How is Skyfall a product of its time?

Gender

In Skyfall, Bond is a lot more respectful to women. This is shown as in the new skyfall it is shown as a product of its time due to the scene where the women invites Bond into the shower with him to which he goes in and moneypenny's power over Bond rather than irresistability shown in other Bond franchises. This is shown in Thunderball during the bath scene in which Bond is rude towards women and walks in and when she asks him to get some clothes he gives her his shoes .

Terrorism

In Skyfall terrorism is completed by a single person using technology such as computers and digital to use terrorism which is incredibly difficult to trace. Whereas in older films the terrorist had to actually go out and do it themselves.

Sexuality

 In Diamonds are forever, Gay people are seen as a product of fun to be laughed at and not taken seriously. Whereas in Skyfall, they are more subtly put across and it isnt seen as too obvious that someones sexuality effects there personality.
