The main character (James Bond) uncovers new information about an evil organisation called Spectre. James Bond has to bring down the organisation whilst also trying to save the ones he cares about. In order to do this, Bond must get information from an old nemesis and learns that he has more connections with Spectre than he thought.

Key Scenes: The most important scene within the film is when Bond has the upper hand on the villain. James Bond is standing above the villain (who is laying on the floor) with a gun to his head. Bond has to decide whether to kill him or not. James decides to walk away from the villain to the girl he loves. This is an important as 007 is has a licence to kill, but he decides to walk away. This contradicts what we know about James Bond as he should be able to finish the villains but in this case he changes that. This shows to the audience that he is done being an assassin.

One micro-feature that is important throughout the film is sound. During every fight scene the sound of the punches and the kick are always exaggerated. This is used to engage the audience as the fight scenes seem more brutal which is more entertaining. By making the sounds of the punches louder also adds emphasis to the skills of James Bond, making the film more exciting.
Mise-en-scene is also important (Especially costumes) as it used to portray Bond's personality. Throughout the majority of the film, Bond is wearing a suit. This is supposed to show the audience that Bond is smooth and sophisticated. This is important as it is used to make the character more desirable. Men want to be him and women want to be with him. This makes the film more engaging for the audience as he is shown to be perfect man (through his outfits)as he is always shown to be looking good.

Overall, I really enjoyed the film as it grabbed my attention from beginning to end and there was always something going on. There was never a dull moment. Although it was an amazing film, at parts i became a bit confused due to there being so much going on.
