20 Easter Eggs You Somehow Missed In Quantum Of Solace
20. This Is Business
Fans often debate the Bond Girl status of Olga Kurylenko's Camille Montes Rivero, as she barely even falls for the charms of Daniel Craig's James Bond.
As Craig himself noted, it would have been unrealistic for Bond to sleep with virtually every woman he meets in this film as he is trying to avenge the death of his lover, Eva Green's Vesper Lynd; indeed, he only seduces Gemma Arterton's Strawberry Fields to avoid being forced to return to London.
Likewise, Camille only sleeps with Mathieu Amalric's Dominic Greene so that she can get closer to the man who murdered her family: General Medrano (JoaquĆn Cosio). Even though Bond and Camille joke about using sex to accomplish their mission objectives, they do not sleep together and their relationship gradually develops into one of mutual respect.
This is similar to the working relationship that Sean Connery's James Bond had with Japanese Secret Service operative, Kissy Suzuki (Mie Hama) in 1967's You Only Live Twice. Kissy repeatedly rebuffed Bond's advances and, despite briefly falling into his arms on the slopes of a volcano, she only really caved in to his charms in a rubber dinghy at the end of the mission.
The fact that Camille shares a brief kiss with Bond at the end of the film and they then immediately go their separate ways helps to demonstrate the mutual respect that they have for each other in perhaps the most adult of all of Bond's onscreen relationships.
