Talk About It
Discussion starters
- How is revenge different from justice? How easy or difficult is it to tell them apart in practice?
- Matthis urges Bond to "forgive" Vesper and himself. Is this good advice?
- What is forgiveness? How is it different from understanding or excusing? What would it mean to "forgive" oneself? What do people often mean when they say this?
- Camilla tells Bond she wishes she could help free him. Why is Bond not free? What would freedom mean for him? Why can't Camilla help him?
The Family Corner
For parents to consider
Quantum of Solace is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, and some sexual content. There's a lot of brutal, sometimes deadly hand-to-hand combat and gunplay as well as vehicular chase/combat sequences involving cars and aircraft. Sexual content includes a brief post-coital bedroom scene (no explicit nudity) and a sequence involving attempted sexual assault and references to rape in the back story. Objectionable language includes misuse of God's name as well as some obscene and crass references.
