Culture event one

With my cultural events, I decided to attend different types of events and explore new things. The first one is normal to me, but I felt I could relate the film to my project. This past weekend, I went to the theaters to see the new Bond movie SKY FALL. My film is based on this character which he thinks he is a detective so I thought why not.

The Bond series has been going for so long, that it's impressive how they managed to keep it going. I really enjoyed this movie and two things stand out about it. This film seemed darker and kept me very attentive throughout the film. This is the first time where I saw Bond seem old or even vulnerable. It wasn't the Bond that we come to known over the years. Even a little more realistic in some cases, I almost thought that he could die. It didn't happen though, it would've been a short film if he did die.

A few key things I noted from the film; music, good vs bad, scenes. All the norms that come in spy/detective movies I saw in this film. It was really excited to compare my film with this one and see all the norms I put a twist on. I switched the music for the protagonist and his fellow opposite. Made a simple situation into a serious situation, but all as a perception. The use of objects to represent past events, in SKY FALL they brought back an old Bond car from the Gold finger movie.

It was definitely a different type of James Bond, but it was very well done. The next event I did was a play from the Shakespeare's time......
