What a provocative title! It is, though.
American friends: I gather that you guys don’t get this movie for another couple of weeks. DO NOT READ BELOW THE CUT. Seriously. I know spoilers for a Bond movie is a counterintuitive notion – what the Hell am I going to spoil,…
Yeaaaaaah, that’s the money.
I know a lot of people complained that the scene at Skyfall didn’t feel like a Bond film, and I was a little surprised, because that seemed so obviously the point. Skyfall is the rabbit hole, the old festering wound in Bond’s life that’s never really healed. (And on that note, all that falling through water and vagina-shaped holes in the seafloor was some of the most blatant water/rebirth symbolism I’ve ever seen. The opening credits tell you the entire plot, if you know what you’re looking at.)
