Ukumataniswa kwalezi zithonjana, inkosi yamaNgisi kanye nenkosi yezinhloli - kwifilimu yomcimbi wokuvulwa kwama-Olympics aseLondon - kwaba umzuzu ojabulisayo. Kwakungenandaba ukuthi enye yazo yayiyinganekwane. I-Agent 007 ingokoqobo ezigidini zababukeli bamafilimu, futhi bazophinde batheleke ukuze babone impi ye-Bond yendlovukazi nezwe lapho uhambo lwakhe olusemthethweni lwesi-23 lwesikrini, "Skyfall," luvula lokhu kukwindla.Uhambe ibanga elide kule minyaka engu-50 kusukela akhululwa - ngo-Oct. 5, 1962 - kwefilimu yezinhloli enesabelomali esinesizotha ebizwa ngokuthi “uDkt. Cha.” Yethula i-agent eyimfihlo kodwa ebulalayo eyayigqoke amasudi e-Savile Row, yashayela i-Aston Martin, yathanda i-martinis yakhe inyakaziswa, inganyakaziswa, futhi yazibiza ngokuthi "Bond, James Bond."
Iyini imfihlo yokusinda kwakhe? Ukujwayelana, kusho uRoger Moore, owadlala iBond kumafilimu ayisikhombisa, ngaphezu kwanoma yimuphi omunye umlingisi. “Kufana nendaba ngaphambi kokulala: Inqobo nje uma ungahambi kude kakhulu nokwasekuqaleni, ingane iyajabula,” kusho uMoore. "Izethameli zithola lokho ezikulindele: amantombazane amahle, izenzo, amagajethi - kunefomula."
Leyo fomula eyaphumelela ngendlela emangalisayo yaba neziqalo ezingatheni. Abakhiqizi ababili abasafufusa, waseCanada u-Harry Saltzman kanye no-Albert “Cubby” Broccoli waseMelika, bathole amalungelo ochungechunge lwamanoveli ka-Ian Fleming, owayeyisikhulu sezobunhloli eMpini Yezwe II owadala i-007 njengohlobo lwe-alter-ego engelona iqiniso. U-Saltzman no-Broccoli babenesabelomali sesigidi esingu-$1 kuphela, kodwa ngenhlanganisela yenhlanhla nomklamo bahlanganise iqembu elimangalisayo lamathalenta angaphandle nangaphandle kwesikrini.
USean Connery, umlingisi waseScotland owayengaziwa futhi owayengumakhi womzimba, waphonswa njengoBond ngokumelene nezifiso ze-studio United Artists, eyayifuna inkanyezi esungulwe njengoCary Grant kule ndima.
"Yonke into noma Lutho," idokhumentari entsha emayelana namafilimu e-Bond, ithi uphawu lokugcina lokugunyazwa luvela kunkosikazi kaBroccoli. “Ingabe u-sexy?” U-Brokholi wambuza. UConnery uthole ingxenye.
Ngemuva kwezigcawu kwakunabaculi abafana noJohn Barry, umqambi womculo wetimu ye-pulse-quickening kaBond; Maurice Binder, owadala ukulandelana kwesihloko sesibhamu somgqomo odumile; kanye nomklami u-Ken Adam, owake waba ngumshayeli wendiza we-RAF owazalelwa eJalimane amasethi akhe ekusasa anikeze amafilimu ukubukeka kwawo okupholile kwesimanje. Kudokhumentari, u-Adam ukhumbula ezizwa “ehlanya ngesibindi” ngalezo zinsuku zokuqala.
“UDkt. Cha” yafika emathiyetha ngesikhathi esifanele, njengoba iBrithani yashintsha ukuqina kwangemva kwempi ukuze kube nempumelelo ekhulayo. Izwe likaBond lezimoto, amakhasino kanye ne-caviar laliheha, liwubukhazikhazi futhi linemibalabala. Esikhundleni somuntu ompunga, onethunzi, nansi inhloli enjenge-jet-setter ekhangayo. Amafilimu aguqule ukukhathazeka ngeMpi Ebandayo kwaba uhambo olujabulisayo lapho umuntu olungile ehlala ephuma enqobile.
“Ayikho into efana nayo ngaphambili,” kusho uGraham Rye, umhleli wephephabhuku i-007, okhumbula ukuthi le filimu yashaywa umoya lapho eseneminyaka engu-11 ubudala. “Amafilimu amaningi aseBrithani ngaleso sikhathi ayeyidrama enzima, emnyama nemhlophe, ecwila ekhishini. Lapho 'uDkt. Cha' kuqhume esikrinini, kube nomthelela omuhle kuwo wonke umuntu. ”
Kusukela lapho, u-Bond uye wasinda emiqhudelwaneni nezitha kusukela ku-uber-villain u-Ernst Blofeld kuya kumbulali onamazinyo ensimbi. Okuhlaba umxhwele nakakhulu, uye wabhekana nenguquko yezenhlalo yama-1960s, izinkinga zezezimali namacala, izinguquko eziningi zomlingisi ophambili, ukuphela kweMpi Yomshoshaphansi kanye nokuqala kweMpi Yezobushokobezi. Ukusinda kwakhe kuwumphumela wamakhemikhali, ukuqina kanye nenhlanhla.
“UDkt. Cha” uthole izibuyekezo ezixubile - ezinye ezinhle, ezinye azikuthandi. “Indlu yokubalekela ehlanzekile,” kuhogela u-Bosley Crowther we-New York Times. Kodwa izilaleli zasabela, futhi ethi “From Russia With Love,” eyakhululwa ngonyaka olandelayo, nayo yaba nengoma eyashisa izikhotha. Ngo-1964 i-“Goldfinger,” i-Bond yayiyinto evamile.
