Thoughts on Moonraker (spoilers)

What a wild ride, from beginning to end. This was the second Bond novel I read, after From Russia With Love, and (so far) it's my favorite.
I think Fleming does a particularly good job building up tension/suspense. The progression from "this guy cheats at cards" to "he's planning on blowing up London" is believable, and I felt myself getting sucked into the mystery surrounding Drax just as Bond did. The mustache thing was fascinating, too, and I was glad that it paid off as well as it did.
I also really enjoyed Gala Brand. I've also been watching some of the Bond films, and she was a refreshing change of pace from the usual piece of ass Bond toys with. Not only did she actually have some agency, but the end where Bond is thinking maybe they'll have a vacation romp together and she tells him she's engaged was very satisfying. I also think it was an excellent character moment for Bond, where he's forced to confront the fact that he doesn't have anyone like that in his life, and that other people in a similar line of work have chosen to do things differently. (Note: I haven't read Casino Royale, so I don't know how the whole Vesper plot line plays out in the books; I've only seen the movie. But I still think this scene works because it contrasts Bond with Brand, the way Fleming plays with the reader's emotions is subtle and effective.)
Also, I made the mistake of reading the Dinner at Blades at 4 pm while I was hungry, and I think Fleming could have written a food blog had he been so inclined.

Week 40: Experts in authoritarianism advise to keep a list of things subtly changing around you, so you’ll remember.

This week’s list is not the longest, but it is certainly the most heartbreaking. Trump’s comments on Charlottesville legitimized the worst of us, and spawned a watershed moment for our country. His remarks were met with widespread condemnation and reactions, and precipitated a mass exodus of corporate CEOs, wiping away any lingering doubts that Trump’s goals were ever truly linked to job creation. For the first time, real questions about fitness for office were raised out loud by both sides. This week in Trump’s shrinking, chaotic regime it became even clearer that Trump answers to no one but himself. He continues to attack and attempt to intimidate Republicans into submission, as part of his continuing efforts to consolidate power.
  1. In an impromptu news conference on Charlottesville late Saturday afternoon, Trump said, “We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides.”
  2. White supremacists and neo-Nazi leaders cheered Trump’s “on many sides” comments, taking his words as a defense, or even as a tacit approval, of their action.
  3. On Sunday, the WH issued a statement to “clarify” Trump’s Saturday comments, saying Trump condemns all forms of “violence, bigotry and hatred” while naming white supremacists, KKK, and neo-Nazis.
  4. 32 year-old Heather Heyer was killed Saturday after a car driven by James Fields rammed into a crowd of counter-protestors in Charlottesville. Nineteen others were injured.
  5. Daily Caller and Fox News deleted a post titled, “Here’s A Reel Of Cars Plowing Through Protesters Trying To Block The Road,” which included a video encouraging people to drive through protests.
  6. Two state troopers, Lieutenant Cullen and Trooper Bates, who were keeping watch on the demonstrations in Charlottesville, were killed when their helicopter went down.
  7. On Sunday, a candlelight vigil planned for Heather Heyer in Charlottesville was cancelled due to a “credible threat from white supremacists.”
  8. Neo-Nazis disparaged Heyer, and the KKK celebrated her death. Neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer was taken down after activists, led by my Sunday tweet, contacted domain hosts Go Daddy, Google, etc.
  9. After US hosting companies refused to host The Daily Stormer, the website briefly relocated to Russia, for which they thanked Trump, before being kicked off there too. China rebuffed them too.
  10. In the wake of Charlottesville, numerous tech companies including Facebook, Google, Spotify, Uber, Squarespace and many others took action to curb use of their services and platforms by alt-right groups.
  11. A Unite the Right organizer was disavowed by his family. Several marchers who were identified on social media lost their jobs. Others were asked to denounce their activities or were expelled by colleges.
  12. On Sunday, Trump’s popularity hit a new low at Gallup with 34% approving and 61% disapproving (-27).
  13. On Monday, Sessions said the car ramming into Heather Heyer and 19 others “does meet the definition of domestic terrorism” under US law.
  14. On Monday morning, Merck’s CEO resigned from Trump’s American Manufacturing Council saying as a “matter of personal conscience, I feel a responsibility to take a stand against intolerance and extremism.”
  15. Later Monday, Trump tweeted @Merck is a leader in “higher & higher drug prices,” and “taking jobs out of the U.S.”
  16. Later Monday and Tuesday, four more CEOs resigned from Trump’s American Manufacturing Council over his handling of Charlottesville.
  17. Trump countered, “I have many to take their place. Grandstanders should not have gone on.” Trump offered no new names publicly.
  18. On Wednesday, NYT reported the CEOs on Trump’s Strategic and Policy Forum held a morning conference call to discuss whether to disband the policy forum. The Manufacturing Council planned a call that afternoon.
  19. Before the policy forum, and possible manufacturing council could formally disband, midday Wednesday Trump tweeted “rather than putting pressure on the businesspeople,” he was ending both.
  20. On Thursday, the WH announced the Presidential Advisory Council on Infrastructure, which was still being formed, would not move forward.
  21. On Monday, Trump said he is “seriously considering” a pardon for ex-Sheriff Joe Arpaio, saying, “He’s a great American patriot.”
  22. In the aftermath of Charlottesville, the Phoenix mayor called on Trump to delay his planned rally next week, saying Trump’s plan to pardon Arpaio could “enflame emotions and further divide our nation.”
  23. Minutes after the Phoenix mayor’s statement, Trump tweeted a link for tickets to his Phoenix event.
  24. Advocates said there has been a spike in reports of anti-LGBTQ violence since Trump took office. As of August, there are already more hate-related homicides than in all of 2016, excluding Pulse.
  25. A Virginia high school sent a letter to parents saying selection for AP and Honors classes would at least partly based on race.
  26. On Monday, the Holocaust memorial in Boston was vandalized for the second time this summer.

