James Bond and body language

A lot of good examples from that movie.

Vesper Lynd: If the only thing left of you was your smile and your little finger, you'd still be more of a man than anyone I've ever known.

James Bond: That's because you know what I can do with my little finger

Just wanted to say, a lot of people gave Craig shit before he became "bond" because he didnt look like the classic smooth pretty boy look, and then he went and knocked it out of the park with Casino Royale and Skyfall.

IMO easily the best portrayal of bond. Some people preferred the goofy nature of the older films, but acting wise, playing the character for what he really is, a borderline psychopath, Craig is by far the best.

I watched this not too long ago after I swallowed the Red Pill and one particular line of dialog stuck out quite a bit:

"What is it about bad men? You... my husband. I had so many chances to be happy, so many nice guys. Why can't nice guys be more like you?"

"Because then they'd be bad."

Completely true. You have to commend Craig for his acting in Casino Royale, whether it was natural or not it's very convincing.

It all breaks down when you realise she was always the one in charge in the movie, hence why he was so pissed off in the sequel. He never once suspected her for something other than genuine throughout the whole film.

So you could argue that she was actually playing him, she knows he likes playing the alpha role so she uses that to her advantage.

Which makes sense of the whole poker/bluffing metaphor.

Props to vesper.

Things like this make me appreciate actors a lot more. Having to be aware of their characters body language for each scene. It's a 4 minute scene of them talking, but a hell of a lot of thought has to go in from both sides. Impressive.

I applied the comment about not breaking a stare several times today, even at strangers at the gym.

You better becareful where you are doing that, unless you want to start something.

Good video, but don't think your everyday partygirls are this complex.

Rogerdodger1985 · 2014-10-04T17:34:04+00:00

But how do you balance not breaking a stare showing dominance vs coming off as creepy?

I think being this confident / calm only helps you when you are already something special, else you will be viewed as boring, at least that is what I feel when I'm like craig in the vid

Just a heads up, this IS a movie.

mercuryg · 2014-10-04T21:14:29+00:00

While i do think the scene is entertaining, let's not forget it's a completely fictional interaction, absolutely everything is scripted, so i don't see how this has much merit game wise.

feelinglazy · 2014-10-04T12:02:34+00:00

Seriously people. It's just a movie, as in it's not real.

Wargame4life · 2014-10-04T13:53:11+00:00

I am genuinely embarrassed for anyone here who actually thinks an "analysis" of james bond body language has any value at all.

I don't know where to start, its fiction, they are actors, scenes are deliberately manufactured and over exaggerated to show intent etc.

You really do expose your naivety and stupidity when you analyse fiction for life lessons, several orders of magnitude more so when its hollywood fiction.

Holy shit.

You guys are seriously messed up.

Just focus on your careers and make some money!
