James Bond "007" vs The World RCEGN 8902 C01
10/1 - 11/5 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Ever since 1962, James Bond has been an on-screen challenge to any bad guy aiming to wreak havoc on the world. How has the character of Bond evolved in the ensuing 60 years? Has he evolved? How has the world changed? And how have other filmmakers presented their spies and villains in contrast or in compliment to Bond? From George Smiley to Austin Powers and from agent OSS 117 to Harry Palmer, for six weeks we'll look at Bond and his fellow agents and examine the spy craze of the 60's to a more modern approach to spying. And how much have things changed, and how much have they stayed the same?
