007之诺博士

James Bond 像是欧美文化的一个元素，一个符号，总是在各种各样的地方看到他，比如说雅思考官Simon老师的各种雅思备考资料里，出现了太多次了，还有一次在Ted演讲中的一个speaker也有讲到，同时就增加了我的好奇心，到底是什么样的一个人物，而电影本身又有怎样的魅力让它刻在了观众的心里，看了电影之后又让我觉得James这个名字本身听起来就酷酷的，而我身边James确实也都是strong character，这样想来又有几分意思。 看的第一部James Bond film是最新的007无暇赴死，同样也延续了最初的这部电影，同样的办公室，同样的美女秘书，同样的陌生小岛，还有James Bond 的女人缘，这样的话会不会有很多男士是James Bond为偶像，just random question pop out in my head🤔

Sean真的好帅气，里面各种风格的女人really beautiful and attractive，I like it though also wodering is all the James Bond film using the similar storyline?And I will watch more.

还有当时的各种设备装饰，really amazed me，但是竟然已经有了电梯，上个世纪60年代，还有当时的座机电话，在中国我小的时候，也许2000年前后我家才有了座机电话，还有一本电话册子，上面印着每家每户的电话号码，这样想来中国的近现代时期真的和西方差距好大，但是我成长的20年见证了中国的巨大变化，really Advanced than western countries in many ways。

The inaugural movie of the James Bond franchise, Terence Young’s DR. NO sets the general tone and constitution of our beloved spy thriller, from its Maurice Binder designed, polka dots adorned main title sequence, its proverbial auditory theme, classic catchphrases like “Martini, shaken not stirred”, “My name is Bond, James Bond.”, to Bond’s raffish personality and his penchant for never allowing any carnal pleasure slip through his fingers during his precarious missions, and a small handful of Bond girls whose loyalty and fate might differ, but nonetheless, are all sexy symbols who have no moral oscillation to come across in front of such a specimen of gentleman, oozed with equal quantity of danger and appeal.

As a paradigm entertainment establishing the West’s nonpareil supremacy and superiority over the rest of the world, the franchise’s first outing is set in Kingston, Jamaica, where a Chinese-German criminal scientist, the titular Dr. No (Wiseman) has built a secret base operated with radioactive matters, and whose agenda is to sabotage USA’s Project Mercury. Sent to investigate the disappearance of a MI6 chief, Bond, deferential towards his superior M (Lee), takes the mission in stride, and is capable of smelling any funny business at short notice, even when facing a pestilent tarantula, he is phlegmatic enough to bide his time to turn the tables.

The impact of the iconic scene of a bikini-clad Honey Ryder (Andress) emerging from the sea wears off considerably for its pure female exploitation and unsparing male gaze, not that Connery is too niggardly to show off his well-built physique, only the fact that Honey doesn’t contribute anything to the plot is gnawingly sexist and patriarchal, she is advised by Bond to keep silent, carted away unceremoniously when Bond and Dr. No finish their cornball small talk and start to mean business.

Not that ethnic characters are treated with sizable respect or felicity, John Kitzmiller’s local ally Quarrel is the unsung hero with equal moxie but less fortunate kismet (and who can not tell a souped-up tank from a dragon); Wiseman’s Dr. No comes rather late on the scene and whose menacing guise plummets immediately into a laughing stock in a jiffy, when all he wants to do is to recruit Bond to the vile SPECTRE organization, it is really not worth the fuss for a mastermind of his caliber.

Grandstanding a rushed but functional action-packed climax, DR. NO might be the best outcome borne out of its very modest budget, but it does strike gold by finding a strapping leading man who hasn’t yet been hardened by the cynical nature of espionages and endless treachery under the pall of the Cold War, and Connery, is the ultimate coolth of any heterosexual man’s consummate ideal, who can always have his cake and eat it too.

全片看罢，个人对全片的观影感受如下:

1，首先这是第一部邦德电影，也是60年代初期的电影，而此片的预算也是很紧张（只有100万美元，只有第二部《来自俄罗斯的爱情》预算的三分之一），故在各个方面都无法令人满意，即使除去时代因素，也是这样。动作，剧情，道具，场景均显得生硬简陋。尤其是和第二部《来自俄罗斯的爱情》对比来看，可以看出第一部的许多不成熟之处。剧情乏善可陈，甚至在影片中段本人一度睡着。。。。。。。

2，第一位真正意义上的邦女郎出现的很晚，最后才以比基尼登场，经过一段没啥可说且简陋的的打斗戏后，邦德干掉反派诺博士。女主角几乎没有什么存在意义。

3，当时推出之后因为题材的新颖以及拍摄理念的先进，受到欢迎，但很多地方确实无法让现在的观众看进去（同时代的《金手指》，《来自俄罗斯的爱情》本人却无此巨大年代逾越感，并且相当喜欢），有鉴于此片的历史意义（第一部007呀!），故在个人心目中，在全系列24部中位列倒数第二
