Bourne out of the Bourne

The Bourne series has been photographed so far, and it seems inappropriate to translate it into "The Bourne Shadows". In the first episode, the audience may be as confused as Bourne and need to constantly search for the truth, while in the third episode, all the truths they care about seem to have become clear to the audience, and the rest is just to see how Bourne finds himself. Under these conditions, how to maintain the suspenseful color of the film has become a major challenge for the director. It is the easiest way to let the audience increase their sense of substituting Bourne, but once the audience can't enter the play, it is easy to feel incomprehensible. As a director known for his documentary style, Paul Greengrass is naturally more accustomed to filming from a third-person perspective. In this episode, he was very clever not to force the audience to experience the fog that Bourne felt, and instead focused more on the wits between the two sides, so he retained the plot tension of the old spy movies in the Bourne series.

But this drama is not a pure drama like The Good Shepherd after all. Probably to compete with other action movies in the summer, the action scenes of the movie have increased a lot compared with the previous episode, and the play takes into account the dazzling action design in Identity and the shooting style of Supremacy. The best work in the department. However, the car chase did not feel as exciting as in Supremacy, mainly because the time was too short and the chaotic streets made Paul's shooting more chaotic. But in general, the action scene is much more exciting than the previous episode.

In terms of acting, actresses are more brilliant than male actors. Julia Stiles and Joan Allen played Nicki and Pamela respectively, which performed well. Matt Damon has to act in action scenes and interpret the amnesia killer. Basically, they are more in place and difficult enough for him, but he always feels that his performance in the second half is still incapable. If there is a fourth part, you can imagine that there will be fewer and fewer references for the performance, and it will be harder and harder to perform well. Matt announced early that it should be the right choice to stop.

When everyone compares Bourne with Bond, it can be said that the former has also become a cultural symbol, and the final picture of the ending caption enhances this feeling. Ultimatum can be said to be the pinnacle of this series, but the concept of the amnesia killer provided by the original author Robert Ludlum should also come to an end in this work. If you shoot the fourth and fifth episodes, you can only squeeze the surplus value. Perhaps Jason Bourne will become an enduring screen image like James Bond, but this Bourne is by far the most unique and worth remembering.
