Spectre film

In 2015, the BBFC received more feedback from the public about Spectre than any other film, with 40 complaints, mostly focusing on its scenes of violence. Its worldwide box office takings of $880.7 million made it the second highest-grossing film in the franchise (behind only its predecessor, Skyfall). Spectre was released in the UK on 26 October 2015. A broadly similar torture scene is present in a previous Bond film – Casino Royale, also rated 12A – and, given the lack of detail, and the audience's expectation that Bond will survive such threats, the BBFC considered the scene to be within the 12A Guidelines for depictions of violence. The scene features no graphic sight of blood or injury detail, and instead uses sound and Bond's facial expressions to suggest his pain. Spectre also features a scene of torture in which Bond is strapped to a chair while a villain pierces his head with a micro-drill. '… a brief moment of eye-gouging, with limited detail, and a scene in which a man shoots himself in the head, although the bullet impact is not shown on screen.' Short BBFCinsight cited 'moderate violence, threat'. The BBFC formally rated Spectre 12A on 21 October 2015. In the 12A version of the film, the suicide took place off-screen, and the injury detail was reduced. Two subsequent shots showed what might have been interpreted as brain tissue hanging down from the back of his head. The original suicide scene in the version submitted for advice showed a man place a gun underneath his chin and fire, with a spray of bloody mist. The 12A version of the film retained only an establishing shot of the thumbs being inserted, together with a reverse angle shot from behind the victim's head, with thumbs emerging slightly bloody. The eye-gouging in the version seen for advice showed a man embedding his thumbs in a victim's eye-sockets, the withdrawal of the thumbs, and sight of the bloody injury aftermath. BBFC staff viewed a re-edited version and advised that, now without strong bloody detail, the film was likely to be classified at 12A. The distributor chose to reduce or remove elements of these scenes. The BBFC advised that a 15 rating seemed the most probable outcome, citing strong bloody detail during a scene of eye-gouging and further bloody detail in the aftermath of the suicide of a terminally ill man. At this stage the film had no title sequence, end credits were missing and some special effects work was unfinished, but the Senior Compliance Officers (then Senior Examiners) who viewed it noted it was 'largely complete'. Subsequent trailers did not include these sequences, and were rated U, PG and 12A/12.Ĭolumbia submitted Spectre to the BBFC in August 2015, for advice on whether it was likely to meet the BBFC Guidelines criteria for 12A. The BBFC informed the company of cuts that would meet the PG Classification Guidelines standard: a blow with a weapon to a character's legs, and a heavy blow to another character's head. The second, longer, trailer featured scenes of hand-to-hand combat and was rated 12A. The first contained mild threat and was given a PG age rating. Meanwhile in London, a power grab at MI6 threatens the very existence of Bond's '00' intelligence section.Ĭolumbia, the film's distributor, submitted trailers to the BBFC in March and then July 2015. Their story sees Bond follow a trail from Rome, via Austria to the Sahara in pursuit of the mysterious leader of a criminal organisation. Playwright Jez Butterworth joined Skyfall trio Robert Wade, John Logan and Neal Purvis in working on the script. Skyfall director Sam Mendes returned to the James Bond franchise in 2015 with Spectre, the twenty-fourth film in the series.

Spectre / Daniel Craig as James Bond

Okay, let's talk about those dark blue polo shirts! Polos have been a part of Bond's look ever since Dr. No, but they're particularly identified with Daniel Craig's version of the character. This one is by Tom Ford and features an unusual "johnny collar"--a V-neck with no buttons. With it, he wears a tan suede jacket by Matchless, taupe chino trousers by Brunello Cucinelli, and tan lace-up boots by J. Crew.

It's been noted that this outfit may be an updated nod to one worn by Timothy Dalton as Bond in The Living Daylights (1987):

by the by it’s soooo krazy how i see almost no commentary on how skyfall is literally hinged on how the british empire deals with colonization/outsiders. many stop at face value about silva being bleach blond and playing his revenge game ignoring that the mask he puts on is a campy rendition of the blue-eyed blond-haired perfectly british archetype of the empire. how m pretty much sells him — a non-british agent whose origin is kept vague ON PURPOSE — to help china’s transition from british colony to free state?? how often britain is personified as a woman/the iconography of queen victoria and how m definitely stands for that?

I finally watched all James Bond films now and I have to say...I kinda liked all of them, but think my favourite Bond actor was Timothy Dalton. Of course it had to be the guy who was only in two films, lol. I need to rewatch Hot Fuzz now haha)
