Skyfall-those that pay tribute to 50 years and related

Winona 2021-10-19 09:51:08

The 23rd 007 movie is really the best tribute to the 50-year Bond series. It is full of clever little bridges and tributes. It is both a stage summary and a new beginning. 50 years later, 007 is still a hero! I probably summarized some of the tribute parts and some related points involved in the film. There may be omissions and over-interpretation. I hope you will give a lot of advice~

(arranged according to the plot process of [
天門落來]) 1. At the beginning, Moneypenny wanted to aim at a distance The opponent who fought with 007 on the top of the train, the result was not enough sights, and shot 007 by mistake-in [Goldfinger], there was a girl who had a grudge against the big Boss Goldfinger. She wanted to shoot Goldfinger at the top of the mountain in the distance, but the marksmanship was not good. , Almost shot the lively 007 at a slightly lower altitude.

2. 007 Fake Death Plot-In [Thunder Valley], in order to create a false appearance, 007 was shot and killed in Hong Kong and held a funeral at sea as a navy lieutenant colonel.

3. MI6 Headquarters was bombed-[Black Sun Crisis] The CNPC tycoon exploded while checking the cash box, exploding a big hole in MI6.

4. MI6 standby office-basically every part can see that MI6 can set up offices anywhere, underwater bases in the pyramid, and so on.

5. 007 broke into M's house-[Casino Royale], it seems that after Bond changed to Daniel Craig, M's 007 was free to go in and out... (M's house in the film is actually the former residence of John Barry, the meritorious soundtrack of the 007 series , Here is a meticulous tribute to the crew~)

6. 007 has an arm injury and needs to be re-qualified as an agent. In [Black Sun Crisis], because 007 was injured and failed to meet the attendance standards, Brosnan also gave the doctor who issued the test report I got the pass only after sleeping. How honest as our DC is based on character~

7. When I was doing the appraisal, I asked about the first reaction to M. 007 said bitch-Vesper also got it after his death in [Casino Royale]. The treatment of bitch in 007's mouth, it seems that 007's response to the betrayal of the woman who cares is really the same... (Well, this paragraph is not a relevant paragraph that I force to pull...)

8. When finally deciding whether 007 is eligible for attendance, Mallory questioned whether 007 was really ready, and M immediately responded, "If he says he is ready, then he is ready."——[Thunderbolt] The middle and senior management questioned Bond. What he said, M also immediately retorted "If 007 says that this person is dead, he is dead." Looking at the dozens of previous titles, M has maintained 007 many times, a typical cold-hearted boss~

9, 007 and Q met for the first time, and the weapon returned to the Walther PPK pistol. In [Dr. Nou], the Beretta pistol, which had been used by 007 for ten years, was replaced by PPK as soon as M came up. (As for the model changes in these 50 years, I don’t understand ...)

10. The pistol provided by Q is coded with 007 palm prints, which can only be used by him alone-in [Killing License], old Q also made a gun with palm print recognition that can only be used by Bond After 007 was arrested, people from the Hong Kong Drug Enforcement Administration wanted to shoot him with this gun, but failed.

11. Radio trackers-there are many parts, put in the heel ([Gold Finger]), made into pills ([Thunderbolt]), implanted in the body ([Royal Casino]), etc.

12. The pen bomb mentioned by Q in teasing 007-the one made by old Q in [Golden Eye], you have to press it three times to activate it, press it three times and cancel it again. It's really anxious to use~

13. When Q left the museum, he said to 007, please return the equipment in a piece (please return to Zhao after completing the task)-almost every Q provides props with complaints about Bond not using the props well, [Death on another day ], the successor of R has carried forward the irony even more, and it seems that Xiao Q is also well aware of this~

14. The passage involving Asia-Japan ([雷霆谷]), the emergence of Hong Kong and Yuan Qiu ([金枪人] ) When I arrived in [Tomorrow's Empire], I went straight to Michelle Yeoh.

