Long ass title but oh well. I dont expect comments on this one so I'ma write as if I'm talking to myself(which I do a lot). Now, to be honest, when I walked out of the theater after seeing Quantum of Solace: the Latest James Bond flick(shout out to Rose for seeing it with me) I got like a good ass feeling. Why? Well, If you think back to any James Bond film or Action film you've seen, I dont think you could name many who consist of great action and political awareness in one. I cant really. Most of the movie takes place in Southern America and they have power hungry dudes tryna buy up resources and rape the country along with the American governments help which has been happening for awhile not only down there but in other countries. They even have a small element in there of a dictator or a general taking over a country and being backed or rather purposely unnoticed by the American government which also has happened sooo many times and continues to happen today(see Thailand and Madagascar and other countries)
What I think is dope about this, is that the creators of the story and the movie sneaked it in but not really. They fused something political without preaching to people with intense action and good actors. I know some people have a problem with the amount of action in the movie and that as soon as it starts its action, but isnt that how almost every James Bond film starts? And personally, I think the creators had to make up for that long ass poker game in Casino Roayle haha. And to be honest, I really thought it was better than Dark Knight.......but it they are two different types of movies. But as far as action....I think it was better. People dont really talk about the miss use of the poorer countries too much and it was surprising but cool to see it kinda talked about in an action film with a majority of the cast being from better off countries. I was reading BBC News(my new source for news) and it made me think about why I liked the movie so much. I dunno thats my say. Thanks for reading whether from email or on the site itself(on the actual site would be cooler but I understand) one niggaaaas =]
