Watching it again, you can be a genius spy and thief, smart, calm, and agile. His eyes are occasionally melancholy, sometimes affectionate, and sometimes sharp and full of alertness.
Bourne is very poor. Unlike James Bond's extravagant materialism everywhere, Bourne has no high-tech weapons. The escape tool is an electric donkey. The weapons are usually pistols and daily necessities, and use close combat and bunts; he refuses to play tricks. There are no exaggerated shots. Unlike Mission Impossible Ethan Hunt, Bourne has all his goals at the minimum cost. He doesn't enjoy girls and doesn't enjoy life. He is always resisting and constantly fleeing.
Story-oriented stories in line with high-concept movies + time bomb-like countdown timer + high-speed editing from different perspectives, strong visual pressure. But it is also not easy to achieve a balance between high-concept films and low-concept films. While plot-oriented and ups and downs, it also portrays powerful, complex and profound characters.
The story itself has two contradictions:
The first is the post-Snowden era. Is personal privacy more important or national security more important?
The second is that Byrne is a deviated patriot and starts to wonder is this country really worth the sacrifice? Add the details of the real CIA, the origin of the terrorist brainwashing plan, and the story of small people + big conspiracy.
The protagonist is not a tool of power, but a victim of power, which is a different story line from previous spy films.
Byrne focuses on finding the answer to "who am I?", with philosophical significance, "one can never find true peace until you find your true identity".
Byrne was really handsome when he said I am on my own side! !
One of the best spy war dramas out there!
