What does it really take to become James Bond? It truly is a monumental task to portray one of the most beloved characters in cinema, and only a handful of actors have ever been granted the privilege. But what are the true requirements, maximum charisma and sex appeal, a statuesque physique, a British accent? It turns out the answer is simpler than you think, a good make-up artist, yes, you heard me right. A set of skillful hands and some minor changes and you might find yourself looking the part quicker than you think. And that man with the particular set of hands is make-up artist Mowat, Donald Mowat.

"We do have a great friendship and I think a tremendous connection. I just so enjoy working with him, he’s really a lovely person. I felt I’d never work on a Bond film, it wasn’t really on my bucket list. It really was tremendous. I think he and I have a unique connection and share a lot of interests and similarities. It’s a really great working relationship because he really just lets me do what I do and it fits, it works. When it came time to craft the character's grittier look for the more recent films, he explained, "Even three films into the Craig era, Mowat said: “I think that maybe people call me when they’re trying to change something up a little bit. With Skyfall, we had that scene [at the start] where its really quite gritty and he looks like he’s been through something, which is not typically Bond." Of course, for Spectre, successor to the aforementioned film returned to a light-hearted atmosphere and was less dramatically driven, prompting Bond to look more perfect and polished as opposed to rough and rugged. In regard to Bond 25 being just around the corner, will Mowat return for Craig's final run as 007 to once again craft his signature look, which is due to start shooting next

The Reconstruction was the process of trying to rebuild the South after the devastating effect of the Civil War. Some interesting facts during the Civil War were first, in 1869 the first college football game took place, second, African American universities became a reality, and last, in 1870, Hiram Revels was elected the first black Senator. In the end, Reconstruction died, but we’ve all been asking the same thing; North or South: Who killed the Reconstruction? Answering this question, I believe the North killed the Reconstruction by a lack of focus on it, the racism on African Americans, and being sick of assisting the South.

middle of paper ... ... because Bond has a license to kill. Indiana has the choice of using a pistol or a whip, and he uses his whip because he doesn't want to kill but Bond doesn't think about who he kills because it's his job. The depiction of the action hero Indiana Jones is more realistic than James Bond, because the depiction of James Bond makes him seem invincible, for instance when he survives flying through an explosion. Bond and Jones aren't credible and when you're watching them you don't take everything seriously.
