It's perfect.. Walking at rooftops, adjusting the handcuffs and assembling the weapon. It's some kind of dance.. It's mesmerizing, just the pinnacle of what a man should be and act.. Too bad that's in the past...
Vu Nguyen yea it’s true but there was a dude seen leaving there once . Locals say he has a rep around town as a well known muff growler. Can’t confirm it but sounds believable
My friend joked that he was hoping at the end of the pre-credits sequence, Bond would fly the helicopter back the hotel room and proceed to bang the woman. That would be a very Bond thing to do.
@Sounak Nandy As someone who absolutely can't stand Craig's Bond this is brilliant.... It's the only time in 5 movies that he's actually looked like James Bond in the form of Brosnan and Connery (Proper Bonds)
Paul Wartenberg Yes sir! It's a beautiful shot (positive it wasn't one take, some editing helped it out), the soundtrack is amazing, Danny's on top form and the action is exhilarating
It is a cut. They used Mexico City's Grand Hotel. And the building that the camera "goes in to" is a different building. It's not even a hotel, I believe.
This for me is the best part of the scene - that Big Band gets going subtlely playing the James Bond Theme , it's just superb - listening to it with headphones on you don't miss a note - I'm going to go against the grain here saying it's the best Bond film after Skyfall . Opinions eh ?
@@jenniewilliams9066 it's a fantastic scene. And my favorite part is that music transition. The movie as a whole has a lot of problems though. Still like it, but it's probably the worst writing in all of Craig's films.
As someone who is studying film, this opening shot is a masterpiece. I truly love the scenery, and how they set the scene without needing to say anything
There are a mistake. In the elevator, the viewer feels like there are three person I mean de camera man. Because they wait till de camera goes inside to activate it. Then when it arrives they wait till the camera man goes out to start walking. After that they dont close the door of the room as a normal movement because they wait till the cameraman gets in. It feels so intrusive.
+Movie Maker Personally for me, I think it is a very good Bond film but not great. I agree that the script is weak, Lea Seyoux's character is very underwritten and that the nostalgia can get in the way at times. However thanks to the crisp cinematography, gorgeous locations, performances, entertaining action, humor and set pieces it does hold out strong in spite of its flaws. So it's pretty much a guilty pleasure for me. 7/10
+Kyle Sofia Nolan To be fair it was highly unlikely they could of topped Skyfall...it was the 50th anniversary after all, despite what you say it is one of the highest grossing bond films made thus far so it isn't nearly as much as a disappointment as you are saying. I do agree that it had its rough patches here and there and some of the worst cliches imaginable, but me and my friends loved it when we went to see it, there is no such thing as a bad bond film.
+JayCee I'm inclined to agree with you on how unlikely it could topped Skyfall. As a fan of Skyfall I think one would have to appreciate that once Sam Mendes set the bar high with one of highest grossing and most critically acclaimed bond film to date, the pressure is on to meet expectations and sometimes that can contribute to a directors downfall in a sequel. Take JJ Abrams Star Trek: Into Darkness for example, he was met with acclaim with his 2009 reboot (while having some backlash from hardcore Trekkies or Trekkers) only leading himself to create a film that is not as strong as its predecessor. The same could be said for Peter Jackson when he directed The Hobbit trilogy. The schedule and pressure was so intense that the result was not so withstanding. The point is that I think its best not to expect too much (we're all entitled to our opinions either cause film is subjective) from an anticipated follow up.
@Ja Herrera It's not a grenade launcher at all, it's a glock pistol with a carbine kit conversion, he just fired to the explosive that the bad guys were going to use to blow up the stadium, he even shot some bullets to them before the explosion. When I first saw this at the theater I didn't understand, but I knew that the gun was just a pistol so I quickly understood what happened, it's actually a momentum thing, really cinematographic (it's made on purpose to create that reaction on the public)

And for Beijing, smog color, and not much else visible.

