A James Bond marathon has been playing on TV recently and I thought that it would be a good topic for a blog. The James Bond series has been one of the most successful British movie franchises to date, with world-wide acclaim. The character Bond, James Bond, is a suave renegade spy who does what he needs to do to catch the bad guys, while always having time to pick up a few gorgeous women along the way. While not as brutal as a Jack Bauer like character, he still is able to avoid international laws without much consequence and in the end still gets praised for it. Even though Bond isn't a real man, the popularity that the series has seen over the past few decades is a testament to how many people truly admire the character and his antics. All of this makes me wonder, would a real-life version of a Bond-like spy, who goes after terrorists without adhering to the law receive the same kind of praise from the general public, or is it just his sex appeal and skills with a gun, that make him so intriguing? Thoughts?
