Bond Girls
Bond: Who are you?Mystery woman: My name is Pussy GaloreBond: I must be dreaming There were always two types of Bond girls; those who were easily charmed by Bond and those who were strong, independent women, but still ended up being bedded by Bond. Ms Galore is probably among the best Bond girls. She works for Goldfinger but following one night of passion with 007, she immediately switches sides and helps the Americans. Eva Greens portrayal of Vesper Lynd was wonderful. Unlike Olga Kurylenko in the follow-up, Lynd was flawed, emotionally damaged and reflected Craigs Bond perfectly. Two different Bond girls, but both are classic. One of the most memorable moments in Bond history is Honey Ryders emergence from the sea in Dr No, which highlights how important and key Bond girls are to the series. One of the key differences is not in the films, but in the audience. In the original films Sean Connery would give a girl a slap on the arse, mutter man talk and dismiss his latest conquest when things got serious. Well, that was the 60s and now that is not only discouraged, but would probably end up with 007 being charged with sexual harassment. In Goldeneye the first Pierce Brosnan entry - M said: I think you're a sexist, misogynist dinosaur. A relic of the Cold War, whose boyish charms, though wasted on me, obviously appealed to that young woman I sent out to evaluate you. It summed up why Bond girls and 007 had to change.
Since then the girls have had a more key role in the plot. In The World Is Not Enough a movie often voted amongst the worst in the series - Elektra King is one of the primary villain; although Denise Richards was cast as a nuclear scientist, which pretty much sums up the movie. Despite the film being disappointing it showed a change in Bond girls, who now have their own stories. Honey Ryders whole involvement was based on her picking shells on a beach.
Vesper Lynd: All right. By the cut of your suit, you went to Oxford or wherever. Naturally you think human beings dress like that. But you wear it with such disdain. My guess is you didn't come from money and your school friends never let you forget it, which means that you were at that school by the grace of someone else's charity. Hence that chip on your shoulder. And since you're first thought about me ran to orphan, that's what I'd say you are
