I can help add a little more context with what's going on with the cards in the hand to go with the body language. Let's start with the flop which is the first three community cards placed in the middle. The first "red" flag we see is the flop is all hearts. The odds of flopping a flush if a player is holding two cards of the same suit is 118 to 1, or less than 1%. LeChiffe is a mathematical, statistician player so he knows those odds. His pair of 2's won't hold up to take the pot so he bets here hoping to represent that he does have a flush. This is where his duress starts and the tell appears. Bond calls his bet. If LeChiffe represents the mathematical player, then Bond represents the people player. LeChiffe plays the cards, Bond plays the player. Bond has deduced that LeChiffe's bet is weak. We never see Bond's hand, put I suspect he's either made a pair with the flop or has the Ace of hearts drawing for the best possible flush (in poker terms, the nuts).
The fourth card is another 9. This pairs the board which makes a full house now possible which beats a flush. LeChiffe bets again now with two pair, but now Bond is distracted by Vespa. This is critical key moment in this hand. LeChiffe doesn't want to check here as to do so would be losing the initiative and practically yielding the pot to Bond. His bet however is offhandedly called by James 'distracted by the sexy' Bond.
The fifth card is the 2 of hearts. This gives LeChiffe the full house. Indeed, both players have now relaxed their posture (you said James, but did you mean LeChiffe?). I now have to put Bond on the nut flush and so does LeChiffe. Somewhat agreeing with your analysis about Bond's forced smile after the hand is over that further points to Bond having the flush. I also read into that smile as Bond's way of saying "Yeah, you won that hand, but I've got your number now."
There is a chance that Bond has absolutely nothing and is only calling LeChiffe's bets to either find out if he's right about the tell (he is) and to antagonize LeChiffe, but I doubt he'd be that reckless. Then again, this IS Bond we're talking about here.
Except later on in the movie, Le Chiffre uses the exact same body language to trick Bond into thinking that he is bluffing again when he actually has a killer hand.
If you like Poker, there is an excellent german fan film called "Orden des Penners" with a really epic Poker scene kind of similar to this one.
@@Klaital1 Ah, yes. I am waiting to see if enigma covers that hand. The last hand is just ridiculous where everyone hits a monster hand and Bond just happens to have the best of it.
Thanks I would also like to see a review Rounders.
@@Klaital1 Exactly, but the blood weeping from his eye is the one he can't hide
James has a 6th martini this is indicative of a desire to get absolutely trashed
These videos are half entertainment and half educational for me.
Now I find my ass walking around town reading everyone's body language to see what's up.
Haha that's brilliant!
same here, but in school
Likewise.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅🤣😅😅😅🤣
gahaggahahahahhaha
James Bond sits down and breathes a sigh of relief. This is a pacifying behavior that he's obviously making because that last hand nearly killed him.
I see what you did there. Funny.
I just realized that the reason Le Chiffre put his finger to his temple was because the vein that runs through his temple and under his eye was bulging. This was caused by his injury, so when blood starts to pump more, either from excitement or frustration, the vein becomes more noticeable, and he has to press his finger on the temple to keep it from giving him away.
As you can see enigma has his hands together on the prop table, which is a self soothing action he also looks directly at the stressor, the camera, meaning he is focused and this can be seen by him leaning toward the stressor. Enigma is nervous but confident in his skills and analysis. Great acting on his part
Haha, yeah are so right...
Hey Enigma, you have been called out.
Mads Mikellsen is just an excellent excellent actor.
Absolutely!
Yeah. He is also very good in Hannibal series
@@profiyntroz5186 i can also recommend „Jagten“, might be his best performance.
He became the new picture of Hannibal Lecter I have in my mind's eye. Not easy when you're competing with Anthony Hopkins. Too bad they canceled it; too good for TV I guess
One of my top all-time-faves 👌
Arctic and Polar are exceptional
It's really interesting how much the body can tell about the people
Yeah its super cool!