Fun fact: This festival didn't exist when the movie was filmed, but it attracted so many tourists from all around the world that the government decided to organize one
They got the idea to add a parade to the festival from the movie a member of the government saw it in the theater and thought it would be cool to add a parade to the festival
This was probably one of the coolest scenes throughout not just this Bond movie, but the hole Bond series. It sounded awesome in the cinema, and the music was brill.

Fun fact: Mexico City didn't have a Day of the Dead parade until they shot this film there. Since then, on the very first weekend of November they make one to celebrate. The original props from the movie are even used for it. Thanks James Bond!
Rakeesh Kolokolo there’s a difference between day of the dead and a day of the dead parade. Dia de los muertos is a Mexican holiday, whilst the parade was created to celebrate it. Two different things.
Just for fact his leg was broken at this time and during this scene he was in extreme pain. Daniel Craig had two choices one whether to delay shooting for 9 months ( 12 weeks for physiotherapy alone for him to walk and run properly), He was back on set in 2 weeks. Daniel Criag will remain the best bond in entire series.
@@VidVoyeur612 Same thing was said after Brosman left, who to me was the one I grew up with. I think whoever is next should be a somewhat unknown actor so that they can "become" JB, instead of the problem that someone like Ryan Reynolds has now, in which he's forever Deadpool now, even when playing Detective Pikachu, you still herd Deadpool.
@@djdsf I mean, Daniel saved the franchise and that too by changing the presentation of the character on a whole. So the successor of Craig is the successor the savior of the Bond franchise.
I must say that the music producers of this movie did such an incredible job. I remember watching the intro from the cinema and my god I felt the tension and adrenaline.
This scene is unbelievable... prolly my favorite bond scene... thr way he puts on the silencer as he is stepping over the building gaps all why walking chill and looking debonair... just outstanding
For those wondering, there appear to be four concealed cuts in this scene. 0:51 - A man in a hat walks by covering almost the entire shot. 1:25 - A closeup of a poster, perfect place to hide a cut. 2:21 - Some people walk by, blocking the shot. 2:48 or 3:02 - A shot of a blank room and a transition through a window. Let me know if you find any more.
Look at these Film Study Dweebs. They watch the movie without really watching the movie. Take it all in rather than focusing on the process, must suck to watch a movie being focused on such silly things.
The drums over this mariachi song, El Son de La Negra, for when they arrive to the hotel and La Llorona, when they step out of the elevator, are just in fucking point
*bond screenwriters and director talking* so how do we make it known that were in mexico? Day of the dead? a title card that says Mexico city? SEPIA FILTER! director: "it's perfect, por que no los tres?
+lawrence no they didn't. its day of the dead to cash in on the whole theme of spectre - ghosts from the past and the dead are alive. Its in mexico because thats where day of the dead is. no head beating
I only found out that this sound is amazing after using a proper headphones, end replayed this scene with good sub-woofer. Until now I never noticed it was so good.
I would like this a million times if I could. Cuaron would visually bring out the most badass looking bond film, and we’ll be wondering why the fuck is was so hard to do to begin with.
I mean, it would be strange for Cuarón to make this type of movie since for the most part his films are thought provoking,unique pieces of cinema and not full of action like a Bond movie, but considering his talent, he would certainly make one hell of a movie.
I loved Spectre and this was a fabulous way to open the film, Sam Mendes terrific job here! Really throiws you right in and the continuous shot really works.! :D

