50 Years of James Bond
○○七縱橫影壇五十年–Asha Thibedeau

11/1
He’s skied off a cliff in the Alps. He’s driven a tank through downtown St. Petersburg. In Madagascar, he leapt from the top of one crane to another. He always cheats death with style, and his name is Bond, James Bond.
The James Bond series, the longest-running film franchise, is now turning 50. Since 1962, the novel-based character first brought to the big screen in Dr. No has never failed to entertain us on his dangerous missions. Who wouldn’t love a movie with all the best ingredients— a handsome spy, evil criminals, beautiful women, exotic locations, cutting-edge gadgets, and amazing action?
Each actor who has played Bond has added a different touch to the timeless character. First, Sean Connery was confident and romantic, yet cold-blooded. Roger Moore emphasized Bond’s humorous side. Timothy Dalton took over and made Bond colder and darker. Pierce Brosnan portrayed a more sensitive, even vulnerable, Bond. Today, fans love Daniel Craig’s realistic portrayal and physical strength. He never remains perfectly groomed for long and gets bloodied often. For many Bond fans, Craig has breathed new life into the long-running series.

他滑雪從阿爾卑斯山的懸崖一躍而下。他駕著坦克車穿越聖彼德堡市中心。在馬達加斯加，他跳過一台又一台起重機頂。他總是優雅地死裡逃生，他的名字叫龐德，詹姆士．龐德。

詹姆士．龐德系列是最長壽的系列電影，如今邁入第五十年。這位小說裡的人物自從一九六二年《第七號情報員》首度登上大銀幕開始，他的危險任務總能娛樂觀眾。誰不愛集所有最佳元素於一身的電影──帥氣的情報員、邪惡的罪犯、美艷的女郎、異國的場景、最先進的精巧裝置，以及精彩的動作場面？

每個扮演過龐德的演員都為這位超越時代的角色增添了些許不同風格。首先，史恩．康納萊飾演的龐德自信、浪漫卻冷酷無情。羅傑．摩爾則突顯了龐德幽默風趣的一面。提摩西．達頓接手後則讓龐德顯得更冷漠、陰沉。皮爾斯．布洛斯南則詮釋出較敏感、甚至脆弱的龐德。如今，丹尼爾．克雷格寫實的詮釋和強健的體魄深受影迷喜愛。他光鮮亮麗的儀容總維持不久，時常搞得渾身是血。對許多龐德影迷來說，克雷格為這部歷久不衰的系列電影注入了一股新活力。
