Goldfinger

The Bond universe, a cinematic titan with impressive longevity, has gifted us with countless thrilling moments. Among them, the 1964 classic Goldfinger stands out. This film, an adaptation of Ian Fleming’s novel, introduced us to the unforgettable villain, Goldfinger, who dispatches his own employee, Jill Masterson, in a uniquely macabre fashion – by smothering her in gold paint. A peculiar method of execution, yet undeniably striking and chillingly real.

Imagine your body as a living, breathing entity, not just on the inside but on the outside too. Now, envision wrapping it up tightly, sealing it off from the world. That’s what happened to poor old Masterson. Despite his lungs functioning perfectly, his body was suffocating, gasping for breath under its tight cover. Ironically, the very air he was inhaling couldn’t save him from his untimely demise.
