The new face of James Bond The Sean Connery era is gone. His James Bond was good, but Roger Moore replaced the Scottish actor. A new face and new adventures for British Intelligence Agent 007. On the screen are bright colors of the 1970s and villains who will try to change the balance in the world, filling the prosperous USA with a huge amount of drugs. The idea of the film is interesting and, it seems, relevant, given that it has not been raised before in films about the confrontation of British intelligence with various threats to the world. Roger Moore is quite good in the role of Bond. Yes, Moore's Bond is completely different: more smiling, gentle, diligently giving out witty jokes. This is unusual and even interesting. Looking ahead, I can say that in recent films featuring Moore as Agent 007, such an image of the hero will be overly exaggerated and even irritate me. But now it looks a little strange, given the previous ideas about a secret agent in the service of Her Majesty. The plot of the film is not particularly complicated. James Bond goes to find out the causes of the death of several agents in America at once. The sequence of certain events necessarily introduces him to the fatal beauty and the main villains, where I want to highlight both the central antagonist Kananga and his henchman Ti Hee. Both are quite colorful, but the whole film does not leave the feeling that they are not some real villains, but some kind of merry fellows that are about to wave their hands and say that they were joking all this time. It is impossible to get rid of this feeling throughout the whole picture. Probably, it's still a minus when you watch a seemingly serious action movie about spies. A fresh sip for the franchise, in my opinion, was the fortune teller Solitaire, who added a certain mysticism to the picture. This is a statuesque beautiful girl who does not fit into the usual former standard of choice for the role of Bond's "young ladies". On the other hand, you suddenly realize that Bond himself has not become younger. After all, Roger Moore is even a little older than Sean Connery. Moore is over 45 years old. To see him with young 20-25 year old girls would be strange. But the actor is only playing Bond for the first time. And it will continue for another ten years. This skew catches the eye, but, looking ahead again, it will look even more ridiculous in the latest paintings with Moore's participation. Here, the Tapeworm fits quite harmoniously into the picture, acting as an intelligent and serious person who may well seriously affect the fate of what is happening. And she was made such by actress Jane Seymour, who was in her early twenties at the time of the film's release. I thought she was at least 27-30 years old. I am sure this is a conscious step by the creators of the film in order to somehow "equalize" the age actor and the young actress on the screen. The picture tries to follow the usual dynamism of Bond, but it does not always come out well. However, some repetitions and boring moments are not particularly observed. The film looks generally dynamic and a bright representative of its own kind. The spirit of the times is well conveyed in "Live and Let Die". Bright colors of the 1970s, a new theme that is relevant to the modern world order, familiar Bond gadgets and dynamism — all this makes the new Bond film watchable and interesting. 8 out of 10
