After a 6 year absence, MI6 took on a new look. In reality, it
had recently been revealed that Stella Rimmington was the head
of MI5, and, as a mirror of reality, Dame Judi Dench took on the
role of M. This is a different M, however, a family woman with
a difficult career. Dench gives M a wonderfully modern makeover,
playing her with the requisite air of authority.
Most memorable quote:
"You're a sexist, misogynist dinosaur, a relic of the cold
war..."
Personality
On the Goldeneye mission, many changes have occurred with the
MI6, as well as a new and modern headquarters, there is also a
female head of MI6. Many agents, especially Bond, would have throughout
they were in for a relaxing career, not so, after taking over
as Head of MI6, M proved to be even more strict than her predecessor.
M posses the same unemotional and non-humorous characteristics
as her predecessor, who is also able to strike fear into her agents.
Bond considered her a bean counter, only concerned with MI6's
funds and resources, Bond soon found out the hard way, M considered
him a "sexist, misogynist dinosaur - a relic of the Cold
War". M still maintains a high regard for Bond on a professional
basis, just like her predecessors.
Involvement
M has been head of MI6 starting in 1995, just before the Goldeneye
mission. Her major involvement came during The World Is Not Enough
where she was taken captive by Elektra King before Bond rescued
her.
