The Bourne Bourne 5: 100 reasons to hunt down your ex

Compared with the eternal luxury car beauties and custom suits in the 007 series, the "Bourne Bourne" series is completely a wandering ascetic. One is that the country asks me to destroy you on behalf of justice, and the other is that I go to the country who originally pitted me. Just because the 007 image always looks like a flawless model, I prefer Bourne, who runs away in fear and never sleeps well.

Matt Damon's special agent Jason Bourne wakes up one day and can't remember who he is, until he finds out that the name Jason Bourne actually means the CIA's dark project and his own dark history. Endless escape and a journey to find identity. From the first The Bourne Identity in 2002 to the fifth Jason Bourne in 2016, except for Matt Damon who is no longer young, swinging between finding oneself and losing oneself is a core theme of the Bourne Bourne series. The CIA is like a paranoid who can't let go of a broken relationship. There are a hundred reasons for chasing an ex.

Although it has been nine years since "The Bourne Bourne 3", except for the fast-paced fighting scenes, there is not much new content on the whole. A large number of follow-up shots make the picture shake more than the previous three films. and. If you can only watch 3D, then congratulations to everyone who has seen a 3D movie that is likely to be the most shaky 3D movie in your life.

But slightly different from the previous follow-up shots, in this film, the process of "tracking" further strengthens big data and monitoring, especially Dewey and Heather mobilized the CIA in front of the big screen to hunt down the uncle at the scene of the Greek riot En and Nicky's scene, when Nicky goes down with the countdown, goes completely digital. At that moment you began to wonder, can Byrne, who can defeat all the agents, also escape unprecedented digital surveillance? In the switch between Bourne on the big screen of the CIA and Bourne in front of the audience, the viewing perspective and the narrative perspective begin to blur, and the tracking and monitoring begin to confuse. At a certain moment, people will think that this is a "surveillance video".

Digitization/digitization may be the root cause of another epistemological turn in this century. Even in the just-concluded Olympic Games, the meaning of data was repeatedly mentioned. In the past, athletes did not believe in these so-called technical statistics. Of course, playing football is a matter of hard work and talent. However, now they have found that the predictability brought by big data is unimaginable for individuals, and the scientific values ​​behind the data are indeed "feeling" incomparable.
Of course, data/monitoring is not only in "Bourne Bourne", for example, Iron Man, which is completely digitally created in Marvel heroes, is very popular, and for example, the American TV series "The Detective" specifically tells about a computer algorithm. The chivalrous way of identifying abnormalities and making judgments, but with the development of technology and the Internet, this seems to have become an "inevitability" that is hard to imagine other ways.

The New York Times recently made a short film "How China Is Changing Your Network", arguing that in the past few years, China has created a network tyrant for the world - WeChat (WeChat). If there are Amazon, Facebook, LinkedIn, Yelp, and Uber in the United States, then in China, you only need one WeChat to access all functions. More importantly, this APP now has more than 700 million of active users. The core of the short film is naturally to worry about how the Chinese government will use such a huge data collection to achieve the strongest digital surveillance in history. The reason for anti-monopoly is that centralization and democracy cannot have both.

But aside from the clichéd American worries, the issue of digital ethics is worth thinking about. For example, in the nationwide campaign to help the baby fight against the junior three, should Ma Rong and Song Zhe, as "bad guys", enjoy their right to privacy? Does human flesh search and exposure of personal information violate ethics and laws? How are companies with big data, represented by WeChat and Sina Weibo, dealing with this data? What does their handling have to do with each of us? Although compared with the United States as a digital empire, we are only a digital power, but these problems may not be unfounded. Not everyone will wake up one day and become the amnesiac Jason Bourne, with super physical strength that can't be beaten to death, but everyone has the right to make mistakes and the obligation to accept the corresponding punishment. This is what a rational and rule of law society can do. Gives a real sense of security.

The fifth film of "Bourne Bourne", Matt Damon's once-collagen-filled face has begun to crawl into wrinkles. The reasons for the CIA to entangle Bourne are becoming less and less innovative. In the final analysis, chasing and killing the ex is nothing more than "why did you abandon me" and "you know too much". The focus of the entire film is still in the action scenes where we meet without a word. Plus, the soundtrack can be used as running music, so you can imagine yourself with the lonely, indifferent face of Jason Bourne while you run.

    Simple and rude, from the beginning to the end, chasing, beating, killing the end, Matt Damon claims to have only 20 lines, there are no counts, but it is almost the same... Efforts are made to keep up with current events, Snowden, surveillance, but with other There is no difference in the film "CIA has great powers to engage in conspiracy", and the story has little meaning. The most important thing is to master "accurately hijack the best performing one when carjacking"! The chase scene is really cool

    This film needs a serious screenwriter. Now the role of Byrne is useless, and the plot is useless. Fortunately, the director still maintains a level of self-repetition.
