      @DeSPoTNemanjaS I think ign is just cookie cutter and their reviewers and podcasts don’t appeal to me and haven’t since 2014. Beyond used to rule but now it’s so vanilla and boring. They seem like a hive mind more than a group of different individuals with different opinions. And cinefix I’ve fucked with since it’s inception pretty much. Really wonderful in depth (albeit brief) looks at film. Such a large step above ign’s content. So at first I was worried they would water it down but it seems untouched except for the name.

      i didn't know they partnered but its great to see its done little to change Cinefix's content which I've always appreciated. Its the kind of brief look at such a diverse and knowledgeable account of many movies. It helps provoke interest of movie fans while also introducing them to films they might not know. I know i've definitely gotten good recommendations from watching videos from this channel

    The Bond in the books is infinitely more interesting than the movies. You are also missing how both Bond and the narrative don't shame Honey for wanting to be a sex worker. Bond merely warns her of some expenses the job has like bribes for cops. Bond is genuinely fond of her and is happy when she later has success and marries a doctor. This is a thing of his character, he doesn't understand why slutshaming is a thing and doesn't blink at women's sexual history.
    Also he kills the giant squid with a DINNER knife.

      Yes, Bond in the novels grows from his adventures, and he has a lot of interesting things going on in his head a lot of the time. Most of the books have a theme relating the adventure to Bond’s personal growth, whereas, as this video points out, the movies just have Bond as a suave, confident action hero with no issues and barely any growth whatsoever. That’s the great thing about the Craig films, they actually explore his psychology in the same way that Fleming did.

    • @truthgiovanni6354

      That is sort of the issue I had with the movies for years I thought Bond was silly with all his puns one liners and over the top gadgets. It wasn't until they released the books in those cool pulp covers just before Craig's first outing so I picked the first one up for my dad than wound up reading it and was amazed. Bond felt more like a person and when I read more I got Bond and was so happy they made a closer version of him with Daniel Craig.

    fun fact: the book was also the first use of the Walther PPk because a fan named Boothroyd wrote Fleming and told him Bond's Beretta 418 was a wimpy lady's gun and to get him a better gun like the Walther hence why there's a Major Boothroyd in both the book and movie

    Excellent video. Dr. No is definitely one of the James Bond movies that is more or less faithful to the book. The first several movies follow the books fairly well but by the Roger Moore era they were pretty much based on them in name only. It'd be hilarious if you did a video comparing some of those movies to their respective books. Like the movie The Spy Who Loved Me is completely different than the book. The book is about a Canadian woman Vivian Michele who recounts to the reader how she lost her virginity in England and is now at a motor lodge in Vermont and is being held prisoner by two mobsters there to burn down the hotel for the insurance money and James Bond who's tracking them from Toronto even doesn't show up until the last third of the book. The plot of the movie couldn't be more different haha.

    Perhaps it's my memory failing, but 21 years ago, while taking 11 hour drives to visit my girlfriend, I would take out a few books on tape (and they were on tape in those days) from the local public library, and Dr No was one of the books I listened to, though I don't remember ever finishing it. You didn't mention it, but one of the scenes I remember (or mis-remember) was as assassination attempt on him involving giant centipedes in his hotel room bed. That showed a terrified and most un-movie-like Bond.

    Nice (psycho)analysis. As well as Sylvia Trench, the film version also adds Miss Taro, thereby boosting the amount of sex in the story by a tidy 400%. I think this tells us something about the direction the producers wanted to go in too.

      @@williamcordier1201 I wasn't referring to inuendo-heavy names (although there's a thread below about Ms Trench if you're interested). I was just flagging that Bond gets 'friendly' with Sylvia and twice with Ms Taro, plus Honey, which makes 4 shags in the film to the 1 in the book. So ok, maybe that's 300% but you get my point...

    Trench is a perfectly normal English name, I was at school with one and apart from nicknaming hi Digger, we all thought it a ordinary dull name.

    I read the book decades ago and this just about sums it up, nice video, I have to say though James Bond, in the books anyway, works for MI5 not MI6. MI6 is intelligence, i.e. setting up systems, whereas MI5 is counter intelligence, i.e. stopping others setting up systems.

      Bond works for MI6 in the books not MI5.
      Here an excerpt from Moonraker Chapter 9:
      Bond said nothing. He still couldn't see what all this had to do with the Secret Service whose jurisdiction runs only outside the United Kingdom. It seemed a job for the Special Branch of Scotland Yard, or conceivably for M.I.5. He waited. He looked at his watch. It was noon.

    Do you feel like you'll be in some kind of trouble if you don't make fun of the real-world last name Trench? I have a guess what the innuendo is but search results aren't helping me be sure.
    Meanwhile, you don't call out how the Quarrel death is something of a racial trope and say nothing about the Dr. No casting which qualifies as whitewashed, afaik.

    I read this book last year. It's so good, but it's clearly a product of its time. Bond is kind of a racist, and a misogynist. None of it took away from the enjoyment of the book though (for me). From Russia with Love was also a damn good book.
