Skyfall Adele Movie Scene

[Stetson Saenz]

Skyfallis the twenty-third film in the James Bond series, produced by EON Productions and distributed by MGM and Sony Pictures Entertainment through its Columbia Pictures division. It features Daniel Craig's third performance as James Bond, and Javier Bardem as Raoul Silva, the film's antagonist. The film was directed by Sam Mendes and written by John Logan, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade. As a stand-alone adventure, it doesn't directly continue the story arc of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace but does occur within the same continuity.

MI6 agents James Bond (007) and Eve assist on a mission in Turkey in which an MI6 operative has been killed and a Solid State computer drive stolen. The drive contained details of all NATO agents operating undercover in terrorist organisations worldwide. Bond and Eve chase the assailant, the French mercenary known only as Patrice, and attempt to recover the hardware. During the chase, Bond is shot in the shoulder, but continues his pursuit, until he is accidentally shot from a train by Eve, who misjudged her shot as it was meant to hit Patrice. He is posted as "missing, presumed killed".

Five of the agents' names are released onto the Internet, with the promise of more the next week and every week thereafter. The head of MI6, M, comes under political pressure to retire during a meeting with the Chairman of the Intelligence and Security Committee, Gareth Mallory. On her return from the meeting, MI6 is hacked and an explosion occurs in the offices, killing a number of MI6 employees. On hearing the news of the attack, Bond, who avoided death after being shot by Eve, returns to London. Bond is put through a number of precise and rigorous tests of his physical and mental capabilities to determine his fitness for field work. Though he fails nearly all of them, M decides to send him on the mission to find Patrice and eliminate him after interrogating him as to the purchaser of the hard drive.

The bullet fragments taken from his shoulder wound point to Patrice and Bond is sent to Shanghai, where it is known the mercenary will shortly arrive. Prior to his trip, he meets the new Q, who supplies him with only a thumbprint-sized distress transmitter and a modified Walther PPK with a palm-print function allowing only Bond to fire it.

Back in the temporary MI6 headquarters, M confronts Silva. She tells him she'll have his name removed from the memorial wall of MI6 and have him permanently imprisoned for the attack on headquarters and for releasing the names of the NATO agents. Silva tells M why he turned on her and the agency; after she'd turned him over to the Hong Kong police, he'd taken his cyanide capsule but it failed to kill him and disfigured his face.

In his workshop, Q attempts to decrypt Silva's laptop, but instead of accessing the computer successfully, the computer has been programmed to access the MI6 computer system and release Silva, enabling him to escape into the London Underground tunnel system. Pursued by Bond, Silva adopts the disguise of a policeman and attacks M during a public inquiry into her handling of the stolen hard drive. Bond arrives to join Mallory and Eve in fighting off Silva's attack, and M is hurried from the building by her aide, Bill Tanner. Bond drives M away from the scene in her car and, after exchanging it for his own Aston Martin DB5, due to agency cars carrying tracking devices, drives her to his empty and remote childhood home in Scotland, Skyfall Lodge. He instructs Q to leave an electronic trail for Silva to follow, a decision supported by Mallory.

At Skyfall, Bond and M are met by Kincade, the gamekeeper to the Bond family estate. Bond tells them that Silva will attack the place with his henchmen. The trio are only lightly armed, but improvise a series of booby traps. Kincade tells M about the deaths of James' parents and the immediate effect on him when he was young. The boy hid himself in a tunnel connecting the home with the swampy property behind it. When he finally came out two days later, James was, in Kincade's words, "a boy no more", haunted over the loss of his parents.