Where he says “I won’t be long” and walks out onto the ledge..... they have merged two shots into one there. Look at his right wrist. Shirt cuff not showing as he says that, then it is showing when he walks out on to the ledge. The magic of movie making. 😉
@@DunkIeosteus bird man has like 15 cuts by the end of the film. I would say the majority of it is “one” shot but bird man is a bad example because the ending does have obvious cutting. I think the first film to truly do it was Russian Ark, which was filmed completely in 3 takes (2 rehearsal I think). You also have Rope (1948) which was 9 takes (or setups in this case) that were edited together to make it seem like one (though it’s usually a simple fade to black by going behind a shirt or object). Then you have 1917, which seems like it is completely “one “ take. ( reason for quotation marks is it isn’t actually one take, but multiple takes that are seamlessly edited together to mimic a single take). But overall, they are all still fascinating in their own way.
+Dufffaaa93 Ive been studying this scene so many times already. Trying to determine not only the cuts but the copy and paste, cloning, CGI and other photoshop wonders they've done for this scene
+rycka1983 Hey hommie, i was in the movie as an extra, the 1:25 cut was made with a green screen "door" with marks, the camera crane stoped a few seconds after the entrance, and replaced with the interior of "Gran Hotel de México" wich contains a beautiful roof and elevator. the second cut was made with simple masking out another croma.
1:47 The gray-suited Mexican man in the elevator is actually a cameo by young Tenoch Huerta, the first actor to portray Namor the Sub-Mariner in a Marvel Comics movie.
Why...? Nothing fucking happened. There's way more single shot takes where fuck loads of choreography, stunts, all sorts of shit going on. This scene? A guy... walking. Yeaaaa, you need to see some actually good movies.
I love this whole scene, I have even made the full costume for Halloween ha ha. As many times as I have watched this, the quick change from the skeleton to the suit {and black shirt to white} just evaded me
Saicon roiko Se supone que están por bellas artes y la Torre Latinoamericana no? Bueno las construcciones las va a encontrar pero lo demás no creo 😂 Al menos que vaya al desfile de Día de muertos XD
This guys doesn’t even answer you in English, and I doubt they know Mexico City. I’m from Mexico City, and of course Mexico City is like this because this was shot in Mexico 🇲🇽 City. The parade does exists too, along which a lot of celebrations of Day of the Death across the city and the whole country.
Spectre has the best pre title sequence in the Craig era i think. Casino Royale and Skyfall have epic title sequences while NTTD has a lengthy and action packed opening. Quantum of Solace has an interesting but much too fast opening. But the effort and colour put into this and in addition the camera work make this the most memorable opening.
Anyone noticed that percussion sound used matches perfectly with the band and the female singer performing at the venue. Same tempo. It's the scene where they arejust entering the room together. Brilliant! Oh and the camera work in this scene! Magnificent!
@@fredis3347 As someone who absolutely can't stand Craig's Bond this is brilliant.... It's the only time in 5 movies that he's actually looked like James Bond in the form of Brosnan and Connery (Proper Bonds)
This is how a Hitman film should open. 47 in a disguise in the middle of a job, being smooth and precise; a good character intro. Minus the woman of course
Bond is standing stock still so your eyes are drawn to him in the throng from 0:20 despite being tiny at that point. Superbly planned and executed screenplay and photography.
Nobody is commenting on how seamless this was shot from the beginning. Outstanding Camera work and planning execution. Sometimes things are just so good that they are overlooked because they are invisible.
Always been a fan of Bond but after watching CASINO ROYAL I was a whole air conditioner. Hands down. What a time to be alive Daniel is the best bond ever. He will surely be missed.
I'm so glad that tracking shots have replaced shaky cam and dutch angles as the new film technique fad. Tracking shots are pleasant to the eye. The other two just make me want to throw up in the theater. (Seeing the first Hunger Games movie in IMAX was not a pleasurable experience, even though I enjoyed the movie as a whole. So much shaky-cam...) I saw Spectre at the Seattle Cinerama and by the time this shot was over, I had already gotten my money's worth. (But I went ahead and enjoyed the rest of the movie anyway.)
I just read up on this. First cut is at 1:25, second cut is at 2:21 when the people walk past. Then the room is at Pinewood Studios and there's another cut at 3:01 when he goes out the window. And then some of that rooftop is CGI because the rig and movement would be impossible.
2:52-2:58 Great scene way it was done comical brilliant She gazes down to lay on the bed looking enchanting in the moment and poetically gazes up to see Bond’s with his suit on a gun strapp around his shoulder walking towards the window lol @ her facial reaction. Bond never came back & she would have never guessed how he made his exit that day from that city lol hands down great scene crafty shot. Her acting was brilliant as well
I heard in reality there is no parade like this in day of the dead. But in order to not disappoint the tourist that thought this was real, Mexico started the parade after the movie came out. Now that’s the true service.
It doesn't take away from the greatness of this shot at all, but it is not shot in one take. I counted at least 3-4 separate scenes stitched together. They're nearly seamless though, you have to be looking for them to see them. First stitch: 1:25 when they walk off the street into the hotel and the camera focuses on the poster for a moment. Second stitch: 2:22 when they're approaching the door to their room and a group of people pass by the camera (stitch happens as fourth person passes). Third stitch: 3:02 when he climbs out the hotel room window onto the ledge and the camera passes through the other window (though I'm less certain of this last one).

