Love doesn't just 'die,' my friend. That's what makes betrayal so damn hard to stomach and cope with and why it hurts more than anything else. The contradiction between love and the hate born from betrayal; the two most powerful feelings we humans can experience. But this also goes to show that Bond is a man of duty, honour, and integrity, even when he loves someone. And he always gets his revenge. Macho? or a man driven by solid values?
@@J_C_CH can you please explain to me why are people so, obsessed with her , I mean how exactly did she love Bond as people say , she did betray him after all ?
@@sumona8632 she planned to use him to get the money and free her boyfriend, who she didn't know was also using her. If Le Chiffre failed to get his money back, Bond would be used instead and then kill him after.

While she still intended to hand over the money to the villains, as she still couldn't just let her boyfriend die, she left Bond a clue leading him to Mr White on her phone. In the end, when she was trapped, she felt she didn't deserve saving for all she'd done and let herself drown. Bond tried to hate her for it in order to deal with his grief, but it was too strong, as he did love her as well. He eventually manages to move on when he learns she was just another pawn.
The Joker yeah that’s why even though Quantum wasn’t even close to the best bond film, I honestly prefer this over a lot of them due to how grounded and realistic it is, making bond more human as well
Yep, the film was okay except for the main baddie. Terribly miscast, along with his ridiculous henchmen with the Lloyd Christmas haircut??? Wtf were they thinking.
He says her name in Siena, Italy at the beginning of this film right before interrogating Mr. White. He says "I didn't think Vesper as the sentimental type"
Best scene of the whole film ! Personally, when it’s about Vesper, it’s always good ! For Bond, Vesper will always be the love of his life. That’s it, that’s all I can say ☺️
@@cockshield Which is sometimes the right course of action. The Bond at the beginning of Casino Royale would shot this guy. Here Bond has grown as a character.
I understand the ending. Vesper's betrayal was not her fault. Vesper was not aware her kidnapped boyfriend had set her up from the beginning and staged his own kidnapping and was a Quantum agent and they forced Vesper to be a double agent and give them the prize money as his fake ransom.
In the intelligence world, it's called a honeypot - using love and seduction as a means to gain leverage and control over potential assets. In the end, Vesper was fooled like everyone else, but her sacrifice frees Bond to go after Quantum, which leads to SPECTRE.
@G F After watching QOS a couple of times, I began to understand and that it wasn't Vesper's fault and she had been set up from the start by her kidnapped boyfriend and her kidnapped boyfriend was going to do the same to the Canadian Agent.
These two movies demonstrate, more profoundly than any other I've seen, that even "the one" can have flaws which make a relationship with them unsustainable. Conversely, no person, regardless of the strength of their wisdom, is immune from occasionally compromising their better judgement in favor of sticking with the one who's brought them more joy than they can remember having.
Sounds like that's spoken from personal experience and I for one can concur. In my case she was a covert narcissist - borderline personality disorder. And despite a lifetime time of experiences and my instinct telling me to let her go, I held onto her for far longer than I should have... purely and simply because of how she made me feel when her disorder wasn't getting the better of her. Because without that one flaw, she could have been the one.
What I love about Quantum of Solace : - Daniel Craig (amazing, as always) - The title song - The James Bond Girl, Camille (not so bad) - This wonderful ending
Camille I like as a Bond girl because she didn't feel like Bond's arm candy. She didn't sleep with him. She was a strong Bond girl, with her own story.
I do like how quietly this film ends Bond drops the necklace finally moving on from Vesper able to put his job above his personal feelings and finding a discreet level of comfort Hence the title of the movie This perfectly closes the arc from Casino Royale
Man, Castle is going to be shocked when he finds out that Kate is a Canadian operative named Corrine who's livelihood was saved by the great James Bond.
Life is so brief.... Nobody really "has anybody". People come and go. People live and die. That's just "Life'. That's what makes this ending so powerful. He truly loves her. And he loses her. "Anything for 'an Essy Life'"! There is no such thing! Life is never "easy" -- for ANYBODY!
