Last night while I was watching the old James Bond movie Quantum of Solace (starring Daniel Craig) on YouTube I came across a section of the movie which I found rather interesting. As a height increase researcher and a height analyst I have realized that I always seem to have my focus and awareness on any mention of height or height increase suggestions.
In James Bond 007 literature and lore, the origin of Bond and his first love was linked to Vesper Lynd. In the movies his origin is described in the movie Casino Royale where Vesper at the end reveals that she had betrayed him and eventually kills herself in guilt. The movie Quantum of Solace continues on directly from the end of the story line from Casino Royale with many of the same characters. Rene Mathis is the friend who James calls on again to help him get a passport and working credit card when M decides to cancel all of his documents due to what she felt was his intolerable, indefensible actions in his job. It is here where the video around the 12:00 time range portrays.
On this YouTube section, around the 12:00-12:20 section, you can hear the other man, an espionage agent who is a friend of Bond ask him whether he wants to take a pill, either a sleeping pill, a painkiller, a pill that let’s you forget, or a pill to make you taller.
Obviously this is just a movie with fictional characters with fake cars and extremely improbable situations however the comment the other man makes about the pills I found really interesting. We know that there are pills to help you sleep and remove or decrease pain.
However the other two types of pills are what we can definitely say has never been materialized. If I was a betting man I would say that Mathis’ claim that he had pills which would let Bond forget, he was being very serious. Mathis is aware that Bond is still suffering inside over the death of Vesper.
Somewhere in the middle Mathis says that he has pills that can make Bond taller. Bond reacts with a slight chuckle in laughter which I am not sure is to show that he understands that Mathis is “just joking” or maybe he is amused that the espionage agent has such a pill that would work.
What I see when I personally look at Mathis’ face is that he is not smiling or smirking, which would indicate his “height increase pills” claim may not be a joke, but he is being serious about the existence of these magic pills.
The subtitles of the YouTube video translate it to “Jag har piller for allt” which I would guess is maybe German or something germanic in origin.
If it was just a joke to break the seriousness of the moment, I would have used something funnier. Maybe it is my serious side but I am slightly wondering whether this fictional government agent in a movie was really serious that he had height increasing pills.
So the question I wanted to ask is “Do government espionage agents have pills to make them taller already at their disposal?”
It could be that I have watched too many spy action movies like the Mission Impossible series with Tom Cruise and the Jason Bourne Series. In the Mission Impossible series the IMF agents have at their disposal a face changer. the face can be easily changed through a 3-D printer which molds a plastic face you can stick to your real face in minutes. Who is to say that the governments of the world nations has not been able to develop height changing technology for reasons of espionage agents who can even alter their height to deceive agencies in covering their real identity when they are in enemy, dangerous locations? Just something I felt is worth thinking about.