@Donald Trump lol damn trump take it easy bro
@Donald Trump Well you're not that far from McDonald's, seeing your recent impeachment gossip.😁
Christopher D, Brilliant scene, for a few moments I thought I was watching proper Bonds like Brosnan and Connery but then he did his normal Craig Bond routine and fell in love again
I do that.
This intro and music describes perfectly what Bond is. Great actor, great film, great legacy, great music. Classy, elegant, awesome.
Fun fact: This festival didn't exist when the movie was filmed, but it attracted so many tourists from all around the world that the government decided to organize one
Me reading this after going to see the festival...
And the "festival" happened this 2021
The festival has been happening for many centuries just not like this as a parade in mexico city.
The festival was the wednesday 2022
They got the idea to add a parade to the festival from the movie a member of the government saw it in the theater and thought it would be cool to add a parade to the festival
3:05 the style and class he brought to the character even in the action scenes, Daniel is the best Bond, period

This was probably one of the coolest scenes throughout not just this Bond movie, but the hole Bond series. It sounded awesome in the cinema, and the music was brill.

Fun fact: Mexico City didn't have a Day of the Dead parade until they shot this film there. Since then, on the very first weekend of November they make one to celebrate. The original props from the movie are even used for it.
Thanks James Bond!
??
@Rakeesh Kolokolo you're wrong and should check your facts. Day of The Dead parade has never been held in Mexico City until this movie was released.
Rakeesh Kolokolo there’s a difference between day of the dead and a day of the dead parade. Dia de los muertos is a Mexican holiday, whilst the parade was created to celebrate it. Two different things.
Rakeesh Kolokolo yes, pls check facts! You are wrong! 🤦🏻♂️
That was a fuckin lie
Just for fact his leg was broken at this time and during this scene he was in extreme pain. Daniel Craig had two choices one whether to delay shooting for 9 months ( 12 weeks for physiotherapy alone for him to walk and run properly), He was back on set in 2 weeks. Daniel Criag will remain the best bond in entire series.
Yeah, I hope the next Bond is cast with careful consideration because it'll be tough to even match Daniel Craig.
@@VidVoyeur612 Same thing was said after Brosman left, who to me was the one I grew up with.
I think whoever is next should be a somewhat unknown actor so that they can "become" JB, instead of the problem that someone like Ryan Reynolds has now, in which he's forever Deadpool now, even when playing Detective Pikachu, you still herd Deadpool.
@@djdsf I mean, Daniel saved the franchise and that too by changing the presentation of the character on a whole. So the successor of Craig is the successor the savior of the Bond franchise.
Did you know Quentin Tarantino had a rough draft screenplay written of Casino Royale but he told the producers he’d only do it if Brosnan returned?

