Can anyone expect the character James Bond be played by a non English man or by a non Anglo Saxon? Would an Asian, African or even an European man be given the chance to play James Bond?
Would the Brits go around the world to head hunt for the best man to star as James Bond? I think the Brits have enough pride and senses not to give this plum job to a foreign talent just because the foreign talent is presumably a better man. They have a country, a nation, they have national pride.
Their country may now be filled with chap cheng. But it is still their country and not the country of migrants. They may have a few migrants in politics, but they are very clear it is their country. The presence of large migrant population is paying back for their guilt and crimes against these migrants' countries.
What do you think, a black, brown or yellow James Bond? Don't be silly, it would not happen. The women to please James Bond can be of any colour, but James Bond must be Anglo Saxon at the very least, British preferable.
PS. Putin would make a good James Bond but he is Russian. Would Singapore be going around the world to head hunt for the best man to be PM or ministers?
We have so many to choose from our American idols like Bush Jr, Obama, Trump, Clinton etc etc. All great leaders that we admired so much. Also can consider Modi, another great leader that must have a lot of admirers here.
ReplyDeleteThey will immediately pack their backs if offered a PM job here and would mind becoming instant Singaporeans.
The American ex-Presidents and India's Modi also have their pride and dignity to uphiold.
ReplyDeleteUnlike some Singapore leaders, who are easily transfixed with foreign talents, and some foreign talents who would denounce their Motherland in order to become New Singapore Citizens, those American leaders and Indian Modi are not in the same mould.
Erh, too bad we also had a Bond, but he passed away. Remember Hamid Bond? LOL
ReplyDeleteYou mean Singapore cannot even find a seat warmer today? How pathetic, with all the big talk about tea sessions, strict selection processes, built in fool proof succession procedures. No wonder they say man proposes but God disposes.
ReplyDeleteOver the years, the choice of political talents went from hawkers and barbers to graduates, to foreign educated scholars, and yet the well laid plan is still leading to failure.
ReplyDeleteAs the Chinese saying goes - you keep choosing and rejecting and hoping for a better one to come along, in the end you will end up with shit!
Put a bunch of chickens in the board they would pick a chicken.
ReplyDeletePut a bunch of donkeys, they would pick a donkey.
Depends on who you put on the board.
At one time they put immortals on the board and they picked immortals.
