"This is a Mission, Not a Fancy Dress Ball!" As well as being criminally underrated, The Living Daylights is also one of the most deliciously sneaky Bond films, packed with actual spying, facades, strategizing and deceptive manipulation. It's a complex cold-war spy thriller in its own right, with a duplicitous Hitchcockian romance at its core. Is Bond attracted to Kara, or just using her? Is she just using him? Once deceived, Bond's obsession with Koskov and his scheme leads him into an uncertain limbo middle-ground between life and death, truth and lies, innocence and guilt, East and West... where only instinct can be relied on.
"I've Planned This Out To The Last Detail..."Save The Darkness isn't about the production, marketing or behind the scenes trivia - it focuses far more on the complex inner workings of the actual story, characters, motives and plot dynamics. Explore the numerous curious patterns, motifs, themes and ambiguities, the scenes that can be interpreted from dual perspectives and other aspects which mirror and match each other. Did you realise the first and last deaths of the main film are preceded by whistling? There are 33 other significant things that happen twice in the film - including left shoes being removed, scenes inside toilets (that don't involve using one), characters pretending to be critical patients, rifles disposed of, clothes ripped from women or men falling to their deaths... The film starts and ends with Hercules planes, explosions, 4x4s falling, and KGB assassins dying. Then exactly half way through the film is a shattered mirror... In this detailed, fun analysis you can also explore:- How did the two villains meet up and develop such an elaborate plan?
- How did Necros know that Saunders would be at the fair?
- Did Koskov choose Bond as the sniper knowing he would miss?
- What was Kara's perception of events?
