See what I did there???
Skyfall is already considered one of if not the best entry
in the James Bond series. Not bad for it’s 23rd film. However, it’s
a lie, it’s a clever lie but it’s a lie. It’s a lie because this isn't a
James Bond film. Oh sure with characters like Q and Moneypenny rounding out the
cast and seeing Bond drive his Aston Martins to the now 50
year old James Bond theme you would think you were watching a 007 film.
However, what you are watching in Skyfall is too rich with story to be considered a true
James Bond film.
Skyfall is not about an invincible super agent tracking down
an uber-terrorist with plans to over take the world with nukes. No, rather it’s about
an ageing bruised and beaten substance abusing orphan who was betrayed by his
pseudo parent. And yet when her life is threatened the man-child puts aside his
anger to protect the woman he considers to be his mother.
That’s what Skyfall is about.
I loved every minute of this film.
my two cents
