Week 8 [23.11 - 29.11.2015] James Bond

James Bond
James Bond was created in 1953 by Ian Fleming. Until now there have been created 24 films about James Bond by Eon Productions, a Canadian Harry Saltzman and an American Albert Romolo Broccoli. From 1962 the role of James Bond have played 6 actors. They were:



-   Sean Connery – he played in 6 films: “Dr. No” (1962), “From Russia with Love” (1963), “Goldfinger” (1964), “Thunderball” (1965), “You Only Live Twice” (1967) and the last “Diamonds Are Forever” (1971)

 -   George Lazenby – he played only in one film “On her Majesty’s Secret Services” (1969). In this film James Bond got married but at the end his wife was killed...
 -          Roger Moore – he played in 7 films: “Live and Let Die” (1973), “The Man with the Golden Gun” (1974), “The Spy Who Loved Me” (1977), “Moonraker” (1979), “For Your Eyes Only” (1981), “Octopussy” (1983), “A View to a Kill” (1985) and the last “A View to a Kill” (1985)





 


   -          Timothy Dalton – he played in 2 films: “The Living Daylights” (1987)       and “Licence to Kill” (1989)









-          Pierce Brosnan – he played in 4 films: “GoldenEye” (1995) in this film Bond’s girl was Polish actress Izabela Skorupko, “Tomorrow Never Dies” (1997), “The World is Not Enough” (1999) and the last “Die Another Day” (2002)





 


-          Daniel Craig – until today he has played in 4 films: “Casino Royale” (2006), “007 Quantum of Solace” (2008), “Skyfall” (2012) and the last from this year “Spectre” (2015)











In every movie there are many women. Bond always has the best cars and the newest technology made by Q-brand. 007 has many gadgets like a watch with laser or guns and rockets in his car. In one movie his car was invisible or he had  a car which could ride under water and much more unrealistic things.
In my opinion the best actors who played  James Bond were Sean Connery and Daniel Craig. Connery because he was the first James Bond I have ever seen and in my opinion that’s why I like him. Daniel Craig because films with him are a little more realistic. I mean 007 has weak points and there are fewer abstractions.

1.      Have you seen movies with James Bond? Which one do you like the most? Why?
2.      Which actor played 007 the best? Why?
3.      Would you like to be a secret agent “On her Majesty’s secret service”? Why? Why not?

    2. Don't know how to answer this because i've watched maybe 3 part of it and i don't remember about what it was exactly and who was as the main actor.
    3. Someday I wanted to be a secret agent , but why ? I don't know ..

  2. 1. Yeah, definitely, especially when I was younger, but I really don't recognize any specific titles, neither I remember any in specific manner.
    2. Hard to say, I liked Pierce Brosnan, but it was probably because of the movies I did watch, rather than a comparison between all of them.
    3. Hehe, as a child I guess everybody had similar dreams. Not anymore, I prefer to stay as an IT MacGyver ;)

  3. Of course I watched the James Bond films. I love this series and I always look forward to next film. I especially like the new movies of Bond. All movies beginning with Casino Royale I watched at least twice. My favorite movies are Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.

    In my opinion the best actor of the series is Daniel Craig. Maybe becouse I don't like atmosphere of older films about James Bond.

  4. 1.Yes I watched James Bond movies. I'm not a big fan of this series. I only watched "Casino Royale" and "Skyfall". I most like the last. The story was really interesting.
    2. Of course that Daniel Craig, because only this actor I saw in action :)
    3. I don't see any advantage to be a secret agent. I prefer a more quite life.

  5. 1. Yes ! I watched James Bond movies, holy crap I was a fan even though I didn't know titles or what is going on, it was a Bond movie you know :). But it brings some nice memories back then. It was fun, friday evenings and Bond movie ;)
    2. Sean Connery and Daniel Craig - I just like Daniel's stereotype of a 'bad boy' - Casino Royale in his performance was very, very good. Also Sean Connery pure class and I love him as an actor :)
    3. Oh my, No, really, no. I like my happy, boring, dangerless life :)

  6. Yes, I watched James Bond movies, every movie has got own story. For me, the best actor is Daniel Craig. He is amazing and professional actor. I prefer quite and calm life, not as scary as James Bond ;)

  7. 1. I'm not big fan of James Bond, but I watched almost all movies of the series. I like movies with Sean Connery. I like him, he is one of my favorite actors.
    2. Like I said: Sean Connery. He is one of my favorite actors.
    3. Yes, he had interesting life: explosions, shootings, adrenaline, women and martini shaken, not stirred. :)

  8. 1. Yes, I saw many of Bond movies! I'm not a huge fan, but the whole series it's that kind of movies that you just have to known - it's a classic, in my opinion of course.

    2. For me the best James Bond is Daniel Craig. I like the atmosphere and that James Bond is more an agent than a casanova :P

    3. If I could be an agent like Bond - yes, please!

  9. 1. Yes I watched James Bond movies but only with the Priece Brosnan and Daniel Craig. I think that "Spectre" might be my new favourite James Bond movie.
    2. As I said before I only watched Priece Brosnan and Daniel Craig and I think they both played great.
    3. If it would be James Bond position then of course.

