Moonraker


I AM A BROKEN MOON
A MAIMED SUN
A LOST IDENTITY

I AM A PEAK
WITHOUT A MOUNTAIN
I AM AN OCEAN
WITH DRIED-UP WATERS
I AM A GOD
WITHOUT A TEMPLE

I AM I AM
A MISPLACED TIME
DISLOCATED SPACE
A FRAGMENTED LIFE

Moonraker was the eleventh James Bond film, made in 1979, with Roger Moore as 007. In my personal opinion, James Bond films succeeded not because of the quality of writing by Ian Fleming, which was, to say the least, less than mediocre. They succeeded, and continue to generally succeed, because of Albert Broccoli, who masterminded the production, style, brand, and severe adherence to the principles on which the first few films, starting with Dr. No, were founded.

The Bond series continues to entertain without malice or hurt, or making any serious point; a policy which it continues to hold, and which, in my opinion, is its biggest selling point. The Bond movies are also notable for great trademark music by John Barry.
