Franka Potente is such an underrated German actress. If you haven’t seen it, she was in the really inventive movie Run Lola Run. She’s basically running to save her criminal boyfriend’s life. It’s very creative visually and is another late 90s film.

Yes! Run Lola Run is such a great movie! A must see! As you say, she is constantly running the entire movie, trying to save her boyfriend's life after he messed up while doing a thing for his mob boss. And it has a Groundhog Day feel to it, as she keeps failing, but not giving up, trying again.

(ironically the Star Wars original trilogy were actually huge step down in fight choreography from the better films of the swashbuckling age of Hollywood like the B&W Mark of Zorro) All Lucas did was add a sci fi to those things combined with some great acting talent and a top notch FX team headed by Douglas Trumbull (oh ye and Lucas copied 2001 A Space Odyssey too). George Lucas stood on the shoulders of geniuses to get to Star Wars - he's a hack. WIthout a last minute save in the cutting room even A New Hope would have failed - ESB and TORJ weren't directed by him for good reasons - the studio knew he was problematic.

And as others have said, this came out the same year as the last old-school Bond movie, "Die Another Day", and changed the way Bond (and other) spy-suspense movies were made.

This is such a good movie. For me The Bourne Identity does quick cuts in the action sequences right, as opposed to so many movies that tried to copy it and did it wrong. In this movie the quick cuts are used to enhance the action, and they're done in a way that actually helps you to follow the action and see everything that's happening. It works with the fight choreography, instead of obscuring it. In most movies that rely heavily on quick cuts they make them too quick and they use them to try to make a very run of the mill fight sequence seem more exciting by making it so that you can't really tell what's going on, and you can't see how bad the fight choreography is.

@christhornycroft3686 Жыл бұрын

The problem is that it’s been done to death, like so many action and Marvel movies that overuse CG. Every movie now is made for people who missed their morning Ritalin dose. I really enjoyed this movie when it came out, but I look at it like I look at a lot of movies. Starting in the late 90s, pacing in movies went out of control. When do we ever see James Bond just relaxing and enjoying himself for more than 30 seconds? The camera never sits still either. This was inventive filmmaking at the time, but now it’s not special anymore. It’s been done to death. I look at it like atomic energy. It might have been okay if it was just used as an alternative to electricity, but someone had to go ahead and build a bomb with it. Terminator 2 used CGI perfectly. Now stunt work and practical effects that actually look believable barely exist.

@cincinnatus230 Жыл бұрын

@richardb6260 Жыл бұрын

But it was the Bourne sequels by Paul Greengrass that took the quick cuts too far. Unfortunately, it's the financial success of those films that caused other films to copy that style. So we ended up with ruined action scenes in Batman Begins and Quantum of Solace. The Bourne Identity did it right. The action in The sequels are a jumbled mess. Fortunately, that style seems to have been dialed back these days. Though Michael Bay still annoys audiences with it.

Hey Daniel and Sam, I think you really enter the mindset of Jason Bourne. --------- Bourne wants a regular life as he watches the kids at the lay over house. He just wants to be a regular man not a world class GOD Tier assassin. ------- Clive Owens' dialogue lets us know so much, "They takes so much from us. Look at what they make you give."-------- The price of being a 007 agent is so high for sure.

This movie started the whole quick-cut method of filming action scenes. However, if you look at how they filmed it in this movie every cut serves a purpose to tell the story or to generate a feeling in the audience. You never see the director just cutting for the sake of cutting. Replay the embassy scene as he works his way up the building, each cut telling you soneyhinf about the way he notices little things in a completely chaotic situation while on the run.

In my opinion Legacy is the second best of the franchise after Identity. Instead of staying with Bourne it gives us a different yet parallel perspective. The action is also staged and shot much better than the Greengrass films. It's a shame fans blindly dismissed it based solely on the absence of Matt Damon. Ironically, I suspect those same fans made up the majority of the people complaining about Damon when he was originally cast.

Looking forward to you revieweing the next 2 installments, "Bourne Ultimatum" being my favourite! The next one, "Bourne Supremacy" was largely shot in Berlin, some of my then-classmates participated as extras in crowd scenes, having to wait all night for a few seconds of filming during freezing weather. Actually I watched that movie in the cinema when it came out and the same cinema features in a brief shot in the movie...so that was a weird feeling 🙂. "Run Lola Run" which has been recommended in a lot of comments here already is also a wonderful time machine for me to remember the rough Berlin of the late 90s. Do see it! The unexpected success it had outside of Germany and especially in the USA paved the way for Franka Potente making her way over to Hollywood.

