Bond

This week we did not started to discuss our reading but did group presentations in class. In this week post, I want to discuss about what I feel about the reading assignment in this week. The two articles we were required to read are about the“007” novel series. Before I read these two articles, I already watched many Bond movies. However, my understanding of these movies and novel was only about how the different characters performed their different understanding about Bond in the movie. After I read these two articles, I finally started to think that why the author and reader would chose James Bond this film subject matter during the age of Cold War. Now, people may not understand what James Bond did relate with our life and national security from the novel or movie. However, during that age, the KGB of U.S.S.R and American FBI really had a long term spy war between these two super powers. From other views of point, the “007” novel and later movies successfully and really reflected the culture and reality of that age. From the success of Bond movie, it proved that the great art come from life. Especially, after the Cold War, the “007” movie series became more popular in the world. People like to through movie to feel the history and culture of last age. From the movies and novels people can feel the history they experienced better. During their age, they may exist with the history with the same time, but they did not really have a break to think about it. Now, the movie gave a chance to people to throw the specific historical background to re-feel the time and culture they had. That is why people like Bond movies and how they are success today.
