Bond: Thinking Of Vesper.

This is so funny. I've been reviewing various YouTube highlights of the Bond films. And suddenly I came upon Casino Royale and Vesper, and it all came flooding back -- the rarity of cinematic infatuation and its instant and profound effect.

Eva Green did all of that in a matter of minutes. I loved the way she played Vesper: a blend of unspoken vulnerability, sentimentality, emotions and deep profound feelings. And a battle-hardened toughness hiding behind a mask. No wonder, she stole Bond's heart in relatively short order. 

All of that is an expression of Green's acting abilities. Too bad she got killed off. Vesper would have made a perfect Bond...
