The scene with bond and Vesper ex. I dont understand it

[DamnCoffee]

Which one?

[bond4life]

You know the scene where he told him to sit down?

[DamnCoffee]

Oh! Bond and Yussef. I misread the thread title, sorry.


I can't be bothered to write out an explination.

So this is from Wikipedia...

Bond goes to Kazan, Russia, where he confronts Vesper Lynd's former lover, Yusef Kabira. Yusef is a member of Quantum who seduces high-ranking women with valuable connections, getting them to give up government assets as ransom for himself in fake kidnappings where he is supposedly held hostage. He is attempting to do the same with Canadian agent Corinne Veneau, even giving her the same kind of necklace he gave Vesper. Surprising them at Yusef's apartment, Bond tells Corinne about Vesper and advises her to alert the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. As Bond is leaving Yusef's apartment he is confronted by M, who is surprised that Bond did not kill Yusef, but rather left him alive for questioning.

Thank you very much

Pardon my ignorance here, but what exactly confused you about the scene? Pretty straight forward if you ask me.

The first time I saw the film, I had questions about that scene as well. Nothing wrong with that at all and thanks bond4life for the question. I did not think the film itself was straight forward anyway

I understood the scene well enough, but on first viewing, was thinking surely there was another scene, a final showdown with Mr. White. And, sure enough, there was; it's just that it was left out of the final edit. When I first heard about that, I was a little annoyed, but since then I've decided that the ending is perfect as is.

Having seen the film once only -- I might watch it again soon -- the coda of the film should have been the film's main story, or at least played a bigger part in it. The scene isn't organic to what we have seen already. Just my opinion.
