At FilmSpeak, we're BIG James Bond fans and so it's about time we shed some light on The Legendary James Bond Movie Everyone Forgot...Tomorrow Never Dies in a video essay!
Tomorrow never dies is the eighteenth Bond film in the franchise and the second James Bond movie for Pierce Brosnan. Directed by Roger Spottiswoode, Tomorrow Never Dies 007 also stars Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Pryce, Teri Hatcher, and Judi Dench. Media mogul Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce) wants his news empire to reach every country on the globe, but the Chinese government will not allow him to broadcast there. Carver doesn't take no for an answer and plans to use his media empire to fuel flames of war between the Western world and China. Thankfully, James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) is on to the insane news tycoon and travels to China to stop him with the help of Chinese secret agent Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh). While audiences may remember and revere Pierce Brosnan's first Bond movie Goldeneye, the sequel to his explosive debut often gets forgotten. Tomorrow Never Dies is arguably the most underrated and overlooked James Bond movie and has only scarily gotten more relevant with age. If it's been years since you watched the Tomorrow Never Dies movie or if you've never seen the second Pierce Brosnan James Bond movie, it's worth a revisit. Griffin (@griffschiller) explores and analyzes the legendary James Bond Movie Everyone Forgot and makes a case in this James Bond video essay for why Tomorrow Never Dies is an underrated James Bond movie!

My thoughts are keep your political views to yourself. I don't need to know about your hatred towards the right or conservative media. We had an entire summer of burning churches, violent riots, killings. Meanwhile the mainstream media lying headlines read "peaceful protests" as a building was literally burning and looters were robbing stores. So keep your politics to yourself.

I think Tomorrow never dies has got better over time, perhaps overshadowed by Goldeneye which is superior than it.

@tpampouk 3 года назад

Totally agree. It's criminally underrated, especially nowadays. It's one of the most fun Bond movies, for me at least

@jchan8539 3 года назад

My all time favorite James Bond scene is when he escapes after months of imprisonment and walks into a high class hotel looking like a bum with his unkempt hair and beard. However protrudes confidence and charm despite his current condition. He then gets a fancy room, cleans himself up and walks out of the hotel with a new haircut, a shave,and a new suit. That to me is James Bond.

brosnan is underrated in general. And I do not get why. The man is seriously the modern mirror of the old novels

@Mystefier 3 года назад

I think it's party because people mistakenly think very serious characters are more realistic, but being very serious and lacking a sense of humor is one of the biggest things I believe make fictional characters less like real people. I think Brosnan's bond was much more like a real person than Craig or Dalton.

@davidhughmiller 2 года назад

Brosnan is my favourite James Bond.

@Mystefier 2 года назад

I see it that Broccoli evolved Bond through the movies into being like a modern swashbuckler. If he appeared in the 1930's he could totally be an Errol Flynn role. I hear the books were a lot different.

@JorgeObando 2 года назад

Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan ARE James Bond as Ian Fleming imagined him; and no other actor enjoyed being James Bond more than Pierce Brosnan. He is the only one who never complained about filming workload, paychecks, Bond’s personality, and so on. Do the homework and compare Brosnan’s movies with Craig’s era: even the light is bluer (sadder) in the latter (Skyfall and its sequels). Of course, in Craig’s movies you get 500% more stunts, but James Bond is about glamour, intelligence, and passion for what he does while saving the world. It is not about a man’s struggle with midlife crisis and, on top of that, save the world, if you don’t mind, please, Mr. Bond?

For the longest time, this was my favorite Brosnan Bond film. That later changed to GoldenEye, but I see Tomorrow Never Dies as a solid follow up. Also, I think its aged the best within his 4 movies. The plot is actually pretty plausible in this age of consent news, ever changing technology, and idealistic / brash businessmen.

For me it's still is the best Brosnan's Bond. I liked GE the least (out of Brosnan's) when I first saw it. Since then it grew on me, and I understand why majority of Bond fans love it. But also understood one of its major flaws for me: GE's score of Serra is a lacklustre and detracts from film's atmosphere, while Arnold was fantastic as Bond composer and TND is one of his better works.

