Every movie is about something that happened before the film began now. It's a lazy way to add pathos to a character without working for it by creating decisions for them to make.

ZOMG this helps clarify one of the (many) things I hated about SPECTRE, the unneeded cramming of jilted brother being the reason behind all Bond's previous movie villains. Used to be that James Bond's job was dealing with random crazy people, now it, too, has to be about the trauma of his dead parents and such. Blergh.
