CASINO ROYALE | Bond meets Vesper

“Am I going to have a problem with you, Mr Bond?” 007’s first meeting with Vesper Lynd in CASINO ROYALE (2006) is today’s clip of the day. Daniel Craig said: “Eva has a mystery about her that is essential to this role; it’s incredibly complex and tragic.”

Best Bond girl, in my book. Her characterization, her vulnerability, the way she counters Bond’s ego where nearly any other Bond girl wouldn’t have, and her death is what makes Vesper so memorable.

And her character was only 23 (per her gravestone in nttd). Imagine being one year out of university and being able to carry yourself in all the situations they faced in this movie. Her youth also gives context to how she ended up being manipulated into being a double agent. And it makes her suicide a little more understandable, because she was so young that she didn’t realize time really heals all.

@@UseanameI think the French like Eva Green are much more mature in their ways than Americans.

[@ab7dasker]

Obviously this scene is a masterclass in dialogue for all the reasons others have mentioned. But it's also a really economical scene in the way it fits in with the larger film. The writers are doing several things at once in a scene that only lasts 4 minutes: 1) Introduces us to Vesper's character. In addition to conveying the fundamentals like her personality and significance to the narrative - "the money" - the conversation sets up her relationship with Bond as initially adversarial but with an undercurrent of flirtation foreshadowing her role as a love interest and foil for Bond. 2) Takes place on a train which shows us how our characters got from Point A to Point B. This adds a feeling of realism and helps ground the European setting where trains are commonplace. A lesser film wouldn't show the characters in transit and miss out on this storytelling opportunity. 3) Gives important exposition about the scenes we're going to see later in the film. We learn that this is a very high stakes poker game - played with millions of dollars - and that for Bond to lose this game would "directly finance terrorism", raising the metaphorical stakes even higher. 4) Reveals to us background about Bond in terms of his education, upbringing and attitudes towards women. That he's actually an orphan who received his first class education on someone else's dime adds a lot of depth and some vulnerability to Craig's James Bond (along with his choice to gracefully concede at the end of their brief verbal sparring). It's a scene that should be taught in screenwriting courses everywhere for its masterful execution and significance to the larger plot. It's a perfect example of how to artfully convey exposition in film writing.

[@prateekpoddar1890]

Yup. And also drops hints as to how Bond may have gotten into MI6 - probably joined the military after graduating from school, then the SAS, then was recruited into MI6 since "former SAS types" are what they look for.

[@user-tz9jh6pv2j]

But also with 4), it comes from a third party making a guess, so nothing in the dialogue is confirmed. It retains an air of mystery around Bond's past, but also gives is a brief glimpse into what may have been, same with 1) vice versa, never really reveals Vesper's past either

Could not agree more 👍

[@katemara667]

This! This is the difference between character-driven writing and plot-driven writing. In Casino Royale Paul Haggis put so much thought into Vesper and Bond's relationship. In an interview he said he knew he only had one scene and a few lines to make us believe these characters would fall in love and want us to root for them. So he made sure he understood the characters inside out, and asked what would make Bond fall in love with her. The answer? She challenges him, and more importantly, she sees the real person he is behind the armour he puts up. Compare this to the relationship between Bond and Madeleine in Spectre and No Time To Die. There's none of that depth there at all. The characters just feel like cardboard cutouts because all their decisions and actions only exist to make the plot happen. It's like the writers could never find a compelling reason why Bond and Madeleine liked each other.

This pairing is perfect; the chemistry, dynamic, wit? Sexual tension is great. Both are perfect in their roles and both are enhanced by one another. One of the many reasons Casino is my absolute favourite Bond film AND one of my all time favourite films

[@calvinvang4749]

The dialog in this movie is so well written and acted. This scene especially

[@keithhanisek2465]

Seeing this in the theatre all those years ago. This scene took my breath away. She is beyond beautiful here. ❤️

Vesper: Rolex? Bond: Casio Vesper: Beautiful

[@swaminathaniyer399]

Omega

[@flankspeed]

"Swatch. Mickey Mouse hands." "Beautiful."

[@ryanjohn6690]

One of the best music composition to commemorate this character in all of the film series

[@inventgineer]

Take note, screenwriters: THIS is how you do exposition PROPERLY. We get significant information on the history and personality of 2 of the main characters without a character practically staring right at the camera reading off character history to the audience directly, or a news channel broadcasting the information, or any of the other talentless hack methods that are so commonly employed nowadays. Instead, it is couched as not just a conversation, but a sort of competitive game between the two; which (the game) itself also, in the process, informs us even further about who they both are. It doesn't feel forced or unnatural or draw us out of the immersion in any way. Just beautiful 💯

She was the only iconic Bond girl of this Bond. All the others actresses and their characters were forgettable.

