He was so much more intimidating as Anton. They could have TOTALLY made a movie about Anton’s backstory- It would have been great... or horrible. It’s a toss-up. 🪙
Bonds like "I've made love to many women, in the mud and the rain, and it's possible a man may have slipped in there. I have literally no way of knowing."
Lesson here: Don't show the villain early in the movie, wait until it makes sense to have a great introduction scene, give him a nice monologue and allow the actor to shine for a few minutes. Stablish the character and allow him to have charisma. Skyfall is remembered because of this scene.
I think Blofeld introduction in Spectre was almost going as cool as this scene...until he said "Cuckoo!". Stupid line, destroyed the image of a terrifying Blofeld
The Daniel Craig Bond movies may not be perfect, but the fact that they got Mads Mikkelsen, Javier Bardem, and Christoph Waltz to appear in the series is an achievement in and of itself.
I'm guessing this is called "Skyfall Funny Silva Scene" because most people focus on the homoerotic moment, but it undervalues the brilliant work here. This masterful scene shows Silva trying several different approaches to get Bond to crack. Silva's first approach is his story about survival, and how he and James are the rats on the island. Then he describes M as their mother, who has betrayed them both, so he is equating himself as James' brother. Didn't work, so then he went for the homoerotic approach to shake James up. James deflected that by suggesting that he's open to or prepared for it. Silva then frees James' hands and tries to appeal to his need for freedom, offering to make him a partner who can pick his own secret missions. James belittles that by equating it to a hobby, because there'd be no loyalty to country. This entire scene is a wonderful little chess game. The way it's shot is also impressive, with Silva entering on the elevator and walking toward James in one long take while delivering the rats monologue.
It’s actually a rather elementary shot. Or an amateur “chess game”. James Bond movies have to appeal to the masses or they lose potentially hundreds of millions of dollars. This is not that deep of a scene.. it’s all rather surface-level.
***** It's because Silva is essentially a dark mirror of Bond. He possesses similar skills and tactics, has a similar past, and was also screwed by M - the difference is, Bond forgave his adopted "mother" and remains loyal to her, while Silva is rogue and attempting to kill her.
DisgruntledViewer nope its because James was loyal to his country first, M second. Silva on the other hand had no loyalty to his country only to M so her betrayal affected him much more then when she betrayed James thus the reason why Silva wanted to kill her and himself so badly
Man it's so creepy how creepy Silva can seem just by walking towards the camera. He gets bigger and bigger in the frame, all the while telling his story until you suddenly realise how close he his. Super disconcerting, and really engaging.
I love how Silva tries to make Bond uncomfortable by touching him and making erotic suggestions. While the audience feels the discomfort, Bond is the epitome of cool. You *cannot* throw this guy off. "What makes you think this is my first time?" Bond is so comfortable in his sexuality, that threatening it doesn't faze him. Notice how, as soon as Silva sees Bond isn't deterred, he switches tactics. Which is why this scene is such a great power play.
+StoriesThatNeverWere This whole sequence is the best in the film, as you can see such a battle of mind games going on between Bond and Silva. First Silva belittles Bond by pointing out his failed evaluation tests, trying to make him feel like an inferior agent. Then he tries to dominate Bond's sexuality, by touching him and making him uncomfortable. Then he attacks Bond's loyalty to his country, by saying how old fashioned MI6 is and that the British empire is just a "ruin", tempting him to become a free agent like he is. After this he literally attacks one of Bond's lovers in a sick shooting game, and just kills her like she was nothing as a kind of mockery of Bond's history with women. Silva attacks every facet of Bond, trying to break him and undo his image. The more I watch it, the more I realize how brilliant of a Bond villain Silva is.
+Crichjo32 Especially at the end of the scene when he took out all of his henchmen even keeping his cool, only feeling bad for wasting the scotch. Then MI6 comes in with helicopters and Bond says "The latest from Q Branch, called a radio." taunting Silva that he was beaten by an old fashion gadget. Genius.
