Layered, scattered, shot, beaten, poisoned, burned, blasted, galloped, crushed by crocodiles in the throat and sharks in the jaws – and killed, at least a hundred more times, in his possession in the capital of the Bahamas in Nassau at the age of 90 Connery, who will be remembered as a knight, the world’s most famous Scottish and the role of super-agent 007 James Bond. The passer-by will be led to the sky gate by an Aston Martin carriage.

Anxiety and insecurity teach humanity, forgetting in ignorance who will now be a rock-hard shoulder in the watch of Her Highness and the free world. Who will take on the fight against terrorism, cowards, feminism and other global crises in the future.

Connery was the first and most legendary portrayal of the image of James Bond in these spy pieces, originally in the screenplays of Ian Fleming’s novels, which will be released on the 25th film next year and which always deserve an audience and financial record. It is probably the most recognizable and valuable of the world’s most famous cinema brands. Bondiiana’s stories are told in an elementary and understandable way, punched to every brain.

Although a discussion has been held with British Chief of Staff M on how best to proceed with the planned operation, Agent 007 is experiencing difficulties and trouble in the confrontation between good and evil in the first scenario, from the sultry Caribbean islands to cold northern Siberia.

The agent alone fearlessly accepts the challenge and enters into an unequal duel with force, to be an absolute villain who wants to take over the entire planet, a brawler of a criminal organization, an “octopus” leader who wants to destroy the world, a sick abuser, a sadistic Doctor No or the like. As an attractive and sexually passionate gentleman, Bonds spins several love affairs with screen partners in parallel.

At the end of the film, the English spy, in spite of the deadly dangers and does not fall into the traps set, prevails in a fierce battle over the enemies of the British Empire, launching them into the air or otherwise ending them. The final view of the classic genre – happy end – ends with an elegiac note, where the main character is seen in the bed scene with the most loyal and adorable bunny.

Although before each Bond adventure sequel newspaper describes that it has “captured the most expensive” project of all time, “uses first-class cinema technology”, James himself is unbeatable and deals with bad guys mostly bare-handed to be half a meter taller and significantly heavier. category.

Sean Connery was a knight who seeped and floated a masculine force out of all the pores on the screen. In addition to the fact that Bonds portrayed him as a myth-producing testosterone-producing macho and sexist, the protagonist also smokes like a chimney and is a hefty thrower.

Perhaps the old-fashioned English intelligence agent 007 no longer fits in today, belonging to the last millennium century, where what happened already sounds like mythological antiquity. Cynic and rude! – through each other will be called feminists. – Wild! Fan! – will invade these swamps, demanding that in the next series, the role of the English – female hunter Bond is played by a black man with homosexual tendencies under the new Hollywood rules.

Bonds, James Bonds is gone. There will be acting and good, high-quality, unforgettable cinema, which will be watched and appreciated by more and more young viewers.
