ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНЫЙ ФИЛЬМ!
И всё благодаря великолепной режиссуре режиссера Сэма Мэндеса!
До этого фильма я относилась к нему хорошо, но теперь ...
Я уже мечтаю чтобы следующие фильмы про Бонда снял именно он!
Мне нравится, что Сэм как поклонник бондианы, уделил внимание многим деталям связанных с книгами и предыдущим фильмами.
Появление машины Астон Мартин было просто фееричным!
Она даже поучаствовала в перестрелке, используя свои легендарные автоматы.
Грустно, что её пришлось ликвидировать.

А еще, Шотландия!
Автор книг о Джеймсе Бонде, Ян Флеминг не был рад кандидатуре Шона Коннери на первых парах.
Но посмотрев первый фильм, он так воодушевился, что в следующих своих книгах,
рассказал историю-приквел о жизни Бонда, и дал ему шотландское происхождение.
В этом фильме мы узнаем, что название SKYFALL носит не только метафорический характер,
но и является названием родового поместья семьи Бондов в Шотландии.
Интересно было и узнать имена погибших родителей Бонда - Эндрю Бонд и мать-француженка Моник Делакруа Бонд.
Не мудрено, что многие девушки Бонда француженки.

В фильме идеально всё, чтобы такого добиться в фильме про Бонда, это нужно постараться.
Съемка просто феноменальная! Все эти световые эффекты в Шанхае - красота!

Саундтрек естественно прекрасный, а заглавная песня исполненная Adele - Skyfall просто великолепна!
А в сочетании с традиционными ОХРЕНИТЕЛЬНЫМИ начальные титрами с стиле Бонда - просто сказка!

Мне нравится, что в этом фильме трюки более приближены к реальности. Без фантастики, хотя возможно всё.

Теперь об исполнителях.

The first Bond Girl - Наоми Харрис. замечательная девушка, знакомая многим, и я была очень рада увидев её имя еще на начальной стадии проекта. А еще если учесть кем она оказалась в конце ...

And the second Bond Girl - еще одна француженка, Бернис Марло.
На начальной стадии проекта, я была не очень к ней расположена.
Честно говоря, она меня покорила.
Своей игрой, она была просто великолепна! Я даже неожидала.
Ну и конечно, очень красивая!

Была рада увидеть любимого Бена Уишоу, в роли возрожденного Q. Он чудо!
И еще более я была рада видеть Альберта Финни.
Я то ли знала о его участии и забыла, то ли не знала.
Вообщем рада видеть старого знакомого.

И конечно же, Ральф! О, мой любимый!
Думаю не стоит в очередной раз подчеркивать его актерское великолепие (ой, я только что это сделала!).
Скажу только, что создателям удалось продержать в секрете истинное предназначение его персонажа в фильме.
Я ближе к концу уже начала это понимать, и теперь в предвкушении!

Несравненная Джуди Денч!
В этом фильме её героине отвели гораздо больше экранного времени чем прежде.
И она, конечно же, была бесподобна!
По моему мнению, так как в данной картине очень небольшое внимание уделяется любовным романам Бонда,
именно М можно считать главной женщиной Бонда в фильме.
Многолетние отношения, взаимная привязанность, о которой они никогда не говорили,
но она была, и это очень трогательно.

Ну Дэниэл конечно же продолжает покорять!
Я очень поддерживаю его усердие в выполнении трюков.
На самом деле, видно что он отлично поработал, и зрители всегда вознаграждают за это актера.
Красавец конечно, аррр! Сколько ж он в тренажорке проводит мне даже страшно и подумать.

И наконец ... третий дублер премьер-министра слева.
Ахахах, нет сейчас мне хочется написать о Хавьере Бардеме.
Вот он - НАСТОЯЩИЙ ЗЛОДЕЙ! Потому, что он ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНЫЙ АКТЕР!
Его мы боимся.
Боимся не только потому, что он псих, но и потому, что мы не знаем его следующий шаг.
Более того - он знает все наши следующие шаги!

Также, одна из причин успеха его персонажа, по моему мнению в том, что основным мотивом для Сильвы
не была какая-нибудь стратегически важная металическая труба-оружие, космическая херь
и прочие игрушки для захвата мира! Можно сказать, у него это итак уже есть.
Но главное для Сильвы - была личная месть к М.
И это сработало первоклассно!
Он столько лет жил желанием отомстить, что когда он наконец встречает её, мы видим, как он к ней неравнодушен.
Он любит её. Как мать, как женщину, я не знаю.
Он хочет отомстить, но даже такому садисту как он, трудно в конце концов отнять жизнь именно у неё.

Что касается "той самой сцены" между Бондом и Сильвой, у меня есть два мнения на этот счет.ю
Первое - да, Сильва бисексуал.
И второе - он просто хотел поставить Бонда в неудобное положение. Испугать именно ТАКИМ способом.
И мы, зрители конечно, сами нервничаем, наблюдая за этим.
И как же классно выкрутился Бонд, это просто феноменальная фраза для такой многолетней киноэпопеи.

