JAMES BOND

For my media essay I am going to be reviewing some of the James Bond movies.

              I think that the writers intensions when he created James Bond was that he wanted him to be a man who could get out of any situation and is irresistible to women, he also wanted him to be a secret agent who has all these interesting gadgets.

               The first film that I will be reviewing is Goldeneye. Goldeneye was released in 1995. The storyline for Goldeneye is that the Russian mafia has a space based weapons system called goldeneye. Its up to James Bond to save London from this, on his way he runs into characters such as a beautiful computer programmer (Izabella scorupco), a former partner (Sean Bean), a wise cracking CIA agent (Joe Don Baker), an ex KGB officer (Robbie Coltrane), and a psychotic woman who likes squeezing men between her legs (Femke Janssen). Pierce Brosnan is supported by an interesting group of actors, but the spotlight is always on him. The stunts used in goldeneye are “comic book like stunts at an appropriately absurd level.” An example of one of the stunts used in Goldeneye is when James Bond takes a leap of faith onto a very hard truck. Goldeneye has a mixture of humor, interesting locales, high- speed chases, explosions and action. Some of the special effects used in Goldeneye are when the radar at Severnaya blows up and the CIA Cessna being shot above Janus’s base. The women that are used in Goldeneye are Xenia Onatopp, Natalya Simonova, Miss Moneypenny, Irina, and Caroline. James Bond is made appealing to women and he sleeps with at least one woman in each of his movies to the envy of men.  Humor is used in all of James Bonds movies. James Bond likes to have a joke while his life is in danger. Women in the James Bond film Goldeneye are shown as like they are attracted to James Bond and that he is irresistible to all women. James bond hits women in Goldeneye which a lot of women would find offending. An example of when he hits a woman is when he is talking to Xenia and knocks her out by a chop to her neck and puts humor into it by saying “good night”.

              The song Goldeneye by Tina Turner is very effective in the film because it blends in with everything that is happening in that section of the film. The original James Bond theme is mostly played in the action parts of the movie and at the start of the movie. The James Bond soundtrack theme is played in all of his movies, and when you hear that soundtrack you would associate it with James Bond. When many people that hear that soundtrack being played somewhere they would immediately link it with James Bond because ...
