One Dress a Day Challenge

September: Bond Films

Casino Royale / Dame Judi Dench as M (Olivia Mansfield?*)

Discussion of the clothing in this scene usually (and understandably) centers around Daniel Craig's famous midnight blue polo shirt; but I really like what M is wearing here too. I haven't been able to find out whether it was the work of any particular designer, but it looks comfortable, businesslike, and appropriate for warm weather.

The jacket has some heft and structure to it, with the "rope" texture of the weave, and it provides a little color variation from the signature grey that M otherwise wears throughout the movie. Underneath, she wears a dark grey blouse and slightly lighter skirt. When the jacket falls open, a buckle can be seen cinching the folds of the blouse just above the right hip. With this, she wears silver jewelry and black, low-heeled slingback pumps.

*(M is never named onscreen, but the name Olivia Mansfield appears on a prop in Skyfall.)

Три любимых фильма про Джеймса Бонда (и почему они самые любимые)

Во-первых, сразу стоит сказать, что по-настоящему я фанатею только по КрейгоБондиане. Самый-самый любимый - "Скайфолл". Для меня тут идеальное соотношение драмы и экшена плюс интересный злодей. Ну и Денч!М в роли фактически девушки Бонда - это очень оригинальный и сильный ход. Потом - "Квант милосердия". Его принято ругать, но мне он кажется достаточно гармоничным, плюс я очень люблю тамошний экшен - он очень правильный по ощущениям, некомфортный и стремительный. "Квант" ни разу не выдающийся фильм, но он приятно адекватный и не вызывает фэйспалмов и желания поржать. Плюс мне понравилось, что отношения Бонда с Камиллой в этом фильме обошлись без секса, чисто боевое товарищество, тоже свежо по меркам франшизы. Замыкает тройку "Спектр". Сценарно он мне не нравится, так как распадается на две части: метафорическое путешествие в прошлое в компании личного психотерпевта и разборки разведок, обе эти линии идут параллельно, причем в разведках режиссер не силен. На мой взгляд лучше бы оставили только первую линию. Плюс там на мой взгляд довольно комичный злодей и в целом идея, что злодеи из предыдущих фильмов составляли одну организацию бы��а неплоха на фанонном уровне, то как только стала каноном - вышло НЕ ОЧЕНЬ. А, ну и эксплуатация идеи из "Скайфолла" про главгада, выползшего из прошлого одного из персонажей - чисто бе (потому они это еще раз в "Не время умирать" сделали и тоже, на мой взгляд, все запороли. НО в "Спектре" моя любимая девушка Бонда, Мадлен Сванн и именно там она мне нравится больше всего. (Следующий фильм с ней мне вообще не зашел, ибо осталось стойкое ощущение замученного неоднократным переписыванием мертвого сценария.) Вот за Мадлен и 00Swann фильм в первой тройке.

Incorrect MI6 quotes 44/??

Thank you for going apeshit with me <3 I hate James Bond I love him he's a moron he's the smartest man in the room he destroys everything he touches and he knows it and even so he can't help but reach out in something so human as 'please love me please need me please tell me i did good' he's a whore and a saint and a weapon dont worry im kissing u too

LITERALLY LIKE. He is extremely intelligent and yet he makes the stupidest decision ever possible because he has no sense of self and context or normality.

Everything he touches withers and dies!!! And yet he wants and james bond is someone who does not want by half, if he wants something he needs to consume it or be consumed by it. He's fully and completely everything or nothing kind of guy!!

"Please love me, please tell me I did good" the crux of his relationship with M. She was for the longest the most stable figure in his life and their relationship is a complicated dance, one where bond desperately craves her approval but she will never voice it, one where she makes excepted for him but it will never be enough for him because see above.

He needs absolute certainty, he craves absolution but she will never give it to him lest she lose a weapon so they make do with the fact that she will grant exceptions and lencieny when she can but when pudh comes to shove, the mission will be utmost. To james, that is the surest truth of his life and one he's always conflicted about because she should trust him to do his job but he will also never hold it against her. He can not.

"A whore and a Saint and a weapon" Oh God quantum of solace.... sobbing screaming throwing up.

This is also why when james starts feeling thins for people he tries to leave !! To quit!! Because if he loves someone he need to devote himself in his entirety, he is so unhinged and insane. This is why he leaves with vesper, this is what he means when he says "I've no Armour left, you've stripped it all away", this is why all felix has to do is ask and james goes back.

alright but Olivia Mansfield was meant to be symbolic of the queen or tradition or monarchy or something, right?