Вот единственное, что я не люблю в Хавьере, так это его интервью.
Он так просто и даже немного презрительно к нему относится.
Я уж читала несколько таких вот его интервью, и больше не хочется.
Может он конечно просто не любит много говорить об этом, копаться в этом.
Но на всё это я готова закрыть глаза, ведь он воистину великолепный актер!
Хавьер принес в роль мои любимые тонкие нотки, детали, полу жесты, полу взгляды.
Именно так и нужно играть злодеев. Именно так и нужно вообще играть.

Ходила на фильм два раза, утренними сеансами с минимальным количеством народа.
Первый раз правда попались некоторые комментаторы. Но второй просмотр был идеальным.



some interesting facts:some interesting facts:

23rd James Bond movie in the EON Productions official series and the 25th theatrically released James Bond
film overall if one includes the spoof Casino Royale and the unofficial Never Say Never Again.

This movie is not a follow-on from the previous two films the way Quantum of Solace followed Casino Royale.
Producer Barbara Broccoli said that the series "will go on to other different stories from now on."

In October 2012 controversy broke out in the media and the web about the film's homo-erotic overtones from villain character Raoul Silva (Javier Bardem) directed towards James Bond (Daniel Craig) , Bond traditionally being a devout heterosexual ladies' man. The furor suggests that Silva may be the first ever male Bond Girl and that James Bond may actually
be bi-sexual. However, its not the first time that a male Bond villain has been suggested
to be gay as the Mr Witt and Mr Kidd characters in Diamonds Are Forever were camp henchmen.

The film's villain Raoul Silva (Javier Bardem) is an ex-MI6 agent.
It's not the first time that a rogue ex-agent has been the main villain in a Bond movie.
Alec Trevelyan (Sean Bean in GoldenEye was a former fellow agent of 007, his code number being 006.
In Die Another Day, Bond's fellow British agent Miranda Frost (Rosamund Pike) turned out to be a double-agent.

In the movie Silva states that he was M's favourite agent between 1988 and 1996. It was during this period that the film franchise took it's longest sabbatical, between License to Kill and GoldenEye.

With the use of Quantum of Solace, an original Ian Fleming James Bond story title, for the Bond movie made prior to this,
there now remains only four unused original Fleming titles that could possibly have been used as a title for this film.
These are "The Property of a Lady", "The Hildebrand Rarity", "Risico" and "007 in New York" .
However, none of these were used, the title being a non-Fleming title 'Skyfall'.

Released in 2012 around late October/November, 2012 is the 50th anniversary of the James Bond film series.
Previously, Die Another Day was released in the 40th Anniversary year in 2002,
Tomorrow Never Dies in the 35th Anniversary Year in 1997,
The Living Daylights in the 25th Anniversary Year in 1987 whilst former Bond producer
Albert R. Broccoli received the Academy Awards' Thalberg Award in the 20th Anniversary year in 1982.
'Skyfall' world premiered within a couple of weeks of the 50th anniversary of the launch of Dr. No on 05/10/1962. Moreover, a new Bond documentary was made and released to tie-in with and celebrate the Golden Anniversary
of the franchise, Everything or Nothing: The Untold Story of 007, it premiering also on 5th October.

James Bond actor Daniel Craig said that he was worried by the delays in the production of 'Skyfall'
and was eager to get back into the role because, at the age of 43,
he feels he is already getting too old to cope with the extreme physical demands of playing James Bond.
Craig starts preparation for a Bond movie about six months prior to filming
and works-out for about two hours each day of principal photography after shooting has wrapped.

It was initially speculated that James Bond veteran composer David Arnold would be providing the score for this film
despite a long-running collaboration between director Sam Mendes and composer Thomas Newman.
However, in January 2012, it was finally announced that Newman would, in fact, be composing the score.
This marks only the sixth time (out of twenty-three films) that a James Bond film has not been scored
by either Monty Norman, John Barry, or David Arnold.
It is a myth that Arnold was unable to score the film due to his duties as musical director for the 2012 London Olympics
- in numerous interviews he has stated that Newman was simply chosen due to his ongoing work with Mendes.
In October 2012, David Arnold revealed on Twitter that the producers had licensed some of his film score
from Casino Royale for 'Skyfall'.

Danny Boyle was once erroneously touted in the media as having being asked to direct this film prior to Sam Mendes.
Ironically, Boyle ended up directing the James Bond short with Daniel Craig and Queen Elizabeth II which opened
the 2012 London Olympics Opening Ceremony. After receiving a personal invitation from Queen Elizabeth II ,
Daniel Craig appeared as James Bond in promotion of this film at the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games
in London in the games' introductory video originally entitled "The Arrival" but later known as "Happy and Glorious".
The segment has been said to be the Queen's first ever acting role.

According to producer Barbara Broccoli, the film's 'Skyfall' title "has some emotional context which will be revealed in the film". This was also the case with the previous Bond film Quantum of Solace.

In the film, James Bond (Daniel Craig) is given a Walther PPK/S 9mm short firearm by Q (Ben Whishaw).
The Walther PPK is considered the most popular and wildly know Bond gun, since it is the one he has used the most.
Originally, Bond used a Beretta, but that was later replaced with the Walter PPK.
The hand-gun he has in 'Skyfall' is a hand recognition one which is coded to his palm prints.

