"The Bourne 1": 73/100, ★★★★; "The Bourne 2": 78/100, ★★★★; "The Bourne 3": 80/100, ★★★★ . The Bourne Bourne 4...sorry, who cares?
There are currently three major spy film series: "007", "Mission: Impossible" and "Bourne Bourne". The first two are hard-hitting characters, flowing styles and themes, James Bond moves with the trends of the times, and Ethan Hunt is pinched by the director. "Spy" is quite different from it. The fierce action scenes with hand-held cameras and quick cuts are always its signature, and Byrne's pursuit of "identity" is throughout. = It
can be said that "007" and "Mission: Impossible" after the change of style and theme can also be "007" and "Mission: Impossible"; but once this change occurs in "Spy", it will not Then there's "Spy".
Jason Bourne, if he doesn't entangle himself, will become a ruthless killing machine, just as the "Stumbling Block" project is designed. And the feelings of the audience will also lose the only point of substitution.
Therefore, this script will continue to make a fuss about Byrne's identity and background, and will use this pretext to let him return to the arena. But here's the dilemma of "Spy": the previous trilogy has painted a near-perfect ring for the theme of "identity pursuit", and it is hard not to look like superfluous no matter how hard you try to embed it in the ring. .
This kind of thing really happened in "Spy 5".
The story takes Bourne's father as the starting point. The idea itself is actually very good, but it is limited to this. The digging is too shallow, and it has no constructive effect other than forcing Bourne to fight again. Moreover, the film's emphasis on privacy and security issues raised by the Snowden incident is a little too heavy, which further dilutes Byrne's existence.
The audience has a limited sense of Bourne's substitution, which directly causes several action scenes to be lengthy. At this time, the hand-cranked shots and quick cuts, which were originally the symbols of the series, also increased the discomfort, although the action scenes themselves were not bad.
There isn't enough emotion/substitution behind a large action scene, and it's a scary thing anyway. Fortunately, for the audience who liked the first three films, this "Spy Shot" still has some sentimental flavors, not as bland as the previous one.
However, there is still a good entry point for the theme of this work, and the sequel - if there will be a sequel - will face the biggest problem.
That's the title: What's the way out for Bourne?
Could it be that the core of the contradiction surrounding Bourne was transferred from "identity", and the concept was stolen to "patriot"? That Byrne would be lost in all sorts of spy roles.
Do you continue to make a fuss about the "stumbling block" plan? Sooner or later, it will completely fall into the rut of self-repetition, and sooner or later the audience will be completely bored.
Will there be a way out for the next Bourne?
Although, as long as we don't move the pill-drinking guy out, we can still be good friends for the time being.
But only temporarily.
