Memorable Characters

"Bond, James Bond"

Possibly the most famous and recognisable character in British film history spanning over 5 decades with numerous incredible British actors stepping into those famous shoes. Created in 1953 by Ian Fleming, he is well known for his suave charm and handsomeness. His way with the ladies, and his love of anything thrilling and full of action is also instantly recognisable. His key iconography codes are: his slick black tuxedo suit, his impressive weaponary, and of course that maritini (shaken, not stirred). This continiuty of the basic inconography have helped generations adapt to 6 differnt actors playing Bond, as well as updating him slightly each time to let younger audiences relate with Bond films too. Bond is a classic British icon, and by far one of the best characters of all time.
