You know my name..can only mean one thing and it isn't M. The coldest blood runs through my veins means only one thing. The Glimmer Twins knew in the mid 60's. They had some sympathy for him if you recall..I won't write his name, he doesn't deserve it IMO
Interesting point: many think 'You Know My Name' refers to Bond's catchphrase, 'The name's Bond... James Bond.' But if you listen to the lyrics I would deem it far more likely that the lyrics are told from the perspective of M, who, having just promoted Bond to 00 status is having doubts about his capabilities because of his arrogance and recklessness: ‘I’ve seen diamonds cut through harder men’, 'I will replace you’. I think 'You Know My Name' refers to when Bond finds out what M stands for.
@electricuncledave I also think that "I've seen angels fall from blinding heights; but you yourself are nothing so divine" is referring to the fact that M has seen many a 00 die, and the chances are he'll follow in their footsteps.
@RubberRhubarb Indeed, if you imagine M reading these lyrics to Bond they almost read as a warning to bond. I just wrote an essay about the music to this film, Arnold's score is brilliantly put together, it reflects Bond's change from young and reckless to the classic Bond everyone knows, culminating with the original Bond theme played over the end credits.
@electricuncledave actually there's also "When the storm arrives would you be seen with me
By the merciless eyes i've deceived" also tells about how most people(bond girls,cia,fbi and other agency agents or just casual workers) who tend to help bond end up dead when seen with bond by villains bond infiltrated or investigate (deceived or deception by disguise)
@Alxmir23 I don't I quite agree with you there. As I stated I believe the lyrics are told from the view of M; the 'storm' refers to trouble arising with agents; 'would you be seen with me', questions whether they will be affiliated with the MI6 or M, who, having sent someone to investigate them has 'deceived' them. I don't think it relates to people Bond has worked with. Remember, this is chronologically the first Bond story, I believe the lyrics to be prospective rather than retrospective.
@electricuncledave No. This is Bond talking to his potential lovers IE the Bond girls.
I commend you for your interpretation but I'm afraid it isn't right. Frankly, I'm stunned 17 people voted your comment up. The lyrics of the song very clearly correspond with the story of Bond and Vesper in Casino Royale.
@pyranology I'd say bond is talking to a couple of different groups of people. Lovers in the first verse, opponents in the second. Ending the first verse with "...Just next in line" aka "This is how I see you." Ending the second verse with "You may meet your end" aka "I'm to kill you." The overall idea being that he sees women and opponents as games to be played and won, hence the overall poker-game motif. Just my take.
@pyranology I'm sorry I can't see where you're coming from. Could you give me some lyrical examples to back this up? I would also like to point out that your theory is very unlikely correct since Chris Cornell wrote these lyrics to "echo the opening several minutes of the film". He also spoke of the subject matter: "committing murder for the first time, and really introducing [Bond's]self to what may be the rest of his life and how he will live it and what it will mean."
@electricuncledave It has nothing to do with M. It is Bond speaking to the Bond girls. Not a tough song to figure out... listen to the lyrics. I'm amazed you got so many thumbs up... I guess people don't really read comments; just thumbs up the top comment out of habit.
@pyranology I can see where you're coming from but one of my sole reasons for my argument is the fact that Chris Cornell wrote these lyrics to introduce Bond to the audience but more specifically to "echo the opening several minutes of the film". He has also previously mentioned the subject matter of the lyrics: "committing murder for the first time, and really introducing [Bond's]self to what may be the rest of his life and how he will live it and what it will mean."
@electricuncledave Interesting perspective, but the lyrics actually remind me more of the exchange Bond has with a SMERSH agent in the original novel, in which Bond is actually given an dressing down and told that he isn't cold, hard or smart enough to protect his country. I'm probably wrong, but I just thought I'd throw that in.
@roebuckmckinney I have read the novel though don't particularly recall this section. (It's been a while since I read it). Though this relation would more likely be Fleming-screenwriter-lyricist than Fleming-lyricist, it is an interesting point well made.
@Iamatheist1234 Yes, it's during the scene where Bond has broken into M's apartment and he says, 'I thought M was just a randomly assigned letter I had no idea it stood for..' and M cuts in with, 'Utter another syllable and I'll have you killed'.
without getting too serious about this. The lyrics refer to only one subject. "the coldest blood runs through my veins" can only mean one thing and it isn't M...you know my name. just like the Glimmer Twins knew his name in the mid 60's. They had some sympathy for him, if you recall
@SonicFan512345 I beg to differ: "These bastards want your head. And I'm seriously considering feeding you to them."; "Utter another syllable and I will have you killed."
@TheStanley1000 It's right up there. And I can here shades of it in You know My Name. Another favorite of mine is Duran Duran and View to a Kill. Trying to pick the best (for me) out of these is like selecting a favorite child. Do I really have to? :)
I hope Skyfall goes back to keeping the gun and barrel sequence at the beginning of the film, I didn't like how they put it at the end. I also hope they do it like Casino Royale and find a way to make it a apart of the opening sequence. The way they did it in this film was really clever.
@knightofbruma then you dont like james bond films cause roger moore is a living legened . the best bonds go sean . roger , pierce , daniel , dalton and george
