This is a interesting Documentary that delves into Ian Fleming and how the creation of James Bond came into being. While also showing the struggles and stardom of the actors that played Bond. Which also includes the producers and the legal battle when it came to who owns the rights to "007". I think just about everyone can at least empathize with Ian Fleming who was known to have a charming and alarming characteristics. Like how it is mentioned in the documentary, Bond is basically the alter ego of Ian Fleming. How women and fancy drinks wasn't enough, how he disliked his job and wanted more out of life. So in another words Bond is someone he wanted to be but couldn't because of his circumstances. A character that is able to win over just about any women, stand tall and overcome just about any obstacles not matter how much the odds are against him. It's a fantasy that just about every men dream about. Sometimes movies can be a coping mechanism for dark times in peoples life. For Ian Fleming it was his passion for writing stories about his fantasies. It was interesting to to know more about the inner turmoil within the company and legal issues when it came to the rights of the "007" franchise. Especially about each star that played Bonds story and how it all came to be. Overall this is a documentary that all Bond just might enjoy and could lead to more appreciation of the "007" films.
