The Name’s Bond… James Bond

Sir Sean Connery, the creator of the Bond persona on celluloid, turned his mesmeric presence into a transcendent art.

Artistic, or histrionic, settings are limitless connotations — not just random constructs. They are, in more ways than one, burrowed truths moored in wide and deep realities, where each truth is a part of the whole. In simple words, acting is a myriad oeuvre that celebrates a distinct context. This suggests that the construal of such a talent is not only elicitation, but also the shining light of a heightened, essential link, as also sublime, conscious interpretation. Its understanding, therefore, would inherently denote a synthesis of the numerous contexts determining the art.

In other words, it is a process of self-understanding. To comprehend such a temple of art and science, one must enter its inner precincts, stretch its boundaries and, thus, grow in the process. Reason: the fusion of such horizons is the broadening, or expansion, of the actor’s celluloid self itself.

A Legend Like No Other

When one connects such a vibrant mosaic with Sir Thomas Sean Connery (August 25, 1930-October 31, 2020), one is consciously reminded of what superior art has in common — the capacity to, quite simply, take your breath away. It is something that makes you inwardly gasp when the ‘art’ first hits you, or enters your being. More so, because Connery first dazzled the arc lights in a different time capsule — it wasn’t like today’s electronic or TV glitz. Result: you are lured, and yet stumped, to connecting picture frames of the old with the modern. But, what’s remarkable is — you are now open to perceptions that you had not seen before.
