"We have to talk between men": Sean Connery, a macho but funny James Bond

2020-10-31T21:50:44.181Z


Hands to buttocks, hyper-virility… The 007 played by the actor who died on the night of Friday to Saturday embodies a bygone era.


Everything passes in the amused glow of those doe eyes, what a paradox for a dominant male.

Everything flows in this smile that melts the last glaciers.

You can hear everything in this deep, warm voice as if dolby stereo had been invented for her.

And yet, Sean Connery's James Bond sixties, what a macho!

Not just him, okay.

We loved him so much, too.

We still laugh at his moldy swimsuits, his generously exhibited hair, from the torso to the armpits, like a certificate of virility valid for at least 1 kilometer around.

But here he is in the middle of a massage session in "Goldfinger".

Arrives a sidekick.

The hot sexy granddad who caressed her back is asked to leave: "We have to talk between men."

And the gesture accompanies the word: a good slap on the buttocks ... Smile understood.

We are in the 1960s. Another time.

That of the heads of families and the James Bond Girls, accessories, a bit like his gadgets.

"Permitted to rape?"

"

Agent 007 is not slacking off.

He slaps, squeezes to steal a kiss, struggles to put his female prey to the ground (today that kind bickering would more likely pass as assault and battery), and on at least one occasion he rapes.

"Permitted to rape?"

»Even quipped in 2016 a magazine revisiting this original decade, a squeaky nod to the« license to kill »which gave its title to a film.

Are we bickering?

No, we don't even laugh: cinema is life, as it was at the time, better or worse, bigger, crazier, and everything.

Like this scene where a cloud of sirens surround the agent in the service of his majesty in a swimming pool.

Sean Connery and Ursula Andress in "James Bond 007 vs. Dr. No", the first film of the saga.

EON Productions  

Bond "is" hyper-virility, the white male under 50 in all his superhero splendor with gadgets but without special effects, guaranteed natural - to the hair - and Sean Connery embodied him more than anything. another player in the franchise.

Roger Moore?

He's worse in the higher macho genre, some say, but he's imposing so much less.

Timothy Dalton?

Invisible, bland.

Pierce Brosnan?

Elegant, delicate, embodying a turn confirmed by the blue eyes and class of Daniel Craig, more metrosexual, less arrogant.

For many fans, Sean Connery is the only true Bond, the first forever, also for his faults, funny macho, male who does good.

And the actor who died on Saturday has an incomparable advantage over all his followers: this lover of whiskey more than of vodka martini in life is Scottish.

Like 007. Dry bottom and 100% pure malt.

Sean Connery, his name is Bond, his blood too.
