the main protaganist), and they do and everyone lives happily ever after.
Throughout the movie anyone and everyone portrayed as british is well dressed and well groomed, projecting a very high economic status of the brits. All the women in the bond film are extremely attractive as well, with the exception of M, who resembles a mother figure.

I enjoy Daniel Craig as the new Bond but Pierce Brosnon was better.I think that the new Bond movies have better scripts. I went to see this movie when it first opned at the box office and liked it alot. The only thing I didnt like was that it was a little short. -Marcus Jones
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this movie a lot. I think that it was better then Casino Royale, and Daniel Craig did a great job as Bond. Hopefully there are more to come!

In cases like this, I think that the reason they put make all the investors the 'rich white men' is because of a worry of having problems with an 'evil' character of a different ethnicity.