I liked the whole movie, thought it stood tall, moved along quite nicely, and it was better than critics thought it was. Great Daniel Craig performance (as always). The opening scene was great, too, but you expect that in a Bond movie.
After going to the end, he realised it's not revenge he was after, it was closure, Vesper's betrayal, and him not seeing it coming really made a mark and he just couldn't accept what happened. He couldn't really blame Vesper as he wanted, when he finally go to the bugger who caused all this, he managed to let go. He also realised tokens, revenge, vandettas are not to be kept by him. Whatever he has inside, he'll carry it and no longer would allow himself to be driven by them. Too bad Craig really went reluctant with the series after this movie, and although it's very much loved, MGM kinda dumped the contept they hired Craig for with this movie, from his very start, they just jumped to his very end with three movies that were too much apart because A, Craig didn't like what the franchise is becoming, B he was too injury prone in shooting these movies and shied away and C, Craig wanted other roles and Bond was an obstacle
That look on Bond's face at 1:56 shows all the anger, betrayal, sadness and pain he carried from Vesper's death...and the restraint he had to have to have not pulled the trigger--shows the depth of Daniel Craig's acting

It was always his go-to weapon. The inclusion of the P99 from Tomorrow Never Dies through Casino Royale are more outliers than the actual rule. The PPK is Bond's weapon, no matter the actor - they've all used it.
I personally struggled with gathering any chemistry with Quantum of Solace. But the lines of dialogue in the ending are worth sitting through the entire film
I'm so delighted to see in the comments that so many Bond fans share with each other and acknowledge how powerful this scene is. The ending is so beautiful and melancholic. Regarding the ending I sometimes wonder whether M should of JUST asked if Bond "got what he was looking for" and NOT asked whether the enemy agent was still alive, leaving a little ambiguity (for thermatic purposes) as to whether Bond killed the double agent or not in revenge. I'm willing to bet many people (inc. myself) would've assumed Bond killed the agent but of course that's the point -:he doesn't kill him and he is now over it (hence the 'solace' in the title) and he is Bond again. "Casinos" last shot had me fist pumping the air and clapping in joy. "Quantum (QoS)" had me both happy and sad to the point of tears. QoS was a total turkey of a Bond film, easily in my bottom 5. HOWEVER, I do blame a lot of that on appalling editing / Bourne Identity-style action, an extremely weak villain and weak story/side characters. That said, I thought Craig was solid, gritty and as 'raw' as he always is so I can understand why some fans still enjoy QoS so fair play. In any case, again, it's beautiful ending though. Brilliant stuff.
Well if she didn't ask about him being alive, nobody would assume that bond spared his life. So letting the audience clearly know that bond spared his life was very important, as now we know that bond has grown as a character an an earlier bond would have definitely shot the man.
While it's a forgettable film overall, I must say the ending is absolutely spectacular. Craig's best acting in a Bond movie by far. You can tell there's so much hatred behind his eyes when he talks to the "boyfriend", but he's trying so hard to keep it inside. He not only wants answers he knows he can't get from a dead man, but perhaps more importantly he wants to show M that this rookie 00 can control his emotions and actually keep a valuable asset alive so that he can be further interrogated.
As a CSIS agent, she should’ve known better than to fall into the classic honeypot trap, especially with a foreign dude? Very unprofessional on her part.
