The Bourne Identity | Bourne vs. Sniper

[@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]

When I looked there were 5 movies?

[@JUNIOR-hv9sq]

The bourne franchise is one of the best espionage action films in hollywood.

[@borovice1731]

The landcape was strangely familiar to me. Then I found out that this part was filmed around Trojanuv mlyn - near Prague. And I walk my dog there. Next time I will look for Bourne hidden behind the trees. And maybe listen to John Powell to increase atmosphere ;)

[@BlaneNostalgia]

"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.

[@MrArios87]

I saw this in the theater when it came out. I was 15. Great trilogy!

[@johannesbrahms9528]

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

[@BlaneNostalgia]

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.

Read the trilogy when I was unemployed a long time ago, the films are excellent but the books are a lot better

[@bentot45]

Yup, as always, the pocket books are better. 😸👍

[@emd1178]

Sounds like you were funemployed

[@PerryHowell-h9v]

A LOT better. The first one was one of Ludlums best.

[@martingrey2231]

Books are always better. That goes for Star Wars and Lovecraft especially 🤔

[@mike18699-e]

I tried to read one of the books but didn't get very far. I like economical writing, and I found Ludlum's the opposite - just terribly overwrought. I didn't have the patience for it, but it's personal preference.

I love Jason Bourne films. I'll watch it all day if I have to. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 fantastic. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😎😎👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😉

[@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?

[@stephensugay7964]

Classic. Great action and filmmaking.

[@TristanLane520]

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.

[@THER3ALDUDE]

This movie is the best

This always makes me want to re-watch Run Lola Run.

[@Shonufff88]

It's a great movie

[@aritrobiswas4005]

[@Anthony-jo7up]

The Bourne Identity is very special. It kicked off the whole realistic action movie genre that is now used by the Bond and John Wick series. It is an excellent movie with a great soundtrack, too.

[@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.

[@taleraneran]

I saw this movie last week ago Was awsome

Clive Warren would've gotten his own spinoff if a certain Mr. Dilkington was asked to write the script.

What was the point of the tube over the barrel? A holywood 'silencer' needs to go at the end to 'catch the sound' metal around a barrel is just to stop the user burning their fingers.

Can anyone explain to me the correlation between the gunshot and the birds that makes the professor make a move in the field?

[@bretfisher7286]

A diversion.

[@garykeenan9897]

When the birds come back down to land they will all avoid the area where the guy is. That gives Jason a general area to focus on

[@marcuslindahl3541]

Question is, why does he remove the suppressor? Makes no sense.

[@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. I'm guessing it's to make it easier to carry while running .. which wouldn't make much sense. And I don't know of any kind of scope or suppressor that can be just pulled off.

[@rickardlagrelius5555]

I seriously doubt he would puncture that oil tank with a shotgun from that distance.

[@theforbiddenone2926]

Its not a videogame bud. IRL shotguns should be able to do that, maybe needing buckshot

[@rickardlagrelius5555]

@ yes but i, as a hunter and shotgun owner, know how much and how quick the shotgun shells looses momentum. I would never shoot at an animal that is further away than 20 metres. It would have been different if he had had an ordinary 308 rifle.

[@PikeyScott]

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.

[@NonoZebedy]

What Alele Museum fan wrote here is like in English Grammers for the word 'Metaphors'. (Once again: Hi Alele Marines!)

[@ultimatblackgod]

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.

[@ultimatblackgod]

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

[@NOSTALGIC_NUMPTY]

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.

[@ultimatblackgod]

@@NOSTALGIC_NUMPTY I don't think waiting in an open field without cover is smart. But, hey, I'm not a super trained assassin 🤷

Why didn't Clive Owen stay on the ground??

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..

[@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.

People like you ruin movies for yourself. Your ocd ways of watching movies will make none of it seem " real " because it's a f"cking movie. What's even worse is that this scene is so brief and hardly anything about this film is about special effects or puts any emphasis on it. It's the same as these idiots that watch movies and think we all care what why what happens isn't realistic. You nerds miss the entire reason, people just wanna switch their brains off after work or not have to think.
