    Casino Royale took James Bond in an entirely new direction, transforming the somewhat cheesy spy franchise into a more gritty, hardcore version of 007 played by Daniel Craig. The movie was a huge success and a new direction for Bond was officially underway. Naturally, there was a lot of pressure on a sequel to recapture that same magic. It… didn’t?
    Quantum of Solace definitely raises some questions. Like are we supposed to remember exactly who the minor character is at the beginning of this movie? Why did that undercover agent blow his eight-year infiltration on shooting some random guy and running away? How did M magically heal? What’s the story of this movie? Why did Bond rescue that girl only to hand her off to a random guy? Is Dominic Greene supposed to be an intimidating villain?
    To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Quantum of Solace! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

      If I remember correctly, these movies show Bond at the beginning of his career so he hasn't gotten his womanizing reputation yet. And M absolutely rips him a new one over this incident. She's livid at not just how unprofessional he was, but also at the fact that he's damaged that agent's career by seducing her into not doing her job.

      Well letting companies compete with each other to see who can supply the most water for the cheapest price is actually the best way to make water more easily available for everyone in the long run. If you are suggesting that the government should pay for everyone's water, then that stifle innovation which could be disastrous for the future.

    • @justinmadrid8712
      @justinmadrid8712 Před 2 lety +3

      @Jack der Hauptsturmführer Every advanced country in the world has banned toxic food and water. And if lead was showing up in water, then people will stop buying from that company and switch to another. The free market is the best way to expand markets and foster innovation. If the government controlled the water supply, then there would be no financial incentive to innovate water distribution techniques.
      As soon as the government takes control of something, innovation slows to a crawl. Why do you think we still have to wait in line for 2 hours at the DMV just to replace a drivers license? Why do you think employee parking is often right next to government buildings but citizen parking is far away? If it was a private company, the customer parking would very close to the building, and you would be able to get your drivers license online with very little wait.

    My brother and I watched this in the theater when we where young and literally had no memory of what happened in it for years until we rewatched it recently for reasons I no longer recall.

    Quantum of Solace is actually a solid movie, love the emotional and vengeful theme going on. It really builds on what Casino Royale did and made Bond human. Sure the pacing is weird and sometime doesn't make any sense. But the scenes themselves aren't bad.

    "So the climax will involve James Bond getting into a scrap with a tiny French dude? Seems like that fight should be easy for Bond to win."
    "Actually, it's gonna be super difficult, a massive inconvenience."
    "Oh, really?"
    "Yeah yeah yeah, the French guy's gonna go completely crazy and swing this fire axe everywhere, and Bond will be too busy not getting himself cut in half to really do anything. He'll only end up winning when the guy cuts his own foot in half."
    "Oh, heroes who win by not doing anything until the villain defeats himself are tight!"

    I love the guy on the docks just sweeping air! I've been an extra on a few projects and a lot of the time we're in the background pretending to do stuff but that was pretty bad. Can't believe it slipped past the editing process.

    You know, hoarding an entire country’s water supply is actually a pretty evil plan. A human being can survive up to a week without eating but not without water and the people of that country were already having a water crisis. A lot of people were for sure gonna die of thirst because of that dude’s plan and the entire place may have been driven into extreme poverty.
    That’s no joke.

      But like, Bolivians are already established as being raked over the coals and treated like crap. So its not like they are going from a great life to a crappy one. Its just an even worse life. Which is low stakes, as said in this episode. In film terms, obviously, IRL thats messed up

    • @CornelAnco
      @CornelAnco Před 2 lety +5

      I think it would be of higher stakes if it was being done in a developed country. In middle or low income countries, piped water isn't the only source of water. We get water from lakes, streams, rain, puddles etc. So though it may seem such an evil plan to an English scriptwriter, the stakes just aren't that high imv.
