Skyfall Funny Silva Scene HD

“What’s the most you ever lost in a coin toss, Mr. Bond?”

Silva is my favorite Bond girl.

“She never tied me to a chair.” “Her loss.” Brilliant!

Bonds like "I've made love to many women, in the mud and the rain, and it's possible a man may have slipped in there. I have literally no way of knowing."

I can't imagine the timing involved with telling that speech while walking down the hall. He gets to the end right at the climax of the story without breaking stride or changing his pace once. Unreal.

Lesson here: Don't show the villain early in the movie, wait until it makes sense to have a great introduction scene, give him a nice monologue and allow the actor to shine for a few minutes. Stablish the character and allow him to have charisma. Skyfall is remembered because of this scene.

“I have an itch down there... You mind?”

The Daniel Craig Bond movies may not be perfect, but the fact that they got Mads Mikkelsen, Javier Bardem, and Christoph Waltz to appear in the series is an achievement in and of itself.

This is how I interview people when they want a job. 

Fun fact: Raoul Silva is basically an evil Bond. His name is an anagram, "A Rival Soul".

Man it's so creepy how creepy Silva can seem just by walking towards the camera. He gets bigger and bigger in the frame, all the while telling his story until you suddenly realise how close he his. Super disconcerting, and really engaging.

“Well, first time for everything yes?” Le Chifrre flashbacks “What makes you think this is my first time?”

"Everybody needs a hobby." "...So what's yours?" "Resurrection." Best line(s) in the film.

I'm guessing this is called "Skyfall Funny Silva Scene" because most people focus on the homoerotic moment, but it undervalues the brilliant work here. This masterful scene shows Silva trying several different approaches to get Bond to crack. Silva's first approach is his story about survival, and how he and James are the rats on the island. Then he describes M as their mother, who has betrayed them both, so he is equating himself as James' brother. Didn't work, so then he went for the homoerotic approach to shake James up. James deflected that by suggesting that he's open to or prepared for it. Silva then frees James' hands and tries to appeal to his need for freedom, offering to make him a partner who can pick his own secret missions. James belittles that by equating it to a hobby, because there'd be no loyalty to country. This entire scene is a wonderful little chess game. The way it's shot is also impressive, with Silva entering on the elevator and walking toward James in one long take while delivering the rats monologue.

5:30 "England. The Empire. MI 6. You're living in a ruin as well. You just don't know it yet." Well, he's right about that one lol

The subtle pause he gives after mentioning childhood trauma, Silva unexpectedly finds common ground with Bond. The look and pause Silva gives indicates his own internal reflection of his own childhood trauma(s).

When I saw this scene in the theater, you could just FEEL how Bardem's presence just enraptured the entire audience.  We hung onto every one of his subtle bits of humor and his amazing psychotic episodes.  This man is such a pleasure to watch.

I love how Silva tries to make Bond uncomfortable by touching him and making erotic suggestions. While the audience feels the discomfort, Bond is the epitome of cool. You cannot throw this guy off. "What makes you think this is my first time?" Bond is so comfortable in his sexuality, that threatening it doesn't faze him. Notice how, as soon as Silva sees Bond isn't deterred, he switches tactics. Which is why this scene is such a great power play.

I love how soft his speech is. First line- hellllooooo James. No need to be deep. The softness makes it so much more sinister.

by far the best villain from any Bond film because as a watcher, you really felt sympathy for Silva and kinda understood where he was coming from. Plus Javier Bardem was incredible in the role
