Detailed texual analysis on bond scene

The scene that i have chosen is on of the starting scenes with Bond with Judi dench at the start who is and remains throughout the series as the most powerful person in the bond movies as she tells bond what to do and is the only woman who retains their power in the bond movies.

At the start of this scene, M played by Judi Dench, keeps a close eye on the movements and actions of James Bond by having a microchip inserted into his arm to keep track of him. This is one of the most significant scenes in the movie has it shows what kind of and how much power some women do posses over the men in this movie. 'M' being the main person behind the operations, posses all of the power over James Bond and is the only person who pulls his strings. "We'll know where you are" is the signification to james bond and men in general that women posses most of the power in this movie and in the previous James Bond movies.

The next segment of the scene is the important first meeting of James bond and vesper lynd, who is played by Eva Green. "I am the money" is the first thing that is said in this significant meeting and that quotation shows the value of the women in this film. This is a very important saying from vesper lynd as it goes against the historical value of the female, which was to leave the bread-winning, the harder jobs and manual work to the male and the woman was supposed to stay at home and do the cooking, cleaning and looking after the husband, whereas in this scene she value herself, which is showing confidence and it gives Bond an indication of what confidnece she has.

The media language and the mise-en-scene in the scene gives a very indication also of what kind of a Bondgirl will be like in this movie. The fact that she is wearing black and is carrying a brief case shows that she is a very confident person but black also gives off the connotations of sectretive and mysterious, which we find out to be true later in the movie. The brief case carrying shows the business woman side of her character, which is who she goes into this mission as.

The next part of the scene is when both Bond and Vesper lynd are sitting down in the train and are both trying to guess the backgrounds of each person, and the fact that Bond and both Vesper lynd both guess right shows the equality of the two sexes, which was historically and issue in society as women were seen as being unequal to their male counterparts, which is probably what has prompted the change of characteristics and the change of personality in the more modern Bondgirl.

"You think of women as diposable pleasures rather than meaningfull pursuits". This quotation is very symbolic of the attitudes and the thoughts of the men towards women, at least that it what has been represented through the series of Bond movies and the women in this movie confonts the attitude which has historically and socialogically been an issue for a number of decades . This quotation shows the change in the position of the bondgirl as this bondgirl confronts bond, equals him in their first meeting and even goes as fae as calling him a "cold hearted bastard", showing her feelings towards men of his position and beliefs.

The media language during this scene changes even further as we later see at the end of this scene that vesper lynd changes her clothes and also her connotations from black and mysterious to white and pure and angelic. This shows to side to her personality, also the camera angle which is shown is looking directly at them from no particular angle, which shows the men as being equal to the women and at no particular level are the men more valuable or better than the women in these Bond movies.
