1905 Movie Network Special Article "Because of this role, I have had joint reconstruction in my right shoulder, I have had surgery on the knees of both legs, and I have injured my ankle. My thumb hurts too. ”

At 22:30 on October 19th, the movie channel will take you back to the final chapter of the sixth generation 007 story, "007: No Time to Die".

Returning to the main story, new and old characters gather to appear
With the iconic action of Bond shooting at the camera, the film officially begins.
Contrary to the usual 007 series of movies, James · Bond wore tuxedos and easily opened the British secret agent routine of secret missions, and Daniel · Craig's Bond fell for the plot at the beginning of the movie.
Bond, who was supposed to enjoy a romantic idyllic life with the returning "Bond girl" Madeleine (Léa · Seydoux), is once again targeted by the enemy.
Without weapons and not knowing who is behind it, he "parkours" on the streets of Italy with a disgraced face. At the same time, Bond also begins to become suspicious of Madeleine, who is the daughter of a former member of the "Phantom Party".
It wasn't until a third of the way through the plot that Bond returned to our impression of being the perfect agent.
This time, the new Agent 007 (Lashner · Lynch) and the rookie agent Paloma (Anna · De · Armas) assist Bond in completing the mission.
Palomar, played by Ana · de · Armas, makes a gorgeous appearance in a shabby bar in Cuba, which is eye-catching.
The classic background music plays again, and Bond in a suit and leather shoes shuttles through the bright lights. In an exotic setting, Bond and Paloma stage a joint fight. This familiar "007 taste" makes us think that everything is going to be back on track.
However, Bond was once again ambushed.
The story of the film develops and returns to the main line of the Secret Intelligence Agency's number one enemy, the "Ghost Party".
Safin, the most terrifying ultimate villain in the 007 series, is also about to appear. He uses human DNA to create biological weapons and uses them to destroy humanity.
Do you believe that such a seemingly harmless villain can put an end to the "longest-lived agent" 007?
007's past and present lives
Since the development of the 007 series of stories, a total of 6 Bonds have been updated, and a total of 25 main stories including "007: No Time to Die" have been filmed, plus two unrecognized stories.

The most familiar to Chinese audiences is the fifth and sixth generation 007 played by Pierce· Brosnan and Daniel · Craig respectively.

In 2002, Pierce · Brosnan officially "retired" from the intelligence center, and there were 11 candidates vying for the "position" of the next 007, including popular actors George · Clooney, Wolverine actor Hugh · Jackman, etc. Daniel · Craig stands out as the next generation 007 to succeed Brosnan. Compared with Brosnan's version, the elegant and gentlemanly Bond image, Craig's appearance is more tough and rough.
Therefore, his selection was sung down by a large number of 007 fans. Several avid fans even set up a website called "Craig is not Bond" to boycott his appearance.

After the release of "007: Casino Royale" in 2006, Craig's portrayal of Bond was well received, and everyone was "really fragrant" to this new generation of Bond.

After all, he appeared to compete with the other two super agents who threatened Bond's status as the "strongest agent", Tom Cruise in the "Mission Impossible" series · Matt · Damon in the "Mission: Impossible" series!

Before becoming Bond, Craig was only a well-known actor, having played supporting roles in commercial films or experimenting with alternative roles in obscure literary films.

When he appeared at the casting scene of the 007 movie, the attention of everyone present was attracted to him. After being elected, Craig, in order to look closer to the character, he trained himself like an Olympic athlete.

The effort he did for the role proved to be worth it. "007: Casino Royale" premiered on November 14, 2006, becoming the first "Bond" film to be released in Chinese mainland, with a global box office of $599 million, setting a new record for the James · Bond film series.
Bond's growth began, and in each subsequent film, he completed his own personal growth while completing his mission as a secret agent. What Daniel · Craig brings to the role of Bond is the deeper emotional changes and inner world beneath his omnipotent appearance.
He created a Bond with a "sense of brokenness".
The end of the sixth generation of Bond
After the new 007 made a magnificent appearance, everything around him began to gradually crumble. Not only that, Daniel · Craig outside the film also encountered a lot of difficulties.
In 007: Casino Royale, Bond is poisoned, imprisoned, and he loses his beloved woman Lind (Eva Green).

During the filming of "007: Quantum of Solace", the film encountered a "script crisis" due to a Hollywood screenwriters' strike.

In 007: Skyfall, Bond's intelligence center is in internal crisis. Bond's spiritual pillar, M, played by United Kingdom national treasure actor Judi · Dench, died unexpectedly.

In 007: The Spectre, Bond discovers that his "brother" is actually the leader of the "Spectre".

It wasn't until "007: No Time to Die" that Bond ushered in his own ending.
The production team of the 007 series of films unanimously agreed that it was the toughest one to shoot so far. The film, as the final chapter of the sixth generation 007, is under tremendous pressure. Influences from off the set and Craig's accidental injuries during filming caused the filming to be halted several times.
In the end, the team completed the shoot against all odds. The final shot of the film shows Bond running forward in a long alley, running into the distance, and finally disappearing into the end. At the end of the day, everyone present presented flowers and applause to Craig.
"007: No Time to Die" tidbits
As the film comes to an end, Bond sheds all his flashy disguises and stands on the rooftop, covered in scars, looking at the audience.
At this moment, we seem to understand why Daniel · Craig can be everyone's favorite Bond. Because he has created an ordinary person like us, with affection, love, flesh and blood. His name is "Bond, James · Bond".
The movie uses this sentence to evaluate Bond at the end: "Life is in the world, and you should live, not just live." I'm not going to waste my time just to live, I'm going to use every second of my life. ”
After Daniel · Craig left the 007 series, "Who will be the next Bond?" It has become one of the most discussed topics in the Hollywood film industry. Someone once said that even if you tied a producer of a "Bond movie" to a chair and threatened them with a laser, they would still be silent about the casting of 007.
So, who is the next James · Bond in your mind?
Before the new Bond appears, at 22:30 on October 19th, we review the magnificent curtain call of the sixth generation of James · Bond.
