James Bond
A) With his dry wit and impeccable (无瑕疵的) style, James Bond has been defying death and ruining the plans of evil madmen in service of Queen and country for more than 50 years. From his first appearance in a 1953 novel to his leading role in one of the most successful franchises (特权) in film history, Bond has traveled to more exotic locations, romanced more women, escaped from more harrowing death traps and saved the world more times than any other secret agent, real or fictional.
B) Much about the early life of James Bond remains unclear, befitting a secret agent. Even the date of his birth is in dispute—early accounts suggest various dates in the 1920s, implying that modem-day chronicles (记载) of his exploits recount the events of decades past. His Scottish father worked for a British arms manufacturer and was killed while mountain climbing along with Bond’s Swiss mother when James was eleven. The orphan attended several prestigious schools before enlisting in the Royal Navy during World War II, where he rose to the rank of commander. Following the War, he entered the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), also known as MI6, short for 6th Branch of the Military Intelligence Directorate. His first two assignments were assassinations, which led to his permanent designation as a "double-0" agent, one with a license to kill in the line of duty. As the seventh such agent, he was designated Agent 007.
C) Bond is no mere foot soldier. His undercover assignments have taken him to exotic locales that include volcanic islands, Las Vegas, Paris, India, Tokyo and even a space station. He usually operates under an alias (化名), usually as a representative of Universal Exports. His charm and charisma are reinforced by his taste for fine suits, fast cars and his signature beverage: a dry martini, shaken, not stirred. Bond’s missions bring him into contact with both sophisticated elites and shady underworld figures. In both situations, he has repeatedly demonstrated (and overcome) his one true weakness— he can’t resist a beautiful woman.
D) Although Bond is a gifted athlete and well-trained in martial arts, he doesn’t have to rely on his wits and physical prowess alone. The Q Branch of MI6 regularly outfits 007 with clever devices, usually in the form of a mundane object that hides an explosive, a gun or another key item. He also has access to heavily modified experimental vehicles, and often carries a hidden escape device or a means of communicating with his handlers in an emergency. When all else fails, he keeps a Walther PPK.32 caliber (口径) handgun tucked into a shoulder holster, though he also uses other weapons when needed.
E) Bond’s missions have varied wildly, but one thing is always consistent: MI6 deploys him when nothing else matters more than getting the job done. Bond is considered a "blunt instrument" of the crown, a man who can accomplish difficult missions regardless of the political, financial or personal consequences.
F) The first screen appearance of James Bond was in a pilot (试播节目) for a CBS TV series. Based on the novel Casino Royale, the pilot flopped and the series was never made. Fleming’s novels would eventually be made into a successful series of films, starting with "Dr. No" in 1962. The 20 official Bond films released since then (prior to the release of 2006’s Casino Royale) have made about $3.8 billion worldwide, and over $1.2 billion in the United States. Five different actors have played the role of James Bond in the official films. Daniel Craig is the sixth Bond, appearing in the 2006 "reboot" of the franchise.
G) Sean Connery was the first James Bond, playing the role in six movies from 1962 to 1971. Although Fleming reportedly disliked Connery at first, he was eventually won over, even working a Scottish father into the literary Bond’s ancestry to reflect Connery’s own background. Connery’s Bond was closer to the version depicted in Fleming’s novels, though he did inject more humor into the character.
H) George Lazenby took over the role for one film, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, in 1969. Having had no prior acting experience, Lazenby’s performance is largely derided by most Bond fans. In fact, his acting career virtually ended after that film, and Connery took the role back for one more official Bond film in 1971. From 1973 to 1985, Roger Moore left an indelible mark on the Bond character. Moore’s Bond is generally kinder and more genial than Connery’s, and this era gave birth to some of the more outlandish exploits, involving space stations, super lasers and other science fiction elements.
I) Timothy Dalton’s two-film run in the late 1980s was seen by many as a return to the character’s roots. The Dalton films are darker and more cynical. However, lawsuits tied up the Bond franchise for several years, and when they resumed in 1995, it was time for a new Bond. Pierce Brosnan played Bond four times from 1995 to 2002. For younger fans of the series, he is the only Bond. His wry smile and dry wit are reminiscent of Roger Moore’s portrayal of Bond, but Brosnan also guided the character forward. Daniel Craig is the sixth actor to play Bond and is also the only blond to take the role. Including 2006’s Casino Royale, he is signed to a three-film contract. Like all other "new Bonds" before him, Craig’s selection caused some controversy and angered some fans of the series.
J) The Cold War and anti-Nazi plots of the ’60s and ’70s were outdated by the time the franchise started up again in the mid-1990s, so the modern Bond became tied up in media wars, terrorist plots and high-technology threats. Although each film is unique, they tend to contain certain elements.
K) Fast-paced Action. The core of any Bond film is the fast-paced action. Car chases, daring leaps from buildings or mountains, hand-to-hand combat, gunfights, narrow escapes from death traps, even boat and airplane chases are all vital to the success of a Bond film. Bond always pulls off these sometimes preposterous (荒谬的) sequences with panache and style.
L) Humor. A Bond film is not a gritty exploration of the espionage (侦探) underworld or a high-minded glimpse into global politics. Even at the most tense moments, Bond finds time for a one-liner, dryly delivered with a half-smile.
M) Visual Beauty. James Bond doesn’t get into a car chase while driving a Pinto through Detroit. He drives a Lotus Esprit along a winding mountain road that overlooks a stunning rain-forest. His cases take him to golden beaches, vibrant jungles, even crystal ice palaces. A mission might require him to attend a high-cost charity auction held in the penthouse of an expensive hotel.
N) Bond Girls. The selection of each Bond Girl is almost as anticipated as the casting of a new James Bond. A Bond Girl is not just beautiful—she is also a "femme fatale", a woman that will cause Bond great trouble when he inevitably finds himself attracted to her. Some of them are outright villains, while others have their own tragic stories and vulnerabilities that make Bond feel protective. Bond usually wins the girl, but sometimes she betrays him and sometimes she dies in his arms.
O) Bond’s popularity has inevitably led to imitation and parody (滑稽的模仿). Comedy series like the cartoon Inspector Gadget took elements of James Bond and mined them for material. Perhaps the most well-known Bond parody is Mike Myers’ Austin Powers series. In these films, the secret agent is thawed out after several decades of being frozen, which explains why he retains his "swinging ’60s" attitude and fashion sense. James Bond is more than just a fictional character; the franchise has defined the espionage thriller and will surely influence this genre for decades to come.
Roger Moore’s version of James Bond was a success and those movies were characterized by science fiction elements.
