Broccoli presents"), it was the second official James Bond film not produced by Broccoli himself. While undergoing heart surgery, Broccoli entrusted the making of the film and the forthcoming generation of James Bond films to his daughter Barbara Broccoli and stepson Michael G. Wilson, both of whom had been executive producers of previous James Bond films. GoldenEye was released in 1995 and directed by New Zealander Martin Campbell. Campbell would later sign to direct 2006's Bond film Casino Royale. NameWhile GoldenEye is technically the third original James Bond movie that doesn't contain any reference to an Ian Fleming novel or short story, the title comes from Fleming's Jamaican estate he dubbed "Goldeneye" where he wrote all the Bond novels. The estate could have been named "Goldeneye" for a number of reasons. The first is that the estate is located in Oracabessa, which some think may have been derived from the Spanish for 'golden head' (cabeza de oro). Fleming is also reported to have read Carson McCullers's novel Reflections in a Golden Eye around the time he had his house built in Jamaica. More notably, Fleming was in charge of the defence of Gibraltar during the Second World War; the operation dubbed by Fleming, Operation Goldeneye. In the film, "GoldenEye" is the code name of a secret Russian military satellite program, using two nuclear warhead equipped satellites named Petya and Mischa, which use electromagnetic pulse caused by their nuclear explosions in space to disable all electronic devices within a 30 mile radius of their target on Earth. A square-shaped disk with a translucent golden sphere in the centre authorizes the GoldenEye system to set a trajectory and target for each satellite.
OverviewGoldenEye is considered an important film in the Bond series in that it was successful in reviving interest in a character that many critics had suggested had become an anachronism in the post-Cold War world. The previous film, Licence to Kill, had been released in June 1989, before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Although it was financially successful and critically acclaimed, it was not as popular as previous Bond films, suggesting interest in the series was waning at that point. Judi Dench, the newly cast M, describes Bond as a "sexist, misogynist dinosaur. A relic of the Cold War." This unusual candour, combined with a generally well-received performance by Brosnan as the new James Bond, helped to revitalize the franchise.
Plot summaryThe story opens with James Bond, agent 007, and his friend/ally Alec Trevelyan, agent 006, infiltrating the Soviet Army guarded Arkangel chemical weapons facillity in the USSR (modern day Russia). Trevelyan is captured and shot by Colonel Arkady Grigorovich Ourumov, but Bond escapes. • [List your site here Free!]
