Silva is an ex agent that use to work for MI6 and M. He is angry because he was betrayed.
So in a sense he feels like he has been betrayed by his own mother.
And all this rage that goes with it,because he has been suffering betrayal for years.
That almost ended with his life. So he wants revenge. He comes back very strongly with a very well thought plan to end M's life.
And I think it's great, because it is something personal. It's not about destroying the world. I'ts about having a focus on one person that he wants to eliminate.
It helps me to have a more realistic circumstance to work and put it out there.
I was afraid, because there was some physicality in the scene and I didn't want to hurt her, but she was such a delight. And she was there just looking at your eyes and being relaxed as she is as an actress.
It gives you so much and she was doing something very difficult, which is maintaining her concentration of me going through the scene so many times, because we had to do it serveral times.
We tried different ways of playing it. She was there and doing her job like such a lady. Again it's a gift for an actor to be close to Judi Dench and to be able to play one scene with her.
