All spoilers for Casino Royale will be unmarked. You Have Been Warned!The one where the bad guys' plot is to try to steal a country's water.Quantum of Solace is the twenty-second James Bond film by Eon Productions, the second to star Daniel Craig. It was directed by Marc Forster and released on October 31, 2008. Jack White and Alicia Keys performed the Title Theme Tune, "Another Way to Die." At one hour and forty-six minutes, it is also the shortest-ever Bond film (beating Dr. No and Goldfinger, which were both one hour and fifty-one minutes).The story follows on from Casino Royale, making it one of the few Sequel Episodes in the Bond movie franchise. Following the death of Vesper Lynd, Bond is out for revenge against those responsible: an Illuminati-esque crime syndicate known as "Quantum." His rampage eventually leads him to Dominic Greene, a Quantum operative out to overthrow the Bolivian government through a corrupt general named Medrano, and the mysterious Camille, a woman who has unfinished business of her own with the general.The film's title comes from a 1960 short story by Ian Fleming contained in the anthology book For Your Eyes Only, and means "a small degree of comfort."Coinciding with the film's release was the video game adaptation, 007: Quantum of Solace, notable for A) being the first Bond game published by Activision, and B) adapting both this film and Casino Royale.Followed by Skyfall, which went standalone instead of having close ties to this film.

comment
Bloodless Carnage: Downplayed example. Slate and Bond have a brief but brutal fight in Slate's hotel room, and both men sustain minor cuts in the course of the initial brawl. Bond ends the fight by stabbing Slate in the neck and femoral artery, and while there isn't nearly as much blood as there should be, there are some partially obscured pools of blood spreading from Slate's neck and leg.

Heroic BSoD: Bond spends much of the film in the midst of one following the end of Casino Royale, due to Vesper's death. He doesn't really come out of it until the end of the film, and is back to his normal smugly wisecracking self in time for Skyfall.

Ripped from the Headlines
 Quantum of Solace / int_1616e13
comment
Ripped from the Headlines: The movie's a pretty clear reference to the "water wars" in Bolivia in 2000, when water rights were sold to a corporation which sharply increased the price beyond the ability of many Bolivians to pay for it, inciting demonstrations that forced the government to reverse the decision. The US agreement in the movie to support a coup in order to get oil also recalls America's swift support for (and possible involvement with) the attempted coup against Chavez in Venezuela in 2002. Interestingly, the evil plot from the movie is less evil than the real-life one, as the intended price hike is less than the one that really happened.

Not-So-Harmless Villain: Dominic Greene. He has no fighting training whatsoever, and for the most part of the movie he runs away while his henchmen kill enemies for him. Still, he stands his own against Bond. Few other lead villains in the Daniel Craig era can say that.

comment
I'll Take That as a Compliment: After realising that the U.S. are of the boorish flavour of Eagleland this time around (willing to look the other way for a bit of oil), he makes a quip to Leiter about the U.S.'s interventionism. Leiter responds considering it a compliment, which is a historically well-placed zinger, given Britain's status as a world superpower before the U.S. took its place, and that the end of Britain's role as a superpower was in a botched attempt at interventionism for oil.

Poor Communication Kills: Bond asks a mook at gunpoint who his employers are; the mook tells him to go screw himself. So Bond throws him off a roof. In his subsequent phone call with M, Bond learns the man he killed was a member of Special Branch (British Metropolitan Police, whose duties include bodyguarding non-royal VIPs) guarding the special envoy to the Prime Minister, and therefore on his side, or at least according to appearances (the guy was corrupt by dint of working for a Quantum member).

Cruel and Unusual Death
 Quantum of Solace / int_1e584efa
comment
Cruel and Unusual Death: Agent Strawberry Fields drowned in crude oil. Bond leaves Greene in the desert to die what will undoubtedly be an agonising death from exposure, then caps it off by giving him a can of motor oil (getting revenge on Fields' behalf) and taunting him about how long it will be before he's desperate enough to drink it. When his body is found, it turns out that he was shot, but there's still motor oil in his stomach, showing that he did get to that point. Or else it could be that the Quantum operatives who found him force fed the oil.

