Spectre
SCORE: 61
I just finished off The Daniel Craig
Collection by watching Spectre. That means the only Daniel Craig 007
James Bond film I am missing is No Time to Die. It is a bit odd that
they did a collection before he was done doing Bond movies. I knew that
coming into this film collection so I have no one to blame but myself. I
could have waited a year and tried to get the full five film collection.
Spectre is an interesting film that I do not recall ever seeing before.
Spectre is all about how obsolete the double O program actually is. The
government can spy on people using their own cameras and cell phones in
Spectre. Drone strikes can be used to take out targets. A private
business man with a secret past funds this spying campaign so he can
participate in watching. Spectre reflects some of the things that have
happened in society in recent years.
The issues families will have with Spectre are violence, blood, bad
language, enticement to lust, lack of attire, sex outside of marriage,
deceit, theft, lies, nudity in the intro scene and more. There is plenty
of action and some humor within Spectre as well. Daniel Craig gives us
some nice one liners here and there in Spectre. James Bond plays things
really close to the vest in Spectre. He is not sure whom he can trust.
SPOILER ALERT! We learn about James Bond past within Spectre. After his
parents died he was taken in by another family. One of the boys of that
families is the main bad guy in Spectre. He thought James Bond was a
cuckoo bird. A cuckoo bird lays its egg in the nest of another bird. The
baby cuckoo bird hatches first and pushes out the eggs of the existing
family. I never understood why he thought James Bond was like that as a
child.
There are not as many gadgets in Spectre as previous Bond movies. There
are plenty of aspects of Spectre that bring the other movies full
circle. The ending of Spectre is very interesting indeed. There are
threads that are left open for the future. The death of a high up
ranking official is something I am very curious about. Especially after
the double O program was shut down in Spectre.
