    (1) How do the films discussed link the concepts of ‚crime’ and ‚travelling’? What makes travelling such an interesting phenomenon within the crime genre? Please also refer to the narrative structure of crime films. Travelling has used to be an activity that entirely differs from our everyday life, an escape in order to find authenticity.

For this debate, I will be comparing the Daniel Craig-Era Bond (for reference; these films include Casino Royale [2006], Quantum Of Solace, Skyfall, and Spectre) and Jason Bourne as he appears in these three films: “The Bourne Identity,” “The Bourne Supremacy,” and “The Bourne Ultimatum.” These iconic characters have many similarities and differences, but I’m going to explain to

    Casino Royale Essay

    Daniel Craig’s new James Bond in Casino Royale breathes fresh life into what had become, in my opinion, a rather tired and worn out concept - a striking achievement, considering Casino Royale was Ian Fleming’s first novel in the series, written in 1953. We encounter Bond as a fledgling British agent, yet to gain MI6 double-0 Status, with its ‘licence to kill’. The film strikes me as being more violent than previous Bond films, showing him cleaning up after the action - indeed, some of his injuries

Bond is now living in a world unstable and vulnerable to threats. This is all because of the devastating effects of the 9/11 tragedy. Society still mourning the loss of loved ones; we see this ripple effect shown in the reinvented 2011 Skyfall film. The Bond series has made a dramatic change from the 1990 Brosnan era

    James Bond was created as the man every man wanted to be; witty, successful in love and lust with ladies, and, of course, he was a spy. In the early films, he was essentially the perfect man, and showed little-to-no emotional connection with anybody at all. Once again, Hollywood has conformed to the narrow versions of a hero and has implicitly placed unreasonable stereotypes onto the young men of this generation, by enforcing the social standard that young men should indefinitely suppress any emotion
