The "James Bond" & "007" Franchise: The Real Idea Behind It by Tomaxzyn1(m): 1:35pm On Jul 24, 2016 |
007 is synonymous with the fictional British spy, James Bond. To start with, Ian Fleming, the original writer of the James Bond series, was a reporter-turned-writer who worked for the British naval intelligence during World War II. He actually named his fictional spy after a bird scientist with the same name. Ian Fleming did not know the real James Bond(Bird scientist) in person but had come across his name on one of his published books on birds. Fleming settled for the name because he felt it fit the dull personality he wanted for his character. Nevertheless, the fictional James Bond(the one in the movies and books) ended up being more popular than the real one(the bird scientist), who even got into problems at an airport because officials thought he’d forged his name(when in actual fact, he was the real owner of the name). However, James Bond’s code, 007, is based on 0070, which was the code Germany assigned to the series of messages that led to the infamous Zimmermann telegram incident. The Zimmermann telegram was a series of messages sent between Germany and the German embassy in Mexico. The messages urged Mexico to go to war with the United States and revealed Germany’s plans to use submarines to sink US ships.

Go to YouTube, search for "everything wrong with Spectre" watch and enjoy. Proceed to watch that of other movies as well and relax that our world is coyishly deceptive. Deception sells. |
