“For Your Eyes Only (film)”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

For Your Eyes Only is a 1981 British spy film, the twelfth in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions, and the fifth to star Roger Moore as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. It marked the directorial debut of John Glen, who had worked as editor and second unit director on three other Bond films.

The screenplay by Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson takes its characters and combines elements from the plots from two short stories from Ian Fleming's For Your Eyes Only collection: the title story and "Risico". In the plot, Bond attempts to locate a missile command system while becoming tangled in a web of deception spun by rival Greek businessmen along with Melina Havelock, a woman seeking to avenge the murder of her parents. Some writing elements were inspired by the novels Live and Let Die, Goldfinger and On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

After the science fiction-focused Moonraker, the producers wanted a return to the style of the early Bond films and the works of 007 creator Fleming. For Your Eyes Only followed a grittier, more realistic approach and a narrative theme of revenge and its consequences. Filming locations included Greece, Italy and England, while underwater footage was shot in The Bahamas.

For Your Eyes Only was released on 24 June 1981 to a mixed critical reception; the film was a financial success, generating $195.3 million worldwide. This was the final Bond film to be distributed solely by United Artists; the studio merged with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer soon after this film's release.

Plot

In the prologue, Bond is seen visiting the grave of his late wife Tracy Bond; Bond is trapped in a remote controlled helicopter by Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Bond manages to take control of the helicopter; scoops up Blofeld (minus his cat) and drops him down a factory chimney to his death.

In the main story, the British information gathering vessel St Georges, which holds the Automatic Targeting Attack Communicator (ATAC), the system used by the Ministry of Defence to communicate with and coordinate the Royal Navy's fleet of Polaris submarines, is sunk after accidentally trawling an old naval mine in the Ionian Sea. MI6 agent James Bond is assigned by the Minister of Defence, Sir Frederick Gray and MI6 Chief of Staff, Bill Tanner, to retrieve the ATAC before the Soviets, as the transmitter could order attacks by the submarines' Polaris ballistic missiles.

The head of the KGB, General Gogol, has also learned of the fate of the St Georges and already notified his contact in Greece. A marine archaeologist, Sir Timothy Havelock, who had been asked by the British to secretly locate the St Georges, prepares to send his report in, but before the task is completed, Havelock is killed with his wife Iona by a Cuban hitman, Hector Gonzales. Bond goes to Spain to find out who hired Gonzales.

While spying on Gonzales at his villa, Bond is captured, but manages to escape as Gonzales is killed by a crossbow bolt while diving into his swimming pool. Within the grounds, he finds the assassin was Melina Havelock, the daughter of Sir Timothy, and the pair escape. With the help of Bond, Q uses computerized technology to identify the man Bond saw paying off Gonzales as Emile Leopold Locque, a former enforcer in the Brussels underworld. Bond thus goes to Locque's possible base in Cortina, Italy. There, Bond meets his contact, Luigi Ferrara, and Aris Kristatos, a well-connected Greek businessman, shipping tycoon, and intelligence informant. Kristatos informs Bond that Locque is employed by Milos Columbo, known as "the Dove" in the Greek underworld and Kristatos' former resistance partner during the Second World War. After Bond goes with Kristatos' protégée, figure skater Bibi Dahl, to a biathlon course, a group of men, which includes East German biathlete Eric Kriegler, chases Bond, trying to kill him. Bond escapes and then goes with Ferrara to bid Bibi farewell at an ice rink, where he fends off another attempt on his life by hoods in ice hockey gear. During the fight, Ferrara is killed in Bond's car, with a dove pin in his hand. Bond thus travels to Corfu in pursuit of Columbo.

At a casino, Bond meets Kristatos and asks how to meet Columbo, not knowing that Columbo's men are secretly recording their conversation. After Columbo and his mistress, Countess Lisl von Schlaf, argue, Bond offers to escort her home with Kristatos' car and driver. The two then spend the night together. In the morning Lisl and Bond are ambushed by Locque and Lisl is killed. Bond is captured by Columbo's men before Locque can kill him; Columbo then tells Bond that Locque was actually hired by Kristatos, who is working for the KGB to retrieve the ATAC. Bond accompanies Columbo and his crew on a raid on one of Kristatos' opium-processing warehouse in Albania, where Bond uncovers naval mines similar to the one that sank the St Georges, suggesting that it was not an accident. When the base is destroyed, Bond chases Locque and pushes his car off a cliff, killing Locque in the process.

