- Title
'I Know Where You Keep Your Gun': Daniel Craig as the Bond-Bond Girl Hybrid in Casino Royale.
- Authors
FUNNELL, LISA
- Abstract
The article examines British actor Daniel Craig's portrayal of the spy character James Bond in the film "Casino Royale," which itself is part of a large film franchise based on Bond. The development of the Bond character through various films associated with the franchise is explained by the author, with emphasis given to portrayals of heroic masculinity. The author argues that Craig's portrayal of the spy represents a feminized portrayal of the character which combines the heroic masculine nature of previous portrayals with depictions of women, or "Bond Girls," in earlier films.
