YO, if you talk about the secret agent type of film and television works, you must not be able to avoid the originator level and evergreen agent series, that is James Bond!
James Bond is a 1953 character by novelist Ian Fleming, an agent of the British Secret Intelligence Service, codenamed 007.
The 007 series has been officially defined as orthodox so far, with a total of 24 film works, plus the latest "No Time to Die" is 25!
In 60 years, there have been 6 actors who played 007 Agent James Bond, each of whom has made a deep impression at different times and times.
Of course, no matter which James Bond agent, how can you get less Martini, but also "shake well, do not stir" such a subvert the traditional Martini method of Bond Martini!
The six Bond agents were Sean Connery from 1962 to 1971 and made six 007 films.
In 1969, only one film was made, George Razby, called The Queen's Secret Envoy.
Roger Moore, who shot seven films from 1973 to 1985.
Timothy Dalton, who shot 2 films from 1987 to 1989.
Pierce Brosnan, who shot 4 films from 1995 to 2002.
And today we focus on the 007 series played by Daniel Craig from 2006 to the present!
For me, of course, it was Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig's version of the 007 series that made me really focus on james bond as a special agent.
Pierce Brosnan is handsome and calm, smiling and somewhat sunny, gentle and elegant in conversation, and his figure of 1 meter 86 is the material for secret agents.
But the years are the same reason to put the pig killing knife everywhere, Brosnan was 48 years old when he filmed the last "Choose the Day to Die", his posture and face are slightly haggard, and the excessive dependence on the presentation of high technology in the film (fake big space) also reflects the old agent's inability to do some tasks.
Although "Die on a Chosen Day" achieved the best box office ever in the 007 series at the time, Brosnan still chose to retire from the success and no longer play James Bond.
So the choice of new James Bond actors in the new century was put on the agenda.
There were more than 200 male actors on the shortlist during that time, including Henry Cavill, Colin Farrell, and Hugh Jackman, the wolf uncle whom everyone was very optimistic about.
However, after a year of casting, the filmmakers held a press conference, and the next James Bond turned out to be Daniel Craig.
Both in the novel and in the previous 007 series of movies, Bond has brown-black hair, a tall figure, and an angular heroic face.
But Daniel Craig can be said to be almost the opposite of the Bond that everyone remembers in appearance, Daniel has a blonde hair, his figure is shorter than the previous Bond actor, his face is not very handsome, and there is no well-known masterpiece before, which makes 007 fans know the news at the beginning after an uproar, very unoptimistic Daniel Craig.
The above is discussed in detail in the documentary "Becoming James Bond", and you can pay attention to it if you are interested.
So Daniel completed his first 007 film in a lot of negative controversy, 2006's "007: Vs Casino Royale", the film's super high reputation made Daniel Craig's image as Bond completely reversed, and the box office became the highest-grossing film in the 007 series at that time (not considering inflation).
So next, let's walk into the review and analysis of Daniel Craig's version of the 007 series of works to help you better learn the new, seamless connection with the latest and daniel version of the last 007 movie "No Time to Die"!
So let's put the time back in 2006...
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="49" >007: Casino Royale</h1>
"007: Casino Royale" is a relatively early story of James Bond from the timeline.
The film's director is Martin Campbell, who directed Brosnan's 007 "GoldenEye" in 1995, which was also considered a classic of James Bond's rebirth.
Perhaps the filmmakers also need this good omen, in Daniel's first film as a new role as Bond, the filmmakers invited Back Martin Campbell to direct, and he also lived up to expectations, in the case of many people not optimistic about this Bond, successfully shaped Daniel as a new generation of James Bond's 007 Agent image!
So what kind of Bond growth story does this movie tell?
Let's put the time back to Bond not yet becoming a level 00 agent and start talking.
The film first uses a black-and-white retro presentation to quickly tell how Bond advanced to become a level 00 high-quality agent.
In Braque, the MI6 division, Bond is waiting in his office for a traitor from a top intelligence officer who mocks Bond for not being a Level 00 agent and not having killed anyone.
But then Bond talks about killing 2 people, one of whom is the contact of the intelligence traitor.
Before the intelligence traitor and Bond could finish their routine, Bond shot him directly, explaining that the second person he had killed was the intelligence traitor.
As a result, James Bond successfully rose to prominence as Agent 007, with higher rights and, of course, a higher-risk mission.
So coincidentally, Uncle Ba also happened to be a high-risk investment banker Russifu, he only cooperated with terrorist organizations to help them invest and launder money, this time through a mysterious man named Mr. Bai, and Ugandan arms dealers borrowed a hundred million US dollars, and promised a high rate of return.
