When the villain was holding his gun to M's head, how I longed for her to grab it out of his hand and shoot him in the stomach ... I knew someone was going to have to die, but I didn't think it was going to have to be her.<br /><br />I could live with Moneypenny in the outer office if there were some good reason for her decision to leave the field, but the film offers no transition at all from Moneypenny the truck driving, rifle wielding, radio using agent to Moneypenny the sudden secretary.<br /><br />Also, I don't see why she has to apologize to Bond for shooting him or why he has to tease her for being a bad shot - she told M the shot was uncertain, M told her to take it anyway, and there probably wasn't much chance of anyone hitting someone who was standing on the other side of Bond without hitting Bond himself. Indeed, I still don't actually understand why the high speed bullet that hit Bond didn't travel right through him and into the bad guy on the other side ...<br /><br />On the other hand, I did find a certain gender role reversal in the way M dies in Bond's arms. He looks down at her in tears, and it reminded me of every Pieta I've ever seen where Mary mourns her son. That's something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
