You Only Live Twice/007之雷霆谷

This movie was simply a big commercial for Japan. Yes, maybe it was because Japan was catching up with other western countries with the national strength while the movie was filming, and Japan found it necessary to promote itself. There were lots of typical Japanese customs in the movie (actually not necessary for the story) like Sumo, Ninja, Diving Women, Japanese marriage, etc., which would made the audience from east Asia feel familiar.

The movie was a little different from other James Bond movies, which probably lay in the Japanese style and delicate Bond Girls. Of course both were more attractive to me.

Note: No.5 of James Bond/007 series.

本片简直就是日本国的大宣传片，当然这也有可能是因为拍片的时代正赶上日本国力上升、正在努力向外界宣传自己的时代。在本片中可以看到相扑、忍者、海女、日本婚俗等各种典型的日本风情（并非情节所必需），这也让同属于东亚文化的观众感到熟悉。

本片和其他的007影片不太一样，大概是在于浓郁的日本风情和娇小玲珑的邦女郎们更有吸引力。当然，对我来说，这两者更有吸引力。