Aborted Arc: The film seemed to set up Quantum as the new organization that Bond and MI6 would have to contend with as a Spectre stand-in, since there were many high ranking people in positions of power within Quantum’s organization. However, Skyfall would end up being a more personal assignment, and Spectre would end up revealing that the titular organization is the true muscle behind Quantum, which ended up merely being one of many Spectre fronts.

Mythology Gag
 Quantum of Solace / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: From Russia with Love: Greene introduces himself to Bond by saying "My friends call me Dominic," just as how Bond and Tatiana Romanova did. Bond and Jinx do the same thing in Die Another Day as well. Goldfinger: Fields' death is a homage to that of Jill Masterson. The Spy Who Loved Me A henchman tries to stop falling by grabbing an article of Bond's clothes, like Saundor. Bond and Camille's trek through the desert in all their finery echoes his and Triple XXX's. A View to a Kill Ax Crazy French villain attacking Bond with an axe? Check. Casino Royale Bond drinks his Martini shaken. It is explicitly not described as "shaken, not stirred." This is also a callback to a similar bit in the previous film. note Speaking of that, look up Two Decades Behind on the Casino Royale article; it's pretty hard to find Kina Lillet or high-proof Gordon's Gin to make a Vesper cocktail in the 21st century. At one point, Mathis muses on the nature of heroes vs. villains, and how the line between the two blurs as one ages — Bond does something similar in the novel of Casino Royale.

Bilingual Bonus: Elvis, Dominic's henchman, is first seen speaking to his mother on the phone in Swiss German, talking about the hot weather in Haiti. The actor playing him and director Marc Forster are both of Swiss descent, and probably thought it quite an amusing in-joke. Mathis repeatedly telling the taxi driver "callate," which is Spanish for "shut up."

 Quantum of Solace / int_372bc105
comment
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Way out on the cynical end; both the British and American governments are happy to let the coup take place as long as they get their oil, and Bond and Camille are both motivated to stop Greene for revenge rather than any higher ideals. Though it's worth noting that Bond, Felix and Camille all express disgust for what Greene and Medrano have planned for Bolivia, even if they're guided by more pragmatic considerations.

Disposable Vehicle Section: The film opens with a chase scene, during which a truck collides with Bond's car, ramming a broken fender through Bond's door. Bond elects to dispose of that door to free himself (unfortunately leaving his bulletproof car open to gunfire).

Every Car Is a Pinto: Averted. During the opening car chase, various vehicles fall or roll down cliffs with nary an explosion in sight. Inverted during the climax. In an effort to get away from Bond, one of the mooks drives backwards, and ends up hitting a wall. The car itself doesn't explode - however, the wall has hydrogen fuel cells behind it and upon impact, those do explode, ultimately causing the building to burn down.

Actually a bit of a Subverted Trope, as Quantum's plot essentially seems to be "faking" the effects of Global Warming so Mr. Greene's pseudo-nonprofit, Greene Planet, can gain control of the world's water supply.

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder
 Quantum of Solace / int_7c862b8a
comment
Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: The film goes full lengths to show this, to near exaggeration. Might have as well called it Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: The Movie. The car chase sequence in the prologue is to prevent Mr. White from being forced into this. From Casino Royale, Vesper betrayed Bond, and all of MI6 (and the UK) by playing reluctant double-agent. Ironically, this happened because she was initially betrayed by her very boyfriend whom she betrayed her organisation for. This kicks off the plot for the film. M is injured by her bodyguard Mitchell, after which she discovers that he was an agent working for Quantum (and by extension, Spectre). Camille uses Dominic Greene to get to Medrano. To do this, she tried to pay off one of his geologists to sell her information, possibly on Medrano's location. And in an almost karmic way, Greene catches wind of this and kills the geologist, and sends a different geologist/mook to intercept Camille and kill her. And on top of that, after Camille survives and Medrano shows up to the pier, Greene offers her to Medrano and all but requests him to rape and kill her. M throughout the film accuses Bond of this, from his failure to bring back suspects alive to getting total innocents killed. She even accuses him of killing Guy Haines' bodyguard (which he didn't) to getting Fields killed (though she isn't entirely wrong about this). Guy Haines works as an advisor to the British PM, yet he saw no problem betraying his country just to get in on the action. His Special Branch bodyguard counts too. He indirectly helps his boss, knowing full well of his affiliations. Too bad Greene doesn't recognise his efforts, or recognise him for that matter, and has him shot for even ''looking'' in his direction. At the party for the upcoming Tierra Project in Bolivia, Mathis is betrayed by his friend Carlos, (the chief-of-police secretly on Quantum's payroll). At some point after conversing with Fields and some other guests, Carlos lures Mathis to the parking lot and has him beaten near-death by his officers. He then shoves Mathis into the trunk of Bond's car and later has his officers shoot Mathis to death, all so they can pin his death on Bond. And just to show how even the most insignificant character can be prone to this, it shows Bond and Camille trading in the car to a lone Bolivian farmer for his cargo plane. While in the air, Bond realizes that the car wasn't exactly enough, and anticipates that the farmer will try to earn himself a healthy sum of money by selling out their location to Quantum. Given that three Quantum mooks show up a mere forty seconds later, it's safe to assume that he did.

