I think the saddest moment in the whole series for me is Clive Owen's character instantly trying to connect and open up as he's dying. A lifetime of conditioning and training just to be a human again in his last moments with likely the only peer he's ever been able to have a normal chat with.

[@swapnilkelshikar7696]

What a fantastic and underrated statement this is. If you are not already sad, this will make you sad.

[@denilucker]

I first saw this scene when I was 11 years old on local tv, I recently watched it again and I,m still amazed. The Bourne, best trilogy I've ever watched

[@VeggiesOutFront]

One of the greatest and most thrilling spy franchises I have ever seen. Matt Damon lived the role as Jason Bourne.

[@swapnilkelshikar7696]

He IS Jason Bourne. There will never be another.

"Look at this, look at what they make you give." Hits hard. If anything the assassin has more of a good guy face . Mostlikely just an unlucky orphan before he became a Treadstone drone. Clive Owen is fantastic in this.

My favorite line in the franchise: "Look at this. Look at what they make you give."

same, it has a lot of layers to it

[@ReaverLordTonus]

It adds sn element of tragedy to ut all. These men answered the call to serve what they thought was the greater good. Gave up their lives, their bodies, even their names, and in the end what are they used for? Treadstone burned through all it's operatives to try and kill one of their own who in turn was used to try and kill someone who was an inconvenience to some bureaucrats' careers.

The bit just before this where he racks the shotgun is one of the most badass moments ever... 😂

[@matthewkuhl79]

It's not a pump-action

[@TristanLane520]

@matthewkuhl79 correct it's not, but he racks it closed. I suppose "snapped" might be a better word to use, as in "snapping it shut", but I tend to envision "snapping" a shotgun as opening the break action, the same way you'd say "breaking" the shotgun, which is why I said "racking it" as closing it. If there's a better word to mean solely the closing of an already broke open shotgun then please let me know.

[@matthewkuhl79]

@TristanLane520 There is no "racking" a single-shot shotgun. Racking moves a round into firing position, but closing the firing mechanism onto the barrel does not.

[@TristanLane520]

@@matthewkuhl79 that sounds like semantics to me...

[@mike18699-e]

Yeah, I'd rather have seen the few minutes leading up to this as well. It's a terrific build-up how the family realise that their dog is missing so it's obvious something's up. Bourne sends them into the basement and then you see him figuring out where to find the shotgun, which has been placed on top of a high cupboard to keep it out of reach of the kids. And while people are praising the line in this clip, "Look at what they make you give," for me that's not the best dialogue in the movie. It's where a panicking Marie says, "We should never have come here, I... these children, if..." and Bourne just says calmly, "That's not gonna happen." And _then_ he goes outside and deals with the threat.

[@jameslamorgese3417]

The noise of the birds canceled out his noise running through the woods

[@mandisingalo9912]

He is very clever, and he knows birds always fly away from danger/commotion.

[@rosalynw.otieno1994]

He also used them to distract the sniper.

[@andrewharris6507]

He can also narrow down where the sniper is, knowing the birds will not land next to him.

[@CyrilSneer123]

Stupid to run out into the field.. He had the high ground and a sniper rifle vs a shotgun. He gave up all his advantages then allowed himself to get trapped in a field where Bourne cunningly uses the birds to expose his position.

[@bernardniiaddo3085]

@CyrilSneer123 yeah u right, that happened cos he was dormant and Bourne was always on the run,practice makes one perfect bro

[@1970sRetro]

Not his fault. It was in the script.

[@bonohyogurt]

I was thinking something similar… could it be that he loses the high ground when Bourne climbs the hill and flanks him?

[@MichaelRhodess]

jason was also trying to escape - even if he had the high ground - he couldn't just let him escape into a dense forest. He would fail his mission.

[@ravicharles5192]

Bourne Identity directed by Doug Liman ; second installment Bourne supremacy by Paul Greengrass set the tone for intense hand to hand combat scenes. Matt Damon quite athletic fit the role perfectly. The third installment Bourne Ulimatum and fourth Jason Bourne both by Paul Greengrass - good in content - tired our eyes with shaky camera and quick cuts.

[@sibanought]

​@@marcuslindahl3541you can see when he's in the field later that he's also removed the scope - which makes even less sense, since the rifle doesn't have hard sights.

Check out Clive Owen in “BMW Films”. His best-ever work. For car commercials. And no, that’s not sarcasm. “Star” is my favorite with “Follow” as a close second.

[@mike18699-e]

I first remember Clive Owen getting a lot of attention for Croupier, which is a movie that predates The Bourne Identity by about four years. Honestly I've never really rated him as an actor. He's ok in this, but then it's a small part. The only performance of his that I really like - in fact, I think he's superbly cast in it - is as Theo in Children of Men.

after the birds were disturbed by the gunshot, they will resettle down and they will instinctively avoid the human figure even if he was lying flat. Then he would be effectively pointed out to Bourne roughly where he was located..

I didnt see the movie but i see lots of comments saying its an epic scene ... A sniper going from a high ground with scope and silencer to running, for no reason, in an open field with a handgun ...Well sorry but it's dumb. ^^

[@presleypatterson9834]

Once the birds got scared after bourne shot the shotgun in the air, they would relocate away from the human being when they settled. It would point out where the assassin would be.

@@presleypatterson9834 We all know Bourne is smart. But this scene just point how dumb the assassin is.

Bourne knows his location, regardless if he has high ground or not. The sniper is trying to predict Bourne's path to flank his high ground position and thus ends up waiting in the field.

[@MM-vs2et]

"Look at what they make you give" is such a idiomatic sentence, but not in English. A more English-friendly way to rephrase that sentence would be "Look at what they made you do", or something less elegant, "Look at what they made you capable of". It doesn't quite make full sense to an English speaker. Probably because the Professor has spoken, and has been speaking many languages up to that point, like all Treadstone agents, it's like melding. Who knows what language that sentence makes the most sense in, but it's intentionally not in English, and it's fascinating.
