'Historically, James Bond movies have confirmed Laura Mulvey's theory. Is that still the case today?
Casino Royale (Metro goldwyn mayer and Columbia pictures), is a re-make of the first James bond movie and it reconstructs the concept of only women being objectified in the movies, as it produces glimpses of men being put to the backboard of sexual objectification. The settings throughout the movie is a key factor in the presentations of gender, as the movie has been shot in exotic places it places more contradiction upon the sexual objectification, as people who have achieved the status of roaming around exotic places would not have to be objectified. The narrative to this Bond movie is no different than the typical narrative of a Bond movie, good vs evil, good being played by Bond, who even though trying to save the world has time to spend with the opposite sex, which often leads to his downfall.