+StoriesThatNeverWere I totally agree. I had some friends who actually believed "they made James Bond gay"....they totally missed the point of the scene. It has very little to do with sexuality, and everything to do with....poker. It is all about control, manipulation, attack and counter-attack. I was amazed by this scene. So extraordinary. As intense as any balls to the walls fight scene...but all done with great subtlety.
by far the best villain from any Bond film because as a watcher, you really felt sympathy for Silva and kinda understood where he was coming from. Plus Javier Bardem was incredible in the role
The subtle pause he gives after mentioning childhood trauma, Silva unexpectedly finds common ground with Bond. The look and pause Silva gives indicates his own internal reflection of his own childhood trauma(s).
I can't imagine the timing involved with telling that speech while walking down the hall. He gets to the end right at the climax of the story without breaking stride or changing his pace once. Unreal.
Well you can either do that, or since the camera is far away you can just prerecord an audio file and play it over an actor talking gibberish in the distance (the lip sync wouldn't be noticeable), record the audio file time and train the actor to just walk the distance at the required time without worrying for the first half of the story.
That’s what I love about this scene no matter how bad silva is he absolutely right about everything M used both of them as rats so in a poetic sense the story silva told is symbolic of the three characters the grandmother is M and the two last rats are silva and bond
When I saw this scene in the theater, you could just FEEL how Bardem's presence just enraptured the entire audience. We hung onto every one of his subtle bits of humor and his amazing psychotic episodes. This man is such a pleasure to watch.
Those who whisper their malice know the tactical reach of their toolkit, and are nearly always to be taken more seriously than those who do not, and disguise such by yelling it.
3:18 'Pathological rejection of authority based on unresolved childhood trauma..' I love how Silva does not say anything about that. Shows he has respect for 007 even if they are foes. Bardem was brilliant in this role.
You can tell by Silvas body language and eye's that he is showing respect to Bond for that one and also feeling something terribly deep inside him lurks ready to explode from that exact reason.
I loved this line too because Silva probably has a similar background in that sense. Silva still read it and looked at Bond but yes, chose not to address it. Didn't even poke fun at him about it. Took the moment to share silence with Bond while they both understand what that meant (Bond has intense childhood trauma) and Silva moves on. Such a GREAT touch and unique character choice.
Javier Bardem deserved an Oscar for his flawlessly evil performance. A masterpiece performance. This is an actor who is greatly underrated and deserves wider attention.
+hellojustanecho How is Javier Bardem underrated ? He was nominated 3 times for an Oscar, won for one of the greatest performances of all time, won awards from Golden Globes to the Cannes film festival award for best actor, was given the role of Silva and is one of the reasons why Skyfall was the highest grossing Bond film of all time and now he is in Pirates of the Caribbean. He is in the A-list of Hollywood leading men.
+Rascal Of Joy - I stand corrected. Thank you for pointing out the many acknowledgements and achievements Javier Bardem has received thus far. He is an outstandingly good actor and I was ignorant of the scope of his recognition to date. I look forward to more brilliant performances from this amazing actor. Thanks again!
You know the weird part ? In some alternate timeline, I can easily see Silva and Bond being colleagues, even friends, and that's not something you can say about any other bond villain (except Goldeneye ofc). Also, like every good villain, it makes you pissed off at M, at how proud she is as a character to leave someone she is responsible for and not give a damn.
I think it would be more rivalry at least on Silva's side. Silva would hide it behind superficial charm but I think secretly he would become insanely jealous of M liking Bond so much. Silva lived for M's approval.
" Everyone needs a hobby." " What's yours ?" " Resurrection." Mind blowing. Craig always tops my list of favourite Bonds. His nonchalance gives him an extra edge
Funny how the moment Bond calls Silva's seduction bluff, Silva stops trying to seduce him. Everything he's doing in this scene is an attack on Bond to try and find a weak spot in his defences.
