The writer of this article, 'Skyfall: a mother and her twin boys' is Robert Albert.

Arguably Skyfall reflects the concerns of contemporary Western audiences, which is noticeable from the setting of violence and the villains. from a Westerns perspective the film is typically favourable of white people and their typical nature,  "Here in this unspecified paradise both natives and guests have sex, lie on beaches, and drink alcohol late into the night. If Bond had stayed “dead,” as Mallory later suggests he might have done, then this is surely the fantasy playground to which Bond, the white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant male, would have retreated under the guise of retirement."

Skyfall highlights the issues of betrayal of family members and the characterisation of Craig “pathological rejection of authority based on unresolved childhood trauma.” 

The ending is ambiguous and open to further films to continue the franchise. Istanbul is the setting and perceived from a Westerns perspective-over congestion of people and vehicles and small markets.
