Spectre Trailer Breakdown - Everything You Missed And Need To See
The Train
In-joke galore! A train sequence that has Bond and a lady friend discussing his mental state (Casino Royale) while he wears a white suit with a red flower (Goldfinger) - this is exactly what that old-new ending of Skyfall promised. "Is this really what you want? Living in the shadows, hunting, being hunted, always alone." asks Swann, setting her up not only as a mental combatant to Bond, just as smart than him (if not more), but someone who clearly understands him on an underlying level. "I don't stop to think about it." replies Bond, which is exactly what we've come to expect from the franchise - honest admittance of its heroes personality flaws, undercut by his self-perpetuating inability to address them. Here's hoping this thread is advanced, rather than just repeated, from Skyfall. And here's the reason why Bond can't stop to think about it. As already briefly discussed, this party's crashed by Hinx and a fight ensues. Notice how he can smash that pole without even flinching - how very Oddjob. The "oh of course he does" moment at the end of the trailer, where Bond and Swann finally get it on, appears to come from some part of this sequence - Bond is wearing a dinner shirt and the light shifts as if they're moving. Clearly all that fighting/bantering served as the perfect mood-setter.
