Movies are known to make female characters more submissive and physically attractive, which makes them more attractive to men. Mulvey believed that Hollywood films used women as an “erotic” object and that film narratives were mostly constructed to give heterosexual male audiences the opportunity to admire the female body (170). In Casino Royale, it is obvious when the camera focuses on the physical aspects of Vesper Lynd wearing tight clothing. The attractive image becomes almost iconic to male viewers. Camera effects, mise-en-scène, and sound are all used to portray and alter the representation of women (Mulvey 169). Here the film highlights female eroticization in which Bond gives Vesper Lynd a "skimpy" dress to wear, to distract her opponent Le Chiffre from a high-stakes card game allowing him to ultimately win the game. “I need you to look fabulous,” Bond tells her, “so that when you come behind me and kiss me on the neck, the players in front of me will think about your cleavage and not their cards.” Vesper later enters the Casino, kisses Bond and then approaches the bar, with the camera watching her from behind. At this point Bond is shown "checking her out", although it is unclear whether he is pretending to do so as part of the plan to divert Le Chiffre's attention, or simply out of his own desire (Pheasant-Kelly 204-205). Casino Royale also features Bond scenes as an erotic spectacle (Mulvey 168). The film's action sequence continues to highlight the vulnerability of the male body in the final scene. Bond emerges from the ocean wearing a pair of tiny shorts, which can be said to nurture the “female gaze” as opposed to the “male gaze” (Mulvey 174-78). It has... half the paper... and cleanliness. In the past it was thought that women were only about "housekeeping and family", however Casino Royale shows its audience otherwise. In conclusion, Mulvey still has relevance in the portrayal of women in action films, but has been less consistent over the years. Casino Royale managed to deny historical stereotypes with the role of Vesper Lynd in which she defeats all the labels that women were previously given, as weak and domesticated as well as being dominated by a patriarchal society regarding sexuality. Vesper Lynd carries the burden of portraying women on her shoulders and has managed to change the way women have been portrayed and introduced in most action films. Not so much was Bond influenced by his roles, but he became less dominant and more on par with his co-stars..