Yep, I also believe it could be a call back to Silva's own interrogation when he had been captured. He observed and remembered all of the techniques which had undoubtedly been used on HIM when he was strapped to a chair. I mean yeah, he most likely bit down on the cyanide right away, but chances are after that, he probably added far more methods to his current skill set.
Alec Trelvelyan said similar to Bond over how he was always better. MI6 agents and their egos and their pissing contests. Even after turning villainous and directly fighting against MI6, still that competitive edge against James Bond who is widely regarded as the best M16 agent and the go to guy M turns to when shit gets real. I would wager that there is some jealousy from both Silva and Trelvelyan, from Silva because Bond is M's current golden boy and from Trelvelyan, Bond being number 1 as shown by Trelvelyan scornfully attacking Bond as "her Majesty's loyal terrier" implying that he can always be banked on to deliver for his superiors.
I'll always be impressed with what Javier Bardem did for more than a minute and a half (0:23 - 2:00)--not just give that speech, but how he delivered it and the pace at which he did so, and how he enraptured the audience. It is a reminder of how the truly powerful have no need to shout. I have no idea how many takes there were before he nailed it, but boy, he _nailed_ it.
5:24 *''Your knees must be killing you.''* A simple, but relevant sentence. Silva hinted that Bond was already tiring of his life as an MI6 agent, and trying to lie to himself that he wasn't "cheated". Good movie, great performance by Craig and Bardem.
This is actually a brilliant throwback to the old Bond movies with the helpless Bond; the scary villain with the cool monologue and the campy undertones. Skyfall was Craig's Goldfinger, and it will be hard to beat.
***** It has some of the elements of Nolan's Dark Knight and it was admittedly inspired by it, but that's not a bad thing, and it still managed to put in plenty of Bond like elements to keep old and new fans happy. Guess you can't please everyone.
George Hamilton it's a famous Picasso quote. You can also use 'there is nothing new under the sun'. Everyone copies and some try to improve on the copy. It's how life works.
2012 was the year of super villains getting themselves captured on purpose. 4 years after Dark Knight, exactly a complete production cycle. It checks out.
I'm no film student, but even I can see what an amazing scene this is. Imagine the skill, control, coordination and practice it must have taken to put together that opening shot -- a single long take that slowly moves in and up until you "see" from Bond's POV, all while Javier Bardem delivers that monologue so perfectly while walking at exactly the right speed to end up right in front of the camera as his story reaches its ghastly ending.
I am in love with this scene... The actors are phenomenal, the timing of Silva's reactions or motions are right on time, they are both gentlemen, the power play is phenomenal, so casual, but kinky and smart with small signs. This scene alone deserves an award. I love Silva's character altogether.
5:20 I like that the guard noticeable flinches when Bond is free'd and he flaps his arms out. He thought he was going to pull something. Clever attention to detail.
I believe that Silva's analogy on rats is about agents of M16, Silva was one of the two surviving rats and he longer hunted terrorists(coconuts) instead he now kills other agents of M16; e.g. Bond.
I remember feeling such tension and dread in the cinema when he told this story. Worst sentence is the last: "But now they don't eat coconut anymore. Now they only eat rat".
From time to time, I come back to watch this video because of how amazing it was. I always say how he was one of my favorite villains (I can see why he did what he did) He was so calm and I loved his story. Skyfall itself was a great movie!
Now here you see 2 really good actors at work. Javier Bardem is brilliant as the highly intelligent yet psychopathic ex-spy. Daniel Craig is an amazingly cool & smart Bond who holds his ground facing the villain. The script is excellent, but it is the actors who bring it to life. Now imagine the same scene with Stallone vs. Schwarzenegger, or Steven Seagal vs. van Damme: it would be totally laughable ;)
Silva's face when Bond says "Everybody need a hobby" - oh! the humiliation! Silva's pride and achievement of life just drained by Bond in one sentence.
Imagine saying that to gamers haha. But along with so many others. My first thought was with pornography lol. My pride fell in one line from a fictional character haha. Just a joke but it was funny reading your comment.
