    I think its a great touch that Bond is so bloodied after the stairwell fight. The action scenes really hurt in this film. If only the Spectre train fight had such physical stakes.

    A slightly unhinged, disturbed Vesper In the shower and Bond joining her Is a brilliantly played moment by both actors.. Greene’ expression, and disturbed eyes are haunting...
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    Why would that be a metaphor for Craig weeping?

    When I first saw the shot of the broken wine glass in the Chris Cornell music video I thought that shot was going to be from the scene where Vesper commits suicide in the bath...but of course I was mistaken.

    It's not a metaphor - it's camouflage :v

    A shower scene quite unlike the shower scenes in TB, TMWTGG, TSWLM, NSNA, AVTAK and SF. (Did I miss any?)
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    Because he empathises with the traumatised Vesper... but is too dry to show it outwardly?

    I think, that you are over-analyzing things.

    This croupier guy was an actual croupier, not an actor. Does a brilliant job.

    It's just a coincidence, but Giancarlo Giannini had earlier been in the film "Hannibal" and Mads Mikkelsen would later be in the TV series of that name.

    But Campbell is just artsy enough to make that interpretation credible.

    Fantastic 'reveal' of Leiter. I felt that as a punch-the-air moment in 06.

    She can wear a dress...or NOT wear a dress...very well.

    Or just not be on screen...I wouldn’t mind that either—sorry Eva lovers :))

    It’s about the writing coupled with the delivery, but Mr Wright is superb.
    He and Craig create one of those “click” moments where both men know
    they have met someone who is going to be a good friend. One of the few things
    QoS follows up on well.
