avrelia(which is The Seven Basic Plots by Christopher Booker)
They say that Ian Fleming called his mother "M". That makes the casting of Judy Dench as M in the last Bond movies even more ingenious (and how much do I want a separate M movie? than much!), and the dynamic between M and Bond ...well... interesting. Especially in the last movie.
in another moment the author notices goes that although in an archetypal happy ending we have hero and heroine united, in many American classical stories (in books and movies) we have two men standing side by side instead: Star Wars (ep. IV), The magnificent Seven, The Last of the Mohicans, etc. Which, to the author's opinion means that American culture has an endemic immaturity to it. But it can also mean that it's gay. ;)
(ok, I simplified the arguments a lot)
