David Webb was a soldier and patriot and highly trained. He was 100% into what he was doing as Jason Bourne. It was only one moment that changed him. On the boat in the first movie when he cannot kill his target due to the presence of the children. He then lost his memory due to being shot and going into the ocean. Once he comes out of the water he is a new person.

I see Bourne as one of these gung-ho soldiers in one of the elite military services who saw an opportunity posted on a bulletin board somewhere seeking the best-of-the-best for a top secret assignment that would save American lives and he contacted them and volunteered. He developed issues when he killed the Neskys(?) and then when he was ready to kill the guy on the boat but his son was in his arms and stared at Jason. He aborted the mission and jumped off the boat, The amnesia came from the physical trauma of two bullet wounds in his back and the cold of the water he was in for too long. Not for some psychological trauma.

He drove off the roof backwards and was fully supported by the seat, there was nothing for him to hit his head on. In the other big crash it is less believable but he did wrap himself with the seatbelts which could help prevent your body from becoming a pinball inside the car in a violent crash, his head was against the seat so as long as the force didn't fling him towards the passenger door he was kinda well supported in all other directions. Plus it's an action movie so the unbelievable or unlikely is always possible lol.

Shaky Cam and quick scene changes are there to give you a sense of confusing and/or urgency or peril, so in this movie, it makes a lot of sense. You are supposed to be/feel uneasy all the time, because Bourne is. About his backstory ... I always imagined that he HAD been a soldier in 1 or more battles and had seen other soldiers ... friends ... being killed needlessly and felt he was being constrained (i.e. not being as effective as he could be) when in that setting and wanted to do more, so he asked to be sent to a "special project" where he could and was then directed to Treadstone. That's very similar to what you had imagined, but a slightly different way/path of getting there.

He was fully trained and working for Treadstone, his mission was to assassinate a guy on a yacht, so he snuck onto the yacht, then snuck into the guy's bedroom, but he was there with two small children. Jason couldn't kill the dad and 2 kids, and he couldn't kill the dad in front of the kids, so he backed off and tried to get away. As he was escaping, he got shot in the back a couple times, fell in the ocean, almost died, and then the movie started.

Good reaction. A few points: the "shaky cam" - is not as bad as you perceive, when you take into account this was filmed for the big screen, i.e. a screen 40 feet across. In that case or even on a 60" HDTV, your eye/brain focus is different than on a teensy computer screen. When you are in a car over a bumpy road, your head bobs around as much as or more than the shaky cam, but your eyes and brain smooth it out. Same occurs with a big screen. But on a small one close up, not so much. Next point, Jason does get injured, but his training is to ignore the pain and push on, in addition to anticipating the physics of fights and crashes and protect himself accordingly. Finally he smashed the cars by going into reverse, because head on may kill the engine and then he'd be screwed - again anticipating the physics of combat ahead of time....

Jason volunteered to become an agent out of a sense of duty and patriotism because of his father. However, when he discovered that the agents were going through a mind-control program, making them robots for a black on black kill squad, he resisted the training. It wasn't just training, which would have allowed the agents to think for themselves and make decisions, based on ethical and moral grounds. It was a programming scheme to create agents who would kill anyone anywhere, on demand for any reason, with no agency accountability or congressional knowledge/ approval. This is why Jason was told in the last movie that he was a 6 million dollar, malfunctioning weapon. The training worked with all other agents, but Bourne was an anomaly. His decency overcame the mental brainwashing and he is now out to discover and destroy those who created this program.

29:00 "Bourne should be more damaged after all that." Maybe not. The two biggest impacts were the rear of the car. Physics of those collisions would pushi the back of his body and head into the seat cushions. His face would be fine. That third collision where it spun him around in a circle might have thrown him into the driver's door and window - that would have done real damage. But. Look at 28:38 when he leans over and wraps the PASSENGER seat belt around his arm - this is to prevent him smashing into the driver's door. Smart guy. Smart filmmaking for anticipating where he might get damaged and showing him preventing that damage.

It is unfortunate that someone has convinced you that the first three are a "contained trilogy". There are three so they are a trilogy. But the lead character survives, so there is no END. #4, LEGACY, with Jeremy Renner is masterfully meshed with ULTIMATUM as the stories are occurring at the same time. Parts of ULTIMATUM have been spliced into LEGACY to make it REAl, with some added ULTIMATUM scenes used to mesh the stories, having at least one character from ULTIMATUM (Glenn) interacting directly with a LEGACY character (Keach) to tie them together. Legacy is a continuation of the intellignece apparatus's quest for improved agents. Legacy was left tantalizing us for a subsequent chapter, but, Renner's accident last winter may have ended our hopes. Don't miss it.

