A propos de cet article

When Dr. No premiered in 1962, the film introduced moviegoers to a new kind of cinematic hero - suave, handsome, immaculately attired, ruthless and deadly. Secret agent 007, the creation of an Eton-educated ex-Naval Intelligence officer, was an immediate sensation. The Kremlin blasted his politics. The Vatican condemned his morals. And eager audiences could not get enough. For a generation raised on the homogenized heroes and sexuality of the 1950s, James Bond represented a new mould, a new type of entertainment for a rapidly changing era. Few could foresee that Bond would become an international idol who would ride the cultural zeitgeist into the new millenium. James Bond: The Legacy chronicles the incredible evolution of the Bond phenomenon, from literary birth in 1952, to the spymania of the 60s, the political minefields of the 70s, 80s and beyond, to the latest 007 adventure, Die Another Day. This is the world according to 007, a bonded history of modern times revealing the global influence of the most famous secret agent ever created. Bond has shaped history, changing the way we watch movies, think about spies, and define global politics. The book reveals how Bond has given us context for the social upheavals of our times, from the Cold War to the sexual revolution. He has given us an iconography of elegance, a template for mastering technology, a modern myth by which we define our enemies. From street riots in the 1960s to the toppling of governments, James Bond has played a remarkably consistant role in our global culture. Through the years, James Bond has been imitated, celebrated and castigated, but never before has the character's influence on popular culture - and vice versa - been investigated as insightfully and entertainingly. This is the story of how writers, filmmakers and most notably a small cadre of producers changed popular culture by breaking all the rules. Bond was the quintessential British hero as the sun was setting on the British Empire. He wore tuxedos as the world changed into blue jeans and t-shirts. He drank martinis as the rest of us sipped diet colas and double lattes. Yet Bond has not only survived, he has prospered. His cinematic legacy has produced such disparate offspring as Indiana Jones and Austin Powers, and his influence can be felt in fashion, music, architecture, and even in the top-secret bowels of the CIA and MI6. Produced with unprecedented access to the archives of the filmakers behind 007 movies, and illustrated with over 500 photographs, design sketches and storyboards, this is a truly sumptuous book that provides the definitive history of the James Bond phenomenon. James Bond: The Legacy brings the reader into the world of 007 like no book before, written and designed to be appreciated by the casual fan as well as the discerning critic, and to be enjoyed by all who love the dangerous and delectable adventures of Ian Fleming's incredible creation - James Bond.; Lichte slijtage aan de randen van de stofomslag.…
