My essay will cover the similarities and differences between “Casino Royale” and “The Spy Who Loved Me”. I will explore all aspects of each film, including Bond, the Bond girls, the villain and the villain, special effects and mise-en-scene. The opening scenes are similar but different in both films. 'Casino Royale' begins with free running, a modern sport that entices the audience to keep watching. It's dangerous, new age and fits the film itself. It's also a sport that isn't something you can just try at home, it requires a lot of skill and stamina. “The Spy Who Loved Me,” however, begins with Bond being chased by the enemy on the ski slopes. Skiing is a very popular sport nowadays and many people around the world enjoy it. So watching someone ski now is not that exciting as it is a very common sport that many people can do. Free running, on the other hand, is much more exciting to watch because it is not an everyday sport. But back when "The Spy Who Loved Me" came out, skiing was not a popular sport and therefore appealed to audiences more than audiences would like it today. So they are similar because they both start with a sport where the enemy and the bond chase each other. But they are different because the sport in both opening scenes is different and the opening scene of "Casino Royale" is much more action-packed and exciting than the opening scene of "The Spy Who Loved Me". Bond is a very mysterious and extraordinary character. character. Ian Fleming wanted Bond's name to be suitably boring and contrast with the extraordinary events that would happen around him. The name of the famous spy was actually taken by the author of a guide to birds. ...... half of the paper ...... had an impact on changing the target audience. Bond films have moved on from typically targeting older men. Now, the target audience consists of people of a wide range of ages, male or female. This is due to Bond and Bond girls and the way they are portrayed. In "TSPWLM" it was a typical film for a male audience because there was a sexy Bond Girl in bed with Bond in the opening scene, and Bond is not made to look sexy, he is just a man fighting evil. While in 'Casino Royale' both Bond and the Bond Girl are made to be sexy to appeal to both male and female audiences. But in a way the Bond films have remained the same, for example they still have a typical Bond, a Bond Girl and a villain. So there are similarities and differences in both films. But despite being different, they continue to appeal to the audience of that time even if the audience they target is different.