After getting the money, Lasifou immediately shorted an airline.
At this time, MI6 found the clue and asked Bond to start an investigation, so he sent him to Madagascar to catch a bomber alive to ask about the situation, but the pig-like teammates revealed their whereabouts, and Bond could only stage a cool running fight with the bombers, jumping up and down the streets of Uganda and construction buildings.
This scene also shows Bond's desperation and dedication to the task, and of course shows his slight arrogance.
Why? Because when the bomber ran to the embassy to seek asylum, Bond was not afraid, directly in the embassy smashed, after catching the bomber, because it was surrounded by groups, directly blew up the backyard of the people and killed the bomber, leaving a huge mess and diplomatic crisis for the British government to wipe the butt.
This also led to MI6 boss Mrs. M furious at Bond's approach! But Bond didn't find anything out, he got the phone that the bomber had been carrying, and the phone showed a text message: ... The ellipsis is not the word I omitted, it is this English word called an ellipsis.
After that, Bond also entered Mrs. M's house without permission, and Mrs. M was very unhappy with Bond, and even regretted promoting Bond to a level 00 agent, and asked him to take a long vacation to reflect on it, and told Bond that blind conceit would only make him self-destructive.
Here it seems that the boss wiped the ass of the subordinate to vent, but in fact, Mrs. M has seen Bond's weakness from the previous things, impulsive and reckless, and will not calmly analyze, and ultimately has to pay a price.
Bond had actually hacked into Mrs. M's computer to get the highest authority to continue cracking the text message, which he found was coming from the Bahamas.
He then went to the Bahamas on vacation, knocked someone else's car out of the hotel with a thud, and then successfully found the person in the monitoring room who sent the text message at the time, a rich man named Alex.
After Bond used his beauty, successfully attracted the attention of the rich man's mistress, and also won the rich man's Aston Martin in a small gamble, by the way, Aston Martin has always been the exclusive car of the 007 series, starting from a long time ago, it can be described as an iron Aston Martin, a flowing James Bond actor.
Bond and his mistress are "wiping out their guns" in the room, trying to come up with the content of the "ellipsis" text message, but at this moment, the mistress tells bond that the rich man is going to fly to Miami tonight, so Bond gives up spending the night together and decides to spend the night with the rich man tonight.
Bond then followed the rich man to the human specimen exhibition hall, the rich man put a package and other connectors there, at this time the rich man has also found Bond, and Bond compared to the wrist to see who is more powerful, Bond three or two times the rich man turned into a human specimen, but the package has been taken away, Bond chased after him to the Miami airport.
It turned out that the "ellipsis" text message was the code to open the internal door of the airport security, and the mysterious man was a new bomber, and his purpose was to blow up the first S570 giant plane, so that it could make the aviation stock market turbulent, and Lacifer could make a lot of money with empty gloves white wolves.
However, at this time, the whereabouts of the bomber were locked by Bond, the two played a drag racing scene at the airport, seeing that the water tanker hijacked by the bomber was about to crash into the plane, Bond controlled the car at a critical moment, and put the miniature bomb near the bomber's ass hole pocket, and the bomber himself directly exploded.
The plane did not blow up successfully, the aviation stock market was not greatly affected, Lasifou owed the terrorists a hundred million DOLLARs, in order to fill the vacancy, Lasifou decided to open a high-end gambling game in a small and hidden country like montenegro, and then use his superb card technology to win a small target, a hundred million, in order to pay off the debt.
Mi6 naturally could not allow this open legal transaction to proceed, so it borrowed money from the British government, let Bond, who was also a first-class player in the game, participate in this gamble, and won Russifo's money so that he could only seek refuge in Britain in the end, so that the British government could get more terrorist intelligence.
However, Mrs. M is still worried about Bond's mess, and sends Lady Lian of the Treasury Department to play Bond's girlfriend to supervise Bond.
On the way, Bond found that he and Ms. Lian were very chatty, and What Bond said could be caught by Ms. Lian, and from time to time he ironically from the words, the two did not give in to each other on the surface, but they soon became good girlfriends inside.
Arriving at the destination, Bond got an Aston Martin from the advertiser and equipment from michiko, where they also met with local counterpart Maximus.
The game soon began, and at first Bond deliberately lost miserably in order to observe the small movements of his opponent Lasifou, such as when Rasifou was nervous to cheat the cards, his dead fish eye would twitch, and he had to deliberately block it with his fingers, and these details were seen through by Bond.