15. Casino paragraph-Needless to say, the first appearance in [Dr. Nou] was in the casino, and almost every part was involved.

16. 007 teaches Moneypenny who is not skilled in field missions-Miss Goodnight who appeared in [Golden Gun Man]. That unreliable ability to act makes 007 dumbfounded.

17. When 007 was chatting with the Bond girl Sévérine in the casino bar, 007 mentioned that the girl had a Beretta pistol pinned on her leg. This pistol is the first pistol style that M does not allow 007 to use in the first [Dr. No]. (See Article 9)

18. The "shaken, don't stir" martini did not appear, but I believe that when 007 was boasting the bartender's good craftsmanship, the girl should be mixing the wine in accordance with the requirements of "shaken, not stirred" .

Supplement: 007 escaped by stepping on the Komodo dragon in the casino-the neurotic villain in [Life and Death] threw 007 among the crocodiles, and 007 stepped on the crocodile step by step and finally came ashore to escape. (It needs to be specifically explained that this paragraph was completed by the stuntman who really stepped on the crocodile, risking a lot of life, and it is really worthy of respect!)

19. There will always be a Bond girl who is going to die early (of course, I have to sleep. Jue Xian), almost every one has it~

20. The history of the big villain Silva as a former agent of M-006 in [Golden Eye] from right to evil.

21. At 1 hour and 44 minutes, Aston Martin finally appeared in the film. On the way, 007 had a little humor, threatening to press the small red button hidden in the manual gear to pop M from the seat, and finally In the old house duel, the ballistic performance of this car and the gun installed in the front are all masterpieces of old Q! ! When the last car exploded, 007 was really angry. I must have thought that it was the last Aston Martin of Lao Tzu~

22. Bond’s Scottish ancestry-the original author Ian Fleming was deeply impressed by the first-generation Bond Sean The role of Connery gave Bond the status of a Scot in subsequent novels.

23. Orphan status-mentioned in [Casino Royale], it is not a tribute, even if it is a link between the past and the next to deepen the impression.

24. In the old house duel, the thugs entered the house and were deceived by the mirror image of the old butler in the mirror——[Golden Gun Man], there were many mirrors and wax figures in the Golden Gun Man’s training camp to practice how to kill 007, and this was the last one. The stuff caused him to be killed by Bond.

25. Silva must kill M. The fact that Silva must kill M is very similar to Elektra in [Black Sun Crisis]. It is also because of being abandoned and holding a grudge against M. M must be destroyed, but Silva does not have complicated feelings for M.

26. Mentioning the relationship between M and his subordinates 007, Silva and other agents similar to mother and son-in [Quantum Crisis], when a Bond girl asked if Bond M was his mother, Bond naturally replied "she thinks she is" . In this film, Bond’s parents’ tombstones are engraved with his mother’s name Monique, which also begins with M, which seems to be a metaphor.

27. Moneypenny officially became the secretary girl who always flirted with 007 but never went to bed (the original image of the blonde white man made me a little bit overwhelmed at once), classic office layout (the secretary is outside, and the next door is M) , The classic desk facing and the hanger at the door (unfortunately 007 no longer plays the hat throwing set), everything is back to the MI6 office

28 50 years ago , and the newly appointed M (Mallory) desk faces back. At the very beginning, facing the door, the table was diagonally oriented during the reign of Ms. The style of the new M’s office eliminates excessive modern furnishings. It also pays tribute to the first generation of M played by Bernard Lee. In fact, in the office of the newly appointed female M in [Black Sun Crisis], there is also a Portrait of Nader Lee.

Of course, the most classic tribute must be the Bond theme that is interspersed with the film, and the shot that 007 came out to shoot at the camera~

The end of [Skyfall] is actually the beginning of another journey, new M, new Q, new Moneypenny plus The first half of 007, back to the classic track, set off in the next 50 years~