No, they didn't just waterboard Bourne to try to make him accept the spy training program. The movie is alluding to the methods of torture known to produce what is known as "alters" or split personalities. When a mind is shattered during severe torture, these new alternative personalities emerge as a self-preservation mechanism. These alters are like a blank piece of paper that can then be programmed with all sorts of skills and information. Like speaking several languages. This is how "sleepers" or sleeper agents are made. Sleepers can lead a seemingly normal life and spring into action when activated. That's the short version of it. It's much more complex than this. Perhaps the contact with water when he fell in the ocean triggered the amnesia, since the water torture was part of his programming and used to shatter his mind. Often, they are programmed to go into amnesia or even self-terminate, if the knowledge they carry is too sensitive. Like the agent who jumped out of the window in the first film.

Bourne didn't join because of PTSD. These kinds of black programs attract highly motivated and skilled individuals that want to serve the country. These are the kind of people who rarely get PTSD. I knew a man who was an E9/Sergeant Major in the US Army. He did something like 4 tours (most people did one) in Vietnam as a door gunner. When I knew him in the 80's he was in the reserves. The man had all but 4 medal the US gives out at that time, was qualified on everything and a member of the Army rifle team. He almost joined Air America (CIA run airlines in Cambodia) back in the Vietnam era. They were going to give him a $35K sign on bonus. Looking back at it he said he must have been Fning crazy to even consider it. 25 years in the military and 4 years in combat, he never developed PTSD.

Well, I think I know what Australian Western you could be viewing... and I will be here for it, or any other Australian western. They are all good. One of the minor interesting points about these films is their call backs to the books. They are almost nothing like the books at all, but they insist on including scenes which are a reference to facts in the original novels, without having anything to actually do with the connection. For instance. In the original book, Bourne has a wife and 2 children who have been murdered, and sort of help serve as an incentive for his beginnings. This is reflected in the original movie, when Marie and Jason go to the house of the man with a little boy and girl, and Marie discovers Jason, in the middle of the night, standing watch over the sleeping children, in their bedroom, just staring at them. There are other bits and pieces, thrown in to the movies. A restaurant which plays a key moment in the book, a secret rendezvous, appears in the movie as just a building Bourne walks past. Little things from the books show up, for no reason, here and there throughout. But the overall stories have absolutely nothing to do with each other - except for the name, Jason Bourne. Robert Ludlum wrote many tense thrillers, a personal favorite is The Osterman Weekend, but the Bourne books, to me, all suffered from not enough editing. They are somewhat dry and confusingly convoluted. Plus, Jason Bourne of the novels is not necessarily a good guy at all. They have done an excellent job with these films. Great casting, locations, and stars, throughout. I'll see you next week!

I only recently discovered your reaction videos, and I've enjoyed all of them that I've watched, so far. I'll be watching more! This movie was not the final chapter of a trilogy. Check out "Jason Bourne" (2016) co-starring Alicia Vikander. Julia Stiles returns as Nicky, too. And I think you've mentioned the "Bourne Legacy" starring Jeremy Renner and Scott Glenn in one of your prior reviews, that is a different but related story. There is also a "Bourne Identity" TV mini-series from 1988 starring Richard Chamberlain as Jason Bourne. I enjoyed it, you might, too. The action is less intense, but there's more intrigue. Another Albert Finney movie you might enjoy is "Looker" (1981) featuring James Coburn and Susan Dey. This one's a sci-fi thriller about corporate greed, lost time, identity theft, and murder. It has a cool sound track, and it predicts recent AI imaging and voice advancements. From your description at the end of this review, I might recognize the next Friday movie. If it was released in 1982 and the love interest is played by an actress named Sigrid, this is a fantastic movie. The sequel doesn't live up to it, though.

Great reaction. Number 4 is ok…not as good as this trilogy but fun. I may be biased since if I recall right, part was filmed in Manila, Philippines.

If you seen them all Madison you might wanna see the Bourne Legacy with a different cast and still has some intense moments. I know it's hard to wrap your head around the camera that is never still heck I seen it in a theater and I was always wondering if I'm about to walk out. But I paid to watch it 😅

It’s interesting watching a writer develop a backstory for Bourne and how it is influenced by the current time. Originally the Bourne story was from the Cold War, but the movies were post Cold War, Post 911. Interpretation mirrored those time periods. My take was always that after 911 he fell into the same desire to defend his country that so many did in real life. A soldier who wanted to do more. And like those real life patriots he was misused for nefarious ends by the same scumbags that have been pulling the levers of power since… well… forever. That was my interpretation at the time because that’s what was happening. Your interpretation seems to be of our current timeline. Seems to come from the perspective of disillusionment that exists now with what happened in the 20 years of wars that were justified by 911. I’d love to see what the interpretation is 20 years from now as the current world situation devolves again.

The program(s) are somewhat explained in the next film, The Borne Legacy, good but not to the trilogy standards. How David Webb came to the program is shown in #5 Jason Bourne which is OK at best.

its been fun watching the bourne trilogy with you. jason bourne 1, 2 and 3 had some of the best story, awesome fight choreography, and great driving action. i liked the 4th bourne movie w/ jeremy. it tied into the original bourne story too. didnt care for the 5th bourne though.
