"Bond, James Bond." It is one of the most popular introductions in the history of Hollywood cinema in the United States. Agent 007 has gone through nearly 60 years from "Dr. 007 No No" in 1962 to "007: No Time to Die" released at the moment. Such a long-lived film IP is very rare, maintaining a continuous production state, and the influence has gone beyond the scope of film, becoming part of the history of the development of world film culture and image, making the film arouse the second brush of many Bond fans.

In the past 60 years, there have been 6 actors who have starred in 007 James Bond, and Daniel Craig played Bond, who is the last to play this role, he has been controversial from the beginning of his role, to becoming the most acclaimed 007 spokesperson because of this role, which can be called the classic agent image of film history. The film is Daniel Craig's fifth 007 film in 15 years, and many fans are loyal fans of his rugged appearance. The handsome image of the handsome English gentleman of the previous 007 Pierce Brosnan is not quite the same as that of Daniel Craig. The more palatial 007 is played by Roger Moore, who starred in 7 007 films, and in the memories of many Chinese audiences, he is the more pure James Bond, who was still fresh in the memory of fans at that time through video to bring about world movies.

In fact, Daniel Craig's portrayal of the tough-looking 007 is the representative of commercial films as popular culture, not only keeping up with the trend of the times artistically, but also branding the deep mark of the 21st century. Daniel is tall and strong, although handsome, but not handsome, but a cold tough guy style, his tough and clean training, influenced by action movies such as "Spy Heavy", the style of "fist to flesh" has satisfied the cool feeling of many young audiences. The 007 film he starred in not only has the style of gunfight explosions in the Brosnan 007 version, but also has a realistic confrontation design with action scenes.

Solid guns and scenes, without fancy design, are a common feature of the Daniel version of the 007. The action style is realistic, and the core story depth is also changing. In today's world, the political situation is relatively stable, how to continue the spy story born in the 1950s is the problem of 007 creators, is like the previous generation of 007 "Mission Impossible", the imaginary enemy of the Eastern European superpowers? Or is it like the popular movies of the moment, portraying a continuous stream of terrorism? Leave creators without knowing how to conceive.

When the film lacks enemies to hit, the way to attract the audience is to change the actors, and perhaps increase the publicity selling point. The film 007 is "retired", and his job and code name are replaced by the new black woman 007. The film covers all the previous clues: including 007's nostalgia for his previous girlfriend, forming a family of three with his current girlfriend Madeleine, separating from the CIA's allies, completely eliminating the righteous brother and his evil organization Devil Party, retiring in his own spy unit, not having a good relationship with his boss M, and being photographed on the beach by 007, a new black woman in the "back wave", and finally returning home, which is simply a naked middle-aged social relationship history.

Indeed, the protagonist of 007 is old, daniel Craig is a 53-year-old middle-aged uncle this year, if you continue to let him go to heaven and earth, the fist show muscle is too cruel. 007 represents the fashion of spies: suit bow tie, retro luxury car, dew groove beauty, novel equipment, gentry party, vodka martini, etc., all these pleasant adventure elements and gentleman taste, constitute the Chinese audience's imagination of the British spy fashion, that is the British gentleman's cultural taste and life style.

The film Daniel Craig not only interprets the taste of British culture, but also restores the depth of 007's story. 007 Bond suspects that his girlfriend Madeleine has betrayed him, so he sends Madeleine on the train and breaks up. From the memorable killings of 007: Casino Royale and 007: Ghost Party to Bond's discovery that Madeleine had given birth to his daughter, the blue eyes are exactly the same, and the layers form a circle. For the safety of his mother and daughter, and to save the world, Bond chose to sacrifice himself. This is Daniel Craig's warmest farewell to the role of Bond, and it is also the end of the life of 007 he plays in the movie, and it is the most perfect interpretation of the end of the 007 series legend. The film's Bond is single-minded, family-loving, and tired of work, because the tough guy has a concern to reveal his true feelings, he is no longer the cold killing machine he once was, he will be old, he will be injured, and he will be powerless. Once he was just a secret agent, he was a lover and a father in the film. Bond, like all miserable middle-aged people, endured not the torture inflicted by his enemies, but the human sophistication of complex social relations. His fragility and tiredness stem from the emotions of ordinary people, the enemy threatens his daughter, he has to kneel down and apologize, he must save his beloved. With the bondage of lover and family, the "superhero" faces the dilemma between everyone and the small family, although the iron-blooded and tender hero is set as a cliché, but such a Bond is very real and grounded. The interpretation of these painful plots is similar to the development of action movies into ethical films of film serials.

The details of the film, there are five points worth affirming. First, the reason why Bond sacrificed himself is also amazing, he is not to save the world, but to be poisoned by a poison that is harmless to himself but cannot meet madeleine's mother and daughter, otherwise they will die. High-tech settings such as: nanorobots, DNA gene biochemical weapons, let people marvel at the power of high-tech biochemical weapons. Second, the film's 3D audio-visual photography effect is shocking, and Chinese audiences can travel to Italy, Cuba, Jamaica, Norway and England under the normalization of epidemic prevention. In particular, the action and various scene designs make the film's 007 return to tradition - flying car stunts, hand-to-hand combat and gun battles are all smooth. It is worth mentioning that Bond was blown up by a bomb at the beginning of the film, and when he woke up, he found that his ears were broken for a short time, and the sound he heard had a dull effect, and the sound effects brought a sense of immersion. Third, like the appearance of the enemy in the 1960s, the film can intuitively feel the evil of the enemy, and through the appearance defects such as the one-eyed dragon and the marijuana face, the image of the evil enemy is created. Fourth, the film continues the tradition of placing the enemy's poison garden base on the Russian border far inland. There, they planted DNA genetic biochemical weapons that destroyed all mankind, and eventually 007 also used missiles to completely blow up the spectacle of evil bases once again. Finally, the humor of the film not only comes from the standard of each 007 two elegant beauties, but also has many classic 007 elements designed and remodeled, which is worth the second brush of Bond fans!
