Just Perfect !!!

Rating: 10/10 (20 August 2019)

After I watched the 'Skyfall' first time few years ago, I totally forgot what happened in the movie. But I remember just a one dialogue, when Bond shaves with a cut throat razor, 'l like to do some things the old fashioned way.' Now that I re-watched it, I love how beautifully the theme of 'old vs new' is played entirely in the movie.
But there is a little irony. Bond is comparatively younger than the villain, who was also an ex-MI6 operative. An old villain acts as a cyberterrorist and uses advanced technologies. On the other hand, a young Bond tries to stick with the traditional techniques and methods. There is a funny scene, where Bond shows a tiny radio transmitter and tells the villain, 'It's the latest thing from Q-Branch. It's called a radio.' He likes to identify the gadget as an old invention, no matter how advanced it is.
Bond likes to drive an old car because the latest company cars come with the trackers. In the third act, M asks 'where are we going?' Bond literally replies, 'back in time. Somewhere we'll have the advantage.' In his old childhood house 'Skyfall', a housekeeper offers him a knife because there are no firearms but an old rifle. The housekeeper says, 'but if all else fails, sometimes the old ways are the best.' That knife results into the death of the villain. I also watched the 'Spectre' right after it, but the 'Spectre' lacks such fineness.