Artistic License – Art: The montage of the sequences at the opera house alternates between Bond's action scene and scenes from the Tosca's performance happening in the building at the same time. The latter scenes don't follow the opera's actual chronology but are put together in an anachronistic order intended to reflect the parallel action scene.

What Happened to the Mouse?: After the opera sequence, the film all but drops the larger Quantum plotline, including the fates of Mr. White and Guy Haines, and they're nowhere to be seen or heard come the following movie. It eventually saw some resolution with Spectre, though Haines' fate is still up in the air.

Fire/Water Juxtaposition: Casino Royale ended with Bond fighting to save Vesper Lynd from the bad guys in a collapsing building in Venice, and ultimately ended with her drowning in the canal. Appropriately enough, this film ends with a shoot-out in a burning building, where 007 actually does manage to save the girl.

Unusual User Interface
 Quantum of Solace / int_8db4988a
comment
Unusual User Interface: MI6's magical touchscreens. One could say that they were running on a Q OS. Viewer-Friendly Interface: Sort of. Said touchscreens do nothing that couldn't be accomplished with papers and a regular computer. In the tie-in game, they definitely qualify, running some strange combination of DOS and that weird GUI. So intelligent is this interface that when Bond describes Greene's surname as having a 'double-E', the computer inserts a W before he's finished saying the combined word, then replaces it with the two Es. Why such a feature is in place is completely unknown, especially when one factors in that Bond should have been using the phonetic alphabet anyway.

Big Bad Duumvirate: Dominic Greene and General Medrano. Subverted when Greene basically tells him that he'll be a puppet once they put him in power, and if he doesn't like it, Greene's partners will simply have him killed and put another guy in his place (maybe even his own bodyguard). Medrano is seriously annoyed, but reluctantly concedes.

Death by Irony: Mathis is apparently killed and his body is left in Bond's trunk for the police to "find". In Casino Royale, this same method was used by Mathis to get Le Chiffre's Dragon out of the picture. Greene deprives people of water and drowns Strawberry Fields in crude oil, so Bond leaves him in the desert with only a can of oil to drink.

Word Salad Title: Subverted. Even though the title seems meaningless, it actually means "A (very) little bit of comfort" (possibly referring to Bond's movie-length Roaring Rampage of Revenge, followed by his sense of closure at the end) as well as making it a Pun-Based Title.

Foreshadowing: When M tells Bond that Vesper kept a lock of her lovers' hair in her apartment, Bond seems surprised, saying she didn't strike him as the sentimental type. M replies "Well we never really know anyone, do we?" Only minutes later, her own bodyguard is revealed to be a Quantum infiltrator, and injures her before leading Bond on a chase through Siena. Once Dominic Greene is brought into the plot, there are a lot of shots that casually include water in the composition. Greene was found with oil in his stomach and two bullets in the back of his head. Bond gave him a can of oil, but didn't give him a gun. Gasp!

Continuity Nod: Bond's SMG from the ending of Casino Royale makes an appearance at the end of the pre-credits car chase, Le Chiffre and his operation are namedropped, and Bond drops Vesper's necklace (just like she referenced "letting go" in the previous film) in the snow at the end of the film. As a whole, Quantum is very dependent on themes and elements of Casino Royale, more so than any other previous Bond film.

Cacophony Cover Up: After chasing a man into a bell tower, Bond yanks on the bell rope so the noise of the church bell will cover him running up the stairs, preventing the man from plotting his exact position.