Afterwards, Bond meets Melina again, and they recover the ATAC from the wreckage of the St Georges, but Kristatos is waiting for them when they surface and he takes the ATAC. After getting dragged over a coral reef in shark-infested waters and surviving the ordeal, they discover Kristatos' rendezvous point when Melina's parrot repeats the phrase "ATAC to St Cyril's". With the help of Columbo and his men, Bond and Melina rock climb in order to break into St Cyril's, an abandoned mountaintop monastery. As Columbo is confronting Kristatos, Bond fights Kriegler and uses a spiked candelabra to force Kriegler headlong through a window, resulting in a deadly plummet off the mountain.

Bond retrieves the ATAC system and prevents Melina from killing Kristatos after he surrenders. Kristatos tries to kill Bond with a hidden flick knife, but is killed by a knife thrown by Columbo. Gogol arrives by helicopter to collect the ATAC, but Bond throws it off the cliff. Bond and Melina later spend a romantic evening aboard her father's yacht when he receives a call from the Prime Minister, leaving the parrot to do the talking.

Cast

Production

For Your Eyes Only marked a change in the make up of the production crew: John Glen was promoted from his duties as a film editor to director, a position he would occupy for four subsequent films.^[6] The transition in directors resulted in a harder-edged directorial style, with less emphasis on gadgetry and large action sequences in huge arenas (as was favored by Lewis Gilbert).{{sfn|Cork|Stutz|2007|p=299}} Emphasis was placed on tension, plot and character in addition to a return to Bond's more serious roots,{{sfn|Benson|1988|p=226}} whilst For Your Eyes Only "showed a clear attempt to activate some lapsed and inactive parts of the Bond mythology."{{sfn|Lindner|2003|pp=29}}

The film was also a deliberate effort to bring the series more back to reality, following the success of Moonraker in 1979.{{sfn|Cork|Stutz|2007|p=292}} As co-writer Michael G. Wilson pointed out, "If we went through the path of Moonraker things would just get more outlandish, so we needed to get back to basics".^[6] To that end, the story that emerged was simpler, not one in which the world was at risk, but returning the series to that of a Cold War thriller;^[6] Bond would also rely more on his wits than gadgets to survive.^[6] Glen decided to symbolically represent it with a scene where Bond's Lotus blows itself up and forces 007 to rely on Melina's more humble Citroën 2CV.^[6] Since Ken Adam was busy with Pennies from Heaven, Peter Lamont, who had worked in the art department since Goldfinger, was promoted to production designer. Following a suggestion of Glen, Lamont created realistic scenery, instead of the elaborate set pieces for which the series had been known.^[6]

Writing

Richard Maibaum was once again the scriptwriter for the story, assisted by Michael G. Wilson.{{sfn|Benson|1988|p=227}} According to Wilson, the ideas from stories could have come from anyone as the outlines were worked out in committee that could include Broccoli, Maibaum, Wilson and stunt coordinators.{{sfn|Barnes|Hearn|2001|p=135}} Much of the inspiration for the stories for the film came from two Ian Fleming short stories from the collection For Your Eyes Only: Risico and For Your Eyes Only.{{sfn|Smith|2002|p=175}} Another set-piece from the novel of Live and Let Die – the keelhauling – which was unused in the film of the same name, was also inserted into the plot.{{sfn|Barnes|Hearn|2001|p=135}} Other ideas from Fleming were also used in For Your Eyes Only, such as the Identigraph which comes from the novel Goldfinger, where it was originally called the "Identicast".{{sfn|Benson|1988|p=231}} These elements from Fleming's stories were mixed with a Cold War story centred on the MacGuffin of the ATAC.{{sfn|Benson|1988|p=227}} An initial treatment for "For Your Eyes Only" was submitted by Ronald Hardy, an English novelist and screenwriter in 1979. Hardy's treatment included the involvement of a character named Julia Havelock whose parents were assassinated by a man named Gonzales.^[7]

