I finally decide to watch Goldfinger. There's loads of reasons why I should of watched Goldfinger but now I've decided to finally watch it and I've really soaked up watching this. Goldfinger is a 1964 James Bond film based of the novel released in 1959. Being the third Bond film, it delivers. I'm more interested with the impact it's made on pop culture today. Everything from the famous villains to the famous Aston Martin DB5. The movie was heavily parodied in the movie Austin Powers, such as the Korean bodyguard assassin who throws his wardrobe to the female anti-hero Pussy Galore who was parodied also.
It's still not the reason to watch this movie. The ending of the film was worth everything and I would see why everything is suggesting that I should watch this. It has some of the best production quality of it's era and there's almost no excuse not to watch this movie when you are still around. Other fun facts regarding this movie. It was said that the architect Erno Goldfinger built a block of flats, the Trellick Tower around the time which prompted Ian Fleming to use the name for the movie. This caused Erno Goldfinger to go after Fleming after the success of Goldfinger. Ironically enough, the Trellick Tower is seen as London's most iconic landmark which represents London and it seen across many other movies despite being dubbed 'The Tower to Terror' in the early 80s.
