Cracks are starting to spread in the IMF, makes sense the institution is basically busted by the next movie…here there’s a very handsome traitor causing problems for everyone, Ethan Hunt and his new life most of all. What is it about working for a foreign intelligence service that makes you go insane and decide killing people is fine as long as you can convince yourself it’s for a Good Reason. Democracy or false flags or preemptive strikes or whatever. Oh…
I did not expect to like the James Bond movie titled “Octopussy” as much as I did, definitely a fun one. India’s a good location. Simple story, and lots of time spent at the circus with cute ladies. Makes the American Military men seem so stupid lol.
It’s always false flag operations with these bad guys innit.
An exercise in nuance and perspective and storytelling as a metric for right, wrong, truth, fiction. Goes down so easy for how filling it is, loved it. Liked this best as, or was maybe most impressed by how well this plays as a coming-of-age story for Daniel, with an angle on looming adulthood that I’d never seen before. He’s not just being introduced to the depth of his parents’ dissatisfactions, I’d argue he’s learning more about the unpredictability of life…
