I don't who will celebrate this milestone while James Bond movie first can be seen in Chinese cinema, the British people, the American film providers or Japanese investors. Fortunately, it is not my first time to watch the James Bond movie. It basically is a British story, a Hollywood style of story-telling. But, I can't say I don't like it. In fact, I am a fan of Pierce Brosnan. Many Chinese can't distinguish a British or a US from westerners. But, their differences can be seen in many ways. So, from my view, personally, Daniel Craig is not a British. He is 100% an American. I can't say Mr. Craig isn't a good actor. He told Chinese people in a TV interview that he worked so hard to make this movie out. However, he worked so hard to show his nature of American. It is not wrong, but to me, I just feel a little bit disappointed. Something has been distorted that I can't clarify well in words. powered by performancing firefox

free-free: don't feel too badly about it, since most of the others weren't really "English." Connery was Scots Lazenby, Australian Dalton, Welsh Brosnan, Irish. i'm one of the 6 people in the world who likes Lazenby best. and then Connery. can you get to wikipedia - there's a reasonable article on Bond... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bondplus, did you know there are Jame Bond novels (mostly) written by Ian Fleming? the original books have almost nothing in common with the movies, except they have the same titles and James Bond is in them. i have them all. they're a hoot to read, if you can find them |

Different powers respect
|
I am not tending to battle against the American culture. In 300 years, the emigration from the Europe have generated some particular culture on the land of North America. I am not sure if I am right, but with my up-to-minute understanding, the physical element in US culture is much more than the mental, like cowboy or teenage guy. Craig showed the power of his muscle more than his wisdom in his preformance.
Asian men do not have hefty muscle in comparison with the Westerners, so we respect the mental power, alternatively, more than the physical power. From this point of views, I suppose what for emphasis, what information trying to deliver to audiences is the key to identify the culture of a movie, no matter the nationality of its actors.

Asian men.
|
In comparison, the asian movie stars, Jack Chan, Bruce Lee, Jet Lee, use their muscles too. Simple, they showed their androcentric and violent side in order to amuse the American Audiences, following with the Hollywood's style.
How much the American audiences, I mean people really know Chinese men, asian men? I am not sure. But, a few of the born-in-State asian men can read and speak Chinese. They don't have obligation to do it. Strange, those emigration parents. What do they think? Let their children enjoy democratic culture?
