M’s Speech to Bond

M’s speech to Bond in GoldenEye has to go down as one of the great monologues in the Bond movies. Pierce Brosnan was the new Bond, and we had a female M in Judi Dench, which people weren’t so sure about, but this one scene likely laid every concern to rest.I especially love it when Bond says “point taken,” thinking that would defuse the situation, but M just goes right on to tell him how she’d be perfectly happy to “send a man out to die.” And this was after she uttered the famous phrase, “sexist, misogynist dinosaur.”It’s brilliant. It launched one of the greatest character portrayals in the Bond movie canon.