@@crazyralph6386as opposed to Bond? This kind of thing happens all the time, people go to war for this type of things, that’s why it’s dangerous But people are humans with feelings no matter how trained they are, at most, it’s important to have morals for the right reasons if you’re gonna fall for someone bad
The great facts about this movie series up until SkyFall is that Bond changed a lot throughout the 1st and 2nd films. the fact that at the beginning he was an agent with a happy trigger finger and wont hesitate to have sex with any woman he meets for information. As it turns out in the 1st film, bond has been careless of his actions when he is on his missions and having innocents killed, and even with his bosses Examples: Blowing an embassy all for a cellphone Having Dominiqus wife killed Sleeping in M's apartment Not being careful with Vesper's safety Airport almost being blown Having a house fall in Venice almost killing le chiffre with a knife in public This is his actions based upon the facts that he had a sort of mixed love and mission proceeding type management of his things. It could be shown he was less able to keep up with the casino game in the 1st round because he had just killed Le Chiffres henchmen, yelled at vesper, was more focused on her then the game. However after being poisoned and nearly seeing death, having vesper save him made him slide on the more mission proceeding made him win the game with a straight flush. This in a way boosted his confidence but not by completing the mission, but for Vesper's likings. Even when being tortured, he started flaring every time Le Chiffre mentioned Vespers death. Then in the final moments when after finding out she was a double agent in fact made him still want to save her, because he was not an agent, but motivated by affection of woman even though she was an enemy to him. Acknowledging that and her death broke him and made him colder, but it also stiffened him up with being an agent, since M mentioned Vesper had the same love for him, and that she was more mature enough to give her life for his. This in turn made bond want to feel closure by finding the men who caused her death and using that made him pay more attention in the field. In Quantum of Solace Bond carries the same destructive and careless behavior but this time he is doing it for two reasons To help MI6 catch Dominic Greene To use Greene to have clues on Vesper's fate Now remember Bond had a ton of bodies throughout the 2nd film, and in turn he had that mixed with careless behavior. Killing Mitchel without being told to Killing Slate Causing a numerous chase that caused a knocked out Camille Causing a stir at a movie thing Having Fields killed in oil Escaping M's termination Now remember he is doing this unconsciously because Vesper's death made him cold towards doing missions but yet it still make him a better agent on the account of doing the mission. But in his own closure he learned with Camille that they both were chasing Greene for a reason, both to get revenge for a loved one. Even so its shown he changed cause he didn't have sex with Camille, sure it was kissing but he kept a stiff mind. Same how in the end after Madrono died he didn't kill Greene, but left him alive. Its also even shown when he finds the boyfriend here that killed Vesper, and after realizing Vesper was not the only victim to this, he showed more wide perspective in being personally affected to others. So after telling the woman to call her government the man said "make it quick" and that slight pause was surely to make the audience question bonds decision. Is he going to still use solace and love to murder the man who's responsible? Or is he going to let his growth and maturity as an agent make him do the responsible thing and not kill him? The film then ends with M questioning if the man is alive and is impressed by this even. She also mentioned Greene's death and Bond showed in demeanor he was truthful that he did not kill him. She saw him change for better. Then telling him he's needed back, he returns with a smile, "I never left" and throws Vesper's necklace. This scene is so great because it showed the final nail in the coffin that Bond officially became an agent, since now he viewed Vesper's real origin of death with a mission proceeding mindset, and not with emotion. The solace was riddled, and the throwing of necklace showed, it was just a mission.
Definitely the most understood movie in this franchise, one of the most misunderstood / underrated mainstream movies of all time; but the love this final scene draws is undeniable. Bond at its best
Bond was great, the casting of Dominique Greene and his henchmen Lloyd Christmas kind of ruined it for me, especially when his 5ft 5 120lb frame was almost getting the best of Bond near the end during their battle? 😂
What i've just realised, is that the money won in Casino Royale was meant to go to the original bf. But she instead made a deal to pay the money to Mr White to spare James' life, which would probably have meant that the guy at the end would have been killed anyway, from failing to deliver the £. A better outcome would just have been to paypal it straight through to Mr White, and be done with it and then phone NatWest fraud hotline.
Since I haven't seen either since i they were in theaters & with QoS being the mess that it is, I honestly have no memory of these movies having a followable plot. Probably need to watch again. Glad to see it finally explained what happened in these movies.
