Skyfall‘s pivotal shootout scene begins with the villain Silva catching up with Bond at 007’s boyhood abode. With machine guns loaded and ready to fight, Silva and his henchmen blare the above blues song by The Animals, Boom Boom (it’s actually a cover of the John Lee Hooker classic).
Great tune!
“They kept me for five months in a room with no air. They tortured me, and I protected your secrets. I protected you. But they made me suffer. And suffer. And suffer. Until I realized, it was you who betrayed me. You betrayed me. So, I had only one thing left. My cyanide capsule in my back left molar. You remember, right? So, I broke the tooth and bit into the capsule. It… burned all my insides, but I didn’t die. Life clung to me like a disease. And then I understood why I had survived. I needed to look in your eyes one last time.”
-Raoul Silva, “Skyfall”
