So, I went to see Skyfall last weekend. It was so-so (I did enjoy Casino Royale, but not really any other Bonds)
The film ended and I sat there with my mouth literally hanging open in shock. So to sum up...three main female characters:
One shoots him and becomes a secretary as she can't "handle" field work.
One is an ex-prostitute who he sleeps with and then watches whilst she is shot and killed (and takes a shot himself, hey, you win some you lose some)
One left, the female hope. Oh no wait, she's accused of being shit at her job and is ultimately replaced by a man after being killed.
So the only remaining woman is in the role of secretary (now nothing wrong with being a secretary...but..come ON!) and bond may or may not have had sex with.
you see another woman in the film, but he is just having sex with her.
Yes, not the most important thing in the world..but it's 2012!! How can a film like this be made? How does no one mind?? WTF?
Someone tell me i'm being paranoid please.