It would have been funny if Silva started talking to bond from the elevator and Bond was like " Wait what, I can't hear you" and Silva goes on talking while Bond is like "could you come here and talk, you're like a mile away from me"
What I love about this scene is how patient the camera was. There were no cuts to different angles, they allowed him to slowly come over for his introduction. That’s brilliant.
When I first saw this in theaters, I was so impressed by how the camera slowly veered over Bond's shoulder. It's moving along with the pace of Silva's stride. This is one of the best introductions for a villian, ever. Perfectly done! I love this scene. 😍
Pro Gaming “Who’da thunk it” is a catchphrase from a 1930s radio show that has entered American slang lexicon. www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/24/messages/1187.html
4:58 when the villain squeezes above Bond's knees, Daniel's reaction was genuine because that is a ticklish pressure point. I use it on people at judo all the time
One subtle moment, in fact it is so subtle that one can easily miss it, is when Silva says "You can pick your own mission," Bond perks up ever so slightly. For a split second Bond was tempted.
What makes you think this is my first time? That line just gets me every time. I mean when you think of James Bond, you never know maybe there was a drunken moment lol
In spain we also say " oof" but its spelled " uf" and its said with a deeper "oo" than on english, just like he said it, so when i heard silva i could notice spain coming out of him at that point
Yes! Spectre missed the mark somewhat, it almost felt abit like a parody of classic 60s James Bond movies. We all thought Christoph Waltz would absolutely nail it and play somekind of intriguing Bond Villain but he kinda fell flat, his Blofeld just felt very cliche. Still a decent Bond movie but not as good as Skyfall.
If you *really* wanna go deep on IT Ops reality, there's not nearly enough visible cooling systems in this shot to handle that massive amount of servers/boxes/switches. Silva's room as shown would be about 180 degrees without massive banks of visible HVAC. It is wicked-cool, though. 😉
Silva is basically like 006 alec trevelyan from goldeneye who also worked mi6 and betrayed them when he told James Bond his loyalty was for the mission after left them almost dying after he survive
The best character study of a Bond villain I've seen as of late. Over the course of a film, you start to see what kinds of personality traits, upbringing, and past incidences would come together to create the type of hammy, egotistical madman that Bond regularly goes up against.

That is the ratio.. 99.9% of the human population is a failure.
obviously, we have eyes
The dialogue delivery in the island rat story was a class act
Sea of Dreams but not everyone acts as so
It’s actually a rather elementary shot. Or an amateur “chess game”. James Bond movies have to appeal to the masses or they lose potentially hundreds of millions of dollars. This is not that deep of a scene.. it’s all rather surface-level.
Fun fact: Raoul Silva is basically an evil Bond. His name is an anagram, "A Rival Soul".
that is awesome!
***** it doesnt sound like a stretch to me
***** Wow do you even know what Rival Soul means?

I'll always be impressed with what Javier Bardem did for more than a minute and a half (0:23 - 2:00)--not just give that speech, but how he delivered it and the pace at which he did so, and how he enraptured the audience. It is a reminder of how the truly powerful have no need to shout. I have no idea how many takes there were before he nailed it, but boy, he _nailed_ it.
5:24 *''Your knees must be killing you.''* A simple, but relevant sentence. Silva hinted that Bond was already tiring of his life as an MI6 agent, and trying to lie to himself that he wasn't "cheated". Good movie, great performance by Craig and Bardem.
This is actually a brilliant throwback to the old Bond movies with the helpless Bond; the scary villain with the cool monologue and the campy undertones. Skyfall was Craig's Goldfinger, and it will be hard to beat.
***** It has some of the elements of Nolan's Dark Knight and it was admittedly inspired by it, but that's not a bad thing, and it still managed to put in plenty of Bond like elements to keep old and new fans happy. Guess you can't please everyone.
***** Good Artists Copy; Great Artists Steal
SerialQiller No, great artists can create something unique by their own thought.
