After an entire episode of The Bourne 1, the protagonist Byrne and his girlfriend Mary are living in seclusion in a remote seaside town in India. In the first episode, Byrne was seriously injured and forgot his identity and life experience. Today's Byrne still doesn't remember who he is, but he knows that he is an unfortunate person. And things will be hurt, so in the second episode, in order to protect his lover and himself, Byrne chooses to forget the past and start a new life. When our life has undergone great changes, the phoenix is ​​nirvana, and a new life is what everyone wants to choose, but letting go of the past and forgetting the past is not something everyone can do. With great doubts and curiosity about his own life, Byrne summoned the courage to put it aside. This is his future plan after weighing the pros and cons. He uses reason to think about how he should live, instead of letting his emotions and resentments control himself. If a person does not even have a rational judgment and decision on what to do next, what expectations can there be in the future?

Byrne intends to let him go, but some people are unwilling to let him go. One day, a killer from a mysterious organization came to the town and broke the tranquility of the world of Bourne and Mary. The killer mistook Mary who was driving for Bourne, shot him dead, and Mary died in Bourne's place. The only person he cherished died in front of him, and the hatred and incomprehension in Byrne’s heart were ignited again. He kissed his lover for the last time with reluctance and pain. On the same day, he packed up his luggage, weapons, passports, money and other necessary supplies. Pictures of him and Mary, and beyond that, he burned everything he couldn't take with him, because he knew his whereabouts had been revealed, so he couldn't leave any clues. Byrne is ruthless. When his former lover died, he left only one photo for himself, but at the same time, Byrne is also very clear about his goals and directions. The dead have passed away, he should take revenge and find out the reason, otherwise The one who died in vain was him. Act now, leave nothing behind, and don't miss a moment.

Byrne is a special agent, his prudence is sharp, his preparation, his high concentration is admirable, for example, Byrne always takes down any fragments of memories or dreams, carries a knife, double-checks the plan before acting, calm Calmly escaped the scene and dealt with the crisis... Bourne was also injured when he missed a hand. On the way to be chased by the killer, Bourne was hit in the calf and shoulder. He couldn't escape quickly without a car, so Bourne decided to solve it first. own wounds and find a car. He approached a supermarket calmly and took a bottle of spirits and a few pairs of socks. Surrounded by the police who wanted him, they wanted to arrest Bourne, because in public, if the gun was used, it would cause panic among the people, and the other party was a policeman, and attacking the police would smear himself, so Bourne took a sip of spirits to the policeman. He squirted away his eyes, buying himself time to escape. In such an urgent situation, in order not to expose himself and reduce his attention, asking ordinary people to borrow a car on the side of the road is also a friendly discussion, and on the way to flee by car, Byrne washed the wound with spirits and then bandaged it with socks. The whole process is smooth and steady, what can we learn from it? We are not secret agents, but in our daily life and work, anticipating the development of things, being prepared for opportunities at any time, and doing things with caution and low-keyness can indeed make our lives more efficient and reduce unnecessary mistakes and troubles. . Isn't excellent and correct personal management just to allow a person to create infinite possibilities in limited time and space and calmly deal with complex unknowns?

Bourne in "The Bourne 2" still can't remember the past, but he retrieves the memory fragments of his first agent while on the road of revenge. Byrne remembered that his first action was to assassinate a government official, but the situation changed. The wife of the government official suddenly appeared, and Byrne had to kill both of them, and created a scene where the wife killed her husband and committed suicide. Today's Byrne is no longer the very cold-blooded Byrne who was controlled by drugs before. He recalled the once happy government officials, his wife and their daughter in the photo. Byrne felt very ashamed and regretted, so he took the initiative to find someone who was still alive. At the daughter's home, apologize to the girl and tell her the truth, unraveling the shadow of her mother killing her father and committing suicide in the girl's heart. There is also a scene in the movie that left a deep impression on me. After Byrne found the culprit, he hated it very much. He gritted his teeth and pressed for the truth. When he was about to kill the culprit with one shot, he thought of what Mary once said, "When is the time for revenge?" As well as his original idea of ​​"don't care about the past and live anew", he understood what he wanted. What he wanted was not endless hatred. revenge. When Byrne was sure that the culprits would be punished, he put down the gun, let go of his hatred, and walked away dashingly.

I think the reason why people are human is that people have hearts and brains. People who are too rational or too emotional are pathological and extreme and cannot live well. If personal management was for a better life, Byrne did it. He can handle crises rationally, face hatred, and also from an emotional point of view, apologize for his past mistakes, stop losses in time, and transform into a truly capable and flesh-and-blood person. And we, for a better life and shaping ourselves, should be like Bourne in "The Bourne 2", microscopically down-to-earth, doing everything calmly and prudently, and taking every step well; macroscopically , through constant rational and emotional switching to understand yourself, understand what you want, and make plans for the future.

At the end of the movie, only Bourne is left alone in the lights of thousands of homes. Is he sad? What he gained and what he lost, he came and went alone, walking alone... But Byrne knew his real name was David Weber, figured out the truth of the conspiracy, avenged his lover and his past. Leave a confession... Rather than saying that "Bourne Bourne 2" is Bourne's road to revenge and puzzlement, I think it tells about Bourne's journey of recognizing himself, facing himself, forgiving himself, and redeeming himself.