One thing I loved about this scene, which I noticed on first viewing. Was how, almost all the film was done with a handheld camera. And this scene, its almost all stationary or on a tripod.. Showing how Bond has taken back some of the control which has been taken away from him.
It’s the Canadian intelligence. The Algerian could’ve just walked in the building and politely asked for any sensitive information I’m sure they’d happily hand it over.
No not really, She was flipped by quantum at first because of her fake boyfriend, but through the course of the mission fell in love with bond, this is why she stopped wearing the necklace because it didn't mean the same thing it did then Also they outline in casino Royale that she had clearly offered mister white the money in exchange for bond and hers life, she probably hoped that they would spare her but knew at least it was the only way bond was leaving that cell It's also why her final words to bond underwater were "I love you"
@@michaeltrumph121 seemed pretty obvious that she loved bond by taking off the knot Why would she tell him, m made it clear she knew she was going to her death by returning the money, bond was able to fight his way through just barely
Crappy by 007 standards , with the writers strike . The flow of dialogue was not its best . They also allowed a huge plot hole which was Guy Haines to go unresolved. I understand why because this ending was more appropriate about getting solace for Vesper’s demise and for the bond (pardon the pun) between M and James here is solidified
The way people handle the gun is different between the old days and now, i just watch the scene from 70s bond, they handle it lazily, but now they put more effort, more muscle, and different technique, i wonder why
Clocking in at only 106 minutes (1 hour and 46 minutes), “Quantum of Solace” is the shortest James Bond movie starring Daniel Craig and his only one shorter than 2 hours.
@@DuduEspoir Nope! She was using him to get to the money so she could save the life of the other guy . After she did she was no use to Quantum anymore so they killed her.
This was one of the best endings to a Bond movie. It granted us what we wanted : Revenge and answers for Vesper's death. The movie as a whole wasn't my favourite, but this ending was flawless.
QoS works when regarded as the second part of the Vesper Lynd arc. Bond moves through hubris, humour, arrogance, despair, rage and finally to resolution and a measure of peace.
The end cinematically is reminiscent of on her majesties secret service, with the still on the woman(or signifiying object of the woman) Bond loves, and the sad and somber music playing. The way the light is reflected is even reminiscent of how it reflected in some scenes in majesties, so that is cool.
After Craig's "Casino Royale" Bond movie, I kinda like this one even though most reviewers thought it wasn't very good. I'm going to miss him as Bond. Sean Connery was the suave, sophisticated Bond, Craig put a nice bit of 'grit' and 'street sense' into the character.
He never stopped loving Vesper. Despite the betrayal and anger, he still loved her deeply.
Bond realised Vesper was the innocent victim also because of her 'boyfriend' double crossing her as an agent of Spectre.
Cool
Love doesn't just 'die,' my friend. That's what makes betrayal so damn hard to stomach and cope with and why it hurts more than anything else.

It's true.
That makes him the most foolish bond in a sense.
That subtle "thank you" was perfect.
Bond saved her life
She realised she would have betrayed her country for him and bond saved her from making that mistake.
Very Canadian.
@@egoboy You cheeky bastard I love it

That's cause he was
It's the hair, the smaller haircut in Skyfall, Spectre and No Time To Die makes Craig look much older
And also probably cuz of how there were financial issues between Quantum and Skyfall and took 4 years for the latter to be released.

I'm willing to bet many people (inc. myself) would've assumed Bond killed the agent but of course that's the point -:he doesn't kill him and he is now over it (hence the 'solace' in the title) and he is Bond again.
"Casinos" last shot had me fist pumping the air and clapping in joy. "Quantum (QoS)" had me both happy and sad to the point of tears. QoS was a total turkey of a Bond film, easily in my bottom 5. HOWEVER, I do blame a lot of that on appalling editing / Bourne Identity-style action, an extremely weak villain and weak story/side characters. That said, I thought Craig was solid, gritty and as 'raw' as he always is so I can understand why some fans still enjoy QoS so fair play. In any case, again, it's beautiful ending though. Brilliant stuff.
