Narrative

The whole concept of the movie is to show the first episode of Bond in a more modern way because Casino Royale is a remake of the original movie, which was the first in the bond series. The narrative is a linear narrative as it moves on and keeps moving on foward without any flashbacks which keeps the story and the text more organised and less confusing for the audience.

The audience is very much nowhere in relation to the narrative, unless the audience members are rich and have alot of material things to show for, there can not be a personal relationship or personal identity to the film as it is set in the Monaco and Montenegro area. The audience can however relate to the text if they aspire to be like someone in the text.

The heroes and the villians are not that hard to create as James Bond will always be the hero along with the 'Bondgirl' and the villian is always looked up by MI6 as being the main target, so in that aspect the hero is not created but the villian is in a way created by MI6. The hero being James Bond will have the most important narrative function as he is the narrative as he is envolved with everything that happens in the movie.

The main ideologies of the narrative are good will always overcome evil as shown by the narrative, which shows exactly that with at the end of everything James Bond overcomes everthing to be perfectly fine. Even though in most of scenes there is no divide between the wealthy and the middle class people the settings in the whole movie are aimed to show the wealthy nature of the movie with the big houses, casino's and the fast cars.
