A Royale Pain (the best of film nudity)

Of course no “best of nudity” would be complete without mentioning a Bond film. Few mainstream films have gained as much continual attention over their use of nudity. First raising eyebrows in 1962 for its introduction of Ursula Andress in what was for the time a string bikini, the films would perpetuate such a tradition of scantily clad beautiful women that for some, the Bond Girls were more of a draw than the action and titular spy put together. By the time Timothy Dalton hit the screen as the international man of mystery, the 80’s had arrived and brought with them a women’s movement that had a view to kill the film’s blatant sexual depiction of women (and with a history of names like you-know-what Galore, who can blame them?) Their complaints didn’t change much. The women became slightly stronger, a bit more fleshed out (no pun intended), but when Bond returned in the 90’s he once again had beautiful women on each arm. It seemed sex and Bond were destined to be.

That having been said, this mention goes not to the luscious (though poorly acted) thighs of Denise Richards or the barely concealed breasts of Ursula Andress or the nubile body of a young Diana Riggs but rather to a character which, despite being in over forty years of cinema, has only appeared fully nude once.

Bond himself.
Nudity can be a form of vulnerability, and few scenes get this across as well as Casino Royale’s torture scene, featuring a nude Daniel Craig, a chair with a hole in the bottom, and a very heavy rope. It’s almost as if Bond’s years of womanizing on the silver screen have come back to make him pay in spades. Indeed, director Martin Campbell’s handling of Bond has him play more of a sexualized object than any of the women in the film. As journalist Vicky Allan writes, “He (Bond) is the one who gets skewered.”

Interestingly, Casino Royale’s ball-whacking scene was in the novel, which was released in 1953. But Casino Royale’s rights were already wrapped up with another company, so Harry Saltzman and Albert Broccoli decided to make Dr. No as the first Bond film instead. Dr. No the film was surprisingly faithful to the book, though Ursula Andress’ iconic emergence from the sea has nothing on the book’s Honey Rider, first appearing half naked on the shore, and choosing to cover her broken nose (a souvenir of rape) rather than her other assets. By the time the much darker Casino Royale was available to make, the series was already caught up in its trend-setting formula of sex, action, and levity. One wonders what direction the series might have taken had Casino Royale been the first Bond film, though one can’t imagine that any version could be better done than 2006’s reboot.

indeed, it is the most popular Bond to date. It seems a Bond who gets his scrotum whipped was just the medicine the series needed. And nobody does it better than Daniel Craig.

Одно непонятно - ремейк чего? Это не ремейк, а вполне себе оригинальный фильм. Экранизация это, экранизация. Никаким ремейком тут не пахнет и пахнуть не должно.

Их даже два было - только вот никакого отношения к нынешнему фильму они не имеют. Ни в качестве ремейков, ни в качестве чего-либо еще. Прошу прощения за подобное буквоедство, но по другому не могу.

Я бы с удовольствием поспособствовал - но в данный момент, увы, никак не могу. С антарнетом проблемы - скачать то получится, а вот выложить куда либо в ближайшие несколько дней вряд ли.
