It is not the first time homosexuality was portrayed by the villain (the assassins in Diamonds are Forever are). I guess I just find it odd that anyone could take anything seriously from the films. I mean there have been so many different villains over the years with all kinds of issues. Deb De

I guess I wasn't paying as close attention to the dialogue as others were. That is indeed a more positive dialogue than one would expect from the history of the Bond films. I recall that in the first Bond film starring Daniel Craig there was actually a scene in which Bond and one of his "girls

I don't know what Maslow would say.

I also seem to recall that he did not giv

Marie I agree. While Michael's point is well taken, I also was pleasantly surprised by the remark made by Bond in response. It certainly implied a prior homosexual encounter, but even if only masculine posturing, it certainly did not fit the more expected disgust or aggressive reaction. One migh

I actually thought that scene was noteworthy for Bond's reactions to the villains overture (the villain strokes Bond's scars in a - shall we say - erotized way). Bond says something to the effect of "why do you think you'd be my first". In other words, the tough and masculine Bond does not shy f

I heard there was a little controversy surrounding the villain in the latest Bond film. Well I finally saw the film and I guess I can see why. At one point when the bad guy (who clearly is "not right in the head") has captured Bond and has him tied up there is an implication that the villain i
