What Are The Causes Of The Cuban Missile Crisis

Although the Cuban Missile Crisis was a period of immense stress and fear throughout the world, it inspired some media and entertainment we see today. The British spy film, Goldfinger, was made to reflect the shape of the world and the Cold War after the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. Goldfinger was one of the most highly acclaimed spy or James Bond films of all time, and fortifies the confusion between communism and organized crime that appeared many times during films in the 1950s. Goldfinger replaced the Soviets during the Cuban Missile Crisis and Cold War with Chinese and North Koreans, after the Soviets had been the enemies of Bond in some of the past novels/films. Directed by Guy Hamilton in 1964 and starring Sean Connery as James Bond, Goldfinger “provides one of the most interesting treatments of the Cold War” (Schwartz, 1998). The plot centers around a rich man obsessed with gold (Goldfinger), who wants to detonate a bomb inside Fort Knox rendering all the gold there radioactive and therefore not fit for trade. In doing this he would increase the value of his own gold supply, and communists had given him the bomb because it would render America’s economy unstable. In the end, Bond miraculously defeats Goldfinger at the last second like he always does, but it represents the tension and how close the world came to near extinction.
