I see what you're saying
Point well taken. And I will admit to being curious about how a talented actor like Elba would interpret Bond.
I guess I spent too much of my time reading the old novels when I was younger. Tends to make one rigid and narrow minded. Much like Fleming himself.
I actually didn't mean to say I agreed with you to a certain extent. I agree with you whole heartily with regards to Fleming being racist/prejudiced. I tried reading some of his novels a long time ago & stopped. One of the books I remember was For Your Eyes only where he refers to Cubans as monkeys & Cuban women looking like monkeys in dresses. There have been a lot of prejudiced writers that people don't know about like Tolkien.
