Today, 15 years ago, the first film of the "Bourne Shadow" series was released in full. As the pioneering work of this series, it broke the usual routine of special agent-themed film and television works including 007 and the Mission: Impossible series, setting a new benchmark for spy war films.
Especially the super presence style formed by the entire series afterwards, sharp editing and hand-held photography, all make this series unique
Today, 15 years later, let us look back at this classic. Good movies can withstand repeated rewatching, and new information can be discovered every time.
1. The name of the protagonist Jason Bourne comes from an American pastor named Ansel Bourne.
He is the first recorded patient with dissociative psychosis , accompanied by multiple personality disorders and amnesia.
On January 17, 1887, Ansel Byrne traveled from Rhode Island to Pennsylvania, and then forgot who he was. He opened a convenience store under the name AJ-Brown in Pennsylvania and started a new life. Later, it was discovered that he thought he was both Bern and Brown under hypnosis, and the two personalities did not know each other.
2. In the Bourne Shadows trilogy, the first shot of the first part and the last shot of the third part are Bourne in the water. The difference is that the former is dying and awaiting rescue, while the latter is him who has suspended his death and flees.
3. Jason Byrne looked at the mirror on the boat after amnesia and said "Weet je wie ik ben? Hou dan godverdomme op met dat gezeik en zeg het me".
Some subtitles are incorrectly annotated in German. In fact, this is Dutch, meaning "Do you know who I am? Then don't talk so much nonsense, just tell me quickly."
4. The ship that rescued Berne was called the Aventura, which is Spanish, meaning adventure and adventure. In view of the fact that Marseille in France is a mixed city, the Spanish name of this ship from France is not a good idea.
5. This shot of Byrne suddenly disappearing into the crowd, I thought it was dazzled the first time I saw it
Last second
Next second
Then I think maybe the director is using jump cuts to show Bourne's ability to hide in the city at any time.
Some people say that the shot Bourne has not disappeared. After passing by the camera, Byrne ran on the side of the passing tricycle.
6. The film pays great attention to the details of props, such as the choice of firearms
When Berne spent the night on a park bench in Switzerland, two Swiss policemen asked him to show his ID. After Bourne rebelled, he seized a SIG-Sauer P225 9mm caliber pistol from the police. This pistol is actually used by the police in Switzerland and Germany.
Conklin used a Makarov pistol in Berne's upper line, which was the equipment of the Soviet police force at the time and was generally worn by officers above the middle rank. In the original work, Conklin is a Russian-American official.
Byrne's gun is a SIG-Pro SP2009. But the gun was locked back into the box by Berne and returned to the bank just a few seconds after it showed up.
7. What's in Byrne's safe:
Contact lens potion and glasses case
TAG Heuer Lincoln series watches
The little purple box contains contact lenses that change the color of the pupil
American Express is still a black card
Air France membership card
The lower right corner may be the medical record card, not sure
Open the second floor, full of Dangdang money and passports.
In the lower left corner is a wad of Italian lira, and in the upper left corner is US dollars.
The 250 yuan denomination is the Dutch Guilder.
The stack under the gun should be Deutsche Mark, because the Fünfhundert Deutsche Mark (500 Deutsche Mark) is printed on the upper right corner of the banknote.
Now Bourne does not need to prepare so many banknotes, only euros.
As for why there is RMB, it is not mentioned in the movie. However, in the second book of the original, there is a story in China.
8. The protagonist thinks that he is called Jason Byrne because the first passport he picked up is called that name. He is the main actor of Operation Stumbling in France, and Jason Byrne is his cover in France. If the story takes place in another place, he will be another person.
If he were in Brazil, he would be Gilberto de Piant.
This name appeared in the third part of the movie
As for his real name, David Webb, he was not told to him until the third part of the feature film.
9. Byrne could finally find Mary in Greece, perhaps because of this sentence.
Mary once opened a surf shop with friends. She liked that time very much, but unfortunately she was cheated of money in the end. With the money Bowen gave her, she might return to her old career.
So Bourne must have been listening to Mary on the way to Paris, even though he didn't say a word.
In addition, the T-shirt that Mary wore in the hotel had a map of Corfu, Greece printed on it.
10. I didn't find any new information about this fighting scene, I just liked it very much. Let's relive the most glorious appearance of the ballpoint pen in the history of action movies.
11. As soon as Bourne entered Mary's brother's house, he said he was leaving because he saw that the family had children and was preparing for Christmas. His first reaction was that he had nothing to do with such a life.
Mary and her brother were cooking together, looking at Byrne outside the window, he was playing with her brother's children.
Mary had probably dreamed of having such a life with Bourne one day.
Byrne was playing with the children. At the same time, the camera turned around. Outside the children's playground, Niki gave the address of Mary's brother's house to the killer.
12. Children are the weakness of Byrne and his bottom line.
The reason why he was seriously injured when he fell into the sea with amnesia was because he saw the child who was assassinated when he was on the yacht, and he couldn't do it.
After realizing the danger, Byrne told Mary's brother's family to hide in the basement, and went out alone with his gun to fight the killer who didn't know where. He will fight back, not only for himself but also for Mary's brother's child.
13, Byrne is a little expert in finding things, especially looking for guns. Talking to Mary in the restaurant is not bragging at all.
After seeing the shotgun at Mary's brother's house, he immediately found the gun in the horns.
14. Together with the one that Byrne is holding, there are a total of seven shots, which can be double-shot or single-shot. They are used for: a shot in the straw, a shot in the sky, and a shot in the left shoulder and right hand of the killer.
The gun shot in the sky had two intentions:
Startled the birds. Byrne ran with the birds immediately after firing the gun, in order to observe where the bird flocks to avoid, where people are hidden, and to prevent the killer from finding himself based on the source of the sound of firing the gun;
Frightened the killer hiding in the dark, made him think that he had been exposed, and forced him to move. After firing the gun, the killer quickly exposed his position due to his movement and was killed by Bourne.
15. At the end of the film, the place where Bern and Mary reunited is Mykonos in Greece. In the movie, Mary opened a locomotive rental shop there.
In reality it is a restaurant called Sea Satin Market.
Mary hung the bag that Byrne gave her next to the cash register, full of flowers.
This red bag is like Bourne's heart, thrilling and thrilling all the way, and finally found peace by Mary's side.
16. Maybe many people don't know that the Bournegro Heavy has an alternate ending.
This is another ending of the first part
In this ending, the CIA found Byrne in a hotel in Greece. Albert (the old man who ordered the killing of Conklin) wanted to give Bourne a new job, telling Bourne that he would accept it or not. Then Byrne left the hotel and found Mary.
Maybe the director of the first part has other ideas about the sequel, wanting Bourne to return to the CIA, and implied that the CIA is much more capable than Bourne. Not only are the hotels in plain clothes, but Mary was also found by them long ago. Later, the director of the second part was changed, and Byrne was still the lonely agent in the ice and snow.
Fortunately, no matter which ending, the embrace of this reunion will not change.
17. On March 12, 2001, when the first film was still in post-production, the original novel author Robert Ludlum (Robert Ludlum) passed away, without seeing how much the film adapted from his work has produced big influence.
Let us say thank you to him in every language Bourne can speak.
