Spectre and Daniel Craig

Daniel Craig as ' James Bond' in Spectre will join Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) from The Man From Uncle, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) from 'Mission Impossible' as the top spies of 2015. Of course there are others but for now we will concentrate on these three as well as the past characters from each of these movies.
Of Ethan Hunt, Solo, Jason Bourne, Jack Bauer and James Bond, Bond is the most popular of all not only in the native audience but the world audience as well. While Hunt, Bourne and Bauer are more of the recent 20th century spies, Napoleon Solo and Bond are your classical 60s and 70s heroes.
From Sean Connery, Roger Moore in the early 60s to Timothy Dalton in the 80s, Pierce Brosnan in the early 90s to the latest Daniel Craig in the 2000s, all have played the character of Bond as created by Ian Fleming- paid assassin, gadget man, playboy and seducing women.
It was for the first time when Daniel Craig joined this elite list that emotions and attachment was added to the spy's rather bare emotional cabinet.
One interesting thing to note is that all artists/actors playing Bond are British, well that is obvious is it not. Well not exactly British, Pierce Brosnan is Irish but for us he speaks the language we comprehend.
Napoleon Solo along with Illya Kuryakin are the two agents of the United Network Command for Law Enforcement (U.N.C.L.E), a TV show which rivaled James Bond as far as gadgets and spy work are concerned.
In fact the closest rival to Bond would have been Solo, he was as cunning, barely emotional and would have given Bond a run for money as far being the playboy of the year would be concerned.
It is Daniel Craig as Bonds personal relationship with 'M' (Judi Dench) that is around which most of his movies pivot while the rest maintained more at a professional level.
With respect to the 1960s, Star Trek (Original Series), Hawaii Five-0, Bond movies gave us a glimpse into the future as far use of technology is concerned be it CCTV cameras, wireless communication devices or use of a computer which responds back. Yes, color and HD films attract us more, but it was not about the black and white but what they gave the future scientists to think about however fictional and scripted the movie looked.
Lets hope, Spectre turns out to be the farewell Daniel Craig wanted- a fitting end to a career as Bond which puts him in an envious list.