@@enigmabodylanguage videos like these are helpful for me. Thank you! It helps me not be awkward.
You’ve become one of my favourite channels to watch love your content.
Thank you!
The little smile james gave before ordering the drink was because he discovered lacheffe's tell, not because he was pissed off.
I was hoping you'd mention how Le Chiffre manipulates James later on by repeating his tell while receiving a good hand.
Nice video nonetheless. I love Casino Royale and this is one of my favourite sequences. I'd love to see you cover more Bond in the future.
Gotta love the regular uploads!
Thank you!
I thought the twitch was in fact a mind game as le chiffre uses it again later in the film to trick james?
Only after he is told that Bond figured it out as a genuine tell the first time. He manipulates it later.
I came to this channel to enjoy myself, I left this channel with knowledge.
Glad to hear it :D
You you look at the poker game as a whole you will see that later in the film [Spoiler] Le Chiffre uses the eye twitch to deceive bond.
The eye twitch is therfore a "tell" but also a form of manipulation because Le Chiffre can control it whenever he wants.
I love Mads Mikkelson. He's an awesome actor! One of the best things about Casino Royale.
He only used it against bond because Mathis told LeChiffre about Bond figuring it out.
@@Samanosuke1138
According to Google it was Vesper who betrayed Bond. 🤔
@@iagolives2007 right but only AFTER they got captured. Mathis was compromised beforehand.
@@iagolives2007 Only after the crash. Mathis betrayed Bond at the table. Le Chiffre even makes it a point to say “Your friend Mathis is really my friend Mathis”
@@Samanosuke1138
Disagree, but if that's what you believe that's fine.
But it was Vesper who betrayed Bond. Not Mathis. She knew about the "tell", because Mathis explained it to her whilst watching the poker game. She was an unwilling double agent, she didn't want anyone to get hurt, but her mission was to make sure Bond lost the game. That's why she did her best to distract him at the table and refused to bank roll him after he lost.
Le Chiffre using her to cause the crash is all about him using what he knows to be Bond's weakness, his blind-spot, against him. It was all manipulation. He placed her in danger and used the idea of threatening her in interrogation scene because he thought he could manipulate the code out of Bond. Plus she had failed in her mission and was next to useless to him at that point.
And as for Mathis, it's even confirmed in the next film he was innocent and was compensated by MI6 with the villa where he is now retired. The whole reason they agree to work together again is because Bond knows he is the last person he can trust.
But I guess that's my interpretation.
In short, I think Le Chiffre is a great villain as he uses manipulation to get what he wants. Just like a great poker player, he doesn't play the cards, he plays the person across the table from him. He used every trick in the book to try and beat Bond but in the end he is killed because he could not break him.
Even did James Bond. Definitely subbing
Thank you!
I just saw this movie a few days ago for like the hundredth time 😂 I’m so glad you did this scene, awesome vid and please do more James Bond!
I like how in the next game LeChifre fakes the twitch to make Bond think he has a bad hand and goes all in. This cases Bond, who's arrogant, to lose all his money
They are very good actors - to play all these emotions like that
My favourite Bond film
These videos have me more mindful of my own body language, making me a bit more self analytical. Thank you for the fantastic content!
Ive been waiting for this😍
I'm glad! Hope you enjoyed!

Thank you :D
I saw this when I was a kid. I thought mads character had a surgical implant in his blind eye allowing him to have X-ray vision lol. I thought every time he places his fingers to the side he was activating X-ray vision. I was super disappointed when I went through whole movie to find out it was just a dude with a blind eye
Awesome acting, awesome video :)
Anyone else notice that enigma is sitting with his hands folded and leaning forward in his chair?
Your chess board is 90 degrees off.
A1 is a black square and the queens always start on a square of their own color.
Love the videos dude! I haven't been watching them lately because you cover movies I've not yet seen. Haha!
Thank you! I will change the position XD
The board being turned is a sign he is toying with you. He is not threatened by your comment.
