Hollywood Hunter

One second to remember [800♂ small÷speak→net], wonderful novels with no bullet windows to read for free!

For the funeral plot, Simon references the original James Bond SPECTRE, but it's only a formal reference, with very different details.

However, for some bad taste, one of the original characters from this episode gets to remain.

Monica Bellucci.

Frankly, in the original version of James Bond's Ghost Party, the already beautiful and aging Monica Bellucci wasn't all that likable, and her brief encounter with Bond was awkward as a result. Not so now, when Monica Bellucci is in her early thirties and at her most mature and beautiful.

This is a truly inspiring way to play a pretty widow who has just lost her husband.

James Bond attends the wedding posing as Bellucci's Lucille Scala's husband's best friend, and approaches Lucille afterwards, finding her in an unusual state.

As usual, they quickly go to bed.

In the big bed, after the pleasure, Lucica pokes straight through, pointing out that 007 can't be her husband's friend, and advises the other to get as far away from this mess as possible. From the opening wedge, when the big ship is directly identified, to the conversation with Madame M about the fears of MI6 being infiltrated, to now being easily pierced by a woman who has just lost her husband, Bond is increasingly aware of the horrors of a certain web.

Seeing that her persuasion has failed and that Bond seems bent on pursuing the matter, Lucretia hands over one of her husband's secret notebooks and urges Bond to leave as soon as possible.

Driving away from Lucretia's estate in his own Aston Martin, the more Bond thinks about it on the road, the more he feels wrong.

Suddenly it dawned on him.

From the moment we first met, the state the woman had shown was one of desperation, the desperation of knowing that she had no time to live.

Spinning the steering wheel frantically to return to Lucretia's estate, he bursts into the bedroom again, and Lucretia is dead in the big bed, dressed in red, painted with red lips, like a delicate rose sleeping peacefully, and seemingly without pain before death.

This is one area where the details of the film differ from the original.

Once upon a time, 007's Ghost Party, 007 received information from Monica Bellucci's Lucretia, and was pretty sure to help the others arrange a retreat.

The plot is even very different from the previous James Bond series.

In fact, a lot of the details of the James Bond series are changing as the Western public opinion climate changes.

In the early days, 007 was a complete playboy, passing through the chaos of flowers and leaves. After the new century, the prevalence of ideas such as political correctness and feminism led to the 007 series where the Bond girl is no longer the complete prop she once was, and even has a bonafide love affair with James Bond.

Simon doesn't really resent this change, it's just that the series getting more and more yo-yo dragging to accommodate political correctness is something Simon can't stand.

It's like the details of Bond's back story for Lucifer.

According to the film's rendering, SPECTRE is so powerful, how could a damn person get away with it.

In fact, the entire original 007 SPECTRE is, in Simon's opinion, a very poor quality film, not only accommodating political correctness, but also the annoyingly long action scenes, the opening helicopter battle and later the car chase, etc., which at first glance is very exciting, but a scene repeatedly lasting four or five minutes, that is not exciting at all.

In addition, the details of such a powerful villain being defeated by Bond in the end are child's play.

The super lord who controls a large global crime network is so alone and stuck on the street that he might as well be a small-time gangster, even if the street gangsters are dry-fighting, they're still all still one big gang down.

In a brand new story, before James Bond can grieve too much over the death of Lucretia, sirens are blaring in his ears.

Completely too late to escape, Bond is arrested by the Italian police on murder charges.

This proves Mrs. M's suspicions on another level as well.

A certain web of secrecy that involves almost everyone, black and white.

The good news is that, because of Bond's special status, the two sides were able to negotiate Bond's eventual release, as well as his suspension from duty and confinement to London.

James Bond accepts his punishment and lives a short, normal life in London, only to feel that there are many eyes on him.

Privately, after studying the notebook that Lucretia left for him, 007 decodes a whole new set of clues, and with the help of Moneypenny and Q, Bond escapes MI6's surveillance violations and leaves England for Switzerland in search of a psychiatrist named Madeleine Swan.

The plot is still from the original version.

But aside from the setting, the specifics are also very different from the original version.

As in the original, Madeleine Swan is a decent Bond girl, and Simon eventually cast Uma Thurman in the role.

Uma Thurman doesn't really fit Simon's aesthetic, but the first consideration in the casting process is usually whether or not the role is appropriate, and he never wanted to turn Hollywood into a Korean entertainment industry that was all one face. Uma Thurman, who is taller and possesses an air of mysterious beauty compared to the original Lea Seydoux, fits perfectly into Simon's new setting for Madeleine Swan.

Because this part of the plot will also contain an important egg.

About the identity of Madeleine Swan.

Simply put, it's a former Charlie's Angel who used to work at Charlie's Detective Agency, Charlie's Angels.

The two meet at a luxury psychiatric clinic in the top of the Alps and test each other out, with neither one gaining credibility with the other, while the villain who has been shadowing Bond all along soon arrives on the scene to hunt down both 007 and Swan.

Unlike the original, which dragged on, it's a very crisp action sequence from escaping the mountaintop clinic to skiing all the way down the mountain.

The mysterious female assassin, played by Robert Chilke, the VMI angel who was knocked out of the sea by Bond in the opening wedge, also reappears, and when Bond fails to win the fight with his bare hands, Madeleine Swan steps in to help, showing off her surprisingly strong skills, only to have the two of them together remain at a disadvantage to the assassin.

The Slayer with the innocent green eyes temperament but cold and bloodthirsty also took the time to tease the two, claiming that they needed one more helper to deal with them.

Three against one.

God says to have light ......

In short, a helicopter soon appears, leaping directly from the ropes with three heavily armed, tall women, all masked and carrying weapons.

