The next James Bond movie is still many years away. Because the producers of "007" are still looking for a new James Bond.
As for why it is so difficult to find the path of Bond, it is because of the development of Hollywood over the years, so that the classic role of James Bond must also change. Of course, in addition to 007, Bond Girl has also changed dramatically over the years. Even, a former Bond girl actor believes that there are no more Bond girls today.
In the "007: Man in the Golden Gun" movie, the actress who partnered with Roger Moore, Britt Eklano, commented on the evolution of the Bond girl. In the "007: The Golden Gun Man" movie, she plays Mary, the secretary of 007. Britt Eklano rose to fame with the film "Find Carter", and later she became a rising idol, coupled with her high-profile personal life, and eventually she became a Bond girl. However, many filmmakers evaluate her as: an actress with only a face and no acting skills.
In an interview with Metro, Britt Ekrano recalled her experience playing a Bond girl in a Bond movie. In addition to this, she talked about the image of the Bond girl and how it has changed over the years. The actress admits that the portrayal of female characters in modern Bond films is a huge step forward. However, the actress said she still found the Bond films of her time more interesting.
In response, she said: "There are no more Bond girls, they are the women of today. There's feminism in it, and they're doing much better than we are. However, I feel that this leads to the fact that the film will not be as interesting as it used to be, because we are beautiful and in good shape. We represent sexiness.
We didn't think 'don't do this because it upsets the other party'. We don't have those. At that time, we wore bikinis, and now actresses in Bond movies are dressed very classically. So, in the right view of Hollywood at the moment, the actress in the Bond movie is in a better position, but I think we were happier at that time. ”
Why has the 007 movie changed so dramatically?
The James Bond film series has produced a total of 25 official films in more than 60 years. Even in the history of cinema, it has a unique place. With Daniel Craig's heir searching, it means that everyone is still interested in the 007 movie. In addition to the 007 producer, James Bond fans also participated in the casting of the character.
However, Hollywood has entered a new era, and one of the biggest changes in Bond films is the female characters in the films. In the past, the women in Bond movies were more like a prop in the movie, and the portrayal of the characters was also superficial, and they did not play a particularly important role in the entire movie. That's why, in the Daniel Craig era, Bond girls have changed a lot.
By Daniel Craig's 007 era, from Wesper in "007: Casino Royale" to Paloma and Naomi in "007: No Time to Die", they all played a certain role in the plot, and even fought side by side with Bond. It is worth mentioning that Mary Goodnight played by Britt Eklano. She was originally one of the important female characters in the works of "007" author Ian Fleming, but she was snubbed on the big screen and was just a sexy character. Perhaps, in the future, the new 007 will reinvent this role.
Anyway, as Britt Eklano said, 007 movies have undergone tremendous changes over the past 60 years. Especially the Bond girls of different eras have also changed a lot. So, which James Bond-era Bond girl do you prefer?
