Skyfall (2012)
My initial reaction:
Holy shit. That was not an action movie. That was a movie warning its audience that they were going to go to hell.
*SPOILERS*
Everything about it pointed that way. Every time Bond was about to have a sex scene with a girl, the scene before said: "Think on your sins."
They said "Sometimes the best way is the old fashioned way."
"What's your hobby?" "Resurrection," says Bond.
"Like most great ladies, she has her secrets."
Bond gets wounded in the chest, slits it with a knife and blood comes out.
"I look at the world...and it frightens me."
And finally, the whole scene at the end with the flames and the orange backdrop and etc.- that was HELL. Bond ran and ran, but he couldn't escape.
Then they said something like "It's never too late to turn back."
And then the villain (who was a demon), said "You're hurt! Let's end it together" and aims the gun at both of their heads. But it doesn't work- Bond comes in to save the day. The villain screams and collapses on the floor and Bond holds the wounded person- in a CHURCH.
Edit: They put crosses in the opening credits.
*END SPOILERS*
Seriously, I am amazed this movie got made.
I thought it was excellent, by the way. Just not what I was expecting at all. I have not seen other peoples' reactions but I will be curious if they picked up on this as well. The people who wrote/directed this were very, very clever.
Totally unlike any other Bond film.
