@ In this scene I realize that M took James for an egocentric and that failing to use him for personal ends or personal interest, she realizes that beyond certain values and principles which he defends , there is a story ... a journey ... This makes the diagnostic error all the more irreparable to me. " (Because of this there is a difference between being spied on and being a spy ... all abilities or skills put aside ... / there are diagnostic errors that cost more than others elsewhere 75 000 is almost half of 180 000 chance or Karma?!?)
The Daniel Craig Bond is an interesting interpretation because the films decide to not play him as cool and restrained. He is a Bond often of emotional extremes, simultaneously angrier and more violent, yet also more vulnerable and fragile too. It's a very good performance when you can believe the same man can cave your head in, burst into tears, and look good in a tuxedo.
+The Concise Statement That´s exactly why Craigs Bond is the best Bond to me. Before him or rather before they gave Bond the character features you just described, I didn´t even like Bond much.
He is the least handsome of the men who have played the roll and has has had some of the best screenplays. Put together they make for a more rounded portrayal. Not just an exercise in style and wit.
Not many people see it, but I like to think that this scene is a nod to the picture of Sean Connery posing next to his Aston Martin in the Alps. It's not exact, but this scene just does look familiar to that photograph.
This is one of the best scenes in the film, if not the franchise. Simple, but with lots of feeling. Contributes to a lot of the narrative of the movie in just a few lines. "How old were you when they died?" "You know the answer to that." "Orphans always make the best recruits." "A storm's coming."
I agree with you, this scene just really hit me. It resonated with me especially, with the moody music, I was lying on the couch watching this scene, and then I got hooked on RU-vid. This video alone did it.
It's at Glen Etive, travelling north on the A82 over Rannoch Moor, passed the Kings House Hotel, you turn left onto a single track road just prior and below the Buchaille Etiv Mhor mountain.
@@heinrichkaboobler3607 it wasn’t a real place/house it was made specifically for the film in England. The scene at the start of this is in glen coe tho and all interior scenes are done in the studio
Two of the best minutes of any James Bond film - indeed, ANY film ever. The cinematography, the scenery, the music, the minimalist dialogue, the dramatic silences. The solitary roar of the Aston as it carries its passengers to a fate unknown. Perfection.
I agree, out of all the James Bond movies Skyfall is my favorite and you cannot go wrong with the theme track everything about it is perfect. I miss Craig as 007
0:59 "Orphans always make the best recruits" You would think Bond would respond with a sentimental quip. But instead he hides what he's feeling. He always had the better hand, even when he's bluffing. That's how you think like James Bond.
I miss the old M. But in this case Judy Dench is perfect. Bond's an orphan, he lost his wife to Blofeld (not in this timeline but in the books) She's his boss but also a mother figure. Casino Royal ends with Bond saying "the bitch is dead." But with Dench as M, she gives motherly advice that Vesper actually loved him and sacrificed herself. That hits different. It hits harder than just being betrayed by someone you loved.
Was more than year ago there, exact place where Bond and M stopped highlands (thanks to great friend Tony) and can tell that feeling was absolutely fascinating. Great video with chilling feeling
1:35 The best special effects are the ones that are invisible and _don't_ draw attention to them. That mansion is a large miniature shot on a stage; _it does not exist!_
a classy quite reflection totally unlike any bond movies before, a quaint old world charm almost like HP movies, Skyfall is by-far the best Bond movie.
15 minutes into this movie I thought it would win the Oscar for best cinematography. Two hours in I was sure of it. Life of pi is green screen and visual effects. This is real cinematography from one of the master cinematographers of our time, Roger Deakins.
James Bond is revealed as Scottish in this yes but It kind of ties something else up and that is that Sean Connery's accent now makes complete sense and why in every Bond film hes reffered to as British not English
Do I have a link? No. I read Ian Flemming. Bond's Scottish ancestry is also noted in the book "James Bond. The Authorized Biography of 007" by John Pearson (1973).