For Your Eyes Only is noted for its pre-title sequence, described variously as either "out-of place and disappointing"{{sfn|Benson|1988|p=227}} or "roaringly enjoyable".{{sfn|Smith|2002|p=167}} The scene was shot to introduce a potential new Bond to audiences, thus linking the new actor to elements from previous Bond films{{sfn|Barnes|Hearn|2001|p=135}} (see casting, below).

The sequence begins with Bond laying flowers at the grave of his wife Tracy Bond, before a Universal Exports helicopter picks him up for an emergency. Control of the helicopter is taken over by remote control by a bald man in a grey Nehru jacket with a white cat. This character is unnamed in either the film or the credits, although he looks and sounds like Ernst Stavro Blofeld as played by Donald Pleasence or Telly Savalas.{{sfn|Benson|1988|p=227}} Director John Glen referred to the identity of the villain obliquely: "We just let people use their imaginations and draw their own conclusions ... It's a legal thing".{{sfn|Barnes|Hearn|2001|p=137}} The character is deliberately not named due to copyright restrictions with Kevin McClory, who owned the film rights to Thunderball, which supposedly includes the character Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the organisation SPECTRE, and other material associated with the development of Thunderball.^[8] Eon disputed McClory's ownership of the Blofeld character, but decided not to use him again: the scene was "a deliberate statement by Broccoli of his lack of need to use the character."{{sfn|Smith|2002|p=178}}

Maibum later said "We tried to return to the earlier films with For Your Eyes Only but we didn't have Sean to make it real. And I was very disappointed with the way the love story was handled. The whole idea was that the great lover James Bond can't get to first base with this woman because she was so obsessed with avenging her parents' death. Nothing was ever done with it. It was as if the director didn't feel there was a love story there at all."^[9]

Casting

Roger Moore had originally signed a three-film contract with Eon Productions, which covered his first three appearances up to The Spy Who Loved Me. Subsequent to this, the actor negotiated contracts on a film-by-film basis.{{sfn|Barnes|Hearn|2001|p=135}} Uncertainty surrounding his involvement in For Your Eyes Only, considering his age, led to other actors being considered to take over, including Lewis Collins, known in the UK for his portrayal of Bodie in The Professionals;^[10] Ian Ogilvy, like Moore very known by his role in Return of the Saint;^[11] Michael Billington, who previously appeared in The Spy Who Loved Me as Agent XXX's ill-fated lover, (Billington's screen test for For Your Eyes Only was one of the five occasions he auditioned for the role of Bond)^[12] and Michael Jayston, who had appeared as the eponymous spy in the British TV series of Quiller{{sfn|Barnes|Hearn|2001|p=135}} (Jayston eventually played Bond in a BBC Radio production of You Only Live Twice in 1985).{{sfn|Barnes|Hearn|2001|p=135}} Timothy Dalton was strongly considered but Dalton declined, as he disliked the direction the series was taking at the time.^[11]^[13]^[14]^[15] Eventually, this came to nothing as Moore agreed to play Bond once again.

Bernard Lee died on 16 January 1981, after filming began on For Your Eyes Only, but before he could film his scenes as M, the head of MI6, as he had done in the previous eleven films of the series. Out of respect, no new actor was hired to assume the role as Broccoli refused to have the character recast and, instead, the script was re-written so that the character is said to be on leave, letting Chief of Staff Bill Tanner take over the role as acting head of MI6 and briefing Bond alongside the Minister of Defence.{{sfn|Pfeiffer|Worrall|1998|p=98}}

