I am male and have a very good friendship with a younger female colleague. She will gently be a bit bossy with me, reminding me not to forget my coat when I go for lunch on cold days, and making sure I drink enough water.
I’ve grown to enjoy this dynamic. I’ve never had a co-worker care for me before. Anyway, one of my other colleagues is claiming that I am “losing face”, by letting myself be “bossed around”.
I’ve got the best results in my department, I hold my own with much more senior people and I don’t think it is this jackasses business. I just ignored him, but wanted to tell him to FO.
Robert Ebert gave it 3/4 and said it was “very effective at the level of a thriller”, but that it was also “fascist”.
Gene Siskel said it was 4/4 and sublime as a film but “dangerous”.
Pauline Kael (The New Yorker) regarded it as excellent but “a deeply immoral movie”.
Kevin Thomas (LA Times) said it was “a highstyle film with lowbrow appeal”, but unsettlingly likeable.
I like the fact that no critics were lambasting the acting or the directing. Its refreshing and what we lack today.
I’d say Auric Goldfinger and Elliot Carver personally. Goldfinger (and the novel expands further on this) is essentially a crypto-trader using gold to go around national boundaries and tax laws. For its time it is very ahead of the curve.
Elliot Carver meanwhile is a media mogul trying to destablise countries. He is also certainly an amalgamation of Murdoch and Robert Maxwell.
