He also had the best facial expressions in life or death situations. Non-verbal acting is some of the hardest to pull off, imo. This scene is a prime example. Bond legit looks in fear that he could die at several points in this scene. Brosnan should have got 7 movies like Connery and Moore, but I guess he didn't want to play the role anymore after Die Another Day.

[@rayunited2010foryou]

@@drlee2 Too bad he got tied up Remington Steele's contract or else he would have started playing Bond in the early 80s

[@Xylarxcode]

@@drlee2 He was still in talks for a 5th Bond movie after 2002's Die Another Day, but the studio wanted to take the franchise in a different direction because even though Die Another Day was financially successful, it received negative reviews from critics and is generally regarded as being too over the top and unrealistic. Nobody goes to a Bond movie expecting top notch realism, but there are still certain points where we need to draw the line and Brosnan's last outing as Bond crossed several of them. The Bourne Identity also came out around that time and shifted the paradigm of what we expected from action focused spy movies. So, with the producers wanting to take the franchise in a new direction, the negative views on the latest Bond movie and Brosnan's salary being on the high side at the time (he did play Bond in 4 financially successful movies, so that's understandable), it felt like a perfect time to switch to a new Bond while they revamped the franchise. It would be cheaper for the studio and fit in with the change in direction they wanted to take. On the one hand, yes, I'm a bit miffed that Brosnan didn't get a proper last Bond movie to bid farewell to the fans He is my favorite Bond and I would have loved to see in one more Bond movie before Craig took over. He was young enough to do one more, at the time. On the other hand, Craig was really good as Bond in Casino Royale and its success blew up more than a lot of people were expecting, so you can't complain about the results. Clearly, it worked out. At any rate, it's not Brosnan who didn't want to play the part anymore, it's the studio that wanted to change direction and took that opportunity to look for a new Bond at the same time, since they were faced with times where people were ready to go back to more grounded and gritty spy movies, mostly jumpstarted by The Bourne Identity and with the Craig movies following suit in that same style of gritty and character based spy movies, compared to the gadget heavy and almost surrealistic mess that was Die Another Day.

The thing is Brosnan has a under cover casual quality that secret agents are expected to have, Craig on the other hand looks too suspicious & bang bang loud to be a secret agent there is nothing secretive or unassuming about that fellow and he gets easily caught in most instances!..

[@pr-tj5by]

@@varunemani My take on Craig as Bond... Craig is not James Bond, he's a normal action character like Jason Bourne He fell in love with 2 women and left MI6 twice all in the space of 4 movies.... What kind of James Bond is that..... Could you ever imagine Connery, Moore or Brosnan doing anything like that... If you want the Bond from the books then watch the Dalton or Craig Bond, he used to have charisma and humor in the form of one liners, was suave, sophisticated, killed the bad guy and most importantly chased the women,( the eye for the ladies) all while saving the world, If you don't have all these qualities then how can you possibly still be James Bond anymore.... Bond isn't an icon for being Joe average secret agent Connery set the scene and it was continued through Moore and Brosnan, This is what separated him from all other action movie characters and why every guy wanted to be him.... I love the Bourne movies and have watched them all many times but if Bourne suddenly started chasing the women, developing a sense of humor or began being suave and sophisticated I'd be totally put off the character and that's why I was put off Craig from the beginning It's why Moore, Brosnan and Connery were brilliant and Craig is nothing more than discount Jason Bourne.

Tomorrow Never Dies is the most subversive Bond film, ever.

[@lukasnummer1]

What do you mean by "subversive" in this case?

[@ricardocantoral7672]

@@lukasnummer1 Carver's scheme reflects the reality of corporate media's relationship with big government. They are in cahoots together in order to perpetuate a false, pro war narrative. Carver at one point quotes William Randolf Hearst who, in cooperation with the US Government, spread the false news about a Spanish mine blowing up the USS Maine. In reality, the Maine exploded due to faulty wiring. Unfortunately, that would not be the last false flag created in order to the rally the masses.

