The Legendary JAMES BOND Movie Everyone Forgot
Рет қаралды 139,442
Күн бұрынAt FilmSpeak, we're BIG James Bond fans and so it's about time we shed some light on The Legendary James Bond Movie Everyone Forgot...Tomorrow Never Dies in a video essay!
Tomorrow never dies is the eighteenth Bond film in the franchise and the second James Bond movie for Pierce Brosnan. Directed by Roger Spottiswoode, Tomorrow Never Dies 007 also stars Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Pryce, Teri Hatcher, and Judi Dench. Media mogul Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce) wants his news empire to reach every country on the globe, but the Chinese government will not allow him to broadcast there. Carver doesn't take no for an answer and plans to use his media empire to fuel flames of war between the Western world and China. Thankfully, James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) is on to the insane news tycoon and travels to China to stop him with the help of Chinese secret agent Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh). While audiences may remember and revere Pierce Brosnan's first Bond movie Goldeneye, the sequel to his explosive debut often gets forgotten. Tomorrow Never Dies is arguably the most underrated and overlooked James Bond movie and has only scarily gotten more relevant with age. If it's been years since you watched the Tomorrow Never Dies movie or if you've never seen the second Pierce Brosnan James Bond movie, it's worth a revisit. Griffin (@griffschiller) explores and analyzes the legendary James Bond Movie Everyone Forgot and makes a case in this James Bond video essay for why Tomorrow Never Dies is an underrated James Bond movie!

My thoughts are keep your political views to yourself. I don't need to know about your hatred towards the right or conservative media. We had an entire summer of burning churches, violent riots, killings. Meanwhile the mainstream media lying headlines read "peaceful protests" as a building was literally burning and looters were robbing stores. So keep your politics to yourself.

My all time favorite James Bond scene is when he escapes after months of imprisonment and walks into a high class hotel looking like a bum with his unkempt hair and beard. However protrudes confidence and charm despite his current condition. He then gets a fancy room, cleans himself up and walks out of the hotel with a new haircut, a shave,and a new suit. That to me is James Bond.

I think it's party because people mistakenly think very serious characters are more realistic, but being very serious and lacking a sense of humor is one of the biggest things I believe make fictional characters less like real people.

Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan ARE James Bond as Ian Fleming imagined him; and no other actor enjoyed being James Bond more than Pierce Brosnan. He is the only one who never complained about filming workload, paychecks, Bond’s personality, and so on. Do the homework and compare Brosnan’s movies with Craig’s era: even the light is bluer (sadder) in the latter (Skyfall and its sequels). Of course, in Craig’s movies you get 500% more stunts, but James Bond is about glamour, intelligence, and passion for what he does while saving the world. It is not about a man’s struggle with midlife crisis and, on top of that, save the world, if you don’t mind, please, Mr. Bond?

But also understood one of its major flaws for me: GE's score of Serra is a lacklustre and detracts from film's atmosphere, while Arnold was fantastic as Bond composer and TND is one of his better works.

Maybe it was just me. In my Jr. and Sr. year of H.S. I spent half the day working on computers. This is going to age me but I don't care. I graduated in 1987. I was the top student two years in a row on those ancient machines. It came with perks though. If the teacher left the class everyone knew I was in charge. It also came with a recommendation to work at the IRS on the weekends while still going to school. I digress, I love this movie and wish more people would appreciate it what it accomplished. Peace

The line "There are no more enemies since the cold war ended" is kinda laughable after the War on Terror, but you remember the news in the 90s? Before it became sensationalized, in the lull between the Serial Killers, and the Spree Shooters. Let's forget about Saddam Hussein, what about Slobodan Milošević?

Still, the sentimentals is still there. Brosnan surely looks the part. And his films are FUN. For kid me, DAD was great, and I was later surprised by the amount of hate it gets.

I always liked TND precisely because even back then you could see where the whole '24 hour news' business model was heading; even good ole Aunty Beeb got sucked into it. It has created monsters; not Elliot Carver's (yet?) but it lead to 'fake news', alternative truth' and rampant egotism in the media mainly from one source: Murdoch.

Tomorrow Never Dies is my favourite Brosnan Bond film, even Goldeneye. Michelle Yeoh was a great addition to the series and I feel it is Brosnan's best performance in the role.

I love that you name dropped the end credits song in your script. It’s truly a shame that k.d. lang’s banger never made it to the title sequence.

This was an AWESOME vid! TND is definitely an underrated Bond film, and a terrific entry. I LOVE that you fell in love with Bond through the TND video game, as that's a Bond game that is also VERY underrated Carver has always been one of my personal FAVORITE Bond villains, as his plan for manipulation of the media was genius (and the perfect plan in a post-Cold War world). That was in 1997, YEARS before social media became a thing, and his plot is even more relevant today

Brosnan started out so strong end ended so weak that his two films in between often get overlooked. But TND is a great Bond film, and in several ways it is more "Bond-esque" than GoldenEye. One of the big improvements between GE and TND is the score. Eric Serra was not a good fit for Bond - David Arnold was PERFECT. About the only flaw in the TND score is the theme song which was apparently changed somewhat late in the game. Sheryl Crow's "Tomorrow Never Dies" is a decent tune - probably in the top half of my best Bond themes list, but KD Lang's "Surrender" is the best "rejected" Bond theme of all time. I can see why the change was made - Crow had more star power at the time - but neither of these songs had any potential to be a hit single outside of the film, and the fact that cues from "Surrender" appear throughout the rest of the score make it a better fit. No Bond film is perfect - and TND suffers from something that was common in the Brosnan films: A great idea that only gets lip service - often just abandoned. In DAD Bond gets captured and tortured - and it is all completely forgotten by the second act. In TWINE a man can feel no pain due to a bullet that will eventually kill him, and not only is there no payoff from that concept, but the man appears to actually feel pain in the final fight.... and in TND we have a former lover returning on the arm of the villain...but she is killed and never thought of again. This timidity to stray too far outside the proven formula strapped the Brosnan films and prevented them from reaching their full potential. This is something that was clearly remedied in the Craig films, but in my opinion they may have strayed too far and forgotten how Bond films are supposed to be fun. Brosnan had the right mix of Connery's toughness and Moore's charm, he could deliver the one-liners while still exploring deeper aspects of the character. He was held back by the scripts. Now that they have proven that you can step outside the comfort zones and still make a great Bond film, I hope they can find a more balanced tone for the next person to take on the roll.

I oddly think this movie is a lot of fun. i remember the one hand each motorcycle scene being kinda cool as a kid. As well as them jumping down building while the banner rips. It’s just cool. I also imagine despite it not being as good as goldeneye making a lot of money. Kinda the same way TDKR made more than TDK simply because of the latter being so beloved.

Easily my favorite Brosnan-era movie. The bmw car chase! Dynamic and incredibly fun. The bike chase! Original and exciting stunt extravaganza, with the coolest Bond girl. Pierce at his SMOOTHEST under pressure, whether it’s machine gun fire or a past lover. The modern suave professional just doing his job. The media controlling villain mixed with stealth technology is almost proper science fiction. For me, this movie has to be considered as one of the best implementations of the Bond formula.
