I did not especially like No Time To Die when I first saw it but upon seeing it again, I found it inspiring and yours is the first analysis I’ve seen that goes into the depths of what I, too, saw in this movie. For me it was the themes of trust and loss, loss of innocence, loss of love, of living a worthwhile life. Your analysis opened up other themes I had not considered, connecting mythology and poetry. I am new to your channel and it’s quite a coincidence that you published this just as I was inspired to go looking for it. Well done. Thank you.
Thank you for this because I have been angry about this movie ever since I saw it. I couldn't help but think they "didn't understand the assignment" because . . . At the time, we watched Covid-19 shut the world down and death was all around us. Just when we could go back to movie theaters, we really needed our 'annual action injection' of the incredible death defying things James Bond does and the impossible fun of him coming through every danger to pump us up. What we got instead was more death. After nearly two years of waiting and death, it was just too much! They killed off Iron Man, John Wick, and they'll be killing off Ethan Hunt no doubt in M:I 8. It felt like such a betrayal. I had too much invested in Bond to be able to handle this inevitability at that time. With a few years' passing, I could maybe watch it again. Maybe, after watching this, with a new appreciation. But it feels like Titanic (I can never watch that again). At least I can stop hating it. LOL I really do love the Daniel Craig Bond series and have watched them all so many times. Quantum of Solace is criminally underrated. They are all excellent movies and well written, IMO, visually stunning and full of exciting action scenes. I think the QoS scaffolding fight is particularly genius!
Thanks for watching and leaving the thoughtful comment! Strangely enough I wanted to upload my Quantum of Solace video too but couldn’t get it past the guard rails, so right now that one lives on my page with the other ones in this series. I agree Quantum is really underrated and deeper than it gets credit for!
This was really good. Appreciate the thoughts shared here.
Thanks for watching!

I appreciate the kind words! Well said, trust is one I wish I thought of.