George Hamilton it's a famous Picasso quote. You can also use 'there is nothing new under the sun'. Everyone copies and some try to improve on the copy. It's how life works.
2012 was the year of super villains getting themselves captured on purpose. 4 years after Dark Knight, exactly a complete production cycle. It checks out.
God this is such a gorgeously shot movie.
It's directed from the guy who directed American Beauty, so you can see why.
Roger Deakins being godly as per
@@Onmysheet and 1917.
They should never have killed of Silva. He's bonds true nemesis
5:21 when his hands was released the guard got scared, "that's a detail"
"Your knees must be killing you" reference to the fact that in reality craig had issues with his knees during filming
Really? I thought it was homoerotic innuendo just like everything else in this scene.
Not really, James Bond has a bad knee, it is referenced and confirmed in the trailer for the coming movie.
"Her loss." I have to say, I appreciate the sudden homoerotic nature of this scene.
***** Not really. It shows the stereotype that they're selfish and don't do anything good for society.
***** Then by that logic, he has a thing for silver foxes because he's obsessed with M.
***** Oh dude, I was so bored in the theater, until this scene. I woke right up! XD
Point? It was a spontaneous joke, I'm making fun of him, that's all, there's no point.
Charles Ferdinand so why did you feel the need to even speak?
Silva’s face after he said “we can eat each other” 😂 Awesome
This is by far one of the best villain introductions ever...Javier Bardem totally nailed this one!!
4:31 "We can either eat each other... mm?" Gawd, I wish my mind wasn't this dirty...
+HBMHD it was meant to be dirty.
I'm no film student, but even I can see what an amazing scene this is. Imagine the skill, control, coordination and practice it must have taken to put together that opening shot -- a single long take that slowly moves in and up until you "see" from Bond's POV, all while Javier Bardem delivers that monologue so perfectly while walking at exactly the right speed to end up right in front of the camera as his story reaches its ghastly ending.
Beautifully put.
He spoke in such a natural rhythm and yet he reached his mark right when he was delivering his “now they only eat rat!” Line. Awesome sequencing.
it's called 'hitting your mark"
@@LordsofMedia lighten up frances.
Imagine doing that whole walk and speech perfect only to sneeze right at the end
I am in love with this scene... The actors are phenomenal, the timing of Silva's reactions or motions are right on time, they are both gentlemen, the power play is phenomenal, so casual, but kinky and smart with small signs. This scene alone deserves an award. I love Silva's character altogether.
He's very persuasive. I'd highly consider joining him.
Right? I'd be like hell yeah. where do I sign up?
Plus he looks better than a lot of bond girls
I felt the same way about him as Burke in fallout 3. So suave. I had to blow up Megaton.
Me too. He's hot as hell.
Excitement, riches, charisma...no woman would turn down the offer
i felt the same about pagan min
5:20
I like that the guard noticeable flinches when Bond is free'd and he flaps his arms out. He thought he was going to pull something. Clever attention to detail.
"What's the most you've ever lost in a coin toss?"
I believe that Silva's analogy on rats is about agents of M16, Silva was one of the two surviving rats and he longer hunted terrorists(coconuts) instead he now kills other agents of M16; e.g. Bond.
I think it's more impactful because there's no music.
I remember feeling such tension and dread in the cinema when he told this story. Worst sentence is the last: "But now they don't eat coconut anymore. Now they only eat rat".
From time to time, I come back to watch this video because of how amazing it was. I always say how he was one of my favorite villains (I can see why he did what he did) He was so calm and I loved his story. Skyfall itself was a great movie!
This is a masterclass in how to introduce a villain. The monologue, the long walk. Sam Mendes made a genius move here
What a scene... at 2:57 when he said that second "No" the amount of disappointment on his face was epic... great acting.
Indeed...the way he sighed after he got up was sublime
3:45
Silva: *Stares at Bond's eyes* Hmm...? *Stares at Bond's pants*
Bond: ... *Stares at Silva's pants also*
Timing, pacing and the superb acting of him telling the story is truly amazing! What an actor
"If I were gay, I'd marry just to piss off the Pope."
