The title sequence of the film Spectre establishes several key elements: 1) An octopus-shaped ring seen at the beginning implies the film will involve an octopus or octopus-like creature. 2) Early scenes depict the main hero surrounded by nude women, relying on typical stereotypes of women in films. 3) Shots of a skull-faced man and a bad guy with octopus tentacles behind him suggest the main enemy and that he is head of an "octopus cult". 4) Images of violence, broken glass, and a tentacled woman imply themes of action, characters from past films, and a possible hostage situation.

stereotype about

main character of the
film, or the ‘hero’. Due to
how early he is shown
on screen and the
amount of time he is
shown throughout the
sequence it suggests
that he is the good guy
and also that he never
gives off a negative
impression during the
sequence.

nude woman wrapped
in tentacles moving
seductively, due to the
duration on screen this
could be representing
the main female
character in the film.
However, the tentacles
could represent
something holding her
down and suppressing
her; this idea combined
with the octopus logo
could represent a
hostage-like situation
of some sort.

characters appearing and
disappearing in shards of
broken glass, this could be
representing any
characters from previous
films ‘breaking’ in this film
or previous characters
who could be
reappearing.

octopus standing in the
same position as the
logo on the ring, with
two people standing
underneath it. This could
represent this octopus
cult to be a higher
power to whoever is
underneath it.

moves up the body
of the octopus in the
previous scene and
reveals the man
with a skull face.

in charge of this
octopus cult.