    I'm watching the series right now, I watched most of the episodes in my life. I think Pierce and Craig fit the bond style the most, as their looks and dressing style are close to our times. Together with how they behaved and the action pace, they are the ones I think about when I hear "James Bond". It is however a problem that modern episodes have too much of action in them, there is not enough focus on the gadgets they are using, they no more work in silence. They're no more agent like, where secrecy is the main goal, and more like killers destroying anyone that gets in their way. I hope it will change in the future.

  11. It's a shame, but I've seen only one James Bond movie, the newest one. I was really impressed! Generally, I don't really like action movies, but this one is really worth watching. And the Bond's girl was the best from all of them (I've checked out the rest of them after the movie :)). The scenes in Swizerland were so freaking amazing!

    I'm going to catch up with the previous movies soon and who knows, maybe I'll become another James Bond fan although I've been refraing from that for so many years.

  12. James Bond - fighting bad guys and sexism. I don't understand the adoration of masses to this movie. Generally, I can get why men love it - Bond lives the life everyone dreams about, constantly new beautiful girls and no commitments, newest technology and gadgets and power. But seriously, women either? There's no other film sexist that much.

    I'd rather watch films with deeper meaning than this particular one. The scenes there are not realistic at all, and the only advantage I see are the sceneries. The one opening the Spectre, in Mexico City, has its own magic.

  13. Yes, of course. The most I liked him 007 Quantum of Solace, however everyone was also different interesting.
    I think, that Pierce Brosnan, because the most fit this figure.
    Secret agent, for why not. Great one's daily living is a time to turn into the interesting work, where it is possible to participate in interesting missions.

  14. If you want to watch something much more realistic, then watch "pogranicze w ogniu" (its a serial).

    I have watched james bond and for me it's only a good action film, that has nothing to do with realism.

    PS. Agent is a person, who betrays his own country and sells secret informations.
    A person who works in secret service is an intelligence officer.

  15. 1. Of course I've seen James Bond movies I think almost everybody did. Actually I'm not a big fan of James bond so I haven't watch all of them. I remeber that my favourite movie was Casino Royal even despite the fact I really hate Daniel Craig as an actor!
    2. For me Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan played agent 007 the best. Daniel Craig right now is really the worst actor for this role... They were very elegant and handsome exactly like the James Bond should look like. Actually in my opinion any Bond was really great besides Daniel Craig :P
    3. Of course I would who wouldn't? Beautiful girls, special gadgets, fast cars and all the fame you get from being a James Bond ;)

  16. 1. Yes of course, I don't have one which i like the most, i like James Bond as a character.

    2. I don't have any.

    3. It could be interesting live and i think if i have chance to be agent like James Bond i would try my best.

  17. Well, actually I am a great fun of James Bond and I read all books wrote by Ian Fleming. I have seen all Bond movies too. In my humble opinion, the most impressive one was Casino Royale because of the awesome poker part of the movie.
    Following up, I thing that Daniel Craig is the most suitable actor who played James Bond British agent ever. I think it would be a great adventure to have opportunity to serve her Majesty. I admit that I could be the best secret agent British Empire ever had.

  18. I've seen some James Bond movies but Golden Eye and Pierce Brosnan is my favoutire. I guess I just like the way he played this role and I think he was a very appropriate person to do that :). The largest disadvantage of those films is the fact that they're all based on the same plot: similar women, similar guns, similar accidents and similar missions. I guess I prefer being a programmer to risking my life every day ;).

  19. I'm watching James Bond's movies recently, I finished on "Goldeneye". From those movies, I liked "In Her Majesty's Secret Service" the most (probably Diana Rigg was the reason). I've never seen new movies with Craig, but I heard that they are great, can't wait to see them (but first have to watch previous ones).

  20. I've never been a fan of James Bond, but I watched all the videos of Daniel Craig, because I like him as an actor. I especially like "Skyfall", because I think it is a very well made movie - very well-chosen music, gripping screenplay, funny dialogues and a very good shot. I can not say what the actor was the best, because I have not watched all those movies, but I think that Daniel Craig was convincing in his role. And I can not be a secret agent, because my mission is programming ;)

  21. GoldenEye was one of my favourite. Even as a kid I have never imagined to be any of agend 007 it's just not my type. Best two for me are Sean Connery, the true and first Bond, and Brosnan from goldeneye of course. Right now Daniel Craig acts really well, but the way of producing each next episode disappoints me more.

  22. I dont watch a lot of movies , but James Bond is my favourite.
    For me the best part is Quantum of Solance.
    Film starts with really good pursuit through quarry in which Bonds favourite car ,
    Aston Martin was torattly wrecked. Of course the best actor was Daniel Craig.
    Yes , i would like to be a secret agent , but only if i could drive Aston like Bond :)

  23. 1. All of them, yes. Don't have one particular favourite, to be honest. All of them are just too different, depending on the actor portraying the title role.
    2. Like with the favourite movie, too many different aspects of portrayal style. Though I definitely can tell which one is the worst - Lazenby.
    3. Yes, for the girls in the mountain located institute, of course! ;)
    No, for it was the worst Bond movie ever.

    1. Oh, I figured the last question was not about the film "On Her Majesty's..." only, but for the whole franchise.
      So, just: yes, for the girls! ;)

  24. I have seen movies with James Bond. My favorite movie is „Die Another Day”. Why? Because this is the most interesting story of the all parts with James Bond.
    Which actor played 007 the best? I think Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig, because they did their role best.
    I don’t wont to be a secret agent, because I prefer quite and tranquil life.
