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.

[@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.

[@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 ;)

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.

[@jameslamorgese3417]

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

[@1981lowrider]

Best picture of this genre ever.

[@seankelly5890]

This movie is so real and sensational, James Bond uses fast cars, jason borne uses his wits and catches the train, I love the trench fishing village scene in the rain- so realistic!

[@Syberz]

I just realized that in the other movies he's still using Clive Owen's monocular.

[@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...

[@tonymontague6467]

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 🤔

[@PikeyScott]

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

[@Tukadmunggabaliutara]

That was one of my all-time favourite films...Ground breaking style and awesome soundtrack

[@sorencaprasse6332]

Never watched this movie, but this scene makes me want to watch it

[@D1pshit]

Something like mission impossible

[@D1pshit]

Its pretty good

[@Shonufff88]

It's a great movie

[@aritrobiswas4005]

You should no1 best spy movie above mission impossible

[@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.

[@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.

[@taleraneran]

I saw this movie last week ago Was awsome

[@THER3ALDUDE]

This movie is the best

[@paulmeek537]

I remember having this movie on repeat 20yrs ago. Still one of my favorites

[@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.

[@dianelevesque137]

Un très bon film 📽 avec des bons acteurs ❤

[@effsixteenblock50]

Mais certainment!

[@shuriKen469]

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

[@JasondenHollander-qj5hp]

Just like Tom cruises has to run in every movie Jason Bourne has to do that robot/purposeful walk in every movie. Just run man!

SIG SG550-1 Sniper / Superb Swiss made weapon

[@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.

[@jasonloveswatchingmovies7002]

Die Hard, Indiana Jones, John Wick, Jason Bourne, Mission: Impossible and James Bond are my favourite action franchises

[@jared_s2]

did you forget equalizer - or you haven't seen them yet ?

[@AthenaThornton-3b]

Those are my favorites also….all you have to do is throw in an Avengers and it is a perfect movie group..

[@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.

[@infinitegaming2884]

Before Clive was famous.

[@col.hertford9855]

Clive was already famous in the UK for over a decade before this…

[@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.

[@rodaz6480]

Great movie. However no one runs into a shoot out in that environment in a black long coat .

[@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 🤷

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

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..

“Look at what they make you give.”

[@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.
