Martin Campbell, the director uses many techniques such as death defying stunts, villains, attractive Bond girls, exotic locations, and sarcastic humour to create an exciting action film.

still as athletic as a teenager. Nearly every one of bond's objectives involves international terrorism of some sort and huge amounts of money or precious diamonds. The women in James Bond are almost always the most beautiful women on the planet who Bond is luckily enough allowed to sleep with Bond apart from the fact that they are sometimes up to 10 years younger. The idea of wearing the fewest clothes possible has made this series quite appealing. Apart from that, bond girls are just there

They have always been in the centre of controversy; they have always been branded as beautiful women (often with sexually overt names) who need Bond and ironically, Bond cannot complete his mission without them. They always seem to have perfection in everything they do. However, this portrayal of women can be somewhat unrealistic. Some may want the representation of the ‘Bond Girl’ to
changing concept. Cultural sexual ideologies have been rooted to hegemonic views of genders. 'James Bond' and his 'Bond Girls' depict the 'idealised' males and females of the past five decades; the cinematic visions of beautiful women beside handsome spies, fast cars and high stakes, supposedly display the dreams of the audience. Bond is seen as an icon of true masculinity, his image has remained the same over the past fifty years, however, the characterisation of 'James Bond' has varied, depending on

It would be true to say that the USA had a big influence over the British film industry and still does today to some extent in that Americans who like British films will go to the cinema to watch them and therefore the industry gets more money to invest in other films. Of course the USA is much larger than Britain therefore more people in America are going to see British films than in Britain
'Licensed to Kill' and 'Goldeneye' a lot of changes in characters were made. This is due to a lot of controversy about the portrayal of woman in the Bond films. People, especially women did not like, that women were being seen as week sex objects who had to rely on men to be saved.

My essay is going to be about the similarities and differences between ‘Casino Royale’ and ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’. I Will explore all aspects of each film including, Bond, the Bond girls, the villain and enemy, special effects and the mise-en-scene. The opening scenes are both similar yet different in both films. ‘Casino Royale’ starts off with free running, a modern sport that makes the audience want to keep watching. It is dangerous, new age and suits the film itself. It is also a sport which
realisation on someone’s face when being demolished by fire. Their screams kept me up at night, the images kept me up at night. I was scared, petrified. I was in a sea full of predators, hiding behind a miniature crate. I squeezed my hat to my chest, my only source of protection, my only comfort. My shotgun disappeared in the heat of battle, I couldn’t even recall when it happened. The only images in my mind were the ones of Spy, when I witnessed his last moments of life. The only sounds I could hear
The Man From UNCLE is a proper '60s spy movie with great characters, a good plot and witty dialogue. Henry Cavill is poetry in a three piece suit. Moreover, it is an utterly beautiful film with a gorgeous cast, yet Henry Cavill is still the most attractive thing in it.

While 50% of women said they only watched it "sometimes". 60% of people said that the representations of these women had changed and participants gave reasons such as "more involved in the plot" and "not as inferior as they once were". The 30% who said they

Written in the Elizabethan era, around 1600, “Shakespeare's focus on Hamlet's intellectual conflicts was a significant departure from contemporary revenge tragedies… which tended to dramatize violent acts graphically on stage” (Hamlet). The play depicts Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark, who it visited by the ghost of his father, King Hamlet. The ghost reveals how he was murdered by his brother Claudius, who then claimed
that he is a bit overprotective with his daughter because he is afraid of the love that Hamlet feels and shows for Ophelia. Furthermore, he talks to the king and the queen about Hamlet and how he is behaving. “I have a daughter who in her duty and obedience, mark, hath given me this. Now gather, and surmise. Queen- Came this from Hamlet to her?”(43). In other words, this quote shows how Polonius is making Ophelia read the letter that Hamlet has given to her, to read to the queen and king. This shows
