The seventh art has the power to influence the historical memory of a society for generations with films that have marked a before and after in history. Often their protagonists are not only the idols of the masses, but figures followed both for their style and their attitude. One of the most significant examples is found in Agent 007, that for five decades has always been present
Since the first movie was released in 1962, ‘Agent 007 vs. Dr No’, under the characterization of Sean Connery, the spy’s profile served as an inspiration for men around the world to change their image, both in terms of their hairstyle and their dressing room. Later, other figures such as George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan o Daniel Craig, who, with very different physiques, have managed to maintain their status at the same level over the years, elevating him as one of the most attractive characters on the film scene.
The key to his popularity also resides in his demeanor when it comes to wearing his suits, the elegance with which he moves, his way of conquering women and his witty phrases -how to forget his “Martini dry, shaken, not stirred” – but, Has it not been mythologized too much? It is not about making a criticism of the character or the actors who have given him life, but of carrying out an exercise in reflection on whether he is really as attractive as they say, or if that of “make fame and go to sleep”.
Part by part. As for his style, he is a great advocate of tailoring and suits in general, but unlike other movie characters, it might have been wise for him to play a little more with the costumes. It’s what it takes to be a secret agent, right? As much as it has its own personal stamp, from our point of view it has been pigeonholed too much, failing to be not very innovative. Maybe see him with a more informal outfit, in the style ‘Lupin’, It would have served to elevate it even more for originality, and even more so now that we are at a time when trends have become much more permissive.
His lifestyle is also quite unreal and if you think about it carefully, his physical abilities, too. That of jumping from a motorcycle to a burning car and leaving as well as unscathed, with an impeccable look, can be effective in attracting the viewer’s attention in a scene, but repeating the formula ad nauseam. it can have the opposite effect. As much as they are action movies, sometimes it counts more when reality is stranger than fiction.
But if there is one point that deserves more deliberate deliberation, it is his attitude, because James Bond has a personality that seems to conquer women From the first minute, it is not necessary for him to speak a word, with his mere presence he has everything done.
And no, it shouldn’t be like that, because precisely Agent 007’s problem – even though he has a rather ironic sense of humor that can help him get into anyone’s pocket – is that overly studied posture that little leaves to naturalness. The first five minutes can be effective, but after the ’round of recognition’ being the pimp is no longer useful, you have to show something else. And that’s when he doesn’t have them all with him, because he never detaches himself from his facade.
The reality is that, more than a pretty face, what counts is the attitude you have. It should not be forgotten either that the imperfections and features that make the difference are what determine that a person is attractive, and what happens with Bond is that being always so perfect is what precisely detracts from him. A little natural, friend.
