Moonraker (1979)Roger Moore as James Bond In 'Moonraker', James Bond has a close encounter with the pet anaconda owned by megalomaniac Hugo Drax (played by Michael Lonsdale). After a struggling battle, Bond manages to stab and defeat the monstrous creature... Hugo Drax: "Why did you break up the encounter with my pet python?" James Bond: "I discovered it had a crush on me." It is often assumed that pets are like there owners. In this occasion, Hugo Drax's comparison to a snake is fitting due to his sinisterly sly nature. However, the physical crush from the anaconda could also raise questions with regards to Drax's (homo)sexuality, as the play on words implies a 'crush' of an emotional nature.

As a one-of-a-kind twenty-something film fanatic and culture vulture... I have a 1st Class Honours degree in English Literature with Film Studies & Media Cultures. Along with recently completing MA by Research in Film Studies, I aspire to be a film critic and yearn for the opportunity to roll around on the red carpet (with or without Christian Bale in his Batsuit). Always openly embracing films of all genres and nations, although anything Studio Ghibli related will always have a place in my heart. Believes normality is overrated!
