Double O 7– films of fiction and friction, Sean is the real bond

Double 0 7, agent M-16, James Bond the brain child of Ian Flemings, produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman co-produced the Eon films until 1975, when Broccoli became the sole producer. Since 1995, Broccoli's daughter Barbara and stepson Michael G. Wilson have co-produced them.  Have 22 films, in between them, up their sleeves and the Bond 23 is likely to star Daniel Craig and scheduled to release in the end of 2011 by the MGM and Broccolis. The title is Sky Fall. It is the longest continually-running film series in history, having been in ongoing production from 1962 to the present. That’s the Bond….James Bond.

There are very few men who have not raved for a Bond film and about a cricket match in across the globe. Bond was the unique choice of millions from all ages and all walks of life. Bond is the sexiest man on the planet because he is written as an awesome lover and adventurous, a perfect psychology. But due to his handsome looks and his killer instinct has had the opposite sex also go mad about the character called Bond….James Bond.

Be it the qualities of the bond like perfect finishing style, the out of the world gizmos, Driving styles, Martini sipping, calculative moves while facing the enemy, stay cool attitude even on his death bed, ease of weapon handling and of course last but not the least the dressing style all the ingredients needed to drive you crazy. Starting with “Dr. No” in 1962, each incarnation of Bond, from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig, has given men a look at how to live the high life, one of sophistication and grace, but far from gentle. That’s the Bond….James Bond.

But many may come and go as Bond, the one Bond remembered and forever as the real Bond is none other than the impeccable, suave and Scottish legend Sir Thomas Sean Connery. The Bond who took the world cinema fanatics by storm on his seven adventurous rides from Dr. No, From Russia with love, Gold Finger, Thunderball, You only live twice, Diamonds are forever and Never say never again. Among the films Connery rates From Russia with love as his favourite movie.  Among six finalists chosen and screen-tested by Broccoli, Saltzman, and Fleming, Connery was not the first, choice in the sixties. But went on to print his indelible mark on the character, infact he became a yard stick for Bond.

Just listen to what greats say about Sean Connery. Steven Spielberg – the fiction king says Sean is the only genuine movie star left.

His contemporary and the present Bond, Daniel Craig feels, `He set up something that was genuine. The films are embedded in people’s memories. They always had some ability to entertain.’

Another contemporary Roger Moore, who acted in seven Bond films says, it was the Scottish actor who started the world’s love affair with Bond.

Noted Model and actor, Bond girl Domino Petachi in Never Say Never Again, Kimila Ann "Kim" Basinger felt Women love Sean and Sean loves golf.

Sean Connery was also chosen "The Sexiest Man Alive" by "People" Magazine in 1989. Right to his critics and fans as till date when something crops in mind about Bond, then the character would shape into this suave gentleman. That’s the Bond….James Bond… the real Bond. Hats off to you Sir!!!
