GoldenEye (1995) is the seventeenth spy-fi film in the James Bond series, and the first to star Pierce Brosnan as the fictional MI6 officer James Bond. The film was directed by Martin Campbell and is the first film in the series not to take story elements from the works of novelist Ian Fleming. The story was conceived and written by Michael France, with later collaboration by other writers. In the film, Bond fights to prevent an ex-MI6 agent, gone rogue, from using a satellite against London in order to cause global financial meltdown.
GoldenEye was released in 1995 after a six-year hiatus in the series caused by legal disputes, during which Timothy Dalton resigned from the role of James Bond and was replaced by Pierce Brosnan. M was also recast, with actress Judi Dench becoming the first woman to portray the character, replacing Robert Brown. The role of Miss Moneypenny was also recast, with Caroline Bliss being replaced by Samantha Bond. GoldenEye was the first Bond film made after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, which provided a background for the plot.
See reflections on the water,
more than darkness in the depths.
See him surface in every shadow,
on the wind I feel his breath.
GoldenEye, I've found his weakness,
GoldenEye will do what I please.
GoldenEye, no time for sweetness,
but a bitter kiss will bring him to his knees.
You'll never know how I watched you from the shadows as a child.
You'll never know how it feels to be the one who's left behind.
You'll never know the days, the nights, the tears, the tears I cried,
but now my time has come, and time, time is not on your side!
See him move through smoke and mirrors,
Feel his presence in the crowd.
Other girls, they gather around him,
If I had him, I wouldn't let him out.
GoldenEye, white lace for leather,
Golden chain, take him to the spot.
GoldenEye, I'll show him forever,
it'll take forever to see what I've got.
You'll never know how I watched you from the shadows as a child.
You'll never know how it feels to get so close and be denied.
It's a gold and honey trap I've go for you tonight,
revenge, it's a kiss, this time I won't miss, now I've got you in my sight...
With a GoldenEye