Kusukela ekuqaleni, impumelelo yathuthukiswa ukukhangisa okuhlakaniphile. Singase sicabange ngokubekwa komkhiqizo nokuthengisa njengamasu akamuva kodwa bekuyingxenye yephakheji eqala ngezincwadi, lapho iwashi le-Bond kuyi-Rolex, i-shampoo yakhe u-Pinaud Elixir. Okwaqala njengendlela kaFleming yokubonisa ukuthanda okumba eqolo komlingiswa wakhe ngokushesha kwaba uhlelo lwezohwebo, manje oselubiza izigidi kubakhiqizi bamafilimu. Ngawo-'60s, abalandeli be-Bond babengagqoka isiqedaphunga esingu-007 kanye ne-aftershave noma iziqu zokubhukuda ze-James Bond, eziphelele ngelogo.
Izindawo ezazihlanganisa imbulunga yonke zibheke emkhathini; ukulandelana kwe-stunt ephikisana namandla adonsela phansi; amabhande e-rocket, imikhumbi-ngwenya yezimoto nezinye izinto zobuchwepheshe; ama-megalomaniacal villains kanye nabalandeli babo abadabukisayo - bonke ngokushesha baba yingxenye yomkhiqizo we-Bond. Kanjalo nezingoma zetimu, eziningi zazo ezenziwa abaculi abakhulu bosuku, kusukela ku-Paul McCartney (“Live and Let Die”) kuya ku-Madonna (“Die Another Day”).
Futhi, kunjalo, kwakukhona "amantombazane angama-Bond," abalingiswa abayizisulu noma ababi kodwa abahlale bedabukisa - futhi ngokuvamile ababulalayo - bekhangwa ngu-007. Abangane besifazane abagqoke izingubo ezicashile kaBond kudala behlinzeka ngezinhlamvu kubagxeki, abasola amafilimu ngobulili, nakuba abanye bephikisana ngokuthi amafilimu anikeza uswidi wamehlo kuwo wonke umuntu.
Ukulindela izinguquko ezintsha kuzinto ezijwayelekile kube yingxenye yokukhanga kwamafilimu, okuwenza abonakale ngokushesha futhi ashaywe ngendlela emangalisayo, njengoba kwafakazela amafilimu kaMike Myers e-Austin Powers.
Abakhiqizi bamafilimu e-EON Productions - namuhla ephethwe indodakazi ka-Broccoli nendodana yokutholwa, u-Barbara Broccoli no-Michael G. Wilson - sebephenduke uchwepheshe ekucijeni ifomula. Bangochwepheshe bokungabaza, imininingwane ye-drip-feed mayelana nefilimu ngayinye entsha - isihloko, izindawo, izihlabani zezivakashi - kubalandeli abamagange.
Njengeqhawe lalo, lolu chungechunge lube namava amaningi acishe afa. UConnery wayeka ngokunganaki ngemva kwamafilimu ayisithupha. Kube nempi yezomthetho ethathe isikhathi eside nombhali wesikrini u-Kevin McClory mayelana namalungelo ombhalo we-"Thunderball". Umphumela waba ifilimu ye-Bond engekho emthethweni ethi "Ungalokothi Usho Ungalokothi," ebone uConnery oneminyaka engu-52 ubudala ebuya ngemuva kweminyaka eyishumi engekho endimeni. Owayeyimodeli yangaphambili u-George Lazenby wathatha ifilimu eyodwa nje — "Kusevisi Yemfihlo Yobukhosi Bakhe" kusukela ngo-1969, indaba enombala omnyama ebalelwa phakathi kwezintandokazi zabalandeli abaningi. U-Moore wathatha i-Bond ngendlela elula phakathi nawo-1970. Izethameli azizange ziyijabulele i-Timothy Dalton's Bond eyayiqinile, eyayisho ukuthini yango-1980s, kodwa i-suave superagent ka-Pierce Brosnan - ezungeza umhlaba ngezimoto ezihamba phambili esikhathini esizayo, okuhlanganisa nemoto engabonakali, elingana nesikhathi esinethemba sangemva kweMpi Yomshoshaphansi.
Njengoba nje izingubo zika-007 zishintshile ngokushintsha kwemfashini, abakhiqizi bazamile ukuthola ama-Bonds ukuze balingise isimo sezikhathi. Umphumela wokuhlasela kwangoSepthemba 11 ulethe ukushintsha kwephimbo. U-Craig's Bond, owadlala okokuqala ku-“Casino Royale” ngo-2006, uyinhloli emnyama, eqinile elalela amazwi kaFleming, ebuyisela ukudabuka nokuzenyanya kunqolobane yemizwa ye-Bond.
Yize umndeni wakwaBroccoli ungeke uphawule, imibiko yabezindaba ithi uCraig uzibophezele kwamanye amafilimu amabili ngemuva kwe-“Skyfall,” kanti i-Bond 24 izokhishwa ngo-2014 noma ngo-2015 - okungukuthi, uma u-007 eqhubeka nokukhohlisa ukufa.
Usongo lwakamuva kakhulu ku-Bond kwaba ukubambezeleka kokukhiqiza ku-"Skyfall" ngenkathi isitudiyo i-MGM sifaka isicelo sokuqothuka ngo-2010. Kodwa i-Agent 007 isesimweni esihle kakhulu seminyaka engu-50. Ingabe izohlala enye ingxenye yekhulunyaka? URye, umhleli kamagazini, ucabanga kanjalo. “Ibhondi, njengamadayimane, ingunaphakade,” esho.