Girl of the Week: Deliberately done differently. It's clear to Bond, Fields and the audience that she's just a quick lay, and all Camille gives Bond is a quick peck before apparently leaving him forever. Deconstructed with Fields, since she's used to show Bond that his cold manipulation of the people around him can actually ruin or end their lives.

Dangerous Clifftop Road
 Quantum of Solace / int_bd0796da
comment
Dangerous Clifftop Road: The opening chase finds itself on a sort of cliff (it's a steep but not truly vertical drop, and a road zig-zags down it). Both Bond and his pursuers are skilled enough to navigate the terrain, but the police car following both of them isn't quite as lucky. Bond's pursuers open fire at the cops, and though the officers aren't hit, they duck down for cover. That includes the driver. As a result of this, possibly coupled with damage to the vehicle, the car smashes through the corner of an old building. Cop cars are built to be sturdy (they're probably the only vehicles most people see that are bulletproof), and so the car looks to be in good shape after demolishing part of a building. Unfortunately, still out of control, they go off the cliff. By the time the car tumbles to the road below, it's a wreck.

Despotism Justifies the Means: General Medrano has no problem with Quantum engineering a drought in his own country if it means that Medrano will be the next dictator of it. He is much more annoyed when he finds out that he'll basically be a puppet and will further have to essentially hand over Bolivia's entire water supply to Quantum, but he decides it's worth the price anyway. Granted, the threat of a bullet to the back of his head probably helped there.

Bond drinks his Martini shaken. It is explicitly not described as "shaken, not stirred." This is also a callback to a similar bit in the previous film. note Speaking of that, look up Two Decades Behind on the Casino Royale article; it's pretty hard to find Kina Lillet or high-proof Gordon's Gin to make a Vesper cocktail in the 21st century.

What the Hell, Hero?: M calls Bond out on killing every lead he finds (to the point that he's blamed for the death of a henchman who was killed by The Dragon, not Bond). At the end of the film, Bond finally shows some restraint when he leaves Vesper's boyfriend alive to be interrogated. Camille drops this on Bond when he throws Mathis' body into a dumpster, having just cradled him during his dying moments. M also calls Bond out on indirectly killing Fields due to his actions, and orders him handcuffed and escorted away by MI6 agents. Not that it stops him from escaping, though.

Reconstruction: On the surface, Quantum of Solace is much more like a typical Bond film than Casino Royale (arguably a Deconstruction as much as an origin story). But this one folds all the elements introduced in Casino Royale into the formula: few gadgets, the Stale Beer elements, Bond's rough-and-tumble approach, the emphasis on characterisation in the script.

It's no secret why Camille is after him, having raped her mother and sister before killing them, and attempts to rape a hotel waitress in the climax. He even tries to do the same thing to Camille, but she puts a bullet in his head.

Mercy Kill: Bond prepares to shoot Camille, as they are trapped in the burning hotel with no escape, and she is reliving her childhood trauma of having the General burn her house down over her head. Fortunately, an escape presents itself before it's too late. Quantum's execution of Dominic Greene may have partially been this, along with You Have Failed Me.

comment
Viewer-Friendly Interface: Sort of. Said touchscreens do nothing that couldn't be accomplished with papers and a regular computer. In the tie-in game, they definitely qualify, running some strange combination of DOS and that weird GUI. So intelligent is this interface that when Bond describes Greene's surname as having a 'double-E', the computer inserts a W before he's finished saying the combined word, then replaces it with the two Es. Why such a feature is in place is completely unknown, especially when one factors in that Bond should have been using the phonetic alphabet anyway.

Attempted Rape

comment
Attempted Rape: General Medrano attempts to rape some hotel waitress, before Camille enters the room and proceeds to send him to Hell. Especially significant due to what happened to Camille's mother and older sister.

Beauty Is Never Tarnished

comment
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Zig-zagged. Camille does have a nasty burn scar from when she was a kid, but it is on her back and thus concealed by clothing for most of the movie. On the other hand, an ongoing theme of the film is psychological scars.

Pet the Dog: Bond spends most of the movie cold and emotionless. He is, however, notably angry when Fields is murdered, and then informs M that Fields showed true bravery and he wants that noted in the report.
