How Black Stephen Soderberg’s Black Bag Armed Actor James Bond

This article contains spoilers For “black bag”.

In 1995 “Goldeneye”, Recently appointed MI6 leader, known as M (Judi Dench), gives Superspy James Bond, 007, dressing. She tells him that he goes, what he considers him a “sexist, misery dinosaur” and “Cold War” relic, someone whose methods, despite the fact that they serve as common goals for the Queen and the country, are ancient, dangerous and abusive. James Bond’s movies (as it is produced by Eon Productions from 1962-2020) Pursuant that he would occasionally make Metatextual comments on his main character, since George Lazenbi winked the cameras and mentioned the “other guy” in the early 1968 “Her Majesty’s Secret Service”. This Meta Meta Mu in “Goldeneye” had a little more depth than usual, but alluding to a few aspects of the character. He hung a hat on the revival of a problematic bond character for a decade, which conveyed himself on the social consciousness (then called “political correctness” called “woken up”), while winking Bond’s supporters regarding his latest rehabilitation. As now, played by Pierce Brosnan, the moment in “Goldenye” ​​sets the tone of his stay.

Brosnan’s approach to the role was so well defined and gloomy What he became a favorite fan over Sean Connera and Daniel Craig. Like Bond, Brosnan brought the rudeness of Kansi, who took over the character and mixed him with the bizarre sarcasm Roger Moore, finishing it with Timothy Dalton’s intensity. More than any other actor role, Brosnan seems to be a bond for all seasons, lenting a character special quality: while other actors playing Bond have been a wild card, there was always something unwavering and reliable about 007 Brosnan.

That’s why Brosnan’s role Stephen Soderberg Last movie, “Black bag”, “” It’s a delicious meta. Although Brosnan does not appear in the movie as much as the main six acting participants led by Michael Fasbander and Kate Blanchet, his appearance is given a much greater weight due to his history. In the Black Bag, the hero of Brosnan Arthur Steygitz, oversees the National Cybersecurity Center (NCSC), as well as the main villain of the film. This is part of the turn that resembles so much thrillers, but it has given additional juice due to the performance of Brosnan and its presence itself, making it the closest image of James Bond as Badyaga.

In the Black Bag, the operative George Woodhaus NCSC (FASSBEnder) tells that the agency has a traitor in their midst, the one who is probably seeking to sell a secret work of technology that the agency developed a code name for North (after the Roman emperor, not the dark art teacher). This technology can lead to the crises of numerous power plants when installing, creating a political situation that destabilizes any target country in which it is used. After he was suspected of one of his colleagues as a traitor (including Katherine Saint -Jean, who played Blanchet), George launches his own secret investigation. His fraud is caused by Catherine’s curiosity, which is unknown to George, actually looking for this traitor, especially if she and George at the same time realize that they play against each other.

It turns out that this is because the plot – the puppet master behind the scenes, using his employees in NCSC as his own chimney to start an unauthorized OP and get a severus used in Russia to destabilize it and take steps to set any power. Thousands who die, as a result, certainly have no consequences for the Stealyal or his treacherous minion (whose person I will not reveal here, hoping to save an unexpected surprise for those who read it before watching the movie). Thus, not only Brosnan can essentially play in the version M, but also Soderberg and writer David Koep, emphasize the substantiation of the “Stylitsa” to substantiate the means to contrast Brosnan’s natural integrity and his story as a connection, which makes his actions much more moral than the mustache.

For its part, despite the fact that the betrayal of the stille is effectively the plot, Brosnan never includes a charm to distract the audience from his black hat (unlike it in Edgar Wright “End of the World”, For example). Ya-grubble, without nonsense, cheeky leap from his first stage, another indicator that Soderberg uses the built-in actor’s appeal to mitigate his bad behavior. In fact, the way Brosnan is used in the “black bag” is a slightly double link “Goldeneye”, because in this movie, Sean Bin reflects Alec Treven, Aka 006, a colleague who collaborates with the MI6 agent. If the bonds can also become a bonds of the bond, then there may also be a former former connection.

However, James Bond’s films are not the only spy films that are “Black Bag”. Among the small strokes and hints on films such as “All Men President”, “IPCRESS FILE”, and John Le Kara’s works, there is the fact that the COPP said in the official materials of the film, first conceived about the idea of ​​the film during the study of his script for his script “Mission: Mission: impossible”, impossible The first is still (literally and in the figurative sense) of the franchise of Tom Cruz. This movie, like “Black Bag”, is less concerned about hanging your star from increasingly dangerous heights and is more involved in the topics of deception and morality, especially in relation to how ordinary people can maintain some life when all their existence consists of exacerbation. It would be wrong to call CopP a pessimist, but it certainly contains a healthy dose of cynicism when it comes to lifelong Spycraft practices.

As evidence, “Black Bag” and “Mission: Unable” to fulfill a very similar focus: to equip the nostalgic sympathies of viewers against them. In “Mission”, John Voit reflects Jim Felps, a character played by Peter Grevez during most of the original series “Mission: Important” and the one who was undoubtedly a heroic hero in this show. Although the voit does not resemble the graves, the fact that it intends to play in the old phelpes, which then betray the whole team (including Ethan Hunt Cruz), allows you to cut deeper. This is certainly offended by the acting composition of the original series, most of which were still alive to watch the movie. While the “black bag” is not furiously in the stomach as much as it is still early to see that Brosnan turned his heel.

Maybe I really had my number.