At halftime, Lasifou returned to his room and was chased by the original arms dealer creditor, almost Lasifo's girlfriend lost a hand, and Lasifo promised to win the money back soon to ease the situation.
After the two little black brothers of the arms dealer left, they found Bond who looked at the door and saw the agent pretending to be a couple.
The two sides then engaged in a fierce fight, during which Lady Lian also stepped forward to help Bond, who was able to take down the arms dealer.
But then Ms. Lian suffered from PTSD as quickly as possible, and let the cold ice rain slap her face in the bathroom, bond saw the situation and rushed to comfort Ms. Lian, and the two of them wet together.
The gamble continues, Bond thinks he can see through Rasifou, to play the last all in, the result is smart but mistaken by clever, Lasifo has already prejudged Bond's prejudgment, Bond lost to the end.
In the end, the reason is the light enemy caused by Bond's conceit, Bond wants to borrow money from the finance department again and is rejected, seeing that Bond wants to directly kill Lasifou, Bernard who escaped from the Westworld suddenly stopped Bond, he blew himself up that he was the United States CIA, and this line has been a long time, but his card skills are too bad to lose soon, it is better to gamble again, this time it is a bet on Bond, so the CIA brother gave Bond 5 million to let him return to the table to turn over, the money won belonged to Bond, and the Lasifos returned to the United States.
After negotiating the conditions, Bond re-dressed up and fights again, and calmly thinks about the steps as a camp, at which point Lasifou uses the plot to poison Bond's wine.
Bond hurriedly excused himself to leave, and quickly ran to the car to find a first aid kit, he first injected himself with a dose to stabilize, but the toxicity was too big and the heartbeat quickly stopped, only the heartbeat resuscitation could save him, it was difficult to paste but the button did not respond, a look at the original line did not plug Bond's heart stopped beating.
End of film (not)
It wasn't over, but Lady Lian arrived in time, connected the line and reactivated Bond's heartbeat, allowing Bond to return to the table.
Soon Bond's chips were increasing, and finally the moment for ALL IN came again, and the cards in everyone's hands seemed to be good, Lasifou first brightened the cards, 3 A belts against 6, a very strong full house.
But Bond's cards were even better, it was Flush 4 to 8, and he won all 150 million in the game.
After that, Bond and Ms. Lian celebrated, but how can things be so simple, Ms. Lian was kidnapped just after leaving on the front foot, bond chased after it and directly overturned the car in order to avoid Ms. Lian lying on the road.
So the two were taken away directly by Lasifou, who also staged a lot of villains, saying that the local connector Mathis was his good buddy, and Bond had long been betrayed.
After Bond was stripped naked and interrogated by Russifo, staged an egg knocking, originally Russifo thought that he could force Bond to say the password, but he never expected it, Bond was an iron egg, the more he knocked people, the more excited he was.
After the abuse can not be engaged in psychological tactics, not far away Ms. Lian's screams are still here and there, but the tough guy Bond life root can not be ignored and there is nothing to consider, seeing that Bond is about to be destroyed by Russifu, then Lady Lian's gunshots came.
The door is suddenly opened, and Mr. Bai at the beginning of the film appears, killing Russifo neatly, but leaving Bond's life.
Bond wakes up in the nursing home, and at the same time, Lady Lian is saved, when the traitor Mathis reappears, and he asks why Mr. Bai didn't kill them directly, Bond didn't think too much, he just wanted to catch Mathis first.
After that, Ms. Lian accompanied Bond to really recuperate her body, and the two of them experienced first-hand whether Bond's iron egg was still good, and it seemed to be running well.
Bond fell in love after all this, and they transferred the gambling money they had won in the Swiss bank to the British government.
Bond and Lady Lian also embark on a sweet round-the-world trip, first to the water city of Venice, where the two continue to spend their good time like glue.
A certain Nichiren insisted that the cost of this trip should be AA system, she was going to go to the bank to withdraw money to Bond, at this time Bond was still unsuspecting, then Mrs. M called and asked Bond when will you transfer the 150 million back to the British government?
Bond's brain buzzed, he was originally blinded by the love brain, Bond immediately chased up, saw Lady Lian handed over the money to a one-eyed man.
The one-eyed man soon discovers Bond, and the two sides engage in a fierce fight, directly destroying a building in Venice, in the process, although Bond kills the one-eyed man, the mysterious Mr. White escapes in the confusion with the money in the box.
