What is really sad about this scene is that Bond knew the name of the drink he was drinking, but he refused to acknowledge the fact by making light of it. As if not telling the barman or Mathis what he named the drink would hurt him less. In Casino Royale, he had decided to call the drink a "Vesper". I like the new Bond movies, as they play the character with a bit more of a human side.
I agree. As a companion to Casino Royale it was great. If it weren't for the writer's strike at the time, the shoddy editing and cinematography it would've been understood better. The scenes with Mathis and Bond were what really shined.
easily my least favorite or the craig bonds, but i've been warming up to it more recently. when i consider it a part of the "craig arc" rather than just a standalone movie, it makes it a little more enjoyable.
This scene and Mathis’s death are what really makes me love this film. People get caught up on Quantum and the villain and the editing issues but none of this is as important as these plot points. The Bond villain in this film is not the antagonist. Bond is his own antagonist and protagonist in this story, with the goal of this film being moving on. Moving on from Vesper and from the life he almost had with her, but was ruined. This film while it does have its poor editing and does push the villain story alongside quantum, mainly is about this, about Bond becoming the person we know and for him to move on from what he was
I have mixed feelings on this movie. I think the poorly edited action scenes are a big problem for an action movie. I love Craig in this film. He's like a wounded tiger. Everything related to Bond is done pretty well, but the villains also take up a good chunk of screen time and they just aren't as compelling.
People very often just take a movie surface value and that's it. This movie, regardless of the writer strike, served as an INTEGRAL bridge between Casino and the later movies that defined the Craig era of Bond films.
Mathias asking what he was drinking was rhetorical. When he interjected with , “Kina Lillet” that was the que that he knew Bond was already drowning himself in namesake of that drink
My question for this scene has been.. did Mathis recognize that bond was looking at vesper’s picture and necklace. I would like to think yes, he was tipsy to say the least that his action to hide was slow almost like he didnt care to be seen at this point trusting Mathis again and desperately at least at this moment to connect with someone who knows Vesper and that she truly loved bond. He needed to hear that for his own quantum of solace. This scene was the scene that won my heart regardless of what others say about this film. Great scene.
I personally believe that Bond wanted Mathis to get a hint at least that it was Vesper that was on his mind, for reasons you have stated already. If that indeed was the case, then hats off to the filmmakers for that subtle indication as it humanizes Bond and helps viewers relate. How many times have we had our hearts broken and shut ourselves off from the world, but at the same time yearned to cry their heart out to somebody close to them about it?
To put this into perspective that is 675ml worth of spirits. 18 x 25ml of gin 6 x 25ml of vodka 3 x 25ml on Kina lillet That’s 675ml or 1.1 pints of pure spirits! Jesus! That is like almost drinking a whole bottle of 70CL vodka or gin for extra comparison.
“Some make you taller” I get the feeling that was an inside joke because I swear I remember people at the time complaining Craig was too short to be Bond
Glad to read positive ratings on QoS in the comments posted. Up to this moment, I'd only read bad ratings on it, such as "the worst Craig's movie as 007", but not to me. To me, QoS has been underrated too. The story is pretty realistic, that is, how governments get captured by huge private organizations, how natural resources are disputed, and connects very well the story in CR to SP, mainly to the conversations held at Spectre's midnight reunion. In addition, we see Bond struggling to deal with his feelings on Vesper, as said in the previous comments, as well as Mathis turning out to be an ally after he was considered a suspicious one in CR. Such emotional scenes added psychological depth to QoS. To me, for example, Spectre is not as good as QoS. I mean, the story in Spectre is coherent, but things seems to unfold very fast, besides we find a Bond out of his "darkest" Craig style.
Not when you’re trying to forget someone you love and they love you but can never really be together. That’s what I’m currently going through but I don’t drink or take pills. Just long walks by myself to think.

Absolutely. He first got the drink at the poker table
I thought he didn't say what he was drinking because he was drunk?
@@ArchitechtofAnarchy Number one rule about being James Bond is to never limit yourself to alcohol, but also to never get drunk
Mathis knew what he was drinking hence the “eye” language
Thank yoy Guy, I have watched every james bond since pierce brosnan more or less 6 times, and I never understood this.
That barman *nailed* his lines. Excellent delivery 👌
Such an underrated movie, in my opinion.

@@muddershmucker7374 This scene especially. It and the ending are the best scenes in the whole movie.
Yes much better than Spectre!

Love this film and love this scene. Totally in love with Giancarlo Giannini as Rene Mathis.

Really Heart Touching Performance ....
I love this scene as the first time ever we saw 007 drunk. QoS wasn't that bad in my opinion
True, although he did look mildly ploughed when Paris Carver showed up that time.
It was the editing that was the problem
@@GrosvnerMcaffrey Yes we know
@@harrypell2603 you can never stress it enough it could have been on par with casino royale it's a shame how it ended up
the vesper theme hits me in the soul with the weight of a trillion supermassive blackholes.
RIP Vesper.❤
My favorite scene specially back ground music.
Hi Mr Wayne fancy see you here 👍😅
Love is a tragedy
Asks the barman what he’s drinking, knowing full well what he is drinking, but he doesn’t want to say the name.
To put this into perspective that is 675ml worth of spirits.
18 x 25ml of gin
6 x 25ml of vodka
3 x 25ml on Kina lillet
That’s 675ml or 1.1 pints of pure spirits! Jesus!
That is like almost drinking a whole bottle of 70CL vodka or gin for extra comparison.
The man with the golden liver
A stalion drunk and in love
It's tough when the woman you loved never loved you and always loved another man.. A woman that just used you...
Robert Padua i know that feeling.
She genuinely loved Bond that’s why she killed herself
She did love Bond toward the end, but of course, and a lot of men have been there, her love and history with the other guy overtook everything..
@@Soulsilvergirl101 Oh so a woman can love twice, and thrice.. so Great Gatsbyish I see
100%
Some make you forget... *cue Vesper theme* 😖
I wish it could.
Goodbye my old friend.
Love this scene
“Some make you taller” I get the feeling that was an inside joke because I swear I remember people at the time complaining Craig was too short to be Bond
Maybe but I took it as a Viagra joke about making you taller down there

That drink actually sounds good lol
Jesus Christ he had 6 of them. That’s 18 measures of gin, 6 measures of vodka and 3 measures of the other thing.
Is that enough to kill a human being?
The other thing is Kina Lillet!
And you have to multiply that times two, as alcohol affects the body differently at that height.
I can relate
Movie name
Sleeping Pills and Alcohol not a good mix sir!