I don't remember if it was the writer or director, but I heard him in an interview once saying that what he tried to do with these movies was make them so that if you removed all the action scenes you would still have a compelling story. That in itself is I think part of what makes the Bourne movies so good. Also, I fully back Run Lola Run, it's fantastic and there's very little dialogue, so it would be easy to react to. Lots of excellent visual storytelling.

Grew up watching loads of action movies with car chases galore but when first watching this I thought it had one of the best car chase sequences I'd seen for a very very long time because it makes you feel like your in the car, Ronin was the other movie with an awesome car chase that stands out above all that came before.

Now quick watch Run Lola Run! It's Franka Potente's star vehicle!! Surprised you don't recognize Chris Cooper. You know, from American Beauty. A great movie!

You have to watch The Great Escape at some point. It's one of my all time favourites with an unbelievable cast and music score.

Unquestionably one of the best spy franchises. Jason Bourne was my ideal spy character. Because he was so flawed, relatable and stoic. Definite Inspiration on The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) and Jackie Chan's Who Am I? (1998). The novel series by Robert Ludlum debuted in the year I was born (1980). I saw the very-first screen adaptation on television with Richard Chamberlain & Jaclyn Smith when I was 8 (1988). Matt Damon getting his own franchise, 5 years after winning an Academy Award was unprecedented. So great from start to finish and more of an tradition approach to the genre. I have the special edition from 2004 with alternate beginning and ending that makes the story more complex. The next 2 films (2004, 2007) are incredible. The 3rd film (2012) with Jeremy Renner is not liked very much. But was a decent enough sequel to me. The 4th film (2016) with Damon's return as Bourne is a phenomenal one. Extreme Ways (The Bourne Theme) by Moby is killer.

I enjoyed the Bourne movies too :) I've seen them many times over the years. One thing that you didn't mention about this movie: not only does Jason not know who he is, he is also an American in Europe. That was done intentionally, to increase his sense of isolation.

The girl actor (Franka Potente) is also great in "Run Lola Run", a German move with sub-titles. She's more the lead in that movie. Film has an interesting premise. Highly recommend. Now TBR, you need to watch a pure rom-com. It's only fair! 😀

it's funny how easy it is to forget Clive Owen is in this when he plays a pretty thematically significant character for the whole trilogy lol. "Look at what they make you give."

At the three minute mark he's speaking Dutch, not Italian. Don't know why they chose to let him speak such an obscure language, as in not many people speak it, but they did it very well. And so did he. So accurate it just makes me laugh every time. Must've had an actual Dutch vocal coach for those few lines.

Speaking of Long Kiss Goodnight, Brian Cox is in that movie too. As a matter of fact, he has played a 3 roles as a supervising trainer to the assassins with amnesia.

Wow, that one caught me off guard. Its the original "shaky cam" movie, as you propably have seen. Furthermore, before Bourne Identity action heroes were often portrayed in very unrealistic fight scenes and loaded with all kinds of gadgets, especially through the eighties and nineties. Bourne was able to ground the genre while still providing engagement for an desensitivesed audience. Complete the whole trilogy, if you can!

I rewatched the trilogy in anticipation of you guys watching this, always a fun time and never gets old no matter how many times I've watched it. Glad Sam enjoyed the first one and is excited to watch the other two! Also, even though I've seen these movies many times, when I rewatched the first one that jump scare in the apartment really startled me lol it's a great jump scare, but also done really well in context of the scene, as is I think the realization of them not being safe at the house at the end - the tension feels so real. I think that's something they do well with these movies, is the tension building and keeping everything feeling grounded. Not only great action movies but great movies in general that are made exceptionally well. One of the all time classic trilogies in my opinion, on par with other big ones like Back To The Future, Star Wars, LOTR...love the Bourne movies so much and I was like Sam for a while and didn't think I would but they're some of my favorites to rewatch. Can't wait for your reactions to the next too!!

When he's on the fishing boat he isn't speaking the fisher's language (in the part that you're showing here) , he's speaking Dutch. Surprisingly well for a non-native actor, actually. Usually when they have to speak a bit of Dutch, actors will have a thick non-native accent, but this sounds very close to native; I remember being impressed by that when I first saw the movie :)