And Ms. Lian deliberately locked herself in the elevator and sank into the water to die, and Bond's love also followed Ms. Lian to death.
It turns out that Lasifou is not the biggest villain, and the money he lost is not his money, but the more powerful force behind Lasifou, the representative of this force is Mr. Bai, in order to make this money smoothly enter his pocket, Mr. Bai kidnapped Ms. Lian's legitimate boyfriend and made Ms. Lian a traitor at some point.
At that point in time, when Bond was practicing Iron Egg Gong, Lasifos could not figure out the password, and killing Bond could only let the money sink into the sea, and at this time, Mr. Bai and Ms. Lian talked about the conditions, and Ms. Lian promised to give the money to Mr. Bai after getting the money in her hand in order to save her boyfriend and Bond.
Although Ms. Lian betrayed Bond, she also really liked Bond and saved Bond 3 times in the process!
The first time was when Bond and the arms dealer were fighting, she stopped the pistol, the second time was to give Bond heart resuscitation, and the third time was to negotiate terms with Mr. Bai to save Bond.
Bond did not understand at first, only knew that Lady Lian had betrayed and scolded her as a stinky bitch, but through Mrs. M, she woke up a little, Bond's love for Lady Lian was true, and Lady Lian's true feelings for Bond could not be faked, but the fate of the agent may have long been doomed, Bond chose this path, and could only self-castrate the children's love and the last bit of emotion.
Although Ms. Lian is dead, she still leaves a valuable clue for Bond, who finds Mr. Bai from the mobile phone she deliberately left behind, and directly finds his home...
007: Casino Royale is based on James Bond's first novel, Casino Royale, published in 1953, and was adapted into a TV series and a comedy film in 1954 and 1967, but neither of them was included in the 007 series.
Now talk about the 2006 "007: Battle Royal Casino" can be said to cater to the aesthetic taste of the new era of the public for action movies, the fight action scenes are more realistic, the rhythm and relevance of the plot are linked, but they do not fall into the cliché, even if you go to watch it today, you can still be locked on the screen by the suspense points and action scenes set by the film, and you don't know who the last villain is at the last moment, even if it is clear, it will be moved by the complex and sincere emotions in the film.
There is also the natural tense and exciting atmosphere on the gambling game, as well as the key moment of Bond's emergency crisis, which add weight to the wonderful points of the film, which can be said to be described as a good drama that is breathless.
Bond's character is more grounded, Daniel shows everyone a real and credible, crisp and neat and a little cynical, with a little humor from time to time can also say two yellow paragraphs, not deliberately, and even a little unscrupulous.
And this film pays more attention to the portrayal of Bond's emotions, Bond's emotional part, the film boldly placed in the fourth act that was originally the key tension to fight the villain.
The emotional arc between Bond and Ms. Lian is tense and powerful, and it can blossom and bear fruit at the end, but it is regrettable, and it also makes people see Bond's rare tenderness like water.
And the final reversal also gives us a clear understanding of how Bond slowly faded the last softness in his heart, and from then on he put on a ruthless and cold mask and armor, unwilling to trust anyone anymore.
The reason why the film successfully portrayed Daniel into a new James Bond is also because in the previous works, we rarely see why Bond can become Bond, but there is a big crisis waiting for Bond to save the world.
This "Casino Royale" put more time on Bond's growth path, you can carefully recall that the villain Lasifou's role is actually not much, and Mr. Bai behind the scenes has appeared only a few times.
And the real enemy Bond has to face in this movie is not them, but himself! And the truth he gave.
At first, Bond paid the price for his recklessness and arrogance, and even the rich man's mistress was indirectly killed by Bond, and in the gambling game, Bond's overconfidence made him almost unable to turn over.
And Bond's biggest weakness is also an advantage, that is, it is difficult to move the truth, but was fiercely deceived by Ms. Lian, although in the end Bond saw Ms. Lian's good intentions, but with the departure of Ms. Lian, Bond can never go back.
The deepest motif of the film is also this, that is, to use a tense and exciting task to reflect the tragic fate of the agent, the agent seems to have the protagonist's aura on the surface and can not die, but the heart has long been fragmented and cannot be repaired.
Because of this, "007: Casino Royale" makes me feel that the Daniel version can best reflect James Bond's true feelings, of course, "Skyfall" is also very strong, that is another theme of exploration.
So next, Mr. Bai has fallen into the hands of Bond, and what trouble will Mr. Bai cause to Bond? Then look forward to the next issue of 007: Quantum of Solitaire Crisis!