[@thegulagspeak]

Gotta admit, they spend 2 movies for Dr. Swann, but cannot compare to Vesper, who only appear in 1 movie.

[@JackWalker12993]

They were truly made for each other and are now reunited 😭❤

[@yungblink]

“Every penny of it” might be my favorite Bond quote.

[@ionutsth3430]

"relax amigo" (subtitles ON)

[@globalspiritualrevolutionmedia]

Bond exposes Vespers insecurities rooted deeply in her past pain and trauma!

[@HashiramaSenyu]

And that's why she takes things personally and goes on to call him a Cold hearted bastard.

[@globalspiritualrevolutionmedia]

@@HashiramaSenyu Exactly!!!!!

[@agnesw4189]

Best onscreen couple in any movies I've seen so far! Hope they can do another movie together soon💕

[@finchcarvingadiamond]

This is like the most perfect conversation I've seen. 0 flaws lmao

[@eggizgud]

Cried so badly at how much he loved her and she him to make the ultimate sacrifice.

[@illbuyourniknak]

Fifteen years later, Bond and Vesper are finally together again…♥️

[@Asw_2004]

Eh?

[@Asw_2004]

Oooooh

[@chefandmusician9170]

Really?

[@BlotRorschach]

2:33 is the exact moment Bond fell in love.

[@timgillison1175]

Very thoughtful, especially at work. Thank you 😃

[@tessaapostol4688]

Love Eva Green! She’s no Bond girl, she’s the one! Who else can get Bond to parade in skimpy trunks, wear his heart on his sleeve, and almost give up his life as a spy until she broke his heart! Next to her, all Bond girls are meaningless!

[@NikoBellic04]

This scene is better than the entierty of Spectre

[@EthanKnight97]

And Quantum of Solace

[@tiebrkr4231]

William Southall Quantum is a very good movie.

[@NikoBellic04]

@@tiebrkr4231 Did we see the same movie?

[@tiebrkr4231]

Bosse bläckfisk I don’t know. As far as I’m concerned, I’ve seen it maybe four times and I still love it : David Arnold is at its best, Amalric is great and I have no problem with the editing.

[@TheBrickGuy7939]

Honestly I think Spectre gets way too much hate. It's not perfect and is flawed in areas but I cannot call it a bad movie. It's better by a bit than Quantum Of Solace imo.

[@mariettadzeladini7390]

What a dialogue! Their voices are perfect!

[@IseoluwaCobham]

Perfection in every, damn that scene gets me every time, Martin Campbell I raise a glass to you and your team well done sir. Well done.

[@chrish8229]

One of my favorite scenes in all movies. I know it word for word . Love this encounter

[@marcozuleta133]

Best product placement of all time. With it, everybody knew the name Omega, and that bond was not only wearing it, but it was as classy, elegant and expensive as it's biggest competitor Rolex.

Same thing for Joel in the last of us .... And people say it's out of character..

[@christinamarina1691]

One of my favorite Bond films

[@leviblair7545]

Casino Royale is simply the best Bond film of all time.

[@Greytruth2]

007 is channelling his inner Sherlock. So many clever lines 😂

[@aconsultingfangirl1258]

YEA!

[@situated4]

Daniel Craig is the best James Bond. Dark, brooding and you can't take your eyes off of him.

[@FromVadimWithLove]

Love this scene for an amazing dialogue. And also noticed that Bond is still looking bruised a little bit after previous action scenes. What a neat detail 😊👌 I'm glad this detail will be back in No Time To Die, according to the BTS pics.

[@aabidamn]

Too bad the continuity level didn't extend to Vesper. Her hair suddenly changed when she said Rolex and switched back again afterwards.

[@arvinddas6803]

There is always love when a man and woman start a conversation by insulting each other .

[@hightoppler]

I still think the Casino Royale was the peak of Bond movies with amazing scenes like these. I doubt it that it ever comes returns at this level.

[@dejabu24]

Eva green’s performance was amazing very special Bond girl

[@nickmedina8748]

One of my favorite bond movies 🙌

[@GM-fh5jp]

She just oozes class and style and is clearly the type of woman men will die for.