@@ElRuinero lol
I have to write it again. Your content is very impressive!
Glad you enjoy it!
Couldn’t fidgeting indicate boredom as well, rather than nervousness.
I was waiting for this upload. Awesome scene
I've now watched about 27 of your impressive videos, so I think it's safe to say I'm now an expert body language reader. To assert my confidence, I like to slouch down with my knees buckled and my hands covering my face.
1. Sitting poses. Different bodies are comfortable in different positions, so some might find support in folding their arms on a table etc.2. Fidgeting with “coins” or chips is a sign of intimidation towards those who are not poker pros: “look i can fold them and divide them with one hand”.
Can you please react to the rest of this scene? Love your content dude!!!
I like these a lot, they're very intriguing. Keep it up!
Just seen your John Wick vids and subscribed instantly. Time to binge your whole channel haha.
Could you do the scene with al Pacino and Robert De Niro in heat where they sit down and have a cut of coffee. Basically it’s cop and bad guy having a human moment before they go back to chasing each other
this has to be one of my favourite bond scenes
i certainly enjoyed the analysis
Great video!! Keep up the good content 😁
Thank you! Will do!
All of the videos I've watched I loved, it's fun learning about the way our body reacts to stressful situations
2:20 Some of those people displaying open body language are relaxed because they're not in the hand.
Hey, great analysis as always. I would like to throw an idea and ask you to analyze starwars.
Christopher Lee was a great actor and deserves a scene. And of course Hayden Christensen basically carried the prequels, his acting was spot on and he didn't deserve the backlash.
Thanks in advance. 😁
When the card dsler said the card number don't put the card down. His eyes trwing is a sine of him larying.
As an autistic person, one of my first body language lessons was how to read "tells" in poker. Leaning forward meant bluffing and a bad hand. Leaning back meant relaxation and a winning hand. My second, as a cartoonist, was superhero and supervillain character designs in comics. the former tend to face the reader, smile a lot, and have open stances, often with arms akimbo. Their costumes tend to be red, yellow, and blue. Supervillains tend to frown and scowl often, stand or sit sideways, facing away from the audience, hand-wringing, or rubbing and have predatory, sneaky body language, such as claw-like hand movements, walking on tip-toe, etc. They tend to wear black, red, blue, green, and purple costumes, especially spiky black armor and black and red opera capes with high collars or hoods. Skulls are a common chest symbol or mask. My third, as a martial artist, was both how to spot and avoid "telegraphing," a common boxing error, which gives away one's next move. Pulling back a fist or foot means one is about to strike with that limb. Leaning forward with arms wide open means a potential grappling attack.
Very well done videos you have provided for anyone is interested in this field. I would like to ask you if handwriting is similar to body language.
Amazing vid man, you are super underrated!
Love your content brother
You should look at the last of us 1 cutscenes with Joel.
Poker be a great place for body language analysis eh
This would be the main reason why I would take up reading people is to hustle people out their money!
Great video as always.
Would love to see you do Mads Mickelsen in Hannibal. Such good subtleties in acting there.
You should do a body language read on unhinged on Amazon prime it’s insane
The most shocking part of this video was when I found out Enigma doesn't play poker.
Love that youre doing James Bond scenes. Could you do some Game of Thrones as well please? I bet thats really interesting to analyze too.
Great Actors, they know how to use Body language.
I swear if you try to play poker with enigma you would have no chance
make more of james bond piliz
Oh This is a very, very good scene
You should totally do me myself and Irene when he first switches to the new personality
the second poker scene of the movie should be on youtube somewhere
This was a great body language review. Any chance you will do one of Rounders? It is considered the greatest gambling movie of all time, every poker player has seen it.
Could you please do an analysis video on the film "No Country For Old Men" specifically the coin toss scene?
Oh wow I asked for a poker vid and here it is. Please check out the poker movie rounders!!
Always thought the eye twitch was more because of the scar he has… knew a woman with a glass eye who also occasionally had a eye twitch going on that eye.
