    In “The Use of Spies,” of Sun Tuz’s The Art of War there are countless reasoning’s as to why a spy is a spy. In the film “Goldeneye,” these reasoning’s are showed countlessly. One is early in the movie when James Bond and his newly girlfriend is taking a nice drive through the mountains but suddenly his ex-girlfriend appears. She antagonizes him to race through the mountains which he does. Sun Tuz’s says “They cannot be properly managed without benevolence and straightforwardness (39).” This is shown by Bond listening to the lady as she says “you’re just trying to show the sizes of your…” James Bond then goes on to say engine and as she tells him to stop the car he does so.

    So here I am feeling rather shaken and stirred that Bond has quite literally made the double 0, managing to have scraped up a spot alongside the literary greats as number ninety-seven in Time Magazine’s ‘Top 100 Books Of All Time’. This may not come to a surprise to most of you, as the several books and films make it clear that the popular franchise is an icon in pop culture. But yet, I think we are forgetting that a classic should be more than just petty delight.…

    James Bond, the man of many talents, and by sharing all of the attributes listed above this makes him extremely desirable. You Only live Twice, based in the late 1960’s, James Bond is certainly the man of his era. Likable, patriotic, well dressed, hairy, and extremely manly are few of the words that best describe James Bond in this text/film. He can be seen to represent these many traits all throughout. As quoted by Aki “I think I will enjoy very much serving under you” whether they be agent 007’s physical appearance or shown through his actions in You Only live Twice James Bond is seen to always be desirable. Likability has been the most dominant feature targeted during the film Casino Royale. Despite acting quite egotistical, James Bond is shown to be emotional, attractive observant and intelligent. These traits are portrayed through his words, actions and body language. The desire towards James Bond is shown all throughout this text in the sense that vesper slowly falls in love with James. In the scene where vesper sacrifices herself because of her guilt after betraying Bond, shows her love for him but is consequently also showing bond to be irresistible. As the modern hero is seen to be perfect in every aspect, it makes sense for him to be extremely…

    James Bond has been around for over 50 years. Created in 1953, he provides many opportunities to study popular perceptions of intelligence, particularly covert operations and human intelligence. Signals intelligence does not play a big role in the novels and films. As mentioned earlier, spy fiction aims to be realistic and picks villains and adventures that correspond with the political threats of its time. The adventures that Bond is facing over the years show the changing images and attitudes of Britain and the US in world…

    1) Attica, Attica. You broke my heart Fredo. Say hello to my little friend. Forget about it. All of these quotes are credited to one actor. An actor who has entertained movie-goers and theater buffs for more than 40 years. An actor who at one point in his career was nominated for an Academy Award in four consecutive years, which is an Academy Award record. His list of films reads like a bucket list of movies to watch before you die. The Godfather I and II, Dog Day Afternoon, Scarface, and Scent of a Woman is just a small sample of films which have earned this man critical acclaim and box office fame. It is with great pleasure and reverence I present to you, Al Pacino.…

    The story begins abruptly, as we find our mock heroes out in the desert en route to the savvy resort of Las Vegas. The author uses a tense hitchhiker as a mode, or an excuse, for a flashback that exposes the plot. An uncertain character picked up in the middle of the desert who Raoul Duke, the main character, feels the need to explain things to, to help him rest easy. They had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multicolored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers....Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw either, and two dozen amyls. They were on assignment from a fashionable sporting magazine in New York, to cover the 4th Annual "Mint 400" dirt bike and dune buggy race. A savage journey to the heart of the American dream.<br><br>Before one can review the motion picture "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", he must first research the full length novel of the same name. The book first appeared in 1971 in issues 95 and 96 of Rolling Stone magazine, published November 11th and 25th respectively. Although the two part series stated its author was someone called Raoul Duke, the story was copyrighted in 1971 by Hunter S. Thompson. Raoul Duke is actually the false name under which Hunter Thompson portrays himself as main character and narrator.<br><br>The film was produced in the early goings of summer in 1998 almost as a tribute to the re-release of the novel in June. Directed by Monty Python's Flying Circus animator Terry Gilliam [12 Monkeys], the film was received quite poorly in the box office and even by the counterculture which was its target audience. Not even an impressive list of cameo appearances could salvage box office respect. This list featured Cameron Diaz, Cristina Ricci, Gary Busey, Lyle Lovett, Verne Troyer ["Minime" from Austin Powers], Penn Jillette [of Penn and Teller], Michael Jeter, and Flea [Red Hot…

    1984 and V for Vendetta

    • 676 Words

    The famous philosopher Friedrich Nietzche once stated, “When you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.” Implying the fact that when one strives to overcome a force, there is a possibility that one may naturally be altered into being similar to the force they struggle against. In the process of analyzing this quote, one can compare the two protagonists Winston and V. from 1984 and V. for Vendetta, to comprehend which of the two is more affected by the corrupt authority around him. In numerous ways, Winston can be seen as the more affected of the two. In 1984, Winston is often willing to sacrifice others for his own pleasures and gain. In his youth, Winston devours the little amount of food his family has, sacrificing his hungry mother and sick sister, to quench his uncontrollable appetite, “At every meal she [Winston’s mother] would beseech him not to be selfish and to remember that his little sister also needed food…he was starving the other two” (Orwell 132). Later on in the novel, when Winston can no longer endure O’Brien’s tortures, he screams, “Do it to Julia! Do it to Julia! Not me!” (Orwell 227), sacrificing his lover, Julia, for his own well-being. Contrastingly, V. sacrifices himself for the good of others. When V. makes a deal with Creedy of handing over Adam Sutler, the chancellor, he already knows that Creedy is planning to kill him as well after the chancellor is dead. However, because V. is sure that the oppressive society will not improve if either Creedy or the chancellor is alive, V. forfeits his own life to kill them both. As a result of this, the people of the tyrannical society are able to enjoy their newly acquired freedom (McTeigue 2006). While V. sacrificed himself for the benefits of the citizens of London, Winston sacrificed his family and his lover for his own gains. Through this, one can perceive that Winston is affected more by the government than V. is. Another…

    I believe “The Fast and The Furious” movie series has impacted our society to a great extent in our present day. This movie is a perfect example of a low culture film and is made for the common person to watch and enjoy. After the first movie of this series came out, slowly but surely people began modifying their cars and tried turning them into speed machines just like the cars in the movie. It became more common than ever to see small Japanese cars like Honda Civics’ hooked up with an enormous oversized muffler screaming down the road.…