I was 15 when i saw it with my dad.. Im 25 now having wife and 3 yo daughter.. Insane wow.. Amazing movie!
I must say that the music producers of this movie did such an incredible job. I remember watching the intro from the cinema and my god I felt the tension and adrenaline.
This scene is unbelievable... prolly my favorite bond scene... thr way he puts on the silencer as he is stepping over the building gaps all why walking chill and looking debonair... just outstanding
For those wondering, there appear to be four concealed cuts in this scene.
0:51 - A man in a hat walks by covering almost the entire shot.
1:25 - A closeup of a poster, perfect place to hide a cut.
2:21 - Some people walk by, blocking the shot.
2:48 or 3:02 - A shot of a blank room and a transition through a window.
Let me know if you find any more.
1:25 closeup it's because, in real life, it's not the same building where they got inside and the one with the stairs.
Hitchcock perfected the hidden break in Rope and Frankenheimer copied it in Ronin.
Look at these Film Study Dweebs. They watch the movie without really watching the movie. Take it all in rather than focusing on the process, must suck to watch a movie being focused on such silly things.

This scene is among the best of the entire film. So well done.

+lawrence no they didn't. its day of the dead to cash in on the whole theme of spectre - ghosts from the past and the dead are alive. Its in mexico because thats where day of the dead is. no head beating
The fucking drums at the beginning are fucking amazing
I only found out that this sound is amazing after using a proper headphones, end replayed this scene with good sub-woofer. Until now I never noticed it was so good.
One of the most epic openings of all time.
This opening makes me wish somebody like Alfonso Cuaron did a Bond movie.
alongside Emmanuel Lubezski. that would be top-tier filmmaking.
I would like this a million times if I could. Cuaron would visually bring out the most badass looking bond film, and we’ll be wondering why the fuck is was so hard to do to begin with.
I mean, it would be strange for Cuarón to make this type of movie since for the most part his films are thought provoking,unique pieces of cinema and not full of action like a Bond movie, but considering his talent, he would certainly make one hell of a movie.
@@flavio7180 His blockbusters are top tier, he'd kill it
This was so smooth and absorbing, I didn't even catch that it was a single tracking shot.
It’s made to look like one but it’s multiple shots put together to make a single long one
I loved Spectre and this was a fabulous way to open the film, Sam Mendes terrific job here! Really throiws you right in and the continuous shot really works.! :D

