Quantum of Solace
Just returned from watching Quantum of Solace, and OMFG! YES! Just YES! You have no idea how much I love Craig’s Bond, Casino Royale made me love Bond the way I fell in love with Bourne. Quantum of Solace has pretty much guaranteed Craig as the only Bond for me. Also, probably one of the most satisfying revenge films I have ever seen; a closure for Bond’s lingering anguish over the events of Casino Royale.
It is absolutely fascinating watching Craig’s Bond throughout the film, the way that he conveys rage and pain through his eyes and his posture, and how he can be absolutely terrifying in one scene and so damn vulnerable and compassionate in another.
I think one of my favourite things about this film is Bond and Camille’s relationship. They are more comrades in vengeance as opposed to a sexualised relationship, and thank the fuck for that. Bond over only beds one woman in this film, and it is all sorts of fucked up that he only bedded Fields to get something in return. And yes, he kisses Camille but she WALKED away, and it is just an AWESOME scene. OK, I admit it, I have a thing for really FUCKED-UP heroes who DON’T take ADVANTAGE of EMOTIONALLY vulnerable woman, or you know, who delivers VENGEANCE killings because some people deserves to DIE!
M, as usual is AWESOME. I want to be like M when I grow up.
One other thing, Paul Greengrass PAY SOME FUCKING ATTENTION! This is how you film action sequences, STOP using the fucking steady-cam in the future.
