Review of Dr. No (1962) by Huseyn B — 03 Oct 2012

James Bond, 007 British intelligence must frustrate some doctors, but who wants to take over the world after the intervention of his secret organization of the spectrum in the U.S. missile system. The plot, which in various forms will then be repeated in the other series of "James Bond", though it was first used in the film by Terence Young, who became the founder of the popular series (he also took second and fourth in this series.) Addressing retrospectively to basics kind kinokomiksa spyware, knowing as it developed in the future, we can say that technically "Dr. No" seems to be old-fashioned - and that's for everyday surroundings, clothing characters, etc. A little naive chase scene , fights and other effective actions that can cause one to smile at the audience, who are accustomed to modern hard fighters.

Still, there appeared a new type kinogeroya - "ironic knight without fear and without reproach," of course, Superman, a handsome man who always wins enemies, but even more - thanks to the exceptional luck, their own resourcefulness and never loses his sense of humor the most difficult and seems completely hopeless situation. Young, then 32-year-old Sean Connery, the first performer of the 007, still trying on the image of a successful and unflappable gentleman in an elegant suit, which did not win once, but always - in the final seconds, and wins women's hearts, sometimes very risky getting under the power of charming charms. James Bond like deliberately complicates his life, turning it into an endless chain of adventures, and then get out, being already on the verge of death. "Hero bezgeroynogo Time" (for the exact definition of Maya Turov) hardly heard of "borderline situation" and the problem of existence. But this is not entirely serious, adventurous character, the player behaves like a little parody of the existential individual who is walking as if nothing had happened on the edge of the abyss, feeling the fullness and meaning to such a dangerous existence.

Although the box office "Dr. No", especially in the U.S. (only $ 16.1 million - however, at current prices, that amount would be about $ 160 million), in terms of numbers were not impressive, the first series of "James Bond" was able to exceed its ridiculous budget (only $ 1.1 million) is 54 times (!) through the global box office. It is no surprise that filmmakers continue to shoot immediately rushed to the 007. Over the next forty-five years there was another 21 series, that is, on average, almost on the film for two years.
