This was posted by a friend on Facebook. I disagreed with the main premise about "Goldfinger" and pointed out that the author distorted his descriptions to support his thesis. James Bond was a rapist |

I don't believe the writer's story about showing "Goldfinger" to his kids and then having to turn it off at that Pussy Galore scene. Bond movies have always featured lurid sexual situations that, I'm guessing, most parents wouldn't want younger kids to see. Is the writer trying to imply that it would have been okay for his kids to watch if it had been a consensual sex scene?

Sometimes I wonder if the 007 brand gets a weird treatment from ppl like that. I'm not discounting Bond's sexual predatory nature in some parts, I'm talking about the Ian Fleming James Bond novels being for adults, thus when did the film franchise become family fun night?
I guess they are entirely separate lanes of course. Probably once Roger Moore came on board, his movies seemed silly & thus less adult I guess.

Yes, but the rape happens in "Thunderball" when Bond blackmails Patricia (Molly Peters) into sex by making her believe that she was responsible for the runaway stretching machine Bond was trapped on (she wasn't). Of course, as was the case in "Goldfinger," after the lady got a Class A rogering by Bond, she is head-over-heels in love with him.

I always had a problem with that scene when Bond pushes himself onto Pussy Galore, but the writer wildly misrepresented the earlier scene of Bond and Jill Masterson. While Bond did break into a hotel room, he did not pressure himself onto Jill. He was trying to stop Goldfinger from cheating, and he obtained Jill's consent to go to dinner with him. As for when the Bond films became family entertainment, I would say around Goldfinger. The film was promoted with toys.

As for when the Bond films became family entertainment, I would say around Goldfinger. The film was promoted with toys. The writer also misrepresented the scene with Pussy Galore. He says he forced her legs apart when all he does is force a kiss on her to which she be becomes a willing partner in ten seconds. He cms it rape, plain and simple. It is a huge stretch to call it rape, and if so it is hardly plain and simple. In context of the plot he has already made an attempt to win her over from Goldfinger and failed. What has he got left? The economy of the free world is about to be destroyed long with 60,000 people. So, he uses one thing he is best at, winning over women. In terms of Pussy this is a double challenge. She is not only with the opposition she is a lesbian. |

IF you wee picking a suitable film to show to young children, a James Bond would not be most people's choice. |
