This is a BRILLIANT analysis!! There's so many great little things I didn't notice before. Love it!

You're just retelling the plot.

So you're basically retelling the plot and calling that an analysis? Try this: a reconstruction of the villain's Plan - and your opinion of this movie will change dramatically.

You forgot to talk about all the plotholes

Well done!

To new, Skyfall feels closest to the original James Bond books in spirit. In the books, Fleming was trying to deconstruct and deglamorize the spy genre, and Bond is unsympathetic by nature. His trauma is pretty open for the world to see.

Do the writers actually think this way when writing a screenplay?

Love this film but I have to be reminded by other fans that Bond failed in his mission (to protect M). How this fits in with the structure, I am not sure but, other than the crying, we see no consequences for this failure. Still, having said that, number 2 in my Bond list. Love it

It would be amazing if you did this breakdown with Pulp Fiction

Thank you for your videos. I am starting to make films and they help me a lot to organize my ideas.

Good video, but you rushed through the best title sequence and one of the best songs in the series.

Hey, man, you ever coming back? You could make a ton of these analyses/breakdowns and really continue to help out writers. Hope you're well.

Never trust a black female especially an American black American female who has a bittersweet relationship with her pimp of a country . No love lost with her

Crybaby 😢😂

Wait, Jordan Peele writes? I always thought his entire film "career" was just trolling....

Joe makes his life count and did the right thing 🌎

Great breakdown of great bond movie. Succinct. Thoughtful

It's a shame you only have a few videos. I would've binged a hundred

Like Michael Jordan in the 90s. What a perfect analysis.

Thanks for taking the time to analyse this movie. I have lodged at the South end of Glencoe a few times. There was always fresh tales of dead mountaineers. In one particular case it was three instructors who never made it back to my lodge after a fall at buachaille etive mor. The pyramid mountain. Sublime, beautiful and deadly. Just like Bond. Did Sam Mendez intend the reflection? Perhaps it's not important when you consider the depth of history around those parts of Scotland. Ironically, even though Fleming resisted Connery in the role. There's a road up there that's been renamed Skyfall Pass or something. The mountains do not care about that, or expert mountaineers or anyone. QED. Cheers.

Criag deserved so much better than *No Time To Die* it was an insult, full of virtue signalling garbage & now the new Bond is going to be a total bltch, fitting really considering this generations sensibilities & sensitivities.

We all know that the perfect actor for Bond is essential. The villain also essential. But I would like to move on to a female villain let's tap into a real female villain. What are your thoughts

Shame how u stoped uploading all ur videos are so well created , deserve more bro hope to c another upload soon

That really hurts, a friend dies into your arms

Apparently this movie has NOTHING to do with the Russian super-weapon Skyfall - a nuclear-powered hypersonic missile capable of precisely dispensing radiation over vast areas. The REAL Skyfall would make a MUCH better basis for a 'Bond movie.

I am truly shocked that you only have 5k subs. Give it a year and change and you’ll be at a million :)

Just fount out this channel. I have to say this is amazing. Can you do Mission Impossible Fallout....???

I feel like if people look past the nostalgia of their childhood, they may consider this as the best pixar film. The animation is mesmerising and the story generally has a deep meaning.

Omg I love your videos please continue what you doing !

Javier Bardem should be cast as Dr. Doom in the MCU

Well done my friend. Best of the Daniel Craig era for the reasons (Thematic) that you mention. I think though if those themes resonate with a person, that person would like it more.

this was so so so helpful, u should definitely put up more content

Great video! One little thing that I would challenge, and I'd be interested to see what people think. You say that when M dies, we see Bond cry for the first time. I believe that we have seen Bond cry one other time before: In Pierce Brosnan's "Goldeneye", Bond discovers that his former special forces buddy, Alec Trevelyan (Sean Bean), whom he believed to be dead, had actually betrayed Bond, faking his own death and pursuing a life of crime and villainy. As Bond holds at gunpoint the man he had always thought to be a loyal friend, and Trevelyan delivers a mocking monologue, Bond's eyes appear to glisten with tears.

As someone who's trying to learn and understand story structure, this was so incredibly helpful. Please, please, please keep these videos coming.

thanks for the video but i dont like/understand that the bullet fragment cause the physical "fails" of the test so now the cant Miss and magicaly pass the PSYCHOLOGICAL test at least they can put some scenes with a rough fight because you know "old Bond"

Skyfall was god awful.

Always love when he replies yes ma’am, sounds like Yes Mum

How did you classify the act? That first one ends at 20 minutes. I have taken up the movie for my dissertation,the teacher may seek for explanation of how the acts are accurately divided into three acts and I have no idea how it does work and there's no one to help. kindly help.

Should have more views!

Wow, this was such an awesome breakdown! I’ve been looking for videos like these! Thanks so much!

I rewatched recently Skyfall after your analysis and I think this movie would have worked so much better as the final Brosnan movie. There is new Q, this is last film with Judy Dench, it was a great closure after Goldeneye where Bond had to fight with rouge agent now he has to protect M after another agent wants her dead, and finally we would have a truly older agent in a new digital world after 9/11. After this a reboot with newer, younger agent would be a spot on

Do green knight please

With Spectre and No Tiime to Die this one is in my bottom 5 right below Die Another Day. It is just terrible.

I also suggest Dreamwork's Sinbad, if you want to do an animated series - it offers enough to go by

Please, do the same analysis with « Casino Royale » and « No Time to Die »?

Although I all ready have experienced NTTD, I would love if you could breakdown NTTD for Daniel Craig's Bond. Casino Royal is by far the best bond movie with an air as Sean Connery's Bond. Daniel Craig is very talented and has range of characters he can muster. I would love to see him at a Broadway production and shake his hand.

I like the depth of the villain's character. He's not some guy stroking a cat. Indeed all major actors fill out their roles with rigor.

Hello! What happened to Nightcrawler breakdown video? I can't find it!

It's an extraordinary film when you think about it. It's the highest grossing Bond film even when you adjust Thunderball's earnings for inflation. The latter film makes sense that it'd do well in this area - it's a big budget film, full of spectacle and was advertised as such. Skyfall on the other hand is a more grounded, rather dark Bond adventure. Generally Bond films of this ilk such as License to Kill etc. don't do as well in this regard. It also did some genuinely interesting things with the formula: there wasn't really a Bond girl, Bond fails his mission in almost every sense, and it gave us an insight into how flawed Bond could be as a person and agent etc. But it also retained a lot of the elements that makes the film series so distinctive, including Bond's sense of duty, the gadgets, exotic locations etc. It's a genuinely entertaining film, and despite what it's doing it never feels depressing or weighty, which Spectre and No Time To Die can feel like at times.

The beat to end act 2 requires the protagonist to be “Ruthless, uncaring and willing to do whatever it takes to protect his wealth” like the rich. But when was it set up that the rich family itself was ruthless, uncaring and willing to do whatever it took to protect its wealth. Maybe content, gullible, careless, elitist. But those aren’t the same thing.