Jeez, the movie looks so old now. I remember when it was the hawt newness from Holywood.
Do the scene at the end of this movie after the girl dies
I will add it to the list!
When Bond talking to M or Mr. White?
Thats dragonov from tekken😅😅
Do a Line Of Duty interview scene
When you said "everyone else at the table has their hands folded" I thought you meant that they folded the hand of cards they were dealt. DUAL MEANINGS
If you need more content, the walking dead season two was mostly talking anyway so you got a lot of content there like Shane lying at a funeral about what really happened or the groups debate to kill a kid or not
I bet you crush it at a poker game... wait you don't play? Time to start
:D Good idea
Direct eye contact doesn't always mean a form of confrontation...to be honest mostly it's a sign of respect. Unless you giving someone the stink eye than that's different 🙄
Yeah of course but it's all in the context
Nice what books can i read to learn
Do you play poker? Your ability to read body language so well would surely make you an excellent player.
I have never played it. Maybe I should XD
Save your money bro lol
hey you gotta do the “surviving prettyboyfredo” drama going on, people aren’t sure if he’s lying or not
Did you really skip the biggest factor of DOMINANCE when ‘his (beautiful) woman’ comes up and kisses him in front of all the men? The look on Le Chiffre’s face says it all.
Is body language usually intentional? Or do actors just do it out of habit bc of the "tension"?
I have a suggestion: Could you react to "I am the danger" scene from Breaking Bad? I'm interested to see your reaction and your videos are amazing.
Hey @enigma, i wish to learn about body language, can you tell me what is the name of the course. Thankyou🙏👍
ACTUALLY, the whole eye twitch WAS an act!
SPOILER ALAERT
This is just part one.
Le Chiffre (or what ever his name was) was faking the twitch and made Damn sure Bond saw it.
Bond got his clock cleaned and needed bailing out!
good poker players are very good at mind games and body language ''reads'' be careful if you ever sit down at a poker table.
You might be interested to review some of the episode of to catch a predator XD
💪💪💪💪💪 You are epic
Thank you! :D
Of course the Asian character would be named Mr fukutu 🤣😂
Le Chiffre's tells are real, but he does use them later to manipulate Bond
Also can't he see people's cards with something in his eye if I do recall correctly
Bro you must be amazing at poker!
I should give it a go!
You should definitely react to Netflix Daredevil
Doesn’t he use those tells to try and win and then LeChifre (sp) cleans him out before he gets poisoned, comes back and beat him?
I don't think he analyzed the entire scene. I remember the villain's tells were in fact fake, and Bond had to take a break or something to regroup. Haven't seen the movie in a while, but that's the gist.
I literally just watched this again. Madds is faking it he wiped james out and even says “you must have thought I was bluffing” to him... I wish he did the whole scene james gets so mad he even tried to kill him until he’s stopped by the cia agent played by Jeffrey Wright who is seen at the table with his hands open showing he’s probably not scared and confident because he’s used to that stress as an agent. He gives james the money to buy back in and eventually James gets the upper hand but madds was playing him the whole time in the beginning and is winning the game until james can buy back in. It’s a real shame madds wasn’t as big as he was when this came out cuz it would be awesome to see him do more in another villain role but he was amazing in this as well!
So have you seen Madds in Hannibal? You won't be disappointed. Gillian Andersen is excellent in this -- as she is with Jamie Dornan in The Fall. Another must see......perhaps Enigma, you could do the interrogation scene from The Fall in the final episode. Soooo Sublte but telling!!!
I’ve seen Hannibal and it’s pretty much my fave show that’s how I’ve learned to love mads. They canceled that too soon real shame.. I haven’t watched the fall but my fiancé really liked it.
First!
Comment. Wo betide UA-cam. Long live creators
More,More,Moreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Don't play cards with Enigma guy!
🤣
Could you react to Hannibal Lecter?
Hey react to Sherlock holmes chess scene