Thank you! This film deserves so much more credit than it gets. I remember after leaving the theater with my friends. I said I think Bond is actually ahead of his time, story wise and action sequences. They were all like no just another Bond film. I said do you see the way the world is changing. Maybe it was just me. In my Jr. and Sr. year of H.S. I spent half the day working on computers. This is going to age me but I don't care. I graduated in 1987. I was the top student two years in a row on those ancient machines. It came with perks though. If the teacher left the class everyone knew I was in charge. It also came with a recommendation to work at the IRS on the weekends while still going to school. I digress, I love this movie and wish more people would appreciate it what it accomplished. Peace

Since then my tastes have shifted completely, Dalton and Connery are the Bonds for me now, so are their film tenures I consider the best (add OHMSS, CR and scenes from other Craig's for perfect cocktail). Still, the sentimentals is still there. Brosnan surely looks the part. And his films are FUN. For kid me, DAD was great, and I was later surprised by the amount of hate it gets. For kid me, Brosnan films were the best. Also, 90s ACTION in the same cocktail with Mooresque quips. Great.

Tomorrow Never Dies is Pierce Brosnan Bond perfection. That soundtrack its still my absolute favourite next to License To Kill in the Bond franchise.

I think Hearst is the better comparison than Murdoch. I’ve heard that was the actual inspiration for the villain.

Carver even quotes William Randolph Hearst when discussing his plot to instigate a war for headlines.

You're right. But this guy couldn't resist getting in a dig at Fox News (which I hate) while ignoring CNN, MSNBC, and the other garbage media outlets.

This was an AWESOME vid! TND is definitely an underrated Bond film, and a terrific entry. I LOVE that you fell in love with Bond through the TND video game, as that's a Bond game that is also VERY underrated Carver has always been one of my personal FAVORITE Bond villains, as his plan for manipulation of the media was genius (and the perfect plan in a post-Cold War world). That was in 1997, YEARS before social media became a thing, and his plot is even more relevant today

@vincentnaimo9501 3 года назад

I like your videos. I really do. And I feel much the same way. But the way you highlight Fox News while glossing over Jeff Zucker and CNN and how they manufacture narrative better than anyone kind of highlights the effectiveness of Eliot Carver’s character.

Finally this movie gets it's flowers. Pierce was the BEST Bond

@JordanArce Год назад

Easily my favorite Brosnan-era movie. The bmw car chase! Dynamic and incredibly fun. The bike chase! Original and exciting stunt extravaganza, with the coolest Bond girl. Pierce at his SMOOTHEST under pressure, whether it’s machine gun fire or a past lover. The modern suave professional just doing his job. The media controlling villain mixed with stealth technology is almost proper science fiction. For me, this movie has to be considered as one of the best implementations of the Bond formula.

A couple of things I like * The on-screen relationship between M and Admiral Roebuck is, I'm sure, better because Judi Dench and the late Geoffrey Palmer were also at the time playing joint leads on sitcom As Time Goes By, and he was also in Mrs Brown with her the same year as TND. * I also love M's barb at the Russian guy of "Can't you people keep *anything* locked up?" which I've always assumed is a reference to the sheer number of "ex-Soviet nuke falls into the wrong hands" plots going round in the 90s. * Vincent Schiavelli is great, and is I think the only reason why that goofy scene coming straight after Paris' death isn't awful - he's got the charisma to pull it off. * There are *so* many later-to-be-famous actors playing sailors on the Royal Navy scenes. Hugh Bonneville, Jullian Rhind-Tutt, Gerard Butler... * M's obituary of Carver refers to him falling off his yacht, which was the *other* media mogul of the era, Robert Maxwell

I oddly think this movie is a lot of fun. i remember the one hand each motorcycle scene being kinda cool as a kid. As well as them jumping down building while the banner rips. It’s just cool. I also imagine despite it not being as good as goldeneye making a lot of money. Kinda the same way TDKR made more than TDK simply because of the latter being so beloved.

@eva44940 3 года назад

Goldeneye is objectively more polished but Tomorrow never dies is so much juicier! a villain that (unfortunately) aged really well, amazing action pieces with great practical stunts, and an emotional thread that connects back to justify his mantra in Goldeneye of "i stay alone to stay alive". Paris's death proves his mantra right and Brosnan excels at playing the effective cold killer with repressed emotion. It sets up how women are a coping mechanism for him to avoid processing trauma. Plus this movie moves relationships forward from Goldeneye, showing Moneypenny as Bond's wingwoman (not only an office flirtation) and making M and Bond allies (beyond the contentious boss-agent dynamic). p.s. Arnold is so good you could watch the movies without dialogue and he will still guide you along the emotional narrative in music

@FilmSpeak 3 года назад

Absolutely! It’s just a perfect follow up and date I say did a better job advancing the series into the 21st Century. Goldeneye said good bye, TND said hello. Also yeah, Arnold is incredible