  28. On Tuesday morning, Trump tweeted then deleted an image of a train running over a CNN reporter.
  29. On Tuesday at Trump Tower, with Mnuchin, Chao and Cohn by this side, Trump turned what was supposed to be remarks about his infrastructure plan into an “off-the-rails” news conference on Charlottesville.
  30. Reversing himself for the fourth time in four days, Trump said “I think there’s blame on both sides” — insinuating that the “alt-left” was just as much to blame as white supremacists and neo-Nazis.
  31. Trump claimed not all the white supremacists and neo-Nazis were bad people, “you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides.”
  32. When asked about Bannon, Trump said “He’s a good man. He’s not a racist,” and that the press treats him, “frankly, very unfairly.”
  33. Trump claimed alt-right protestors had a permit, but counter-protesters “came charging in without a permit” and “were very, very violent.” WAPO gave the claim that counter-protestors had no permit 4 Pinocchios.

  35. Trump’s staff, expecting brief remarks on infrastructure, were stunned by his action. One senior WH official told NBC, Trump “went rogue.”
  36. POLITICO reported Trump was “in good spirits” Tuesday night, and felt the “new conference went much better” than his Monday speech.
  37. Alt-right leaders praised Trump’s Tuesday comments. Richard Spencer said he was “really proud of him,” and David Duke tweeted, “Thank you President Trump for your honesty & courage to tell the truth.”
  38. Axios reported within the Trump WH, Bannon unapologetically supported Trump’s instinct to blame “both sides,” and that he and Trump “instinctively searched for “their” people in that group of protesters.”
  39. Mnuchin’s Yale classmates wrote an open letter calling on him to resign immediately, saying Trump “declared himself a sympathizer with groups” whose values are antithetical to Yale and decent human beings.
  40. In a Republican primary in Alabama Tuesday, Trump’s chosen candidate Luther Strange, who he very publicly supported, came in second.
  41. On Wednesday, Pence cut his international trip to Central and South America short to come home. The stated reason was to join a national security meeting on Friday, although rumors flew with other theories.

Ian Fleming's Moonraker and Die Another Day: An examination of a bizarre adaptation

