Diamonds Are Forever 4K 1971 Ultra HD 2160p

This time, James Bond is tasked with investigating the theft of a huge shipment of South African diamonds. As he unravels this complex case, Bond tracks down his arch-enemy Blofeld.

It turns out that he needs the diamonds to increase the power of his giant space laser, which he plans to use to destroy all nuclear warheads, missiles, and submarines.

User Review

Bond struck Blofeld on the head, tied him to a stretcher, and pushed the stretcher into boiling cosmetic mud. “Go to hell, Blofeld!” he said, unaware that it was only his double...

The work of the screenwriter

As Richard Maibaum's assistant, the filmmakers brought young American screenwriter Tom Mankiewicz (the events of the film take place in America) into the project, and Maibaum spent several days explaining to him how the English speak and behave. Despite the incredible accumulation of absurdities, the film is easy to watch and original. To this day, the jokes made by the characters are striking. For example, Tiffany Case: 'I was named that because my mother was looking for a wedding ring. Bond: “Thank God it wasn't a Van Cleef & Arpels ring.”

But the main thing is how the screenwriters dealt with the diamonds. No other film has used them in such an original way.

The actor's performance

Sean Connery's performance in this film is superb! Here, he has become older, more dignified, and much calmer. Finally, he has acquired a scholarly charm, easily dispatching his enemies and always maintaining a cheerful smile, or even a witty remark, even when faced with the most difficult and deadly situations.

The red-haired beauty Jill St. John also gave a wonderful performance as the smuggler Tiffany Case. Charles Gray, playing three characters (one of them the real Blofeld), did as well as he possibly could. It's not about his acting, but his unique voice and intonation with which he utters key phrases, jokes, or gives orders to his henchmen.

What music!

Since 90% of the film takes place in Las Vegas and its surroundings, composer John Barry included a lot of orchestral, pleasant music in the style of pretentious casinos and expensive hotels. The title song, “Diamonds Are Forever,” was performed by the famous singer Shirley Bassey. Shirley's voice and Barry's music create such a chemical reaction that it feels like a real celebration.

A fly in the ointment

The main drawback of the film is the editing. Several annoying blunders are jarring, the fights are much worse than in the previous “On Her Majesty's Secret Service,” and the sets are not very impressive this time around.

P.S. This is the end of the Spectre trilogy. Blofeld is finished. Connery left the project for good, but you will see James Bond in the film Live and Let Die, where another story begins with another wonderful actor, Roger Moore.
