Film and Lit, 4/5/07

"Alright boys, I promised you last week we'd do something you'd be more interested in, and we are. But don't worry, girls, still plenty of eye candy in this one. Today we're going to be looking at the Bund series, both the novels by Ian Fleming, which started it all, and the various movies. Even a little bit of the various assorted parodies."

Daisy handed out a series of information sheets and showed a few clips of the different Bund movies and the actors. "Now, my question for you, this week, is what is it, exactly, about this character, that makes him so popular? How has it endured over the last half a century? What are some of the political and historical themes that have had to change, especially since the end of the cold war? And, of course, who was the best Bund?"

Daisy smiled slightly. "Should I keep pestering you and ask why it was a perfect time for them?"

"You had the heightened fear of foreign powers and there was this romantic idea of, like, going behind the iron curtain all secret-like and stuff," Cassie said. "So the high-powered political backdrop was an actual setting the people could relate to?"

Daisy nodded. "Sounds good to me."
