Byrne's legacy

After watching the screening at 6:30, Matt Damon's The Bourne Bourne 2 was just on TV at home. Personally, I think 2 is the best of the four so far.

Of course, the masterpiece is difficult to surpass. With a new director and new actors, fans can be forgiven for not buying it. Directors Tony and Jeremy Renner are actually very courageous. And after a lot of thought, the new one has no Bourne at all, it is a new character, and the story time overlaps with The Bourne Bourne 3. This setup is great.

It is a pity that it did not surpass the previous work. Matt Damon's three large and bold handheld shots, beautiful but realistic, low-key, and high-IQ plots are difficult to replicate. There are some aerial shots in the new work, what is the effect? . .

One of the interesting lines in 2 is the interaction between Byrne and Randy, who are both enemies and friends, which is very exciting. I really like the character of Randy, her situation is subtle, but gritty, calm, righteous, principled, and the cast is really good, only for a few seconds in this episode, with Edward Norton in her place, so far I didn't find that this character is outstanding (not the actor's performance, but the charm of this character)

. Compared with the first three films, the overall feeling is that it looks less strenuous, because the plot is much simpler, and the character's psychological activities are also much less. There are also a lot fewer secrets.

But no matter what, compared to ordinary commercial films, films like the Mission: Impossible series that only sell cool products and sell beautiful thighs are still a few streets away from them! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

So I still give it four stars! ! ! And if there are 5 more shots, I will still watch it! ! !

The charm of the Bourne series lies in its sternness. In general commercial films, the protagonist is portrayed as a god who is invincible and will never be beaten to death. He jumped from a dozen-story high-rise building without scratching his skin, but Bourne is different in that he is a human. Not God, all his actions are logical and workable. Its plot is as serious and serious as an agent training manual. Instead of grabbing the audience's attention with visual wonders such as big explosions and car crashes, his love is also simple. He didn't deliberately get a beautiful heroine to show off his coquettish coquettish and add a sex scene, and he didn't save the country, save all mankind and save the earth. It's not exaggerated, it's not promiscuous. Nor is it the mainstream values ​​of American patriotism. It has thinking, he goes to answer a profound question of "who am I, where do I come from, where do I go" and the contradiction between the individual and the system (this is better done by the Brazilian movie "Elite Force"). In fact, each of us may face the Bourne-style confusion. One morning, one midnight, we suddenly reflect that we are just a small screw in a huge machine, and this machine is retrograde, the more sober you are. more painful. You can't move, you can't resist. Or be a lone hero - like Bourne.

Episode 4 is still a cat-and-mouse game, and it hasn't gotten to the best part of the story, which is the collapse of the system or the failure of a lone hero, Bourne fans, and so on.