@freshpbluessoul so I don't really like bond? I have seen just about all the films and am a huge fan. I don't like Moore's style, and that makes me less of a fan?
@Alxmir23 I think Bond was portrayed better by early Sean Connery, Timothy Dalton, and Daniel Craig, personally. I always saw Roger Moore as sort of a fall back James, but at least he's not George Lazenby... that guy... well I just could never see him as Bond; and Pierce Brosnan only ended like Sean when he reached his later years, like Never Say Never Again. (<-- I'm not saying he looked that old or flabby, but still, he wasn't in the best of shape.
@Night5FOX roger moore was lucky to have the most fights but got branded as the comic bond
there was more comedy relief in his movies and the villains,gadgets and evil plots were more crazy and unreal or extreme,like Drax trying to eliminate all of humans on his space station
Stromberg almost doing WW3 by nuking Moscow and NY
But my fav is sean thimothy and Craig
they play it more seriously(beside connery which in the long run became almost like roger moore bond(diamonds are forever
@Alxmir23 I think that might have been his "downfall" (?) not sure on the choice of word, but yea, I have to agree, he was much more the comedy Bond. I still can't believe they're still making more O.o... Even though Casino Royale was really sort of a remake of the original. I wish they'd remake all the films with Mr. Craig, while using the old Bonds and Bond helpers as main characters within the movies.
@KISSarmyGuy Quantum of Solace isn't "complete" shit . . . It just doesn't have much meaning and the plot wasn't that connected to Casino Royale. It's nice to watch :)
after countless hours and random posts... i have finnally found the core to the problem mister black.. and it looks like i took out your *shoots him with a silenced p99* little acta. *picks up a gun and shoots acta like in the intro* *intro starts*
This James Bond song is really awesome! I find that Casino Royale the movie is the best Bond movie so far. Daniel Craig is the best! Smiles and Hugs :) :) :)
This song was the only thing I didn't like about Casino Royale when I first saw it, now I think it's brilliant and definitely one of the best Bond themes and the graphics are outstanding. For me Connery was always the best Bond, now he's second best to Craig and Casino Royale is the best Bond film. Critics of Quantum of Solace should watch it again - I did and liked it a lot more second time. It has some brilliant touches and it's only fault is that it is too short for a Bond movie.
@torquemadagb Yeah the first time I saw QoS I thought it was crap but when I later watched it again I enjoyed it a lot more. I still think it was a disappointment coming from CR which was such an excellent film in general, Bond film aside, but people act like it's as bad as TWINE or DAD. THOSE were crap Bond films, especially DAD.
Why does everyone hate TWINE, sure Denise Richards' performance or lack thereof was awful but she was the film's only flaw, it had a coherent and plausible plot, tons of action, and one of the best villains in the series (SPOILER: Elektra King, beautiful, strong-willed, independent and totally psychopathic)
@redcommander27 It seemed too often in TWINE that the plot was there to serve as a setpiece for the action sequences, which were cool but the action should serve the plot, not vice versa. Plus they introduced characters in the beginning only to very quickly kill them off. The woman on the balloon was there only to get killed and give a "vague" reference to Renard. Watch Goldeneye and then TWINE and notice the drop in quality overall.
IMO! Craig's character is awesome, but he don't have the elegant and refined style of a Bond, he's great but not a straight James Bond. (Casino Royale is one of my faves, so don't misinterpret me)
@SirLinkoln Craig's version of Bond is much more darker, grittier and cold hearted. Almost sociopathic. I like that about Craig's version of Bond, but I would like it if we could see him be more suave. Perhaps Skyfall will give us the best of both worlds? I mean, the producer of Skyfall says Craig does a fantastic job in this one that he would want Craig to sign on for 5 more Bond movies. The guy is awesome, but I would also like to see a new Bond in the near future. Perhaps Michael Fassbender?
@KISSarmyGuy quanum wasnt that bad. I thought so, too untill i discussed the plot with my brother. the more I viewed it, the more i liked it. Give it a try once more.
I think Daniel Craig brought a more gritty and macho character as he played James Bond. Pierce Brosnan was more of a charming, swift, elegant type. I absolutely love both of them as Bond, and I think Daniel Craig did a surprisingly magnifcently yet unique twist in his role.
As seen in Quantum of Solace he is much more serious, and less of a sly attitude, more like a 'dont fuck with me attitude' which is very different than Pierce Brosnan, but once again LOVED BOTH OF THEM. Cant wait for #23!
No better start to a Bond film ever. They nailed the trailer, the actor, the opening sequence. QOS was rubbish but this was a REAL Bond film. He is dangerous, good looking, adaptable, lethal and intelligent. Perfect SIS officer.
@joseoscarortiz It's very rare that I see any movie more than once in the theatre, but I think I saw this one 3x!!! Going to upgrade my DVD to the Blu-Ray soon too.
@rectortheo 1 fair play 2 its not the suit its the charm that he hasent got 3 sorry dislecsia i hat to google a lot of stuff and lastly that minor detail builds up to one big problem.
@charlieiscool1000 What? Ian Flaming portrayed bond as a tall,dark,hansom,charming gentalmen craig looks like he has been draged through a thorn bush arse first.
@CompleatNonsense One, this is bond when he starts, so he isn't all super amazing yet. two Daniel Craig, is handsome and can pull off the suit and bow tie and still be a bad-ass 3 spell gentleman correctly when you are dissing one. oh and actually read the fucking books before u say how bond is portrayed.true he doesn't have dark hair, but minor detail
Pure brilliance! Period!