In time to explain that she has handed over the female assassin to her three suddenly arriving helpers, Madeleine Swan indicates that she is in a hurry and leaves early with Bond climbing the helicopter's dangling ropes, and in the overhead shot, the three masked women are already standing with the female assassin.

For those who don't pay much attention to Hollywood, this episode may seem a bit awkward.

However, viewers who pay a little attention to MGM and see three heavily armed women will first think of the Charlie's Angels series. Although no official teaser trailer has been released yet, the series has been hot for a long time.

I didn't expect that MGM would put such an egg in this side of 007.

MGM has been secretive about its plans for the secret agent cinematic universe.

At this time, the audience with sharper intuition, seeing this egg, immediately associate it with a phrase that appears most frequently in Hollywood these years: cinema universe.

The DC Cinematic Universe and the Requiem Cinematic Universe have both been successful, and the Comic Book Cinematic Universe, even if not a single movie has yet to appear, is seen by many as a nail in the coffin sooner or later. Other studios, although they have yet to create a long-running series to compete with the Requiem Cinematic Universe, have often deliberately rubbed this term's heat on some projects.

After all, being associated with a cinematic universe means a high level of attention in the first place.

Whether or not it will work in the future is a matter for the future.

Now that the James Bond series has been implanted with Charlie's Angels eggs, and when you think about Simon Westeros' original strong attempt to take back control of the 007 series from the British Brockley family, and the upcoming Charlie's Angels, which will be released at the end of the year, similar themes and different interludes, isn't this a cinematic universe?

The names don't even appear too far off.

The Secret Service Cinematic Universe.

The obvious.

The many live reporters attending this premiere are even more excited about this discovery, just a topic that, once confirmed, will be a hot topic for at least a week.

As for some other studio executives or Hollywood filmmakers, they have mixed feelings about it.

The two cinematic universes that have already been formed in Hollywood are already beyond everyone's reach, and now, if a third cinematic universe emerges, and one based on a super IP like James Bond, it will certainly occupy a large amount of Hollywood's various resources once again.

And then. This goes on and on.

In the midst of various thoughts, the plot continues on the big screen.

Leaving the Alps and arriving at a safe house in Geneva, Madeleine Swan, who has been through a bit of a side-by-side battle, reconfirms Bond's identity and begins to reveal more to each other.

Madeleine Swan had once been a very ordinary girl from a reasonably well-off family, and if not for some change of heart, she might have lived in London, married a prominent lawyer or financier, and lived the life of a full-time wife.

Unfortunately, the peaceful life was shattered when she was 16.

Her businessman father was somehow involved in a smuggling case that led to the murder of both her parents.

As well as, the three women who just showed up to help were Madeline's colleagues before she left her job.

Even though Madeleine Swan didn't mention the specific name of a particular detective agency, the topic was so far along that even the slowest viewer would have already reacted.

Charlie Detective Agency.

The obvious.

Solid Hammer!

After this brief backstory, Madeleine Swan leads Bond to a back room to show 007 the results of her years of investigation.

The facts are simply desperate.

After years of investigation, Madeleine Swan uncovers an international super-criminal syndicate that combines drug trafficking, arms smuggling, human trafficking and other highly profitable criminal activities into one, because the syndicate is so deep and ruthless that it has deep penetration into various government departments and is relentless in its efforts to root out the members who make mistakes or attempt to betray it. Known.

The recent case of drug trafficking on a cruise ship in the English Channel, which shocked the world, is just one operation of this criminal network. The fact that Lucica Scala's husband, the titular owner of the cruise ship, was liquidated as a result of this failed operation, leaving no survivors, including Lucica herself, is the usual style of this organization.

Moreover, according to the evidence gathered by Madeleine Swan, many of the most famous warlord organizations, mafiosi, snakeheads, etc. around the globe are actually just the periphery of this criminal syndicate.

So you can imagine how huge this crime syndicate is.

Starting as just a little girl and tracking down years, Madeleine Swan eventually got only a vague name for this organization.

SPECTRE.

The organization's totem is an octopus.

It symbolizes the fact that SPECTRE, like the octopus, has its tentacles out into every aspect of the world.

Madeleine Swan also complains uncomplainingly that she could have continued this secret investigation and eventually uncovered the truth, but as a result, Bond drew SPECTRE to himself and she could no longer keep it hidden and had to give it a go.

Also, inside Madeleine Swan's secret room, Bond stumbles upon an old photograph of one man, Madeleine's father, and the other, but the strange middle-aged man he met at a party in London.

After remembering, Madeleine finally remembers.

The exact identity of the man is not clear to her, but she remembers that her father seems to address the other, Mr. White.

Mr. White!

At this point in the story, two-thirds of the film has passed.

The film's ninety-minute plot is also beginning to wind down, pointing to a final ending.

The two analyze a series of clues and follow a trail that leads them to Venice, Italy's watery city.

The two finally meet the mysterious Mr. White, a manor house on a small island off the coast of Venice, and through their conversation, it is confirmed that he is the man who killed Madeleine's parents, who had been purged for wanting to quit or even betray SPECTRE.

Mr. White, in his madness, decides to die with 007 and Swan, who escape at the last minute.

The castle and Mr. White are blown to pieces by a massive explosion.

However, Mr. White's last words stayed with the two men.

This was not the end.

Everything was just a beginning.

The sun sets over the ruins of the castle, and with police cars gathering in all directions, James Bond and Madeleine Swann embrace, and the scene closes in on Bond's right hand around Swann's waist, playing with a silver ring engraved with a Ghostbusters totem.

The music plays and the film ends.
