Q

Did the GG follow dominant gender stereotypes?

A

Yes because most of the women are in revealing clothes which represents submission, they also die in the films so are presented as disposable, they are being presented for the male gaze. There are 6 men and only 3 women. The men also take up more space on the poster showing that they are the more important people. They are also fully clothed and are not being objectified and following bergers theory. This is embedded with sexism and haas typical representations of both genders.

A

There was a changed social context between the two films: The dominant gender stereotypes are men = dominant and women = submissive but that is changed to woman more stable and strong and men more emotional and less controlling. The poster supports this and encourages women to watch it as they aren’t being made to seem weak but actually strong and capable. Feminist movement.

35
Q

What are the meanings of the title NTTD?

A
  1. All the syllables are one which makes it punchy and impactful
  2. A) suggests that Bond has so much things going on that he has not time to die and that he can’t have peace until they are complete -> suggests more emotional Bond.
    B) Suggests someone important will die (Probably James Bond) creates enigma as the audience is on a cliff hanger before they even start the film. Anticipation for watching the film. Creates a shock factor.
36
Q

What is the model of the car in NTTD?

A

Aston Martin -> an older make which links to the first ever Bond Film as they used that. It ensures to the audience that just because Bond is becoming more new masculinity it doesn’t mean that the Bond image is ever going to change. Allows the loyal audience to feel welcomed?

A

That they play an important role and are more focused on what is happening than Bond who has too much on his mind.

38

The Bond Franchise has a loyal fan base and Daniel Craig is such a well known Bond that they don’t have to introduce him. The other characters aren’t as important so not introduced either.

-More emotional Bond
-looks more thoughtful and unfocused as if distracted by more important things
