Was that the body of Solange that was found by Bond and M?

I wonder if they whipped her butt like Bonds,what a great butt for whipping.B-){[]
It all depends how you define 'used'. He was never going to have a serious relationship with her and would have slept with her had the phone call not interrupted. That could be classed as using her perhaps.
At least he has the decency to do some sort of seduction technique on the ladies before he tries his luck :007) -{
He mite have got a quicky before leaving her,he did seem upset they killed his new toy.
Actually, Eva's character WAS killed off. She sort of committed suicide...
Your right but,Eva should have die sooner Solange.
Okay, Solange is the traditional "sacrificial lamb" while Vesper is the heroine; sorry if you felt the casting should have been reversed, but the film succeeds to the extent that does based on a certain character structure.
She was fine- gorgeous although not the greatest actress ever. Far from terrible, though. I'm not sure how you would have fitted into the story, though- it is supposed to be a love story between Bond and Vesper. Comparing it to Thunderball doesn't work- it's more like OHMSS where Bond is supposed to be in love with the main girl. She's the equivalent of Ruby or someone like that.
There were a lot of things in CR that could've gotten more screen time, but didn't and instead we get: more Bond. I'll take that trade-off any day.
I don't know if she is a good actress or not, I haven't seen enough of her. But, I think her character could have been developed more. I'm not talking about 20 minutes of screen time, I 'm talking, one or two more scenes. Maybe how she is killed, so we can see how ruthless Bond's enemies are. Maybe when she discovers Bond has left her. I felt something else was needed, it was liked the character was introduced and then she disappears only to be seen as a corpse.
My comparison to TB, wasn't that CR should be like TB, they are two different stories. My point was TB had four female characters and all seemed like well developed characters, even if their screen time was small, like Molly Peters.
I repeat that I liked CR, but one of my small complaints was Solange was an under developed character.
The flip side of this, she could've been cut completely. The only plot point she serves is to tell Bond Demetrios left for Miami, something he could've found out from the desk clerk, a bellboy, a cabbie, etc. For a character with such an obviously artificial reason to exist, I thought she had some goodly screen time. Could've been more, sure, but I think I'd want her to have more to do with the story then. I did think she was fine as an actress (the "no-name" comment was about us not ever hearing her name, like many memorable characters in many memorable movies, we only know their names from reading them in the credits).
I liked her, thought she was cute and all. I also liked they kept the plot moving, and focused on Bond. Unlike TB, where if you blink you might miss a scene Connery's in, CR is all about Craig/Bond. After so many lather-rinse-repeat plots that have had Bond bouncing around like a pinball, CR was a nice change of pace. What was really nice about Solange that she did have such a clear character set up so well and fast, nice job by the writers/director and Ms. Murino. {[]
. . .OK, forget I asked that last question!
In the same way that Jeffery Wright impressed me and made me thought he'd one of the best actors to play Felix (if not the best), even though he only had a line or two. You just know.
They torture and kill her- they seem ruthless enough from that. There's still no room for more of her. I'd have liked Bond to her given her one, but having her there for a short time was much better than not having her there at all.
The better looking actress should have had the most screen time,that wasn't Eva.It seem that the casting director was blind when they cast Eva as the leading lady
Why should I forget?
Anyway, with the new emphasis on Bond as a sex symbol it's more likely we would have seen him and Le Chiffre mud wrestling over Vesper Lynd's affection.
Hell yeah,I want to mud wrestle think Caterina.i would like too....
Well that mite be to much info.....{[]
