Have you guys seen the new Bond movie??? If not, here's the trailer for it below.



You should seriously watch it! It is such a great movie. There is a lot of action and it has got a great story line. Of course, since it is a Bond movie, it is about an MI6 agent (a spy for England) trying to save people's lives yet again. But this time the villain is just a little different. He does not do this for power or for money, he does this for revenge. I do not want to give away too much, so you will just have to watch it. Xp 

But, I love this movie. Bond sort of reminds me of me. In the way of he doesn't fully understand what was going on between M and Raoul Silva. Bond didn't really know the full story of Silva for most of the movie. Just as I do not know what's going on with Hamlet. He came in to my room looking like someone who just escaped from the loony bin, "Lord Hamlet, with his doublet all unbraced; / No hat upon his head; his stockings fouled, / Ungartered, and down-gyvèd to his ankle; / Pale as his shirt; his knees knocking each other; / And with a look so piteous in purport / As if he had been loosèd out of hell" (2.1.78-83). It scared me, I didn't know why he had come into my chambers for. Besides looking like a crazy person, he was acting like one too, "He took me by the wrist and held me hard. / Then goes he to the length of all his arm, / And, with his other hand thus o'er his brow, / He falls to such perusal of my face / As he would draw it. Long stayed he so." (2.1.87-91). He could have done anything to me, but he just held me there for a while, then left. I was thoroughly confused, and very scared.

In the movie Bond looks toward M as a parental figure. He loves her like he would a mother, and would do anything for M. *spoilers* He even holds her while she is dying, how sad. :( I believe that if I am Bond, then my father would be M. I would do anything for my father, and I love him dearly. But I hope that I do not have to see him die. Bond followed her orders right down to the very end. I want to be just as loyal as he was and I have listened to my father thus far, "But as you did command / I did repel his fetters and denied / His access to me." (2.1.108-110) Unfortunately, no matter how loyal Bond is to M, M still feels regret for this loyalty. She feels regret, because following her orders can get Bond into trouble that he didn't necessarily have to get into. I feel like my father feels this same kind of regret with me. I followed his orders to stay away from Hamlet, and Hamlet came to my bedroom all crazy. My father was even sorry for telling me to do what he told me to do, "That hath made him mad. / I am sorry that with better heed and judgment / I had not quoted him. I feared he did but trifle / And meant to wreck thee. But beshrew my jealousy! / By heaven, it is as proper to our age / To cast beyond ourselves in our opinions / As it is common for the younger sort / To lack discretion." (2.1.111-117) he said to me.

My father told the king what his son/nephew had done and devised a plan with him. He told the king, "At such a time I’ll loose my daughter to him. / Be you and I behind an arras then, / Mark the encounter. If he love her not / And be not from his reason fall'n thereon, / Let me be no assistant for a state / But keep a farm and carters." (2.2.154-159). Which basically means that I have to spy on Hamlet, like Bond. I have to be clever, seductive, and devious all at once. Maybe I should watch more movies to perfect Bond's ways of espionage.

Like Bond says, "You don't think I enjoyed what we did this evening, do you? What I did tonight was for King and country! You don't think it gave me any pleasure, do you?"
I must do this for King and country!
