For the record I can't say anything bad about Bond as he's my personal role model, don't care if he is a smoker, alcoholic, gambler, irresponsible, offensive and my favorite quality of his womanizing I absolutely love him.
This is a 2015 action film which looks at the themes of security, government and secret groups. The film film was directed by Sam Mendes, written by John Logan, Neil Purvis and Robert Wade and produced by Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. The key members of the cast are Daniel Craig and Christoph Waltz. The film was given a budget of $245,000,000 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and has made $200,000,000 (Though they should make another though it's a loss). It had won a golden globe for best son by Sam Smith and is nominated for an Oscar for the same award what it should win. The film follows James Bond as he goes around the world trying to uncover what Spectre is and destroy it meanwhile M tries to defend the British secret service. For this I shall be looking at the misc en scene and the music.
For this I'll be looking at the misc en scene. In one scene James Bond has tracked Mr.White down to the alps where he interrogates him. While he is doing this there's a chess set layed out onto the table with Mr.White playing white and Bond playing black. This is reminding the audience that this scruffy looking man is Mr.White and the reason bond is black is because black and bond both begin with B though it's mostly just default with bond. However it would be telling the audience that Spectre are always one step ahead of Bond this is because in chess white always go first meaning that Mr.White who was apart of Spectre are always one step ahead of Bond.
For this I'll be looking at music more specifically the intro song "Writing's on the wall" by Sam Smith. The song's title along would tell the audience that Spectre would of been clearly in front of Bond for a long time but he never noticed it. To support this later in the film when Blofeld tells Bond the reason why all of the previous Bond girls have died. It also uses words which are large such as storm and a million, the use of these words would be telling the audience that Spectre is incredibly massive.
Compared to the other Bond films that Sam Mendes has directed, was Spectre better or worse or equal to them? Use of sound is important in the Bond films as well because it adds suspense & it also drags the audience into the film.
ReplyDeleteHope this helps. :)
A main thing to add is talk about how the themes are shown within the film, and mention what production companies were involved with making the film, but I like the short analysis of the mise en scene with the chess pieces.
ReplyDeleteThe analysis side of this is really good and goes in depth looking at different aspects. To improve you could go into detail about the previous relevant films in this case other James Bond films and also talk about the creation and crew in more depth. Good work:)
