Bond Girls. The selection of each Bond Girl is almost as anticipated as the casting of a new James Bond. A Bond Girl is not just beautiful-she is also a femme fatale , a woman that will cause Bond great trouble when he inevitably finds himself attracted to her. Some of them are outright villains, while others have their own tragic stories and vulnerabilities that make Bond feel protective. Bond usually wins the girl, but sometimes she betrays him and sometimes she dies in his arms.
James Bond has found success outside of films and novels. A radio adaptation, a series of newspaper comic strips and numerous graphic novels have all featured Bond, either in original stories or versions of the films or novels. However, the most successful non-film medium for Bond has been video games. 1997s Golden eye 007 for the Nintendo 64 was a smash hit-many people continue to play it, although the system itself is outdated.
Bonds popularity has inevitably led to imitation and parody(滑稽的模仿). Comedy series like the cartoon Inspector Gadget took elements of James Bond and mined them for material. Perhaps the most well-known Bond parody is Mike Myers Austin Powers series. In these films, the secret agent is thawed out after several decades of being frozen , which explains why he retains his swinging 60s attitude and fashion sense.
James Bond is more than just a fictional character: The franchise has defined the espionage thriller and will surely influence this genre for decades to come.