I mean, the producer of Skyfall says Craig does a fantastic job in this one that he would want Craig to sign on for 5 more Bond movies. The guy is awesome, but I would also like to see a new Bond in the near future. Perhaps Michael Fassbender?

LOVE this film. Its the one that got me into the Bond series.
Too bad Quantum of Solace is complete shit. Skyfall will be better.

@KISSarmyGuy Quantum of Solace is not that bad. It's better than all of Brosnan's films except maybe Goldeneye.

@KISSarmyGuy. Hope SKYFALL had used Brosnan's gunbarrel and soundtrack gunbarrel from Tommorow Never Dies.

I think Daniel Craig brought a more gritty and macho character as he played James Bond. Pierce Brosnan was more of a charming, swift, elegant type. I absolutely love both of them as Bond, and I think Daniel Craig did a surprisingly magnifcently yet unique twist in his role.
As seen in Quantum of Solace he is much more serious, and less of a sly attitude, more like a 'dont fuck with me attitude' which is very different than Pierce Brosnan, but once again LOVED BOTH OF THEM. Cant wait for #23!

No better start to a Bond film ever. They nailed the trailer, the actor, the opening sequence. QOS was rubbish but this was a REAL Bond film. He is dangerous, good looking, adaptable, lethal and intelligent. Perfect SIS officer.

@CompleatNonsense One, this is bond when he starts, so he isn't all super amazing yet. two Daniel Craig, is handsome and can pull off the suit and bow tie and still be a bad-ass 3 spell gentleman correctly when you are dissing one. oh and actually read the fucking books before u say how bond is portrayed.true he doesn't have dark hair, but minor detail