-Javier Bardem
Silva confirmed first gay Bond villain since Triple Nipples.
Notchinham I don’t remember Scaramanga being gay
the pope aint pissed
Now here you see 2 really good actors at work. Javier Bardem is brilliant as the highly intelligent yet psychopathic ex-spy. Daniel Craig is an amazingly cool & smart Bond who holds his ground facing the villain. The script is excellent, but it is the actors who bring it to life.
Now imagine the same scene with Stallone vs. Schwarzenegger, or Steven Seagal vs. van Damme: it would be totally laughable ;)
harpyion "You betrayed the law!"
"The law!"
Yeah, I don't think a Stallone movie meant to be this serious anyway.
Silva's face when Bond says "Everybody need a hobby" - oh! the humiliation! Silva's pride and achievement of life just drained by Bond in one sentence.
Michael M ikr. His face was precious.
Imagine saying that to gamers haha. But along with so many others. My first thought was with pornography lol. My pride fell in one line from a fictional character haha. Just a joke but it was funny reading your comment.
It would have been funny if Silva started talking to bond from the elevator and Bond was like " Wait what, I can't hear you" and Silva goes on talking while Bond is like "could you come here and talk, you're like a mile away from me"
So like in Shazam?
Nah that would have been cheesy
Imagine a film with Bardem and Christoph Waltz. It could be anything and turn out really special.
Tell them to flip a coin for the Good or Evil role.
Yesss. That's a grest idea
What would Waltz lose in the coin toss?
Good mix
This scene is truely brilliant. Just pure power play from both characters, beautifully written
If you listen closely at 5:24 you can hear Bond activate his gadget, right when he cracks his neck.
And at 5:46 its almost as if Silva knows about it.
No you can't
Love that very slow zoom as Silva walks towards Bond. Incredible performance from Javier Bardem!
The grin and hand motion Silva makes when he says “...you take them, and release them, into the trees” is such a nice subtle touch
Javier Bardem is an AMAZING actor!
What I love about this scene is how patient the camera was. There were no cuts to different angles, they allowed him to slowly come over for his introduction. That’s brilliant.
When I first saw this in theaters, I was so impressed by how the camera slowly veered over Bond's shoulder. It's moving along with the pace of Silva's stride. This is one of the best introductions for a villian, ever. Perfectly done! I love this scene. 😍
Who'da thunk that Javier Bardem would play the best Bond "Girl" ever? #ShipIt
😂😂😂😂
Justice J. Srisuk *thought
Pro Gaming “Who’da thunk it” is a catchphrase from a 1930s radio show that has entered American slang lexicon. www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/24/messages/1187.html
4:58 when the villain squeezes above Bond's knees, Daniel's reaction was genuine because that is a ticklish pressure point. I use it on people at judo all the time
That makes this so fucking funny
@@arachaninejust imagine if James went “Hee hee hee hee”
One subtle moment, in fact it is so subtle that one can easily miss it, is when Silva says "You can pick your own mission," Bond perks up ever so slightly. For a split second Bond was tempted.
Doubt it
*"Mommy was very bad."* - Silva
Matrix working against you 🌏
already.
One of the best villains, one of the best actings, in my opinion.
True
I love Silvas face when he suggests to eat each other
God damn I love this movie. Javier Bardem is such a good villain
4:35 that look and "mhm?" after he said we can eat each other haha, what an actor
Here is an ASMR moment.
I was thinking The same thing
Oh God 🤣🤣 shush up 😂😂😂
YESSS got here searching james bond asmr
Silva and Alec were my favorite Bond villains
+rushdi34 Probably why Skyfall and Goldeneye are my favourite movies too xD
Le Chiffre?
+Austin Boylan He is my 2nd favorite! More physically sinister but less power than Silva
That's because both of them were British agents then became traitors.
