Does James Bond accurately reflect the British mood? I’m switching off my brain and watching “The World Is Not Enough” on TV. It’s from 1999 and stars the slick Pierce Brosnan.

Does it reflect the current public taste, and does it suggest the best strategy to convince the public in today’s world? A smooth act isn’t quite so trusted. A few rough edges are considered more ‘real”.
