Skyfall Review by Lin Li



In the history of Hollywood movie, 007 as the longest film series had already passed half of a century. Film is due to a mission failure which bond involved in that make MI6 was exposed to the crisis, M has been questioned. In the face of such situation, Bond 007 (Daniel Craig) has to come forward to resolve the crisis, and no matter how much cost, he must save the M and preserve the reputation of MI6.


In the film, the actor named James Bond fascinates the world hundreds of thousands of fans depends on him hale appearance, extraordinary skill, agility cold image and the name of James Bond has become a famous symbol of British personal heroism.

In Skyfall, at the beginning of film there was an exciting chase scenes for more than ten minutes for the audience. The team of film through advanced technology and precise clips make car chase, blasting and other drastic action show on the screen perfectly to stimulate the audience's audio and visual senses continuously.

Director tries to break the constant and patterned image of super hero in audience mind, audiences see is no longer a heroic invincible, invincible spy image, but the one who can make mistakes and will feel arrogance at sometimes of a real 007. Compared with before 007, in this movie bond are no longer relying so much on weapons and equipment with high technology, instead relying on external environment opportunity to carry chance for turning the tide.

In the type of personal heroism movies in Hollywood, super hero often appears corresponding with super bad egg. The peak between master and master is the true highlights of the movie. The villain played by Javier Bardem is a major highlight during this film. His march out after half of film, through two minutes long shot, with his unhurried speaking style, from far and near, make people feel so unholy.

Both in image style and in theme expression of film are all more or less showing a dark temperament. Bond is still within a system, he can't get rid of the fate as a chess piece which be Symbol for MI6.

Bond return to tradition in the film, decreased the ambiguous flirting with James Bond girl and just concentrate on lady M finally. In addition, he maintained national stability with his own action and help MI6 to achieve its political purpose.


Will not stop there, the story about bond will continue
