Danger is my middle name.” This quote is a play on the iconic line of James Bond. Another example of an iconic line from James Bond is, “Shaken, not stirred,” in regards to how he’d like his drink made. Although Austin Powers does not have a famous line referred to a drink he is best known for saying, “Yeah, baby, yeah!” The importance of a catch phrase is for audience to hold onto a particular phrase and remember it outside of the theatre.

It’s hard to imagine that a mineral could be fueling wars and funding corrupt governments.

This mineral is used in power tools, parts of x-ray machines, and microchips but mostly jewelry. Once considered the ultimate symbol of love, the diamond has a darker story. "Blood" diamonds or "conflict" diamonds are those mined, polished, or traded in areas of the world where the rule of law does not exist. They often originate in war-torn countries like Liberia, Sierra Leone, Angola, and Côte d'Ivoire were rebels use these gems to fund genocide or other questionable objectives. Even with a system known as the Kimberly process which tracks diamonds to prevent trade of these illicit gems, infractions continue as the process is seriously flawed. The continuation of the blood diamond trade is inhuman, and unethical, and in order to cease this illicit trade further action to redefine a conflict diamond, as well as reform to the diamond certification prosess is nessasary.

The sound of a police siren is heard and used as a transition into the next scene that takes place, understandably, in a police station. While in the police station, Jim is yelling along with the sound of the siren, and humming loudly to give the impression that he is drunk.

Again, a siren is played at the transition to the next scene. However, for the most part, score music is played during all transitions.

As the James Bond theme tune plays a bloody red colour washes down the screen. The opening sequence described above is shown at the start of every James Bond movie. It is the opening James Bond title shot that the majority of the audience is familiar with.
The opening scene (0:45 – 12:30) starts with sinister looking claw hands creating a doll that looks exactly like Coraline; insinuating that control will play a large role in the film. The film then progresses to the establishing shot; of the
Bridget Jones does not live like the typical thirty-two-year old women. From trying to control her bad habits and trying to find potential partners, people might say Jones is not a feminist. According to The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, there are many different kinds of feminist (Haslanger 1). You do not have to follow any guides lines to consider being a feminist.
