Settle Down

The translation of "Bourne's Hegemony" seems to be a better translation. What is called supremacy, I think, is the theme of this film.

Of course, the story isn't all that exciting, or even more eye-catching than The Bourne Bourne. The game between an agent with amnesia and a cold-blooded boss is definitely more interesting than the revenge of an agent who washes his hands. However, if I had to rate it, I liked the second one better because it has something deeper, beyond the story itself, beyond the quirkiness, which is reflection.

Maybe Byrne fell in love with Mary, not because he chose Mary's car, of course, I don't want to talk about how to meet you among thousands of people. Perhaps what Mary brought to Bourne was to let him find himself. Whether it was the hesitation of assassinating Neski for the first time, or giving up on Om Posi because of the children around him, we can all feel that this killer is not cold. Perhaps, Mary gave him this kind of warmth, and let him minimize killing and face the coldness of the world with enthusiasm rather than coldness. The meaning of hegemony may mean that when they can kill people, they choose to release them.

Of course, Albert chose to commit suicide despite being released by Byrne. Perhaps, this release brought far more pressure on the agent's heart than killing him directly. Perhaps, such a hegemony, whether it is the scheming Albert or the new supervisor Randy, has to admit Byrne's hegemony. The fugitive that the CIA jointly pursued not only escaped the pursuit several times, but also ensured that no harm was done to others, whether guilty or innocent. Even, in the end, Byrne helped them find the person who should really be responsible. When the gunman chasing Bourne was lying in the cab of the off-road vehicle with blood all over his face, Bourne was finally released. I think such a killer has basically escaped the connotation of the word killer. But at the same time, he brought to each of us an unparalleled and contemptuous aura, which is hegemony.

The last paragraph is so thought-provoking, as Byrne says, everyone wants to know the truth when their loved one is taken away. Perhaps, this is also the reason why Bourne came out again. However, to be able to push themselves and others, face Nesky's daughter's repentance and tell the truth, I am afraid that few agents can do this kind of courage. Perhaps, this is another kind of hegemony.

The last minute was very warm, and Randy might have been an absolutely great agent too, and she finally told Byrne the truth he was looking for: Who am I? However, Bourne's answer, like the first time he didn't snipe Randy, took everyone by surprise. The only difference is that the first time, Byrne was in a trance and missed the opportunity; and the second time, the only thing that Byrne showed was his hegemony and strength.
