Being a James Bond fan is not enough!

If you want to become Her Majesty’s best

known spy specialist, answer the following questions

carefully…

 

1. Who wrote the James Bond series of novels?

Write his biography in about 5 lines in your own words.

If you need any help, click HERE or HERE. Stick a photo

This is Melanie's answer :

 Ian Fleming wrote the James Bond series of novels.

He was born in London on May the 28^th in 1908. His father, Valentine, served in Parliament before fighting in World War I. When he was nine years old, his father died in combat. He later studied at Sandhurst, the elite military academy. He was a British author who created the famous spy James Bond. His stories became international bestsellers. He died on August the 12th in 1964.  

2. Give the names of the six actors who have portrayed James Bond in the official series + dates and stick photos 

Laure answered with a chart (good idea!):

 

 3. Choose a James Bond movie poster. Write a quick description and say why you have chosen this one. 

Alexandre's choice : 

This movie poster is from the film “From Russia with love” with Sean Connery. In the middle, I can see James Bond. He’s wearing a tuxedo and he is holding a gun in his hand. Behind him, I can see two sexy girls. Bottom left, I can see two girls who are fighting. At the top, there is a helicopter and Russian buildings.

I have chosen this movie poster because I think it is better than the others. It is the  most representative of James Bond.  

 

Sarah's choice :

I chose this poster because I love this movie and this actor. I think this is the best James Bond film I ‘ve ever seen.

     

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yousra's choice : 

 This is Daniel Craig and a James Bond girl. Daniel Craig is wearing a tuxedo and she is wearing a dress. They look injured. Behind, I can see a burning house and smoke. I chose this photo because Daniel Craig   is my favourite.

         

 

 

 

Maxime's choice :

 I find that this poster shows that there is action in this movie, beautiful cars, attractive girls and a lot of stunts.In the middle we can see the principal actor “Pierce Brosnan”.The main color of this poster is my favourite color.

I chose this stunt because it is fantastic and I hope to make the same one day! (just joking!)

 

 

 

 

 

5. The villains  (press « play »): James Bond’s enemies. Choose one and write a few lines about him (or her?), stick a photo

Amélie H's and Amélie D's choice :

His name is Doctor No. He is the villain in the movies with Sean Connery.

We chose this bad guy because this is the first villain appearing in James BOND films and we  spoke of Dr.No. We think he is the  most brutal.

 

 

Greg's and Tété's choice :

This is Jaws. His real name was Richard Kiel. He has got stainless steel teeth. He was in “the spy who loved me” (1977) and “moonraker” (1979)

We chose this one because his teeth are so big and so scary. They are dangerous for James Bond. He is an extremely dangerous villain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alexandre's choice :

I chose the villain Tee Hee. He played in “Live and Let Die” and was Roger Moore’s enemy. He‘s a very tall black man, very imposing .He has a hook instead of a hand.

On this photo he has picked up a chicken!!!

This is what Brice found out :

Q is a fictional character in the James Bond series created by Ian Fleming. He is responsible for the "Q" research and development division of MI6 who invents and delivers the famous James Bond gadgets.

There were 4 different Qs in the James Bond films.

 

 

7. Who is Money Penny? What’s her job? Write a few lines. Choose one and stick a photo + caption

Wassila's answer :

 Money Penny is the secretary of  “M”. She often has a small role in the film but she’s important because she's always in love with James Bond. In "Skyfall" she has a bigger role because she is also a field agent.

 

 

8. Who is M? What’s his/her job? Write a few lines. Choose one and stick a photo + caption

Manon's answer :

 M is the Head of  the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) and James Bond's boss. It's a woman or a man according to the films. M is always an old man/woman. James Bond has a lot of respect for him/her.