Well if she didn't ask about him being alive, nobody would assume that bond spared his life.
So letting the audience clearly know that bond spared his life was very important, as now we know that bond has grown as a character an an earlier bond would have definitely shot the man.
@@hkphysics On another note I hope Bond gave him a good beating, for Vesper
@@Mikes66442 Ahhhh! I'd have loved to see some direct hints to that.😅
While it's a forgettable film overall, I must say the ending is absolutely spectacular. Craig's best acting in a Bond movie by far. You can tell there's so much hatred behind his eyes when he talks to the "boyfriend", but he's trying so hard to keep it inside. He not only wants answers he knows he can't get from a dead man, but perhaps more importantly he wants to show M that this rookie 00 can control his emotions and actually keep a valuable asset alive so that he can be further interrogated.
“Please ... make it quick.”
That just isn’t going to happen, now is it?
Just put yourself in Corrine's place for a moment. Imagine having your whole world rocked like that in the span of less than 2 minutes.
As a CSIS agent, she should’ve known better than to fall into the classic honeypot trap, especially with a foreign dude? Very unprofessional on her part.
@@crazyralph6386as opposed to Bond? This kind of thing happens all the time, people go to war for this type of things, that’s why it’s dangerous
But people are humans with feelings no matter how trained they are, at most, it’s important to have morals for the right reasons if you’re gonna fall for someone bad
@@ninjanibba4259 yep, same with Bond!
Stana Katic would've been a great Bond girl.
Imagine the end of Skyfall and M left Bond the ceramic dog but she also left the necklace for him.
For its the best ending of all bond movies
One of the best final scene..
I always loved the subtle “thank you” she says as she leaves
The great facts about this movie series up until SkyFall is that Bond changed a lot throughout the 1st and 2nd films.
the fact that at the beginning he was an agent with a happy trigger finger and wont hesitate to have sex with any woman he meets for information. As it turns out in the 1st film, bond has been careless of his actions when he is on his missions and having innocents killed, and even with his bosses
Examples:
Blowing an embassy all for a cellphone
Having Dominiqus wife killed
Sleeping in M's apartment
Not being careful with Vesper's safety
Airport almost being blown
Having a house fall in Venice
almost killing le chiffre with a knife in public
This is his actions based upon the facts that he had a sort of mixed love and mission proceeding type management of his things. It could be shown he was less able to keep up with the casino game in the 1st round because he had just killed Le Chiffres henchmen, yelled at vesper, was more focused on her then the game. However after being poisoned and nearly seeing death, having vesper save him made him slide on the more mission proceeding made him win the game with a straight flush. This in a way boosted his confidence but not by completing the mission, but for Vesper's likings. Even when being tortured, he started flaring every time Le Chiffre mentioned Vespers death. Then in the final moments when after finding out she was a double agent in fact made him still want to save her, because he was not an agent, but motivated by affection of woman even though she was an enemy to him. Acknowledging that and her death broke him and made him colder, but it also stiffened him up with being an agent, since M mentioned Vesper had the same love for him, and that she was more mature enough to give her life for his. This in turn made bond want to feel closure by finding the men who caused her death and using that made him pay more attention in the field.
In Quantum of Solace Bond carries the same destructive and careless behavior but this time he is doing it for two reasons
To help MI6 catch Dominic Greene
To use Greene to have clues on Vesper's fate
Now remember Bond had a ton of bodies throughout the 2nd film, and in turn he had that mixed with careless behavior.