Filming

Production of For Your Eyes Only began on 2 September 1980 in the North Sea, with three days shooting exterior scenes with the St Georges.^[16]^[25] The interiors were shot later in Pinewood Studios, as well as the ship's explosion, which was done with a miniature in Pinewood's tank on the 007 Stage.^[17] On 15 September principal photography started on Corfu at the Villa Sylva at Kanoni, above Corfu Town,{{sfn|Cork|Stutz|2007|p=292}} which acted as the location of the Spanish villa. Many of the local houses were painted white for scenographic reasons.^[18] Glen opted to use the local slopes and olive trees for the chase scene between Melina's Citroën 2CV and Gonzales' men driving Peugeot 504s.^[23] The scene was shot across twelve days, with stunt driver Rémy Julienne – who would remain in the series up until GoldenEye – driving the Citroën.^[19] Four 2CVs were used, with modifications for the stunts – all had more powerful flat-four engines, and one received a special revolving plate on its roof so it could get turned upside down.^[20]^[21]^[22]

In October filming moved to other Greek locations, including Meteora and the Achilleion.^[23] In November, the main unit moved to England, which included interior work in Pinewood, while the second unit shot underwater scenes in The Bahamas. On 1 January 1981, production moved to Cortina d'Ampezzo in Italy, where filming wrapped in February.^[16] Since it was not snowing in Cortina d'Ampezzo by the time of filming, the producers had to pay for trucks to bring snow from nearby mountains, which was then dumped in the city's streets.^[24]

Many of the underwater scenes, especially involving close-ups of Bond and Melina, were faked on a dry soundstage. A combination of lighting effects, slow-motion photography, wind, and bubbles added in post-production, gave the illusion of the actors being underwater.{{sfn|Cork|Stutz|2007|p=292}} Actress Carole Bouquet reportedly had a pre-existing health condition that prevented her from performing underwater stunt work.^[16] Aquatic scenes were done by a team led by Al Giddings, who had previously worked on The Deep, and filmed in either Pinewood's tank on the 007 Stage or an underwater set built in the Bahamas. Production designer Peter Lamont and his team developed two working props for the submarine Neptune, as well as a mock-up with a fake bottom.^[25]

Roger Moore was reluctant to film the scene of Bond kicking a car, with Locque inside, over the edge of a cliff, saying that it "was Bond-like, but not Roger Moore Bond-like."^[16] Michael G. Wilson later said that Moore had to be persuaded to be more ruthless than he felt comfortable.{{sfn|Barnes|Hearn|2001|p=137}} Wilson also added that he and Richard Maibaum, along with John Glen, toyed with other ideas surrounding that scene, but ultimately everyone, even Moore, agreed to do the scene as originally written.^[16]

For the Meteora shoots, a Greek bishop was paid to allow filming in the monasteries, but the uninformed Eastern Orthodox monks were mostly critical of production rolling in their installations. After a trial in the Greek Supreme Court, it was decided that the monks' only property were the interiors – the exteriors and surrounding landscapes were from the local government. In protest, the monks remained shut inside the monasteries during the shooting,^[16]^[18] and tried to sabotage production as much as possible, hanging their washing out of their windows{{sfn|Barnes|Hearn|2001|p=138}} and covering the principal monastery with plastic bunting and flags to spoil the shots, and placing oil drums to prevent the film crew from landing helicopters. The production team solved the problem with back lighting, matte paintings, and building both a similar scenographic monastery on a nearby unoccupied rock, and a monastery set in Pinewood.^[26]

Roger Moore said he had a great fear of heights, and to do the climbing in Greece, he resorted to moderate drinking to calm his nerves.^[16] Later in that same sequence, Rick Sylvester, a stuntman who had previously performed the pre-credits ski jump in The Spy Who Loved Me, undertook the stunt of Bond falling off the side of the cliff.^[27] The stunt was dangerous, since the sudden rope jerk at the bottom could be fatal. Special effects supervisor Derek Meddings developed a system that would dampen the stop, but Sylvester recalled that his nerves nearly got the better of him: "From where we were [shooting], you could see the local cemetery; and the box [to stop my fall] looked like a casket. You didn't need to be an English major to connect the dots." The stunt went off without a problem.^[16]

