So why the convoluted scheme? Silva could easily have killed M at a time when she was less closely monitored, and if his plan is intended to inflict maximum damage on the secret service as an institution, killing M in full view of the public would if anything prove that Bond's employers MI6 should be given more support and powers. Similarly, it is due to his arrogance that Silva lets himself get caught solely to prove MI6 were hopeless against terrorism, only for him to die being proved wrong.
Cathal Gunning has been writing about movies and TV online since A print-out of his face adorns one of several cardboard cut-outs in the building's now dilapidated shooting range.
The irreparable damage he caused to the building is clearly shown. Raoul Silva was a young, tall and a bit muscular man with peroxide long blonde hair which was parted to the right and blue eyes; both were probably not natural.
He wore a prosthetic upper jaw to conceal the damage done by the failed cyanide capsule; without it, his left cheek collapsed, causing his lower eyelid to droop as well, and he was left with only a few stubs of teeth which were grey with decay.
In his first appearance, he wore a cream jacket, a Prada tile print dress shirt, brown waistcoat and trousers, and brown shoes. After escaping his cell at MI6, he disguised himself as a Metropolitan police officer.
In the final showdown at the Skyfall Lodge, he has a long trenchcoat, a communication earpiece, a black shirt and combat boots. When he was working under M, Raoul Silva had a deep admiration for the future MI6 head to the point of considering her a mother figure, and as a result, he experienced her betrayal as a serious trauma that destroyed him psychologically, hence his determination to play with her before killing her with his own hands he even refused to let one of his subordinates do it in his place.
This event also generated a great infantile anger in Silva, which pushed him to dedicate his life to send the wave back to M, but also against his country that he had sworn to protect and that he now considered guilty of the sufferings he endured under torture during his captivity.
In the present, Silva was a powerful, feared and ruthless terrorist whose only concern is to see M die, even if it means risking his own life to do so. He indeed often revealed an apparent disregard for the safety of his own life, allowing himself to be captured by SIS in a bid to exact revenge on M.
Though he maintained an intensely strong hatred towards the MI6 head, he was also conflicted about her. He was convinced that he had survive to "look into [her] eyes one last time". During their confrontation in the MI6 cell room where he was held after his initial capture, Silva grew increasingly more agitated and deranged as she refused to show any remorse or regret for her actions, especially when she refused to use his real name.
When he first met Bond, he also blamed M personally for compelling him towards a path that could easily kill him, quite ignoring his own willingness to do so. Silva called her "Mommy" or "Mother" multiple times, and he ultimately could not bring himself to personally kill her - to the point when he has her at the point of a gun, and can't bring himself to pull the trigger. He had a sarcastic wit, shown constantly against Bond during their battle of wits, even using Bond's own words against him.
Silva was also an overly dramatic, flighty, flamboyant, peculiarly quirky, and colorful man with a flair for theatrics. Despite his chaotic methods, Silva maintained an air of calm and often handled things with ease - even after his men were killed by Bond, and later held at gunpoint by the latter, Silva remained completely reserved and even managed to mock him.
He was often jovial, rather refined and expressed himself with a polite and deceptively benevolent language. Silva also seemed to have an appreciation for classical music, notably Boum by Charles Trenet. During his attack on Skyfall Lodge, he had outfitted his assault helicopter with nearly a dozen loudspeakers - solely for playing rock music during the attack namely Boom Boom , by The Animals , for the purposes of intimidation and being a nuisance.
As Bond put it, he "always [had] to make an entrance. Silva was extremely intelligent, able not only to outsmart M, but Q and Bond as well, even going so far to use them as part of his plan while playing with their nerves. Even M, who has always been critical of Bond, described Silva as 'a brilliant agent'. Despite being revealed to have been funded by Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Silva proved himself to be master at puppeteering as well.
Despite being a pawn, he certainly was not a puppet. It has been theorized that Silva had borderline personality disorder, which is characterized by intense fear of abandonment, emotional extremes, and an unstable sense of identity.

Only you can do it. Do it! Boat Captain. Do you like the island? My grandmother had an island. Nothing to boast of. You could walk around it in an hour. But still, it was, it was a paradise for us. He's got skills if he really needs to utilise them, but I think after his cyanide incident he chilled out, content to sit behind a computer.
Several times he mentions Bond exerting himself. Good point, I thought that as firstly I assumed the guards would be armed with a dangerous prisoner amongst them, and since Silva wasn't, he'd have to get them pretty damn close to kill them without being shot.
I can't actually give an answer, because it's quite strange how he did that. It must just either be the guards really didn't think much of Silva and possibly tried to contain him, under-estimating his skills, and he managed to dispatch them.
Obviously he's far deadlier and clever than we thought. Which I think was his idea anyway, to seem helpless. I didn't think on that as I would have thought MI6 would have frisked him better than that to let him hide away. But then it makes you think did someone help him get out for that moment, and he killed them too?
Was one of the guards in on it..? He even tried to have Bond crushed by a tube train taking him to a door he knew he couldn't open Q is Quantum!!
I noticed it right away. In my opinion Lecters escape is dealt much better in the film than in the novel which explains how Lecter got his lockpick.
I really don't want to know exactly how Silva escaped, what I can imagine is much more gratifying. Posted 28 February - PM.
We could see he was riling up the guard. The guard looked arrogant and seemed to be taking the bait.
