Manchurian Candidate was the first film to explore this theme, but what you need to realize is that it is not fiction. Robert Ludlum was former CIA. He got the idea for the Bourne books from his work with the agency. Bourne is an assassin personality that can be "called up" on command if you know the right code words.

Total recall is actually the commercial for the "recall" company. The implanted memory starts when the movie starts. In fact I think that the Arnold look is part of the package because the line "what's the same about all of your vacations? You" So his body and wife and life are all part of the implanted memory. We never see the real Quaid because it would be the same for everyone that signs up.

They explain those two points in the series. They try to kill him because 1. He failed 2. He hasn’t made contact in two weeks so they think he turned 3. The African guy Bourne is tasked to kill goes to the press about an assassination attempt 4. They think he possibly turned. As far as Jason Bourne being the best is addressed in Ultimatum and the Jeremy Renner one. His genetics best adapted to the training program and so he became the base model for the next evolution of the program.

Also, we see parts of his personnel file. He is a Captain in Special Forces prior to Treadstone. So he technically could have been Delta Force , but he definitely had the time to get good and then be chemically enhanced to be better than humanly possible.
@Mogthrasir1989 Жыл бұрын
1) Why does he have these abilities? The Treadstone techniques attempt to destroy or modify the person's identity and /or personality and overlay it with a more useful one, using techniques like waterboarding and sleep deprivation. After the personality is a "blank slate", they build the asset back up with intensive training. It is also implied that Bourne/Webb was a 'proof of concept', and so they were very careful and thorough with him. His recruitment was also (at least in the book) a kind of 'perfect storm', he is constantly referred to as either one of their best assets, or the best asset they have. In that way, he is exactly like John Wick. 2) Why would they hunt him down? Because the aforementioned conditioning and training makes him *extremely* disciplined, controllable, and predictable for his handlers, the idea that he is doing things "off the plan" and not checking in is enough for them to push the panic button ("Assistant: Why did he leave the gun?!? Is it some sort of message? Conklin: I DON'T KNOW.") At one point one of them basically says they have lost control of a multi-million -dollar weapon. As to why this happened, his near-death experience in the sea was probably a reverse-waterboarding; it wiped the slate clean again. And when you starting finding out about yourself in the third person, and find out you killed people for a living, it throws you for a loop. Soyes, there is a reason he's like that. And, yes, there is a reason they want him taken out.

We know Bourne's past is forreal because a government investigation into his past reveals all of it to be true. His past as a member of Delta Force would explain his skill level even if his Treadstone training wasn't shown. Nicky, his ex-girlfriend, also confirms his past to be true, and by the time of the fourth movie, we no longer have any reason to believe any of Bourne's memories are false, as even flashbacks of his father's murder are truthful.

@@palehorse24681 well if it is an implanted memory it doesn't matter what we see happening in the other movies, because it would just be further explained as a continuation of the implanted memory. Nothing you see is outside of bournes mind, as it would all be a bought and paid for fantasy, and would only end when bourne wakes up, and realizes he isn't Jason Bourne but some joe schmo who paid for a dream of a different life as a vacation. He even explains it as the sequels possibly being that the real person could've gone back and paid for more fantasy memories from the Total Recall Corporation. That is all part of the question with Arnold as well, in that the movie asks if anything going on is real or part of a fantasy inside his head while he has gone into a colma, with the fantasy still playing out. So say someone chooses mars and chooses secret agent mode, then it would be like Arnold's "trip", while maybe someone chooses European/Middle East sight seeing tour with secret fantasy mode, then their "trip" might look like Jason Bourne but none of it happens outside of their head as it's just implanted false memories

Well, since Robert Ludlum wrote the Bourne series back in the 80s way before Total Recall came out of the theaters. You could argue that it was Total Recall that's actually copying the plot of Bourne Identity. There even was a TV mini series back in 1988 starring Richard Chamberlain as Jason Bourne. I've read all the books and watched the TV mini series back in the late 80s. And the original plot was that Bourne a Vietnam veteran was recruited by Treadmill to go deep undercover as an assassin to flush out a dangerous international terrorist assassin named Carlos the Jackal, but in the middle of the mission, he was shot and lost his memory. But the Matt Damon movie versions however took liberties with the plot and retconned the character into a genetically engineered killing machine, so maybe the film producers might have ripped off that idea from somewhere else, like Blade Runner or the Hitman Agent 47 video games.

Recall is the difference. Quaid went to recall and that's when the stuff hit the fan. Bourne's amnesia is trauma induced; first by the ethical dilemma of shooting a kid, then by getting shot and nearly drowning. He begins to recover his memories, not because of some memory vacation, but the harder way through more trauma. Yes, there are similarities between the two plots, mostly because the Bourne Identity is the kind of spy thriller story that Recall was selling to its clients. That's it. Most importantly, the Bourne Identity is based off a series of spy thriller books with no twist involved. But nice try. I agree with you on Fight Club, but this theory's all wet.
@ericpeterson8732 Жыл бұрын
Finished the video. Yeah, the story beats are quite similar. Perhaps Total Recall writers read the Bourne Identity book and were influenced by it. And the reason they didn't get sued was because they added the Phillip Dick elements. The original short story was mostly about implanted memories, not amnesia. Total Recall went through 16 revisions before it finally got finished. The writers were fans of Robert Ludlum and based the spy story off of Bourne. It's about adaptation. That's all. Bourne is closer to the book and Total Recall is loosely based on We Can Remember It for You Wholesale.
@DrKrapulaxАй бұрын
It's a fun theory but in Total Recall we see things happen to the protagonist when he's unconscious that he of course doesn't perceive or remember, which makes no sense if all of it was just a memory implant, so either what happens is real and he's really a secret agent, or the director has made some huge mistakes.

The similarities are interesting, but I think there's an in-universe reason why Treadstone wants to put down Jason Bourne. It's been a while since I watched it, so bear with me. I assume Treadstone thinks he's dead after he fails to kill his target and doesn't return. When he does turn up again, they would assume he's gone rogue since he didn't kill the target. I suppose they would be right on that. They don't know about his amnesia, so they would think he might compromise the entire Treadstone program. So, Jason is a loose end they need to tie up.

The scene on Mars when the representive of Rekall shows up has some intresting implications though - why would they put *THAT* in a false memory they are selling?
