Skyfall: The "Sissy Villain" Again

[Lint Head]

14. The movie was great. Javier Bardem did a fantastic acting job. The scene did not strike me as

stereotypical or a put down. His character, though a despicable villain, solicited empathy because he was wronged is some way. I think the come on scene with James Bond was a jab at the Bond womanizing that has been a part of the secret agent myth since it's inception.
In addition:
The film Before Night Falls (2000) was Javier Bardem's breakthrough role. He received five Best Actor awards and a Best Actor Oscar nomination for his portrayal of a strong-willed man who survived censorship, imprisonment, and homosexual intolerance for the privilege to write freely, only to commit suicide at age 47 in New York, ending a battle with AIDS.

I don't think Sky Fall justifies Hollywood's obvious stereotyping but I also don't think it falls into that category of glorifying it.
