Six words that changed the face of espionage and have held sway over the movie-goers for nearly half a century- the immortal "The name's Bond, James Bond"
I really doubt whether Ian Flemming realised what a phenomenon he was creating while covalescing from an illness during which he penned his first bond novel and now blockbuster Casino Royale. Bond... the beginning.
Bond has given people an ethereal sense of existence capped with a license to kill all under Her Majesty's jurisdiction of course. he lives the fantasy many of us dream. Suave, witty and heroic: he is the epitome of what all of us wish to see in a spy. The racy cars, fabulous women and deranged villains form the standard plot lines but each time in different proportion so as to sustain and keep the audience at the edge of their seats. Exotic places, out-of-the-world gadgets and outrageous albeit sinister plots all rivet the storyline to culminate in a fast-paced thriller ensured to grab your attention for the better part of three hours. Even thought the opening scene is invariably followed by the title song, it has never failed to impress.
The latest bond flick shows the upstart of James. A little violent but amazing in terms of the Stunts ( eye candy!!!).Bahamas is the new location with extra emphasis on the Beach club there (watch out while giving the keys to the valet)... Twas Bond as it was meant to be- action-packed, pretty women, beachy locales and a license to kill. What more can one ask???
Over the years Bond has grown from actor to actor, each with his own characteristics to apply to enigmatic and ever-changing Bond. Ultimately they've come and gone but we never tire of James but have begun to accept his cohorts- M, Q, Moneypenny and the rest of the gang; not just expect but eagerly await their roles (essayed to perfection....) in the twisted convules of the plot. All said and done, the series is all about 007- James Bond... So what are you still reading, go grab a ticket and watch him in his latest larger than life venture: Casino Royale