When Silva's men arrive, Bond, M and Kincade fight off the first assault with their improvised weapons, although M is wounded in the process. Silva himself arrives by helicopter with a second wave of thugs and Bond sends M and Kincade off through a tunnel at the back of a priest hole to a chapel on the grounds. The second assault consists of firepower from the helicopter, with Silva throwing incendiary grenades into the building. Bond detonates a stick of dynamite with two gas canisters and retreats down the same tunnel as M and Kincade. The resulting blast sends fragments of the house into the helicopter, crashing it into the house and killing a number of Silva's men. Silva sees Kincade's torch beam and follows it. As they arrive at a frozen lake, Bond attacks Silva's sole remaining follower and the two fall through the ice, where Bond kills him. In the meantime, Silva makes his way to the chapel and forces his gun into M's hand where he begs her to kill them both. Bond arrives and kills Silva with a throwing knife in his back, but M succumbs to her earlier wounds and passes away. Her position as head of MI6 is taken by Mallory, while Eve decides not to become a field agent, and reveals she will become M's secretary. She gives Bond the one thing M left to him, a ceramic Royal Doulton bulldog with the Union Jack painted on it. She then reveals to Bond that her surname is "Moneypenny." Bond then meets with the new M, who tells him there's "much work to be done" and asks if Bond is up to it. Bond smiles and replies "With pleasure, M. With pleasure."

After Quantum of Solace was released many fans theorised that the title of the next film in the franchise would take its name from one of the few remaining Ian Fleming titles that had not previously been used, namely "007 in New York", "Risico", "The Property of a Lady" or the "The Hildebrand Rarity". However, officially the film's working title remained "Bond 23".

In August 2011 several news websites posted a rumour that Bond 23 would be called "Carte Blanche" and would be an adaptation of the Jeffery Deaver novel of the same name, although EON Productions denied these claims. On the 3rd October 2011 fifteen domain names related to "jamesbondskyfall.com" and "skyfall.com" were reported to have been purchased by Sony and MGM, hinting at the intended title for the film. However, the studios declined to comment until the name Skyfall was officially confirmed in a press conference held in November 2011.

According to producer Barbara Broccoli, the title has an emotional context that will be revealed in the film, similar to Quantum of Solace. The title refers to Skyfall Lodge, Bond's ancestral home and a key location in the film. Skyfall is the first one-word Bond title since GoldenEye in 1995.

Skyfall was released on Digital HD on February 5th across all digital stores including Amazon, CinemaNow, iTunes, PlayStation, VUDU and Xbox Live. The Skyfall Blu-ray and DVD followed on February 12th in North America and February 18th in the United Kingdom with additional international markets to follow through March. There are more than three hours of in-depth special features on the Blu-ray.

Torna dopo ben 5 anni di assenza, il nuovo capitolo di 007 e la domanda sorge spontanea, ne sentivamo la necessit?

Skyfall inizia con un' adrenalinico inseguimento sui tetti di istanbul e prosegue con un combattimento corpo a corpo sui vagoni di un treno passeggeri, poi l'aiutate dell'agente 007 per sbaglio spara al protagonista e qui finiscono i colpi di scena dopo appena un quarto d'ora di film.

Dopo gli elaborati titoli di testa, con in sottofondo la splendida canzone di Adele, va in scena il solito film di james bond, con la differenza che bond beve birra, un rozzo patentato e i suoi capi sono talmente impantanati nella crisi mondiale da non riuscire a fornirgli un supporto tecnico avveneristico rispetto ai tempi che corrono.

Tornando ad un giudizio prettamente tecnico, la regia ottima per una film d'azione, non a caso Sam Mendes e Roger Deakins hanno fatto il loro lavoro, gli attori riescono a fare tutti la parte che gli viene assegnata senza nessun difetto e Javier Bardem dimostra ancora una volta il grandissimo talento che lo contraddistingue, per il film non incide, lascia freddi e a volte annoia.

La profondit psicologica dei personaggi solo un finto artifizio, per poi tornare all' azione e se non fosse per la figura di Bardem ci sarebbe stato riproposto un Quantum of solace, con una regia pi maestosa.

Io oserei dire che James Bond morto e sepolto da anni e la colpa non ricade secondo me su Daniel Craig, personaggio con un fascino maggiore di Timothy Dalton o Roger Moore, ma il problema risiede nella nuova hollywood, quella dei film sui supereroi, quella dei film catastrofici, nella quale si cerca per forza di creare spessore a dei personaggi bidimensionali, personaggi che rappresentano eroi o uomini fuori dal comune, cercando di umanizzarli senza per completare la trasformazione e lasciandola a met, cercando un film "blockbuster" ma con propositi autoriali.

Il cinema a volte finzione e in alcuni casi bisognerebbe lasciarlo tale.
