When Ivanka, who was carrying a puppet backpack, and three other beautiful girls passed by Bond, there was a burst of knowing laughter in the screening hall. Frank Lipton, who originally wanted to take advantage of this foreshadowing plot to record some thoughts, couldn't help putting down his pen and showing a faint smile. This should be the fourth one. Although it seems a bit tricky for Williams to set up such a small easter egg in every movie he directed, it has to be said that it is really interesting.
Cheriver has invested all his funds in shorting the stock of Sky Arrow Airlines. Although he feels that his actions may have been exposed, the whole plan cannot be stopped. He can only send people to hunt down Bond at the same time.
However, the villain in charge of hunting down was easily solved by Bond. Through the string of phone numbers left by Alex, Bond used MI6's intelligence network to track all the way, and soon found the bomber who was about to launch an attack at Miami Airport. .
At Miami International Airport, with the fast-changing shots and tense soundtrack, the mood of the audience was also raised. Although they knew that Bond was destined to stop the bomber's attack, when Bond jumped from the Oil tanker, as the bomber ran all the way on the airport runway, many people still couldn't help but have strong worries.
When the emotions of ordinary audiences were firmly grasped by this plot, many film critics at the scene only had excitement in their hearts. From Bond stepping into Miami International Airport, jumping on an oil tanker to deal with bombers, and then to the police being swooped down The engine of the airliner flew towards the screen. In just a few minutes, whether it was scene scheduling, camera editing or background soundtrack, it gave people a sense of surprise enough to be written in textbooks.
"The Times" film critic Frank Lipton felt his heart beat faster with this episode. When the bomber detonated the miniature bomb that Bond hung on himself, there was a loud bang from the stereo Frank Lipton even had a sense of pleasure that he personally smashed the bomber's conspiracy, and he couldn't help applauding. At the same time, the entire concert hall also thought of applause in unison.
In the front row of the concert hall, Eric was also relieved to hear the warm applause around him.
The producer of the film, Barbara Blockley, was deeply relieved. For Eric, "Casino Royale" may be just a not too conspicuous film in his directing career. But this series is where all the glory of the Broccoli family lies. "Casino Royale" is the first 007 film produced entirely by her and her brother after the death of her father Albert Broccoli. Due to the successive failures of Hollywood's live-action blockbusters this summer, Barbara Blockley also worried that this film would repeat the same mistakes, so that she would live up to her father's entrustment. Now, the movie is only a third into the movie, and the audience spontaneously applauds, so no matter what, the movie is unlikely to be too much of a failure.
The attack on Sky Arrow Airlines failed, and Cheriver lost a huge sum of US$100 million. In order to recover the loss, Cheriver plans to hold a winner-take-all gamble at the Royal Casino in Montenegro. As a terrorist registered in the intelligence agencies of various countries, Cheriver's gambling game has attracted the attention of many parties.
Mrs. M introduced to Bond the information about the Spectre Party held by MI6, and planned to let Bond rush to Montenegro. After winning the bet, she took advantage of the opportunity to capture Cherifer. The plot finally has a crossover plot of the agent movie universe here. The information Mrs. M introduced to Bond happened to be intercepted by Ethan Hunt, the hero of the "Mission: Impossible" series, and shared with others. Allied intelligence agencies. At the beginning, this plot also appeared in the easter eggs of "Mission: Impossible 2".
After half a year of waiting, I finally saw the plot in the Easter egg. After the fans of the MGM Agents Movie Universe were inexplicably satisfied, they began to look forward to the brand new Easter egg at the end of the film.
For this gamble, MI6 applied for a special fund from the Ministry of Finance. For this purpose, the Ministry of Finance specially dispatched a clerk to assist Bond in carrying out the mission throughout the process, and also to ensure the safety of the funds.
The plot changes to an ordinary apartment in the West End of London. In a room full of exquisite electronic instruments, a petite girl with a full geek style is concentrating on soldering a circuit board. Suddenly there is a knock on the door, and the girl is frightened After a jump, the circuit board in his hand also emitted a puff of smoke due to a short circuit.
Outside the door, Vesper Lind, who was dressed smartly, was dragging a suitcase. Seeing her sister's face with gray stains on her face and opening the door, she looked helplessly, took out a handkerchief and wiped her face carefully. After a few times, his eyes were helpless and he said lovingly: "Next time I must talk to the so-called person in charge of the Charlie Townsend Foundation. The girls offer scholarships of £10,000 a year, and those inexplicable training."
Angela Lindt, like all children who resist a rigid parent, retorts, "Hey sister, that's because I'm a genius."
"Oh, well, my little genius." Vesper Lind put away the handkerchief with a smile, kissed her sister's cheek, and said, "I'm going on a business trip soon, and it may take a week. During this time, I will take care of you. Be yourself."
A look of joy flashed across Angela Linde's face, but she immediately restrained herself and replied obediently: "Of course, sister, I will take care of myself."
Vesper Linde shrewdly pinched the girl's cheek, and said, "Don't be complacent, I asked Aunt Carol, she will help me look after you."
Angela Linde seemed to have thought of something terrible, and begged reluctantly, "Sister, I'm your own sister."
"Of course, that's why I want to prevent your little angel from really flying into the sky."
In the concert hall, listening to the interesting dialogue between the Linde sisters, the audience all had smiles on their faces. The 007 series has always lacked humor. The plot in front of me should be regarded as a small breakthrough in the 007 series. At the same time, in just two minutes of footage, Angela Lind's weird elf and Vesper Lind's shrewdness have already left a clear impression on the audience , The brief interaction between the sisters also paved the way for the follow-up plot in advance.