+itube0047 Fair enough and yes I've seen all 24 films 🎥 :)
Oli Pajak Read the books? I've only read Casino Royale and that was really good.
Now this director doing an entire film like this called 1917.
Birdman (2014)
Yes, but thankfully with a better cinematographer. Deakins wipes the floor with Hoytema.
Badtanman that was Alejandro Inaritu
@@eliasyarnall8099 I know, but birdman is worth checking out since it's one-take (well presented that way)
Badtanman I’m not sure if you’re into foreign films, but Victoria (2015) is a true one take movie that’s also worth checking out.
4 minutes "without cuts", this was a test for what will become 1917.
Actually, the first place is "Tacuba" street and the door where they go inside the hotel is a store. The hotel is in another street next to the Zocalo. They made it like a single shot but are actually 3 diferent places
Where he says “I won’t be long” and walks out onto the ledge..... they have merged two shots into one there.
Look at his right wrist. Shirt cuff not showing as he says that, then it is showing when he walks out on to the ledge. The magic of movie making. 😉
Actually Birdman (2014) was the first movie to be all in a single shot with hidden cuts. Not 1917
There were many movies filmed earlier than Birdman with a single cut. Russian Ark is a great example
@@DunkIeosteus bird man has like 15 cuts by the end of the film. I would say the majority of it is “one” shot but bird man is a bad example because the ending does have obvious cutting. I think the first film to truly do it was Russian Ark, which was filmed completely in 3 takes (2 rehearsal I think). You also have Rope (1948) which was 9 takes (or setups in this case) that were edited together to make it seem like one (though it’s usually a simple fade to black by going behind a shirt or object). Then you have 1917, which seems like it is completely “one “ take. ( reason for quotation marks is it isn’t actually one take, but multiple takes that are seamlessly edited together to mimic a single take). But overall, they are all still fascinating in their own way.
Because of this movie beginning, I really want to visit Mexico!!! Great culture experience!
Whenever YOU WILL BE WELCOME EVERY STATE HAS SOMETHING TO OFFER🌺💟
❤️ lots of good food and spicy 🌶
I loved this film. This scene was an absolutely amazing work of cinematography.
A one shot with only two hidden cuts. That's beautiful.
Two CTS where?
Amazing how the theme was blended in....Best James Bond theme ....
This, for me, ranks up there with Indy being chased by a giant stone ball as one of the best film opening sequences.
1:25 first cut
3:02 second cut
+Dufffaaa93 well done sir
+Dufffaaa93 Ive been studying this scene so many times already. Trying to determine not only the cuts but the copy and paste, cloning, CGI and other photoshop wonders they've done for this scene
ruizj2006 And what did you find out???
+rycka1983 stitching
+rycka1983 Hey hommie, i was in the movie as an extra, the 1:25 cut was made with a green screen "door" with marks, the camera crane stoped a few seconds after the entrance, and replaced with the interior of "Gran Hotel de México" wich contains a beautiful roof and elevator. the second cut was made with simple masking out another croma.
Very clever editing to make it appear as one continuous shot
The fact that he stills have his legs hurt while filming this scene makes this more epic
This film has aged well, I watched it for the second time yesterday and I thought it was much better than when I saw it in the cinema back then.
1:47 The gray-suited Mexican man in the elevator is actually a cameo by young Tenoch Huerta, the first actor to portray Namor the Sub-Mariner in a Marvel Comics movie.
Hahaha. She whispers something in his ear and the look he slowly turns and gives her under the skull mask is fire. 😅 Solid acting.
I actually really liked this movie. such a cool intro.
One of THE most badass scenes you will ever see in a film.
Why...? Nothing fucking happened.
There's way more single shot takes where fuck loads of choreography, stunts, all sorts of shit going on.
This scene? A guy... walking. Yeaaaa, you need to see some actually good movies.
@@burner9481 Bro calm down. I was talking about the way he’s so swag while walking. I’m not comparing it to actual like badass fight scenes and shit.
Fantastic shot. He's not even walking across the roof. You can see it's green screen, but so well done.
I love this whole scene, I have even made the full costume for Halloween ha ha. As many times as I have watched this, the quick change from the skeleton to the suit {and black shirt to white} just evaded me
Best One-Shot-Scene in Movie History!!!
Next to the tracking shot in Avengers (2012).
+Anthony Caraballo yeah but that likely involved a ton of cgi. this looks to be done entirely with practical effects.
+Movie Guy Umm have you seen Birdman?
+Luke Tumblin Yes. Fantastic Movie!
+Movie Guy amazing camera work
how this scene is done without any cuts or shaking cam is incredible
Ran Dom how?
1:26 is likely to be a cut; you could easily stop shooting at the poster and start again without the audience noticing
2:22 is possibly one as well as the guy walks in front of the camera
Abby J 2:57 is probably one too
Three: the poster, the man passing before they enter, and Craig exiting through the window.
I wanna go to Mexico City and be the next Bond-villain with this kind of Music in the background. Yeah

This guys doesn’t even answer you in English, and I doubt they know Mexico City. I’m from Mexico City, and of course Mexico City is like this because this was shot in Mexico 🇲🇽 City. The parade does exists too, along which a lot of celebrations of Day of the Death across the city and the whole country.
Hope you can fly a copter
Man. The suit just looks perfect on him.
Spectre has the best pre title sequence in the Craig era i think. Casino Royale and Skyfall have epic title sequences while NTTD has a lengthy and action packed opening. Quantum of Solace has an interesting but much too fast opening. But the effort and colour put into this and in addition the camera work make this the most memorable opening.
Say what you will about this film, but this opening sequence is astonishing. Even the intro text had suspense.
Anyone noticed that percussion sound used matches perfectly with the band and the female singer performing at the venue. Same tempo. It's the scene where they arejust entering the room together. Brilliant! Oh and the camera work in this scene! Magnificent!
In my opinion this is the best James Bond opening.
Like the way he is walking.
Yeah for sure
@@fredis3347 As someone who absolutely can't stand Craig's Bond this is brilliant....