Bond veteran cameraman and professional skier Willy Bogner, Jr. was promoted to director of a second unit involving ski footage.^[24] Bogner designed the ski chase on the bobsleigh track of Cortina d'Ampezzo hoping to surpass his work in both On Her Majesty's Secret Service and The Spy Who Loved Me.^[16] To allow better filming, Bogner developed both a system where he was attached to a bobsleigh, allowing to film the vehicle or behind it,^[27] and a set of skis that allowed him to ski forwards and backwards to get the best shots.{{sfn|Cork|Stutz|2007|p=292}} In February 1981, on the final day of filming the bobsleigh chase, one of the stuntmen driving a sleigh, 23-year-old Paolo Rigon, was killed when he became trapped under the bob.{{sfn|Barnes|Hearn|2001|p=138}}

The pre-credits sequence used a church in Stoke Poges as a cemetery, while the helicopter scenes were filmed at the abandoned Beckton Gas Works in London.^[23] The gas works were also the location for some of Stanley Kubrick's 1987 film, Full Metal Jacket.{{sfn|Falsetto|2001|p=xxii}} Director John Glen got the idea for the remote-controlled helicopter after seeing a child playing with an RC car.^[16] Since flying a helicopter through a warehouse was thought to be too dangerous, the scene was shot using forced perspective. A smaller mock-up was built by Derek Meddings' team closer to the camera that the stunt pilot Marc Wolff flew behind and this made it seem as if the helicopter was entering the warehouse. The footage inside the building was shot on location, though with a life-sized helicopter model which stood over a rail. Stuntman Martin Grace stood as Bond when the agent is dangling outside the flying helicopter, while Roger Moore himself was used in the scenes inside the model.^[28]^[29]

Music

The score of For Your Eyes Only was written by Bill Conti, who retained a number of John Barry-influenced brass elements in the score, but also added elements of dance and funk music.^[30] Whilst one reviewer observed that "Bill Conti's score is a constant source of annoyance",^[54] another claimed that "In the end, For Your Eyes Only stands as one of the best James Bond film scores of the 1980s."^[30]

Release and reception

The film grossed $54.8 million in the United States,^[62] (equivalent to $101.5 million at 2011 ticket prices^[35] or ${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|54.8|1981}}}} million in {{Inflation-year|US}} dollars,{{inflation-fn|US}} adjusted for general inflation) and $195.3 million worldwide,{{sfn|Barnes|Hearn|2001|p=143}} becoming the second highest grossing Bond film after its predecessor, Moonraker.^[36] This was the last James Bond film to be solely released by United Artists, as by this time its owner Transamerica Corporation finalized the sale of the brand to MGM. Following the MGM and United Artists merger, later runs including future entries were released under "MGM/UA Distribution Co".

The promotional cinema poster for the film featured a woman holding a crossbow; she was photographed from behind, and her outfit left the bottom half of her buttocks exposed. The effect was achieved by having the model wear a pair of bikini bottoms backwards, so that the part seen on her backside is the front of the suit.{{sfn|Pfeiffer|Worrall|1998|p=131}} The poster caused some furor—largely in the US—with The Boston Globe and the Los Angeles Times considering the poster so unsuitable they edited out everything above the knee,^[37] whilst the Pittsburgh Press editors painted a pair of shorts over the legs.{{sfn|Barnes|Hearn|2001|p=140}} There was significant speculation as to the identity of the model before photographer Morgan Kane identified her as Joyce Bartle.^[37]

A number of items of merchandising were issued to coincide with the film, including a 007 digital watch and a copy of Melina's Citroën 2CV by Corgi Toys.{{sfn|Pfeiffer|Worrall|1998|p=131}} Citroën itself produced a special "007" edition of the 2CV, which even had decorative bullet holes on the door.^[38] Marvel Comics also did a comic book adaptation (see section below).{{sfn|Pfeiffer|Worrall|1998|p=131}}

