James Bond (Daniel Craig) reflects on his life after a night of drinking (don't we all) in Skyfall (2012)

The Hangover

This is a great montage scene of James Bond’s (Daniel Craig) life away from MI6 in Skyfall (2012). It seems fun at first, if not eventful, but we quickly get the feeling that Bond’s escapades ring hollow. I particularly like how there is zero dialogue in the montage, no matter the situation. A tryst with a girl, a lively drinking game (with a weird-looking obviously CGI-ed scorpion on his hand, no less…it couldn’t have been something else? also shout out to Michael G. Wilson’s son Gregg making a cameo) or “the next day” – Bond is alone with his thoughts, and he obviously hates it.
