Fierce enough-"The Bourne"

In the previous essay, I wrote that "profound art films are made everywhere, but profound commercial films are only made in Hollywood". After reading "The Bourne Vestige" 2 and 3, I strengthened my opinion even more. Not to mention the compact plot with constant climax, not to mention the wonderful and smooth action chase, just to say that the back of Bonn, who is walking alone on the exotic snow with lame legs, gives me a shock that no previous movie has ever had.

"The Bourne" series has profound philosophical implications. I thought of "Sophie's World" more than once when I watched the film. The "God" there is the author of the book, jokingly controlling Sophie's destiny. Here is a powerful authority that is ubiquitous and can cast a net of heaven and earth. The same insignificant individuals fought hard to get rid of the sexual humiliation of rights and strive for a human dignity. France, Switzerland, Germany, Britain, India, Russia, Spain... Bonn ran exhaustedly, searching for himself, searching for answers, but this involved a bigger scandal.

If I use three words to describe the feelings of the three "Bourage", I think "The Bourne" 1 is true, "The Bourne" 2 is tragic, and "The Bourne" 3 is gorgeous. The talent of the director is full of the trilogy, and Matt Damon himself is very civilian, so the sparks are everywhere, the burst of brilliance is dizzying, and the admiration is extreme. Another point is that, unintentionally or intentionally, several female characters in the film are set up to be honest, selfless, and human, while several abusive, cruel and selfish characters are all male. I don’t know whether the director or screenwriter is directed at women. The favor of the audience is the hatred of the patriarchal society. But by replacing several executives with women, you can hope that humanity will win, after all, it is just a limitation of the movie. The reality is that ugliness is everywhere, whether at the top of the pyramid or the pawns at the bottom. There is no distinction between men and women. Although rationally I believe that everything is normally distributed according to probability, ugliness still almost blinds my eyes. I think politics is dirty, which means nothing, just like I don’t like to eat yam.

I heard that Universal is preparing for the shooting of "The Bourne" 4, which has been clearly hinted at the end of "The Bourne" 3. Hollywood policy makers are insatiably greedy and angry. Although I am very reluctant to turn Bonn into 007, it is a century-old age, but thinking that Bonn can continue to live forever, it is not a thing that makes people adrenaline surge. Movies, even Sheriff McLaren, who is already aging and crippled, can still make a gorgeous appearance on the stage. Is there any reason to prevent Bonn from appearing again? It's just that I can't help but say that the trilogy of "Bourne Bourne" is so perfect, so perfect!

    Barely 4 stars. The editing is still short of breath, the chase bridge is not compact enough. The script is sloppy and the logic is not smooth, the French line "not registered" in the last second, and the next second Bourne found the name in the register. Maybe the recording is too serious, maybe Tony Gilroy's screenwriting skills are really limited. Franka Potente is one of the most eye-catching German actresses, right? The French morgue was hacked, and the plot was too random to match the overall tone of the film.

    "The Bourne" 1~3 is the best action thriller I have ever watched! These three are more exciting and more real than Mission Impossible, 007 and so on. Without the help of beautiful women and high-tech props, it relies on observation, DIY and skill~ The director and screenwriter are very skilled, and Matt Damon plays both action scenes and emotional scenes peacefully and naturally. There is no extra sensationalism or inexplicable delay, and a great sense of substitution. (9.0/10)

The Bourne Identity quotes

  • Jason Bourne: Whatever we do, we have to do it together. We have to be...

    Marie: We? The only thing we had in common was that neither one of us knew who you were! We are past that now.

    Jason Bourne: Marie! Listen to me! The police will find us, and the people who took that picture in the Embassy, the people who killed Wombosi, they are going to come here and they are gonna kill us.

    Marie: The people you work for!

    Jason Bourne: I will take you wherever you need to go. I will take you there; I will leave you there. You can do whatever you want, you never have to see me again. But not here. If we stay here, we die.

  • Nykwana Wombosi: If you are going to kill me, kill me dead!
