After the eyes, before the heartbeat.

Let’s talk about the editing first. This is the one that impressed me the most. Several classic and heavy scenes are handled very well, parallel, intersecting, and contrasting a series of dazzling techniques, but they don't feel ostentatious and dizzying. At the same time, they can clearly grasp the development of the plot. , can see the role of every detail of the props ----- this is very rare. There are also many such treatments in Hong Kong films in my memory, but the form is often greater than the content, and there is always a feeling of being confounded.
As for the screenwriter, it's great. It's really not easy to make three films in one movie. Although there are a lot of reasons for actors, directors, capital investment, post-production special effects, etc., but I think the most important thing is the plot. At least, things are not what we imagined, or most of them are not. Although it may deepen Bourne's ability a bit, it is logically feasible, reasonable and unexpected.
It's the music's turn. I've been paying more attention to this recently, so I turned off the sound when watching the film and watched it again. I felt that the effect was really different, especially when there were many moving shots, without the sound, it was like the lack of motivation, and it immediately became less exciting. .
Finally, let's talk about my favorite actor. Matt's performance is as good as ever. No wonder the CIA consultant invited during the filming said that if he was not an actor, he would definitely be an excellent agent! He didn't deliberately act handsome or pose for the camera, but he was really impressed, with a strong sense of presence, calm, tough, but also loving. It is a full and real person, not some kind of character.
