3. An Explanation Of The Drilling Torture
Every Daniel Craig Bond movie needs a properly grim torture sequence, and in Spectre Bond endures a pretty severe going-over at the hands of Blofeld and his very accurate motorised drilling machine. The first bit of drilling was meant to muck about with Bonds balance, and the second was meant to mess with his ability to recognise people. There was a little bit of toying with the conceit, but it was all passed over rather quickly. Does that mean that Blofeld was making empty boasts? Or do we assume that Bonds brain just made of sterner stuff than anyone elses? An explanation, even one pulled out of Bond's big bag of pseudo-technological nonsense, would've helped a bit. Id kind of hoped that Bond was blagging being able to recognise Madeleine, and that while he attempted to sort out Blofelds diabolical scheme itd gradually become clear to her that he didn't have a clue who she was. Itd be like a sitcom where the useless husbands trying desperately to convince his long-suffering wife that he hasnt forgotten their anniversary, except with more explosions and no canned laughter. At any rate, watching Bond attempt to get out of a supervillains lair while wobbling about like hed just sunk ten pints and taken a spin on a childrens roundabout wouldve been absolute cinema gold.