Since Daniel Craig was first cast as James Bond he has often had the nickname of 'James Blond' due to his lighter color hair
which is markedly different to the earlier actors who played Bond who had dark brown or black hair.

This film marks the return of title designer Daniel Kleinman who did the opening titles and gun-barrel sequences from GoldenEye to Casino Royale. In the previous film, Quantum of Solace, Kleinman was replaced by US special effects company MK12. 'Skyfall' is Kleinman's sixth collaboration as title designer in the series.

At two seconds shy of 143 minutes, this is the second longest Bond movie of all time,
the longest being Casino Royale at 144 minutes. The third longest running time for a Bond movie is
On Her Majesty's Secret Service which runs 142 minutes.


The first actor to play James Bond on the big screen was a Scot, Sean Connery.
The Scottish Dalness Estate once belonged to the Fleming family
and author Ian Fleming loved the Scotish region so much that he gave James Bond a Scotish genealogical lineage,
the character's father Andrew coming from Glencoe where 'Skyfall' filmed alongside the Buachaille Etive Mor mountain.
In On Her Majesty's Secret Service, James Bond was seen wearing a kilt.


The film marks the return of the classic silver James Bond car the Aston Martin DB5.
The vehicle was first seen in Goldfinger with its last appearance prior to this film being in Casino Royale.
The vehicle's appearance in 'Skyfall' is its sixth in the official series having also appeared in Thunderball, GoldenEye and Tomorrow Never Dies.
The license plate number of the DB5 in 'Skyfall' is BMT 216A, the same as it was in Goldfinger and Thunderball.

Bond Girl Naomie Harris's mother is from Jamaica where author Ian Fleming wrote the James Bond stories.
At 35 years of age, Harris is one of the oldest actresses to play a major Bond Girl.
Honor Blackman is the eldest to ever play one, being 37 years of age at the time of filming Goldfinger.

The Royal World Premiere was held on Tuesday 23rd October 2012 at Royal Albert Hall
in the presence of His Royal Highness Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall (Camilla Parker-Bowles).
The gala premiere raised UK £300,000+ in aid of the Prince's chosen charities.

First James Bond film to feature MGM's new 2012 logo.
The first James Bond movie to be released with the MGM Lion logo at the beginning was Octopussy.

'Skyfall' is the first English-speaking role for Marlohe who is the sixth French actress to play a leading Bond girl,
the others being Claudine Auger (Thunderball), Corinne Cléry (Moonraker, Carole Bouquet (For Your Eyes Only),
Sophie Marceau (The World Is Not Enough), and most recently, Eva Green in Casino Royale.

The film's opening sequence took two months to film, three months of rehearsals and twelve minutes of screen time.

Second time in the official James Bond film series that James Bond discusses the death of his parents,
the first time was in GoldenEye.

Daniel Craig performed many of his own stunts including the signature roof-top fight on the top
of a moving train traveling at 50 kph (31 mph) during the film's opening sequence.
Producer Barbara Broccoli has said:
"Daniel contributes a great deal to designing the action and the fights in particular and he's the one who really pulls it off, because he wants to do as much of it as he possibly can.
We were in Turkey for the train sequence and I had my heart in my mouth the whole time;
he and Ola were fighting on the roof of a moving train and the moves that they were doing were just heart stopping.
Daniel's the reason why the action works as well as it does because he sells it, he's up there and I think audiences know that."

M (Judi Dench)'s house in the film is the former home of the legendary Bond composer John Barry.
The filmmakers thought it would be a lovely tribute to the late composer
who composed many of the James Bond film scores and defined the signature theme music in the series,
his work being a core inspiration for the modern Bond music composed by David Arnold.

On an October 2012 TV interview with Graham Norton on the The Graham Norton Show,
Judi Dench revealed how her mobile cell phone has a ringtone with the James Bond theme
and how when it rang during filming on the set, it would often produce laughter, and after awhile,
her annoying 007 cell-phone ring-tone became an on-set running joke.

Javier Bardem's casting marks the first ever time that a Spanish actor has played the major lead villain in a James Bond movie.
The film's writers wrote the sсript with Bardem in mind whilst Bardem had the film's sсript translated into his native language
of Spanish so as to achieve a better understanding of the story and his character.
The first Bond movie Bardem ever saw was Moonraker, it's henchman Jaws being his favorite Bond villain.

Judi Dench's seventh and final time playing the M character.
Dench has played the role of M for seventeen years between 1995 until 2012, her first being in GoldenEye.

Ralph Fiennes is the fourth actor to play the M character in the official series. Fienne's character Gareth Mallory becomes M at the end of the film. Bernard Lee was the first actor to play M between 1962 and 1979 through the Connery, Lazenby and some Moore films. Robert Brown then played M for four films for the rest of Moore's films and the two film Dalton era. Judi Dench played M between 1995 and 2012 with her last appearance being in 'Skyfall'. Fienne's M is the sixth actor to play the character if one counts the unofficial Bond films where 'John Huston' and Edward Fox played M in Casino Royale and Never Say Never Again respectively.
