We are deadly sure than when Ian Flemin wrote his first James Bond novel, he did not realize how popular his secret agent would be.
007, Bond's code number, is a British secret agent that works for the British Crown. Although he works worldwide, he can be easily recognised by his English manners. He is smart, he is polite, he shows good manners, he knows how to behave in every difficult situation he has to face, and he has a high sense of patriotism.
In short, Bond is Great Britain.
The character has gone through a growth in his personality. At first, Bond was just a secret agent working for Her Majesty but nowadays, the current James, has undergone some changes in his personality. Bond is a cold, tough guy who does not show his feelings and does not get involved with the rest of the characters but, sometimes, the last James Bond can feel and can fail.
But he still owns these well-known "likes":
- ALCOCHOL: Bond always drinks Martini but... his way!!!
- WOMEN: From the first Bond's girl (Ursula Andres) to last (Monica Bellucci), being a Bond's girl has been considered a priviledge. Actresses have not to be good at acting but they must very, very pretty. Even beauty is placed above age. We mus keep in mind that Bellucci is in her fifties!!!
This Italian actress has been the last signing.
All of them only appear in one film and leave room for others.
- CARS: Cars are one of Bond's soft spot. This feature has been a good way of advertising for Aston Martin, the British car manufactuting company.
"Q" is the person in charge of showing James all the special cars prepared for him and cars go together with the rest of the gadgets: the watch, the mobile phone,... all made for the occasion.
- THE ACTOR: All of them have become very famous. Playing Bond can be tiring as many spectators assossiate actors with the character for life!!!!
From Sean Connery to Daniel Craig, all of them have been handsome, athletic,... they have followed the stereotype but evolution is evident!!! It is not just the colour of the hair or that sometimes Mr Craig does not wear a tuxedo... it is that James has entered the XXI century!!!