Killing Mitchel without being told to
Killing Slate
Causing a numerous chase that caused a knocked out Camille
Causing a stir at a movie thing
Having Fields killed in oil
Escaping M's termination
Now remember he is doing this unconsciously because Vesper's death made him cold towards doing missions but yet it still make him a better agent on the account of doing the mission. But in his own closure he learned with Camille that they both were chasing Greene for a reason, both to get revenge for a loved one. Even so its shown he changed cause he didn't have sex with Camille, sure it was kissing but he kept a stiff mind. Same how in the end after Madrono died he didn't kill Greene, but left him alive. Its also even shown when he finds the boyfriend here that killed Vesper, and after realizing Vesper was not the only victim to this, he showed more wide perspective in being personally affected to others. So after telling the woman to call her government the man said "make it quick" and that slight pause was surely to make the audience question bonds decision.
Is he going to still use solace and love to murder the man who's responsible?
Or is he going to let his growth and maturity as an agent make him do the responsible thing and not kill him?
The film then ends with M questioning if the man is alive and is impressed by this even. She also mentioned Greene's death and Bond showed in demeanor he was truthful that he did not kill him. She saw him change for better.
Then telling him he's needed back, he returns with a smile, "I never left" and throws Vesper's necklace. This scene is so great because it showed the final nail in the coffin that Bond officially became an agent, since now he viewed Vesper's real origin of death with a mission proceeding mindset, and not with emotion. The solace was riddled, and the throwing of necklace showed, it was just a mission.
Definitely the most understood movie in this franchise, one of the most misunderstood / underrated mainstream movies of all time; but the love this final scene draws is undeniable. Bond at its best
Bond was great, the casting of Dominique Greene and his henchmen Lloyd Christmas kind of ruined it for me, especially when his 5ft 5 120lb frame was almost getting the best of Bond near the end during their battle? 😂
My favourite Bons scene ever.
What i've just realised, is that the money won in Casino Royale was meant to go to the original bf. But she instead made a deal to pay the money to Mr White to spare James' life, which would probably have meant that the guy at the end would have been killed anyway, from failing to deliver the £. A better outcome would just have been to paypal it straight through to Mr White, and be done with it and then phone NatWest fraud hotline.
LOL...very practical and great advice
Since I haven't seen either since i
they were in theaters & with QoS being the mess that it is, I honestly have no memory of these movies having a followable plot. Probably need to watch again. Glad to see it finally explained what happened in these movies.
One thing I loved about this scene, which I noticed on first viewing. Was how, almost all the film was done with a handheld camera.
And this scene, its almost all stationary or on a tripod.. Showing how Bond has taken back some of the control which has been taken away from him.
The best line for me was about the motor oil in Greene’s stomach
If i had been in that room with Bond at the 32 second mark, I would have crapped my pants, there was murder in his eyes.
It took a while, but I like this movie...
It’s the Canadian intelligence. The Algerian could’ve just walked in the building and politely asked for any sensitive information I’m sure they’d happily hand it over.
0:17 この「座れ！」と言う一言はダニエル・クレイグの演じたジェームズ・ボンドで個人的に最も印象に残ったセリフ。
ボンドは自分自身の内に秘めた心情は滅多に現さない。
威圧して座らせようと言うより怒りを感じる。
この一言にヴェスパーへの思い、彼女を失った失わせた怒りと悲しみを感じる。
This ending saved this movie for me. Great closure for Casino Royale.
Vesper DIED for that man. If there’s one thing I’d add to the scene, it’s this:
*”You’re not worth the bullet.”*
No not really,
She was flipped by quantum at first because of her fake boyfriend, but through the course of the mission fell in love with bond, this is why she stopped wearing the necklace because it didn't mean the same thing it did then
Also they outline in casino Royale that she had clearly offered mister white the money in exchange for bond and hers life, she probably hoped that they would spare her but knew at least it was the only way bond was leaving that cell
It's also why her final words to bond underwater were "I love you"
@@sockmonkeyjg
So whom did she love in the end, Bond or her former Algerian boyfriend ?!
If she loved Bond, why didn't she tell him the truth ?
@@michaeltrumph121 seemed pretty obvious that she loved bond by taking off the knot
Why would she tell him, m made it clear she knew she was going to her death by returning the money, bond was able to fight his way through just barely
@@sockmonkeyjg
She could have told Bond the truth and ran off with him where nobody could find them.
