I haven't seen Skyfall yet; but, I don't doubt your interpretation of the message. Actually, it seems to me that I've heard that same message many times, on this very forum.
Do you remember this song?
“Why did everything
Every little thing, every little thing
With you and me have to be so political?”
I've boycotted so many movies in recent years, and vetoed so many TV shows that my wife might soon be humming that tune. I try to set it all aside, now and again.
>> “the more I appreciate an interlude of mindless” <<

I get all the mindlessness I need from the evening news.
>> “Do you remember this song?” <<

No, I have no idea who might even have sung it.
Politics is about life, and shunning politics is a cop-out.
