Do you agree that Sean Connery's Bond was a rapist?


No Time To Die Director, Cary Fukunaga referred to Sean Connery's James Bond was basically a RAPIST in an interview he did stating in the 1965 bond film when James met Patricia Fearing, played by Molly Peter who rejects his advances and pushes him away but then forcibly kisses her!!

Later she begs Bond not to tell her boss about something as she would lose her job and he says "Well, i suppose my silence could have a price"

She backs away and says "You don' tmean..oh no!" and he says "oh, yes" before pushing her into a steam room and took her clothes off

Fukunaga told the Hollywood Reporter "Is it thunderball or Goldfinger where like basically Sean Connery's character rapes a woman. She's like, no no no and he's like, yes yes yes. That wouldn't fly today".

He wanted to empower the female characters in this movie and give them equity and says he would like to see a FEMALE BOND one day although Daniel Craig, in his last outing as Bond in this film asks why there should be a female bond and belives in keeping the character male.

Is he right about Sean Connery's Bond?

I feel like when the studio allows the marketing of their movie to be political it's because they themselves think the movie is bad and this is the only way they can sell it.

Not this specifically, I mean the way they've been marketing it in general, female empowerment, Bond being shamed, etc.

It's like Ghostbusters 2016 and Space Jam 2021 again.

Why bring attention to the scene in the old Bond movie at all? You're literally attacking your own franchise, as you're supposedly trying to promote your movie that's part of that franchise. And no matter it's faults, you know the new movie is never going to be revered like the old Bond movies, so you're basically just telling fans of old Bond movies, a large portion of the target audience, that they were wrong for enjoying them.

So I don't see how this will improve ticket sales.

James Bond should provide grief counseling to the families of the people he kills and it takes up 66% of the film's run time

You're arguing the semantics of the word "political", rather then discussing the actual actions being taken by the movie studio to promote their movie, which is what I'm talking about.

I can't remember if I've seen Thunderball, but that sounds bad.

Pretty much. It's how Sony tried to deflect criticism from the Ghostbusters reboot.

???

Even says "That wouldn't fly today" It's not an attack on Connery it's a statement of fact about how things used to be.

Yeah, but Deckard was pretty rapey too, even if they were both robots

that is not entirely accurate. According to the movie its up in the air and there are certainly hints that he could be.

nothing confirms it.
ford and the director apparantly debates the issue with Ford who claimed he was clearly human and the director agreeing with him.

apparently the director is wishy washy on this and has claimed both he is and isnt.

so its really up to you.
