My Thoughts On The Bourne Supremacy
My Overall Thoughts On The Bourne Supremacy.
So today I finally got around to watching The Bourne Supremacy which is a direct sequel from The Bourne Identity. I'm not sure how long of a gap there was from the first movie to the second but it seems it's only been at most a year. Jason Bourne fell off the grid at the end of the first movie and started living a small quite life with the girl he fell in love with. Though he still gets dreams of a mission he did but he can't seem to remember all of it, all the while he is being set up. Back at the agency he worked for they leave his fingerprints at an assassination setup, at the same time the old man from the first film found where Bourne was and sent an assassin.
The man who some sort of higher up in the government was trying to cover all his tracks from Treadstone, but the assassin accidentally kills Bournes girlfriend instead of him. Therefore, the rest of the film is Bourne seeking revenge and trying to understand why he was setup in the first place. The film was actually pretty good in my opinion but the choice of shots was very off putting. There was way more shaky camera in this movie than in the first and for some of the chase sequences, you kind distance yourself from what's happening. You pretty much wait for whatever is happening in the shaky cam to settle down just to see exactly what happened.
The one thing I wanted to point out also is that this movie, actually wasn't really necessary. You understand why Bourne has to go back to his old life but the through line of the story was I guess okay. Everyone involved in Treadstone is dead except Bourne and there's not much else to it. He also gets his memory back of his first assassination which didn't go according to plan and they way that resolves is just whatever. I guess I just didn't feel like the conclusion at the end of the movie didn't justify his motives for coming back. All in all, it's still a good film but in my opinion, not necessary. As always thank you for taking time out of your day to read this topic I discussed.
