James Bond Thriller Analysis.

James Bond Thriller Analysis.

The character James Bond is based on a fictional novel starring a fictional hero first published in 1953. He is often referred to his code name 007 and his mission working as a British Secret Service agent. The novel is created by Ian Fleming. These books are set during May 1951 and February 1951. Fleming continued to set base at his Jamaican home, Goldeneye and wrote a total of twelve books and a collection of two short stories.

James Bond is popular across the globe. If you haven't read the book or watched the movie, you'd still know about James Bond. I know that applied to me!
But why? Recipe of a James Bond Thriller will tell us how:

-Well it first has to have a handsome, heroic secret agent who plays James Bond.
-In addition it has to have a super villain of a greater or equal strength.
-A number of extremely beautiful Bond HAS to make love with.
-A location. An exotic location.
-Exciting stunt driven action, one that will leave you at the edge of your seat.
-The FAMOUS John Barry music. Most famously the one everyone associates with James Bond is the extract from Casino Royale.
-A pop song promoting the James Bond film.
-An opening action sequence.
-Bond receiving his mission.
-Fights and car chases
-Bond being trapped
-Bond escaping from his trap against all odds and triumphs to beat the villain.

We are going to analyse the opening scenes of several Bond films: Casino Royale.
CASINO ROYALE


THE SPY WHO LOVED ME


GOLDENEYE


These three films in comparison all share the same element of typical James Bond thriller film. It has an opening action sequence, I outlined earlier on before. The opening action sequence shows us who Bond is up against. Goldeneye and The spy who loved me opening sequence is set in a snowy region, not exactly an exotic location. However the element of snow may have been added, to add a suspense of 'Where is he'? and 'I can't see him', to leave the audience in awe when they realise where he is. In addition, Casino Royale and Goldeneye use of heavy artillery allows the audience to wonder will he survive? And of course he does. 


But why has James Bond always been popular?
This is the question, I ask myself. I have come to realise that James Bond is popular because he is the original superhero with no superhero strength, at all. Bond fulfills every man's fantasy the ability  to drive fast cars, wear fancy suites,use great gadgets and make love to no-strings attached women. And yet it fullfills every womens fantasy a sexy, hamdsome, smart dashing man, who's able to save them from any situation. What more is there to ask for?
