Talk:Mr. White (James Bond)

message: This is the amount that Le Chiffre lost in his stock market gamble, NOT the amount given him to invest by Obanno. The article should probably read "large sum of money" rather than that specific amount.

message: "He activates Vesper to ensure that Bond does not escape from the tournament" Is that really so? Doesn't the first encounter between them happen after the Casino scenes?
He sees Vesper Lynd afater the Casino Royal scenes after the money has been won by Bond.
I question this line for other reasons... doesnt white force Vesper to do his bidding by threatening to kill Vesper's husband?  Activate does not seem to be the proper verb. misterboston
Vesper is the accountant she was not married. She was the one who was funding the extra money for Bond if he needed it. This included getting rid of the bodies Ie: the paying of Mathis. Vesper struck a deal with Mathis that she would con Bond into settling down and then taking his money however Bond caught on. BCFC Blue 13:30, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

He's shot in the leg, it could be in the calf, but that is still part of the leg. When you watch the scene you can see by the way he falls that he was shot in the leg, also you can see a soft mist-spray of blood coming from the leg area.86.138.125.156 16:04, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Why is this on the page? SPECTRE hasn't been mentioned in a Bond film since Diamonds Are Forever in 1971. Nothing I saw in Casino Royale even hinted at a return of SPECTRE. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 147.70.154.108 (talk • contribs) 07:21, 5 January 2007  (UTC-8)
Casino Royale is a prequel to all of the previous films. So although it is thought that Ernst Stavro Blofeld is dead as well as the organization he ran these events havnt happened yet according to the timeline, for all we know White could be the predecessor to to Blofeld. if that helps you out a bit in getting your facts straight. Also it is hinted that he may be part of SPECTRE but in the article it is said that he may be part of SMERSH which is different, SMERSH meaning death to spys while  SPECTRE stands for(SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion).
Casino Royale is not necessarily a prequel film. Rather, it restarts the Bond continuity afresh, from what I hear tell. On the subject of SMERSH, the real life Russian organisation of the same name was quite real during Ian Fleming's lifetime. However, it is now defunct, and I doubt that it will be ressurected in film now that the Soviet Union is no more. SPECTRE is considerably more likely, or even something like OCTOPUS, the group based on SPECTRE that appears in the video game adaptation to From Russia With Love. On a side note, I doubt that a fancifully styled "predecessor to Blofeld" would actually carry out executions. Such an operation would undoubtedly be left to pawns such as Red Grant or Wint and Kidd.

replies: text: I concur. Casino Royale is a reboot film, not a pre-quel. They've taken much of the plot, and characters, from the original 1953 Fleming novel, Casino Royale, but placed them in modern times, post- Cold War. One would know this if one actually paid attention while watching the movie; M says something to the effect of "God, I miss the Cold War" early in the film after learning of Bond's involvement in relation to shooting up the embassy in Africa, and suggesting that in those days he would have had the sense to defect after such a PR disaster. Also, if they truly wanted to make Casino Royale a prequel movie they would have placed it in a 1950's context. I thought Casino Royale was the best Bond film yet, but it was the re-boot part I had the most trouble digesting, perhaps because my first exposure to Bond, when I was a kid, was the books, not the movies. IMHO, the worst Bond movies are all the ones with Roger Moore in them. He's a pussy, nothing like the original Bond character Fleming envisioned, rough around the edges, a true assassin, albeit supposedly for the "good guys". Dalton was probably a close second best, arguably so. Anyway, we all digress, these discussion pages are supposed to be for making suggestions to improve the accuracy or quality of the actual Wikipedia article, not a soapbox for expressing our own personal opinions or wishes for future films. On that note, can anyone clarify if that's a typo or not in this article, I thought it was supposed to be $150 mil not $120 mil up for grabs in the silver briefcase.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:MrWhite007.JPG

message: "Green Planet" has been listed as the name of the terrorist organization based on the following;
"We have learned that the plot centres on an attempted coup in a South American country. Dominic Greene^ (Mathieu Amalric), who works behind the cover of an organisation called Green Planet, wants to control one of the world's most important natural resources* and to aid in this he makes a deal with an exiled South American general to get him back into power."
However, "behind the cover of an organization called Green Planet" implies that GP is not the name of the terrorist organization but rather of a front, providing a "cover" behind which Mr. Greene and his terrorist organization works.  Until we have something more solid I feel like "unnamed terrorist organization" is a more accurate thing to put on the page.  (Happy to discuss further, but could you please respond on the "Quantum of Solace" page?  Thanks).147.9.167.197 (talk) 22:06, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

* Oppose. I think this is a point where the guidelines should be ignored. Would you also call Mr. T, "T", and Saint George, "George"? Then there is the issue that the title "White" is not obviously a name; the guidelines suggest that the prefix can be used "when this is the simplest and most NPOV way to deal with disambiguation". 81.98.251.134 (talk) 06:58, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