I thought it followed the Bond formula to a T

@@ricardocantoral7672 Actually that is a very modern plot if you think about it, today we call it FAKE NEWS, every word in a dictionary that meant : "Rumours" "Gossip" "speculation" "the word on the street" now is called "FAKE NEWS". Just like CGI,COMPUTER ANIMATED FORGERY ( watch this video from 90s batman to understand it kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYjVn516jd1orpY ) Animation became what is now Called DEEP FAKE, anyway, changes the technology which is done with it, also changes the name for it even if has the same result This movie has more modern plot than a lot of other bonds movie, if made it today it would a have been very relevant and probably well received by the critics

[@MrAsaqe]

@@machlu Even played on the repatriation politics of HK with China and England, that there are Hawks on both sides that refuse to let go. TND was relevant in hindsight and a major talking point during the Brosnan era as during his final film he tries to reassure the Chinese government that the Brits isn't trying to take the port back

[@blockmasterscott]

I just love how Brosnan looked so good in a suit. He looks so suave.

[@ThePuschkin1986]

Carver really got the best bang out of the buck for the money he pays his security guards. all of them are so dedicated! they are hired to protect a printing plant, but they perform dangerous stunts to apprehend an intruder, jumping on those cranes and stuff, even the forklift driver tried to stop Bond!

[@AndorRadnai]

This is one of the smartest instalments in the series, from a styling point of view. An evil bureaucrat as the villain and Bond fitting in the same style. Even the BMW..!

[@jameshurley776]

The villain is George soros I love it

[@Kessler1996]

All of Brosnan's movements and gestures during his tenure as Bond were so delicate and prissy, especially that wrist-kiss at 0:51 and how he flexes his two middle fingers as he walks down the stairs - it is absolutely fantastic, so much of my childhood was influenced by watching Brosnan walk and point at things. It is slightly camp but he has such a stern don't-fuck-with-me facial expression the entire time, he totally gets away with it (no fem-shaming here, by the way, I'm gay and grew up thinking this is how debonair men walked to work and did their jobs!)

[@its_clean]

Those movements aren't Bond so much as Brosnan himself. He does the same things with his hands in pretty much every movie, so it's a personal tic more than acting. Plus, he has fairly long and thin fingers for a man, so add it all up and he comes across as either delicate or feminine depending on your point of view. I've noticed this with a few other big-name actors too. Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise are especially notable for having distinctive hands and frequently gesturing/holding things in distinctive ways. It's not necessarily bad acting, but it can be kind of distracting when you see the actor slip back into his own habits rather than playing the character.

[@Kessler1996]

@@its_clean Yes!! I wholly agree with you there - Brosnan is, unfortunately, a fairly limited actor in terms of his transformations into a character. He will always be suave, severe, poised and prissy; his hand motions are really similar in a lot of his films and he does adopt similar posturing and gesturing in a lot of his roles. He simply wears a suit like nobody else and that his why his casting so often puts him in positions where his job is to wear a suit and a sultry frown. I mean, it's great to look at but not very challenging, dramatically!

[@pr-tj5by]

@@Kessler1996 He does wear a suit like nobody else can, best ever Bond for me!

[@scottknode898]

@@Kessler1996 Pierce Brosnan has played darker roles after his career as Bond ended like in The Foreigner with Jackie Chan released in 2017 with Brosnan as a corrupt Irish Government Official. The November Man was even a darker film with Brosnan playing a veteran former CIA agent.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

Specifically from the N64 The World Is Not Enough game (and for switching weapons more so than picking up). It's a perfect sound for that context, but considering it's used here for two different things, I have no idea who would've come up with the sound in the first place. Maybe it was stock?

[@italobrettmusic]

Minor complaint about this beautiful scene - I wish Bond's PPK at the beginning when he's sneaking around was fitted with a suppressor, it would've made more sense for the context of the scene! But other than that, this is one of my favorite scenes from over 60 years of Bond film history.