Rereading the first few Ian Fleming Bond novels with their film adaptations in mind is an interesting experience. First you have Casino Royale, which received a half-century-later film adaptation that added a new first act before getting into the novel content about an hour in, modernized things, and actioned up Vesper’s death from sleeping pill suicide to shootout in a sinking Vienna house while otherwise fairly closely following the story, scenes and characters from the novel, depicting Bond and Le Chiffre’s battle of wits at Casino Royale and its aftermath. The roles of Vesper, Felix Leiter and Mathis, the ball torture, the recuperation, going off with Vesper, "The bitch is dead," it's all there.
Then there’s Live and Let Die, which received a much looser film adaptation, freely snatching some characters, settings, a few scenes and general concepts (even some surprisingly specific ones, like Mr. Big’s club having a table that sinks into the floor with Bond sitting at it) from the novel while largely making up the narrative it used these elements in from scratch. Bond film fans will also notice some plot elements from the back half of the novel repurposed for use in the movies Licence to Kill and For Your Eyes Only.
Then there’s Moonraker, which received what could generously be called one of the loosest film “adaptations” in the history of book-to-film cinema. The film Moonraker shares exactly three elements with its eponymous novel:
• It involves a piece of technology called the Moonraker. Only the names are shared - in the book, it is basically a new long-range missile technology. In the film, it is a space shuttle.
• The villain is named Hugo Drax. Again, only the names are shared. In the book, he is a hotheaded and vulgar man with red hair who is a secret former Nazi pretending to be a British industrialist and national hero, who plans to use his Moonraker missile to destroy London. In the film, Drax is a quiet and soft-spoken French space technology magnate with brown hair who plans to gas the planet from space and live in a space station. Not only are they different, but their personalities are literally almost exact opposites.
• In the ONE scene in the book adapted into the film, Drax places Bond and the story’s female hero (Gala Brand in the book, Holly Goodhead in the film) under the nozzle of a rocket so that they will burn to death when it fires. Bond and the girl cleverly escape the rocket in both, of course.
Other than that, the 1955 novel Moonraker and 1979 film Moonraker share absolutely nothing, not a single scene, plot point, location, character, concept, nothing in common.
But, if you use a little creative thinking and look at things from a big picture perspective, you may come to realize that Ian Fleming’s Moonraker was in fact adapted into a film a couple decades later, and many an Ian Fleming fan may be horrified to realize that film is none other than 2002’s Die Another Day. Let’s go into how this adaptation took place:
• Now, first off, you may be saying “I don’t remember that part of Ian Fleming’s Moonraker where Bond was captured by North Koreans, held captive for 14 months, traded back to MI6, escaped, and went to Cuba.” And you’d be right! What you’re seeing here is the screenwriters doing a dry run at exactly the same thing they would do four years later with Casino Royale: Making up roughly 40% of a film worth of original content before getting into the story of a relatively short novel.
• And that story begins at a club called Blades, where Bond goes in the book to meet and investigate wealthy British industrialist/hero Hugo Drax cheating at bridge. In the film, Bond goes to a club, also called Blades, to meet and investigate wealthy British industrialist/hero Gustav Graves (who has cheated at fencing by getting his protege Miranda Frost a gold medal at the Olympics by faking a drug overdose for the woman who originally beat her). Bond then engages the cheat Drax/Graves at bridge/fencing, beating him at his own game, revealing the angry side of the red-headed secret villain.
• Also note that in the book the British government has placed a spy with Drax named Gala Brand to investigate him. In the film, the character Miranda Frost (who was called Gala Brand in the initial script and all the way through the casting of Rosamund Pike in the role) is also a spy placed by the British government with Graves. The key difference, and why I believe they changed the name, is that in the book Brand is loyal to England, in the film she actually does switch allegiance to Graves.
• After beating Drax/Graves at his own game, Bond is invited to check out Drax/Graves’ new piece of technology that has supposedly been created for the peace and prosperity of the world and with the full approval and support of the government, the MoonrakeIcarus Project. (In the book, it is right there in England, it is in Iceland in the film.) Bond travels there to see the technology and meets up with Brand/Frost. (Needless to say, the book does not introduce us to this section of the story with “I’m Mr. Kil!” “Well there’s a name to die for.”)
• After investigating, the truth is revealed: Drax/Graves is secretly a villain planning to use his supposedly world-benefiting technology as a weapon for evil. Why? Because he secretly a two-faced agent of a foreign country who is only pretending to be British, and secretly still working for what is, in his own twisted mind, the glory of his homeland; Drax, a former Nazi, for Nazi Germany, and Graves for North Korea, as he is North Korean Colonel Moon in disguise.
• Drax/Graves, with the help of his creepy scientist henchman Krebs/Vlad, attempts to kill Bond by dropping a cliff on him. In the book, he dynamites some cliffs above a beach that Bond and Brand are on, which they narrowly survive. In the film, he zaps some ice cliffs with his space laser, which Bond parasails away from on the tsunami in some of 2002’s finest CGI.
• In the end, the villain is hoist by his own petard, Drax killed by his own Moonraker missile when Bond and Brand reprogram its target coordinates away from London to the spot in the sea where he happens to be escaping with his Nazi cohorts in a submarine, and Graves by Bond pitching him in his Robocop suit into a turbine on his own damn plane.
Now, the in-between of all these elements varies quite a bit from novel to film, of course. The film declines to adapt quite a bit of Bond’s investigation into Drax’s Moonraker operation, instead working in the character of Jinx, a fight amidst lasers, a car chase on the ice (the book DOES have a Bond vs. Drax car chase, but under wildly different circumstances), a sword fight on a plane, and a Robocop suit. I’m certainly not claiming we’re looking at a one-to-one adaptation here. But looking at all the evidence (and keeping in mind Miranda Frost was called Gala Brand right up through shooting), it seems undeniably that Die Another Day, not 1979’s Moonraker, is the film adaptation of Fleming’s Moonraker.
If nothing else it shows in Gustav Graves, who pretty much is the novel’s Drax, a red-haired secret agent of the enemy enacting his own private revenge using a new technological weapon in the guise of a British hero, a hotheaded and quick-to-anger cheat.
Now, the real question is, could they ever go back to Moonraker and do a much closer film adaptation? I say damn well of course they could. No one except huge Bond freaks like me ever would have noticed most of this in the first place, and anyway, by the time they did such a thing Die Another Day would be 20+ years old anyway. Now, it would take a clever screenwriter to approach making an action film from Fleming’s Moonraker: For one, the first action scene in the entire novel takes place almost two-thirds of the way through. But such problems are for a clever screenwriter, not a schlub like me.
But there you have it: Die Another Day is a bizarre and (for better or worse… most Bond fans would probably argue worse) incredibly imaginative adaptation of Moonraker.
(Oh, and one other element of Ian Fleming’s Moonraker was used in another film: Drax’s line “I should spend the money quickly, Commander Bond” when Bond beats him at bridge was slightly altered to “Spend the money quickly, Mr. Bond” and given to Kamal Khan when Bond beats him at backgammon in Octopussy.)
