May the heavens fall "Skyfall" has already become the twenty-third James Bond project in the famous series and the third picture, where the role of an English intelligence officer is played by the memorable and charismatic Daniel Craig. The new story was timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the start of the now famous franchise. The scope of the painting and its sincerity allowed the project to reach a new level, giving the audience one of the most interesting stories about Agent 007. The story continues. Bond and the entire organization are confronted by one of the most memorable antagonists of the entire Bond, played by the inimitable Javier Bardem. His villain Silva is an extraordinary person. A professional, dangerous strategist who thinks through all his steps in advance, he seeks to finally meet with his mentor M, who, as in previous projects, was played by an excellent actress Judi Dench. Her role in this picture has been significantly expanded, making the heroine literally one of the most important links in the entire secret system that she heads and which Silva now seeks to destroy. The picture is good. The production is habitually atmospheric and memorable. New chases, shootouts, explosions and fights — all this does not give off a secondary character and at the same time resembles the corporate identity of the James Bond project. However, the picture tends to be a thriller rather than a familiar action movie. This project is clearly different from the two previous paintings with Craig. Here, Bond himself is revealed to us much more. He's not the same as before. Years of service have worn out a man, turned him into an agent who has served his time, who with the last of his strength grabs at the last opportunity to remain in the service, although he copes badly with the standards for an agent. In this film, we see how he struggles with the advent of modernity, where, as stated, muscle and shooting issues are no longer solved. But as the further development of the plot will show, Bond is still needed, he is still relevant. There's a lot more dialogue in the movie. Meaningful dialogues. Shifting the narrative in this direction allows you to enjoy a new transformation of Bond, but his relationship with M. is becoming even more interesting. Finally, the characters get closer, begin to trust each other, and the woman, it seems to me, becomes a kind of unnamed mother for James. The fragile bond formed between the characters will become the soul of this project and will last until the very end of the picture. All this becomes possible thanks to the antagonist Silva, who acts as the antipode of Bond. An unsuccessful experiment by M, who, being a masterful agent, left his business, betrayed the organization, and now seeks to show everyone, including Bond, how M deceives everyone around. Is she cheating? Silva sees the world in his own way. Bardem is very good in this image: extravagant, unique, eccentric and definitely memorable. He is calculating and cunning, thinks through his moves in advance, acts as a worthy rival of James Bond. That's why it is remembered. There is no usual cliché and pathos in it. This villain is well-written and designed to make the lives of Bond and M a real hell. The film undertakes to reveal the past of James Bond, allowing the audience to look into the life of the British agent. But not for long. The main thing is the plot that leads us to Skyfall, Bond's family estate, where all the significant events of this picture will take place. The project finally introduces beloved and familiar characters from previous paintings, including Manipeni and Q. New faces on the screen — the corresponding actors Naomie Harris and Ben Whishaw showed themselves perfectly, giving unforgettable and so necessary images in Bond. A great addition to the picture was the musical work of singer Adele, who gave the world the song "Skyfall". The film won an Oscar for this title track, also taking the statuette for Best Sound Editing. "Skyfall" came out well. The picture is long enough, but not in time to get bored. The narration allows you to plunge into the most interesting confrontation of rivals, delve into the inner world of Bond, see from a different angle M. The picture is good and atmospheric. This is a worthy continuation of the series and a truly iconic picture for the franchise, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2012. 9 out of 10
