Casino Royale
Nov. 27th, 2006 11:20 pmErin and I went to see this last Monday. When the credits rolled she said, "That was a good movie!" and I said, "Yes!" followed by "Hmm," and then I took a week to incubate an essay. XD;
( Useless armchair analysis of semiotics within the James Bond franchise. Some spoilers by implication for the latest film, but mostly about people's hair colours and the like. )
...I'm sort of lacking in sleep and will have to read this over at some point to see if it makes sense. XD; I guess the corollary here is, blond vs. dark isn't just a question of visuals in BL either, it has semiotic significance in that hair colour is part of the construct of expectations for a manga personality (even if the dark hair of a seme from a wealthy samurai family signifies differently from the dark hair of a spunky street kid uke), but I have to figure everyone knows this already and a bromide is just that.