@@michaeltrumph121 that would work out well, see no time to die
For a crappy movie, this was one of the best scenes of 007 with M
I don’t understand how it was crap tho. Everyone says it is but I enjoyed it
@@hellom8490 agreed , best action scenes
The movie was great
Crappy by 007 standards , with the writers strike . The flow of dialogue was not its best . They also allowed a huge plot hole which was Guy Haines to go unresolved. I understand why because this ending was more appropriate about getting solace for Vesper’s demise and for the bond (pardon the pun) between M and James here is solidified
@@salt27doggalso the constant cuts were extremely distracting
Sit down SIT DOWN!
best sit down by bond ever
Ngl that second "SIT. DOWN." hit me when I first saw it in theatre
The way people handle the gun is different between the old days and now, i just watch the scene from 70s bond, they handle it lazily, but now they put more effort, more muscle, and different technique, i wonder why
Because gun training and gun safety was different and more lax back in the 70s.
Craig is such a good modern bind. I’m gonna miss him
Clocking in at only 106 minutes (1 hour and 46 minutes), “Quantum of Solace” is the shortest James Bond movie starring Daniel Craig and his only one shorter than 2 hours.
Gona miss ya Daniel 😍
No one is mentioning the fact Vesper actually loved this guy over Bond.
We don’t choose, unfortunately.
She seemed to be torn in that she loved them both equally.
She made dangerous deals that endangered her own life to save both these men.
Wel she thought that the life of this guy was on the line
at the end of casino royale she made the deal to save Bond's life, so she did love him
@@DuduEspoir Nope! She was using him to get to the money so she could save the life of the other guy . After she did she was no use to Quantum anymore so they killed her.
The perfect bookend to the opening scene of Casino Royale.
Sit down! SIT DOWN!!!
The best scène 😍
The end of Quantum of Solace
James Bond will return in Skyfall
Great movie
Thank you
absolutely epic
Sit down
SIT DOWN
This was one of the best endings to a Bond movie. It granted us what we wanted : Revenge and answers for Vesper's death. The movie as a whole wasn't my favourite, but this ending was flawless.
QoS works when regarded as the second part of the Vesper Lynd arc. Bond moves through hubris, humour, arrogance, despair, rage and finally to resolution and a measure of peace.
CORRINE: I love you, Yusef.
BOND: This man's a lair.
CORRINE: Okay, bye.
LOL
The end cinematically is reminiscent of on her majesties secret service, with the still on the woman(or signifiying object of the woman) Bond loves, and the sad and somber music playing.
The way the light is reflected is even reminiscent of how it reflected in some scenes in majesties, so that is cool.
Quantum means very very small, minute. Its derived from 'quanta'.
So quantum of solace to the aching heart. Theme of this film.
People shat on this movie but tbh I loved it.
So did I.
Critics hated it too. I found the DVD in my local library, gave it a watch, and appreciated it a lot more the second time around.
Darker side of James Bond.
Sunil Bakshi from AoS, everybody
Ready Up April 2020
Yes,no time to die
You mean november 2020
Covid-19: I am a joke to you?
...better make that April 2021.
You mean October 2021 ?
Daniel Craig is the best James Bond movie ever. I love James Bond 007.
I cant believe that girl has the same necklace as Vesper😱😱😱
Damn right, !! Till the end
After Craig's "Casino Royale" Bond movie, I kinda like this one even though most reviewers thought it wasn't very good. I'm going to miss him as Bond. Sean Connery was the suave, sophisticated Bond, Craig put a nice bit of 'grit' and 'street sense' into the character.
I've never left. (Damn right and beyond never will!)
0:16
Ever since I saw that dude in The Mandalorian, I expect to hear him say about Bond:
“He’s one of them.” 😂
Would have made for a neat call-back if Corinne had popped up as an ally for Bond in a later film to repay what he did for her here.
Best screen of entire movie