While Christina Aguilera was terrific in just a few shots, critics focused more on Cate Blanchett as the No. 1 Bond girl.
The new Bond girl from Australia has been highly controversial since she first decided on the role. Ordinary movie fans think she is not beautiful enough and does not meet the usual standards of Bond girls. The circle also feels that Eric Williams suddenly used this role. A newcomer with only a few TV drama acting experience is too sloppy.
However, in a few short shots, Vesper Lind, who was dressed in a black professional suit, did not lose in the slightest in front of Angela Lind, who was more attractive to the audience based on the character setting.
Immediately afterwards, Vesper Lind's sparkling conversation with Bond on the train to Montenegro surprised film critics even more. They could feel that in this performance, Pierce Brosnan was completely suppressed and had no power to fight back. In order to maintain the balance between the two characters, the director obviously put more attention on Pierce Brosnan. On Nan, this kind of focus makes people faintly look forward to Cate Blanchett's shots.
As for ordinary audiences, after a few scenes, they have basically forgotten their dissatisfaction with Cate Blanchett's role in the first place. Most people feel that the role played by the Australian actress Vesper Lind is downright cool.
In the casino scene, Eric deleted some of the dispensable details in the original version to make the plot more compact, and added the second interlude of the agent movie universe to the plot, Ethan in "Mission: Impossible" One of Hunter's assistants was dispatched to the gamble, and at the critical moment, he lent his gamble money to Bond to help him win the final victory. At the same time, at the end of the plot, the film adds the plot that Cherifer sent people to kidnap Angela to threaten Vesper.
Throughout the entire game, from the initial tit-for-tat confrontation to the tacit cooperation at the critical moment of the game, Bond and Vesper gradually developed feelings for each other. After Vesper assisted Bond in killing people, the scene of embracing each other in the bathroom made the two feel very happy. The hazy feelings between people are officially sublimated.
At the end of the game, after a complete defeat, Cheriver jumped over the wall in a hurry, caught Bond and tortured him, trying to get back the 100 million US dollars in cash.
In a hazy figure in front of him, Bond fell into a coma, and when he woke up again, the hazy figure became clear. Vesper stood by his side and told him that Cherifer was dead and the whole thing was over.
Bond didn't delve into what happened before he fell into a coma. The two officially fell in love. In order to stay with Vesper forever, Bond began to prepare a letter of resignation to Mrs. M.
However, everything is obviously not over. Cheriver's private embezzlement of funds was discovered by the Spectre Party and he was liquidated. But Vesper's sister fell into the hands of the Specter. In order to rescue Bond and his sister, Vesper made a deal with the Specter to help them get back the $100 million from Bond.
However, when Vesper transferred 100 million U.S. dollars to the Spectre account, he found that he had been deceived. At the same time, Bond, who followed after discovering Vesper's anomaly, thought he had discovered everything.
Vesper, who betrayed his lover and failed to rescue his sister, had no love in his life. He chose to commit suicide in the underwater cage, but when he said goodbye, he still stuffed the necklace with a photo of himself and his sister into Bond's hands with a glimmer of hope. .
"Why do I need time, the job is over, the bitch is dead."
On the cruise ship on the coast of Venice, the disheartened Bond was like a wounded lone wolf, fiddled with the heart-shaped necklace indifferently, and replied to Mrs. M's concerned words on the phone.
At this moment, although Bond abandoned the expectation of returning to the life of ordinary people and became the cold super agent again, everyone felt that Bond at this moment was a real ordinary person, a mortal.
On the screen, Mrs. M explained everything to Bond. Bond opened the heart-shaped pendant, found the photo of Vesper and Angela with bright smiles, and embarked on a journey to rescue Angela.
The final battle is about to begin. In the concert hall, Frank Lipton felt that the female fan behind him who was sobbing because of the farewell scene between Bond and Vesper gradually stopped sobbing, but he was still thinking of Kate Bran in his heart. Chet took every shot during the middle hour of his appearance, and didn't even bother to pay attention to the ultimate battle with Bond after the angel trio appeared.
Because of his attention to this movie, Frank Lipton had collected some information on Cate Blanchett before, but since she was just an Australian newcomer who had just broken into Hollywood, the information he could find was pitiful.
So Frank Lipton was all the more shocked after watching Cate Blanchett perform. From the moment she appeared on the stage, in just a few shots, the actress perfectly supported Vesper Lind's heart, and every subsequent appearance, every shot, the heroine gave people A perfect feeling of 'I am Vesper Lind', this kind of talent for combining human and drama has definitely reached the Oscar level, and she is even better than many Oscar-winning actors who have already won the statuette. even better.
Suddenly, another name came to Frank Lipton's mind, Meryl Streep. Perhaps, this actress who made her debut with Hollywood commercial blockbusters may become the second Meryl Streep.
Thinking of this, Frank Lipton suddenly felt a little regretful. He knew that according to Hollywood rules, if he played the role of a Bond girl in a completely commercial blockbuster like 007 and received such intense attention, then in the future, the development path of this amazingly talented actress might be more like that of Nicole Like Kidman.
This is simply a waste.
Eric Williams has created so many actresses in commercial films, there is no need to "destroy" a major literary star.
After thinking about it for a while, Frank Lipton thought of the film that Alison Owen, a friend of his in the British film industry, was preparing. Although it was a small budget, it was an absolute heroine film. Perhaps, I can introduce the other party at the next party. Although from Australia, Cate Blanchett's London accent in the film is perfect and definitely has enough strength to handle the role.
Knowing that the opportunity is rare, thinking of this, Frank Lipton quietly left his seat, went outside the theater and made a phone call. (To be continued.)
