"Trigger Warnings Added to Classic James Bond Films Amid Cultural Sensitivity Concerns"

The British Film Institute (BFI) has added trigger warnings to classic films, including James Bond movies scored by John Barry, to alert audiences of content that may cause offence due to outdated cultural depictions. The warnings, which appear on the BFI's website and at the point of sale, are part of the institute's responsibility to both preserve films' historical accuracy and consider the impact on modern audiences. This move aligns with findings from a survey suggesting a majority of teenagers support such warnings for content that could affect mental health.

"James Bond Films Receive 'Outdated Language' Trigger Warnings for Modern Viewers"

The British Film Institute (BFI) has issued trigger warnings for "outdated" language and stereotypes in a film season featuring James Bond films scored by composer John Barry. The warnings are part of the BFI's efforts to address historical content that reflects past societal views but may be offensive today. Films such as "Goldfinger" and "You Only Live Twice" come with disclaimers, and the BFI has stated its responsibility to both preserve films and present them with appropriate guidance. This follows a recent revision of Ian Fleming's 007 books to remove racist language and references.

"Shaken, Not Stirred: Crafting the Iconic 007 Martini"

A new study suggests James Bond may have a drinking problem, but fans of the fictional superspy can still enjoy his signature Vesper martini. The recipe, originating from Ian Fleming's 1953 novel "Casino Royale," consists of gin, vodka, and Lillet Blanc, shaken until ice-cold and garnished with lemon peel. While the original recipe called for Kina Lillet, it can be substituted with Lillet Blanc as Kina Lillet is no longer available. The "shaken, not stirred" method goes against the traditional way of making martinis, which is usually stirred to avoid dilution.