Bond is standing stock still so your eyes are drawn to him in the throng from 0:20 despite being tiny at that point.
Superbly planned and executed screenplay and photography.
That was a greatly done shot
Nobody is commenting on how seamless this was shot from the beginning. Outstanding Camera work and planning execution. Sometimes things are just so good that they are overlooked because they are invisible.
the camera work is astounding
Always been a fan of Bond but after watching CASINO ROYAL I was a whole air conditioner. Hands down. What a time to be alive Daniel is the best bond ever. He will surely be missed.
I'm so glad that tracking shots have replaced shaky cam and dutch angles as the new film technique fad. Tracking shots are pleasant to the eye. The other two just make me want to throw up in the theater. (Seeing the first Hunger Games movie in IMAX was not a pleasurable experience, even though I enjoyed the movie as a whole. So much shaky-cam...) I saw Spectre at the Seattle Cinerama and by the time this shot was over, I had already gotten my money's worth. (But I went ahead and enjoyed the rest of the movie anyway.)
I like the way Snrub thinks.
@I drink your milkshake Winter Soldier had a Bourne style directing.And it worked for that movie.
Y
watching Spectre and No Time to Die really makes you appreciate how far the series has come in terms of action
I just read up on this. First cut is at 1:25, second cut is at 2:21 when the people walk past. Then the room is at Pinewood Studios and there's another cut at 3:01 when he goes out the window. And then some of that rooftop is CGI because the rig and movement would be impossible.
I'm pretty sure that cut around 2:21 isn't a cut, it would be difficult to make it look as streamlined as it is.
+Michael Challinoir Wow then, that's really cool, I'm impressed.
+HoustonProductions1 still managed to use long takes
+HoustonProductions1 Could something like that be filmed with a drone?
+RolasitalufanaiLT Yes but it would be noticed. I was thinking of a long big crane to take the shot at first but it was green screened.
"If only the whole movie was as good as this scene." That is quite a bold statement, sir.
The best intro I have ever seen in a movie
The waking with the camera as if it is one shoot with the music
That is a pice of art
Very inspirating shot with lot of style. Great work by the team.
2:52-2:58 Great scene way it was done comical brilliant She gazes down to lay on the bed looking enchanting in the moment and poetically gazes up to see Bond’s with his suit on a gun strapp around his shoulder walking towards the window lol @ her facial reaction.
Bond never came back & she would have never guessed how he made his exit that day from that city lol
hands down great scene crafty shot. Her acting was brilliant as well
Man, Bond in that skull mask looks so badass! 💀
I have to say, this is one of my favorite opening scenes from any of the Bond movies.
I just realised now why the scene is so compelling - It is one scene single scene with one camera. Genius.
I heard in reality there is no parade like this in day of the dead. But in order to not disappoint the tourist that thought this was real, Mexico started the parade after the movie came out.
Now that’s the true service.
ugh, this film is so underrated already. I totally dug it
maybe for you, subjectivity man *****
+BOB BURNS There's no such thing as "poor taste". Everyone is allowed to enjoy what they want.

+BOB BURNS Please don't tell me you thought Skyfall was the best Bond at least...
My Favourite Opening Scene in Bond Franchise 😍👌
And the music! Perfecto!
It doesn't take away from the greatness of this shot at all, but it is not shot in one take. I counted at least 3-4 separate scenes stitched together. They're nearly seamless though, you have to be looking for them to see them. First stitch: 1:25 when they walk off the street into the hotel and the camera focuses on the poster for a moment. Second stitch: 2:22 when they're approaching the door to their room and a group of people pass by the camera (stitch happens as fourth person passes). Third stitch: 3:02 when he climbs out the hotel room window onto the ledge and the camera passes through the other window (though I'm less certain of this last one).
It's nice that evvverybody has got into it and are in fantastic costumes and it's not just most people in shorts taking selfies.