Contemporary reviews

For the US press, Gary Arnold in The Washington Post thought the film was "undeniably easy on the eyes", and further added "maybe too easy to prevent the mind from wandering and the lids from drooping."^[45] Arnold was also critical of the large set pieces, calling them "more ponderous than sensational" and that there was "no equivalent of the classic action highlights that can be recalled readily from "From Russia, With Love" or "You Only Live Twice" or "The Spy Who Loved Me" or "Moonraker." This is a Bond waiting for something inspired to push it over the top."^[45] The New York Times critic Vincent Canby said that "For Your Eyes Only is not the best of the series by a long shot" although he did say that the film is "slick entertainment" with a tone that is "consistently comic even when the material is not."^[46]

French filmmaker Robert Bresson admired the film. "It filled me with wonder because of its cinematographic writing ... if I could have seen it twice in a row and again the next day, I would have done."^[51]^[52] Elsewhere Bresson said he also loved the film's ski chase.{{sfn|Ciment|2009|p=36}}

Reflective reviews

Opinion on For Your Eyes Only has not changed with the passing of time and the reviews are still mixed: {{as of|2015|October|lc=y}}, the film holds a 74% 'fresh' rating from Rotten Tomatoes,^[53] being ranked twelfth among the 22 Bond films.^[54] Ian Nathan of Empire gives the film only two of a possible five stars, observing that the film "still ranks as one of the most forgettable Bonds on record."^[55] In 2006, IGN chose For Your Eyes Only as the sixth best Bond film, claiming it is "a good old-fashioned espionage tale",^[56] a placement shared by Norman Wilner of MSN, who considered it "the one Moore film that seems to reach back to Connery's heyday",^[57] and Entertainment Weekly chose it as the tenth best in 2008, saying it was a "return to low-tech, low-key Bond [with] ... some of the best stunts since the early days".^[58] In October 2008 Time Out re-issued a review of For Your Eyes Only and observed that the film is "admirable in intent" but that it "feels a little spare", largely because the plot has been "divested of the bells and whistles that hallmark the franchise".^[59]

Although Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly ranks Carole Bouquet playing Melina as the "worst babe" of the seven Roger Moore James Bond films,^[62] his colleague, Joshua Rich disagreed, putting her tenth in the overall 10 Best Bond Girls listing from the 21 films released up to that point.^[63] Entertainment Weekly also ranked Lynn-Holly Johnson as Bibi Dahl as ninth on their list of the 10 worst Bond girls from the 21 films that had been released.^[64] After 20 films had been released, IGN ranked Bouquet as fifth in their 'top 10 Bond Babes' list,^[65] and The Times thought she was sixth on their list of the Top 10 most fashionable Bond girls after 21 films had been released.^[66]

Accolades

The song "For Your Eyes Only" was nominated for a Best Original Song at the 39th Golden Globe Awards^[67] and Best Original Song at the 1981 Academy Awards, losing out at both ceremonies to "Arthur's Theme" from the film Arthur.^[68] However, the 1981 Academy Awards ceremony did see the presenting of the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award to producer Albert R. Broccoli.^[69] The Writers Guild of America nominated the script by Michael G. Wilson and Richard Maibaum for Best Adapted Screenplay – Comedy or Musical Picture.^[70] In 2004 the American Film Institute nominated the song "For Your Eyes Only" from the film for AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs.^[71]

Comic book adaptation

As part of the merchandising of For Your Eyes Only, Marvel Comics published an adaptation of the movie as issue 19 of Marvel Comics Super Special; this was also repackaged as a two-issue comic book adaptation of the film.{{sfn|Pfeiffer|Worrall|1998|p=131}}{{sfn| Thompson | Frankenhoff | Bickford |2010|p=368}} The first issue was released in October 1981 and was soon followed by the second issue in November of the same year. The adaptation was written by Larry Hama, pencilled by Howard Chaykin, inked by Vincent Colletta, and edited by Dennis O'Neil.{{sfn| Chaykin |2011|p=xvii}}

It was the second film in the series to have a comic book tie-in, following a Dr. No comic in 1962. Marvel Comics would go on to publish an Octopussy comic book adaptation in 1983.
