| | This contest is fueled by the following news: |
| | James Bond, also known as “Agent 007”, is the fictional English spy who for the first time appeared in the books of Ian Fleming and received wide popularity owing to both the on-screen version of these books, and appearances of this character in the films which have been shot on the plots of other authors also.
Fleming, after writing the first book about James Bond in 1952, wrote a number of productions with his role.
James Bond’s roles have been played by:
Sean Connery (1962-1967; 1971)
George Lazenby (1969)
Roger Moore (1973-1985)
Timothy Dalton (1987-1989)
Pierce Brosnan (1995-2002)
Daniel Craig (2006)
If you come across a person who did not hear a word about James Bond, and the number 007 does not raise any associations in him, what would you do? It is clear, that you can not explain much to such a person. About this character, there is no common opinion – some consider him as a hero, others - a relic of the cold war, and the rest relate to the agent 007 with sarcasm – as “a sexual maniac leaving behind him numerous bodies of women”, “a violent alcoholic’, “a villain-tadpole”, “wetted stupid” – these are the opinions of opponents of the Spying James Bond. Let us try to understand what is the “most popular spy in the world”.
NAME: “Bond. James Bond”. Practically speaking, these days you will not find a single person who never heard this name in his life. And after all, somewhere in the fifties, if you were called by this name in London, nobody would pay any attention to you. Still in the beginning, this unnoticeable name was adopted by the creator of agent 007 from the name of an English scientist-ornithologist. Remember, in the film “Die Another Day” Bond holds a book called “Birds of the West Indies” in his hands? And so, the author of this book is no one else but James Bond himself, truly speaking, not fictional, but the real one.
NUMBER: Number 007 may be discussed separately. It is remembered that in one of the versions it was claimed that the agent of the British secret service is some lord with a broken heart who had lived in the eighteenth century and he signed his reports to the queen by this name. But it seems improbable and, you may agree, it is more like fiction.
The double zero in the number means he was working in the department “00” whose agents have the right to murder while on duty. The number after zero is the personal number of the employee of the department. As you understand, the personal number of Bond is seven. This number is considered by the majority of people either magical, or the number that brings good luck.
Incidentally, in the book by Ian Fleming “You Only Live Twice” James Bond is allocated one more number - the number of the employee of the diplomatic service in Japan – “7777” - four sevens. As the chief of Bond, M said about this, “you are simply hooked to this digit”.
