Here the film highlights female eroticization where, Bond gives Vesper Lynd a ’skimpy’ dress to wear, to distract his opponent Le Chiffre from a high-stake card game allowing him
The climax of James Bond films After watching two James Bond films, Casino Royale and Tomorrow never dies, I found the way these two films handle climaxes are very different.

In Casino Royale, the first climax comes when James Bond got poisoned in the casino by his enemy Le Chiffre, he staggered ran out and called his colleagues seek for help. However, at this critical moment, he found the cable of the heart pacemaker
example, he’s not as adept at ‘free-running’ as his adversary. The new less-than-perfect Bond (he upsets M by killing an agent rather than capturing him) illustrates the new realism and his vulnerability, as we see later when he loses his heart to Vesper Lind, and is devastated by her apparent suicide.

Introduction When Vesper Lynd deduced that Bond typically saw his women as “disposable pleasures” rather than “meaningful pursuits”, she hit the nail on the head. Ian Fleming’s first spy thriller novel, ‘Casino Royale’ written in 1953 begins at the start of Bond’s career, and since then women in the film franchise have become a brand, with similar traits- sexy, glamorous and seducible, but