+rushdi34 max zorin is pretty good too
This is the best villain in movie history. Creepy, smart, enigmatic and very dangerous. No superpowers, no force. He scares just with his voice.
What makes you think this is my first time? That line just gets me every time. I mean when you think of James Bond, you never know maybe there was a drunken moment lol
Alcohol and substance addiction indicated...oof. Love that part
In spain we also say " oof" but its spelled " uf" and its said with a deeper "oo" than on english, just like he said it, so when i heard silva i could notice spain coming out of him at that point
@@pyrefly7575 Prior to that part, he also softly exclaims "Ay" as he approaches the table with the laptop... another Spain-ism.
@@solutionbeellc7577 un poco rebuscada pero vale
Bond: “What makes you think this is my first time?”
Silva: “Oh, Mr bond.”
Me: 😧😧😧😧
All this physical stuff, so doll... so doll...

Well the last time Bond was tied to a chair..
His balls got whacked.. Hard lmao
😂
@@TheJanvicgwaps 😆😆
Somehow I never recognized the resemblance and just now realized that Silva is also Anton from No Country For Old Men. Such an impressive actor
One of THE finest pieces of acting ever committed to film. It is amazing to watch.
This computer room, being just racks and racks of servers, is way more realistic than the control room seen in Spectre.
TheInflicted AKA a lot more expensive
Yes! Spectre missed the mark somewhat, it almost felt abit like a parody of classic 60s James Bond movies. We all thought Christoph Waltz would absolutely nail it and play somekind of intriguing Bond Villain but he kinda fell flat, his Blofeld just felt very cliche. Still a decent Bond movie but not as good as Skyfall.
Lmao do you work in IT?
If you *really* wanna go deep on IT Ops reality, there's not nearly enough visible cooling systems in this shot to handle that massive amount of servers/boxes/switches. Silva's room as shown would be about 180 degrees without massive banks of visible HVAC. It is wicked-cool, though. 😉
Spectre is more campy and out there. That's why. Not really meant to be realistic.
"Mommy was very bad."
Always cracks me up.
Line to remember:)
Tony Soprano could definitely relate to that statement.
Silva is basically like 006 alec trevelyan from goldeneye who also worked mi6 and betrayed them when he told James Bond his loyalty was for the mission after left them almost dying after he survive
I love Silvas outfit. One always loves a villain with great taste. ;-)
Ur so posh
@@britnat3706 Only in theory when you can't afford it. lol
His outfit is very cool. Also the one in the end fight.
The best character study of a Bond villain I've seen as of late. Over the course of a film, you start to see what kinds of personality traits, upbringing, and past incidences would come together to create the type of hammy, egotistical madman that Bond regularly goes up against.
"She sent you after me knowing you are not ready, knowing you would likely die, mommy was very bad" easily best villain in bond.
Watching this scene with family almost dragged me out of the closet. Lost my composure and started to get turned on. Mom asked if I was ok LOL.
Gross
There's nothing wrong with that, you be who you are Jacob! 🌈
@@spacesoarer3627 liar.
@@trawlins396 mmhm maybe there's something wrong with you if you think that there's something wrong with being gay 🤔🏳🌈
is Silva gay?
Best Bond villain intro, at least for me. Skyfall and Casino Royale are my favorite Daniel Craig 007 movies.
2:48 when the professor makes a joke that's not funny and you need to pass the class.
Lol.
Lol hehe
Anton Chigurh is one hell of an actor.
Am I the only one who watches this like it’s ASMR over the years…?
Man this guy can act. Javier bardem is so hard to take your eyes off of when you’re watching him.
Very talented actor indeed.
Imagine the amount of pornography one could download with that setup. Not that I've ever done that or anything.
hahah I was thinking it would a decent gaming setup.
FPS. Can you imagine the graphics it would run ? and multiple connections. 3d immersion monitor ? ummmm. Be almost like being James Bond IRL.
"hey bro nice setup you got here."
"Thanks, I use it for facebook."
***** Hahaha :)
