    The real James Bond is not Daniel Craig, Roger Moore, or even Sean Connery. It's the James Bond of the original Ian Fleming novels: the cold blooded, very plausible assassin with the dark rather cruel face, and black hair with the drooping strands over the eye...

    • @Ronald-wv1bz

      There is no "real" James Bond. Flemming's novels became extremely popular, made him tons of money. Sean Connery"s fictional James Bond made EON Productions a ton of money. Wonder how much Connery affected book sales. Fleming knew !!!!!

      And yet... Ian Fleming came to appreciate
      Sean Connery as JB, to the degree that he gave him a Scottish heritage in on of the later novels.
      Sean Connery on the other hand was very complimentary towards Daniel Craig. He thought Craig got the danger aspect just right.

    Fleming gave us truly the quintessential ‘spy novel’. With a deeply flawed & complicated character in Bond. I wasn’t a fan of the decision when Daniel Craig was cast, but I was quite wrong. All of the actors brought different characteristics to their portrayal, but Craig in my opinion proved to be closer to the Bond I knew of the books than the others. Especially in terms of the darkness within Bond. Brosnan & of course Connery did as well only slightly lesser so.

    • @audiobookgold6717

      Much of Bond's character is based off Fleming himself. His views on women, skiing, aquatics, Jamaica, smoking. Although Fleming was never on the battle, he took inspiration from real life spies during WWII.
      Fun fact: From Russia w/ Love the novel is based off a plan Fleming hatched during WWII to steal the Enigma Machine. A German plane was to crash in the sea with British soldiers inside, attract a U-boat, then the British were to overtake the U-boat and steal the code. This plan never made it to action. But you can certainly see the similarities w/ the novel

    I came here because after 3 days of covid bedrest I was getting tired of my other books and wanted an easy listening experience. Now I'm happy to find a very well written story, with a high level of intelligence in the observations. Except for the female Charakters. Eva Green's Vesper in the movie is so much more interesting.

      Oh man, this theme gets better in the Moonraker book. At the beginning, he's totally devoted to his role in his service to his country, having affairs with 3 married women at once and spending all his money because he doesn't see himself living past 45. But at the end, he's fallen in love with the women he faced death with and seems ready for a commitment, to really build something with her, but she was already engaged.

      They took a long time deciding before choosing Moore even though the producers were good friends with him as they didn't think he matched the character. When they did they chose to go down the more campy route because it suited his personality.