I think it’s so funny that Bond has clearly been standing there for at least a few seconds before M gets out of the car. I’m just imagining her sitting in the car as Bond pulls up, jumps out of the car, and walks a few metres, and then just stands there. Did she want to give him a moment alone? Or did she think he was just stopping for a piss or something?
Yeah, Films (and this isn’t a bad thing) always have moments like these where people are having conversations in obscure places that normally no one would think to stop at. While poetic it seems unrealistic. I did always note her holding her overcoat and tossing it back into the car to mean she had been sleeping and woke up to find Bond sightseeing. Ultimately it makes for better cinematography in any film, but you can’t help but notice when characters are on a rooftop, or overlooking a huge bridge, or out on cargo docks in a shipyard and they share dialog.
e2number1 Well, Bond showed perfect karma by blowing up his house that destroyed the Merlin that destroyed that sexy silver 4 wheeled chariot, so it evens out. Don't you LOVE karma?
And with the 'Skyfall' track starting to pick up, it's pure perfection. It's just an excellent bit of music to go along with Bond and M driving to inevitability. I love it. So chilling.
So to confirm, like the books. James Bond is Scottish, not English and certainly not Irish like the movies, that was fucking comical and a disgrace to the British Intelligence services.
One of the best scenes in the movie even through its very subdued. I love how he looks at the clouds forming in the sky, then back up the road, then says the line "A storm's coming." One of the better uses of a double entendre in a movie. Also the phrase "Sometimes the old ways are the best" used three times in the movie - when Moneypenny is giving him a sensuous shave with a straight-blade razor, when he shows 'M' the old DB5 in the London garage, and when Kincade brings out the knife as one of the few weapons available at Skyfall.
M saying "no wonder you never came back" while looking at that Munster Mansion is classic. I think the producers toyed with the idea of Pierce or Daniel hooking up with M. Glad they didn't go there....but they coulda.
Scotland is beautiful the Highlands especially and Glencoe where this was shot, admittedly most of Central Scotland is an absolute Shitehole but thats just a small part of our beautiful country
@@AnomalousOne1401 And the next 007 is supposed to be a black woman. Where's the panic now? Unless the next film ends the series for good, I don't think such a premise will interest anybody. Except for morbid kind of curiosity...
Why didn't Bond just take Kincaide, leave the house, and go camp out in the mountains ore something, so Silva would just come to the house, look like a fool and leave.
Skyfall was my first introduction to James Bond movie... I remember watching it in theatre and feeling the cold as shown on screen... This woke up the Bond fanboy in me... Now TBH, I have seen Skyfall nearly 125 times
I love this scene between Bond and M. Such good acting by Craig. Just a "hmm" says so much. I always thought that when Bond says "Storm's coming" that the actor tried to sound more Scottish.
Think mist people have lost the point here. He's nit talking about his upbringing. He understands its deeply in him. He's saying to M you don't have to dance. You have to grow into what's happening. Scotland is the vehicle. Stop sthitting it. Be ruthless.
I love this because I was on a royal Caribbean cruise watching this for the first time and then we heard a helicopter landing above us later we found out it was a bond helicopter
I agree, it would be awesome, but I think any bond actor before Brosnan would be great, but Connery would be the very best due to the fact he is from Scotland
thers something about this that pulls me in . its like i belong there and allways have .sounds crazy right. but theres a feeling i get inside. like i belong there .. i know it sounds crazy but the feeling i get its in my belly and its like i have to be there
My...fiction can be fun. Timothy Dalton is mostly Welch, but James Bond IS Scottish. This is a nod to Sean Connery. Even Ian Flemming, after watching Sean Connery, made Bond in the remaining novels Scottish.
i love this scene how it adds something memorable, and what i like about skyfall so much is the title means something, something that has to do with bond, i also really love the music how it adds peacefulness but then again haunting with events from the past, u get this really strange feeling when you hear the musci too knowing this isnt a fight scene or a build up scene but more self centured, they did an amazing job with this scene
