Look Nº 846 - Man or Woman?

Caros amigos e leitores, quero partilhar convosco como foi a minha primeira ida ao cinema. Foi em 1985, tinha 13 anos! Foi na grandiosa sala do Casino da Figueira da Foz, foi na estreia do filme "A View to a Kill", o charme de Roger Moore no papel de James Bond e sem pipocas barulhentas! Uma época que, de certa forma, simboliza o prestígio do cinema clássico. A memória desse dia, tal como de 007, faz-me ficar nostálgica desse tempo passado!

Dear friends and readers, I want to share with you the first time I went to the movies. It was in 1985, I was 13 years old! It was in the grand hall of the Figueira da Foz Casino, at the premiere of the movie “A View to a Kill”, the charm of Roger Moore in the role of James Bond and no noisy popcorn! A time that, in a way, symbolizes the prestige of classic cinema. The memory of that day, like 007, makes me nostalgic for a time gone by!


Desde 1985 o mundo mudou. E como mudou! A polémica do momento é sobre quem deve interpretar o agente secreto mais famoso do cinema. Um homem ou uma mulher? Os fãs estão divididos! O último actor a interpretar 007, Daniel Graig, deixou claro que o papel de James Bond deve continuar masculino. Eu também estou de acordo com essa opinião! Não por achar ou acreditar que as mulheres não sejam capaz de assumir o protagonismo, mas sim porque Bond, foi concebido como um homem pelo seu criador.

Since 1985, the world has changed. And how it has changed! The controversy of the moment is about who should play the most famous secret agent in the movies. A man or a woman? Fans are divided! The last actor to play 007, Daniel Graig, made it clear that the role of James Bond should remain male. I agree with that opinion too! Not because I think or believe that women aren't capable of taking the lead, but because Bond was conceived as a man by his creator.

Há argumentos fortes de ambos os lados. Os que defendem a Bond feminina dizem que o cinema é dominado por heróis masculinos e, que chegou a altura de acabar com esse esterótipo. Por outro lado, aqueles que acreditam que Bond deve permanecer homem, sugerem a criação de uma personagem feminina forte para rivalizar com Bond e que se afirme por si mesma, uma nova heroína poderosa!
 
There are strong arguments on both sides. Those in favor of a female Bond say that cinema is dominated by male heroes and that the time has come to break that stereotype. On the other hand, those who believe that Bond should remain a man suggest creating a strong female character to rival Bond and assert herself, a powerful new heroine!


O cinema, como qualquer arte, é um espelho da sociedade e as questões de género dividem opiniões e pessoas, talvez o problema não esteja em escolher um Bond masculino ou feminino, mas em criar novas e fantásticas personagens tanto para homens como para mulheres que desafiem as nossas expectativas! Que tal eu no papel de uma agente secreta ao serviço de Sua Majestade?

Cinema, like any art, is a mirror of society and gender issues divide opinions and people, perhaps the problem is not in choosing a male or female Bond, but in creating new and fantastic characters for both men and women that defy our expectations! How about me in the role of a secret agent in Her Majesty's service?







E vocês? como se posicionam? Defendem um Bond fiel à tradição, ou agradar-vos-ia uma mulher 007? A polémica está longe de terminar, mas o que é certo é que Bond continua a gerar paixões, tal e qual como o vi sentada nas cadeiras de veludo no Casino da Figueira da Foz!

How about you? Do you support a Bond faithful to tradition, or would you like a female 007? The controversy is far from over, but what is certain is that Bond continues to generate passions, just as I saw him sitting in the velvet chairs at the Figueira da Foz Casino!

  4. Oh, such a lovely photo shoot. Love those Mary Janes. Oh Sean Connery was the man for me in the Bond films. I can't think of a female actress up to that magnitude and could Tateum Channing be just eye-candy in a Bond film? Of course, some day I feel certain there will be a blend where we won't know the difference between man and woman. Just a person will play the part.

  6. Well.. James Bond is and should be Jame Bond. Just Saying. Why not a new character? Agent whatever they want.
    Maybe they should make some movies about how life should be on Earth. Too much negativity....

    I love your outfit. The jacket (by the way, there is a movie Thw Jacket, a great movie - Daniel Graig plays in it as well), is ... wonderful. I love it. And the hairband is also beautiful.

  8. James Bond este James Bond, o legenda. Si asa ar trebui sa ramana. Parerea mea.
    Imi place foarte mult tinuta ta.

    1. Translation:
      James Bond is James Bond, a legend. And so he should remain. In my opinion.
      I like your outfit very much.

  9. Elegante e fantástico look, adorei especialmente o casaco.
    Como sou um pouco tradicionalista apoio o Bond continuar a ser um homem, mas seria interessante surgir uma nova heroína estilo Bond, em cinema à espaço para todos 🙂

  10. Oh my dear, I wasn't aware that there was this problem and that it was so much discussed but to be honest I would also prefer that Bond remained a man. They already tried bringing a female 007 in the last movie, where the character played by Craig "retired" and it didn't impress nobody. If the test didn't had succes, why change and apply the change? Anyways there are already many female main characters and heroes, there is no reason to take something and force a change that could ruin everything.
    P.S.: you would be a fantastic movie hero 😉

  15. You look so gorgeous in this outfit. The dress is fit for royalty and I love love love the cardigan!
    I agree. Bond should stay male. As a woman, I am getting sick and tired of the feminist agenda being shoved down everyone's throats. Yes, women can be Bond, but how about write something just as wonderful but ORIGINAL for women and stop trying to take from the men? It's getting insane.

  16. I love this look, Marisa. The cardigan is so beautiful! I prefer a male bond staying true to tradition.

  17. I don't care if it is a man or a woman, as long as the movie is good and well written. However, I think many fans might be disappointed and this is something to consider. Any franchise needs to respect the fans if it wants to keep the fans. Furthermore, by making male characters female, we imply that women should imitate men heroes and that they cannot be heroes on their own, just written copies. I want to see more movies about women- but not women imitating men, but women who are sure of themselves. I think there are many ways to be inspiring. One doesn't have to be a spy to be inspiring. Not that there weren't female spies- there were. Why not make more movies about female spies, maybe even based on real spies and historical events. Why not make movies about women doctors, scientists and so on? All these stories deserve to be told.

    I love your styling btw. It's very sophisticated. I'm sure you'd make a great spy.
