Faced with the easy kill of Madeleine Swann under the ice, something makes Safin decide to save her. His later monologues imply that something connected them from that point onward and in his chat with James he reveals that they're the same. That they both love Madeleine.
The Origins Of Safin's Obsession With Madeleine
On the surface, Dr. Madeleine Swann's access to Ernst Stavro Blofeld is of primary importance, as Safin wants to use her to kill him with the newly-purloined Project Heracles.
As for his character, issues of parenting, lineage, and the legacy of hate permeate Safin's every move. He blames Madeleine for the death of his family, even though she is not her father.
As the former 007 reflects at Vesper's tomb, he retrieves a piece of paper from his pocket. Bond had written the words "I miss you," which he then sets on fire and tosses in front of Vesper's tomb. This significant moment not only confirms that Vesper was Bond's greatest love.
Madeleine's father, the late Mr. White, killed Safin's family on behalf of terrorist group Spectre when Safin was just a wee lad, so he killed Madeleine's mother to get back at Mr. White. Madeleine got trapped under ice as she tried to escape this attack, but Safin saved her and became obsessed like a big weirdo.
Bond's first encounter with Oberhauser has the villain cry "cuckoo". This is a reference to Bond being a "cuckoo in the nest", the foreigner disrupting the happiness of Oberhauser's family life. Franz Oberhauser is supposed to be the son of the Fleming-created character, Hannes Oberhauser.
There was a 17 year age gap between James Bond and Madeleine Swann, his love interest, this didn't work. The touchy-feely script was miserable and tedious.
Because the nanotechnology would kill Swann and Mathilde if they were ever exposed to it, Bond decides to sacrifice himself by staying behind on Safin's exploding island. Before he dies, Bond tells Swann that he loves her and Mathilde, and Swann confirms that he is in fact her father.
Madeleine is the daughter of SPECTRE agent, Mr. White and his wife. In 1998, Lyutsifer Safin came to the White house in Nittedal, Norway to kill Mr. White; who had murdered his entire family on orders from SPECTRE leader Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
Although they are both happy together, Madeleine knows Bond still has lingering thoughts about Vesper Lynd, whom she points out is buried close to them. She encourages to let her go, doing the same with her memory of Safin by writing “masked man” in French on a piece of paper and burning it.
We'll get onto why he decided not to kill her in the next section, but the general gist is that he's out for revenge and a portion of that is directed at Madeleine due to her family connection.
The inspiration
“The intention was to create a 'pure', expressionless, clean mask to counter the aggression of the character,” Suttirat says, “but also, to underscore a camouflage necessity in the pivotal scene set in the snowy Norwegian landscape.
Safin's entire body is covered in scars, acquired during the aforementioned massacre of his family, of which he was the only survivor. The audience gets their first glimpse of Safin in the opening scene, where his “horror” is covered up under an eerie white face mask.
Though Safin was spared, he was left facially disfigured and traumatized by the deaths of his family members. As such, he became determined to get revenge against Spectre for killing his family.
Dr. Madeleine Swann is a fictional French psychiatrist originally affiliated to the Austrian Hoffler Klinik organization. She is also the daughter of the mysterious SPECTRE member Mr. White and the lover of Secret Intelligence Service (SIS/MI6) operative James Bond, becoming the mother of his only child.
According to the outlet, Safin is "a former SPECTRE assassin who has risen through the ranks to become a powerful figure in the world of terrorism". Speaking previously, Malek described Safin as a "formidable adversary".
An especially strange No Time To Die line about mosquitoes might secretly confirm the theory that Madeleine Swann is Blofeld's daughter.
