The Jason Bourne films were fast-editing driven adult action. The character was an emotional blank slate infused with innate combat and spycraft knowledge, perfect for the audience to self-insert into for a power fantasy. What really drove that movie wasn't the character, but the snappy action editing.
- Andrew_nenakhov 4y agoBourne movie is responsible for a decade of shaking cam misery. Only very rare cinematographers got it right, like in "District 9", for the most part it was just chaotic incomprehensible mess.
- larrydag 4y agoAgree and the second film was most egregious.
- germinalphrase 4y agoThat is kind of Paul Greengrass’ thing. He carried it over directly from “Bloody Sunday” (which is pretty good!) which is why the second Bourne film is so visually distinct from the first. He keeps things more legible than most who try, but yea… I’m glad that style has mostly died out.
