His name is Bourne, Jason Bourne. He has the same initials as the famous British agent and American Jack Bauer (24 hours straight). Like Bond and Bauer, a hero imagined by Robert Ludlum in the ’80s, Bourne is a war machine created by his government. Feature? He suffers from memory loss after a task gone wrong. In this third episode, the former CIA agent tries to discover his identity and unmask the secret organization that manipulated him…
More realistic than James Bond
“Bourne is anti-Bond!” “, begs Matt Damon. 007 is confident, macho, and unapologetic, while Bourne is nuanced and tortured. He can kill, but feels guilty afterwards. No tools in fights, he takes out his enemies with makeshift weapons: pens, folded magazines, slices of books. Bespoke tuxedo or No Aston Martins, Jason wears H&M T-Shirts, Levis 501s and drives an Austin Mini…
Almost an ordinary man.
In 2002, after the box of The Memory in the skin ($214 million worldwide), the producers of Bond decided to reconsider everything. For Casino Royale in 2006: new actor Daniel Craig, less cheats and un-simulated fights. And among the technicians we found the same thing as Bourne. The world is small !
Action, more action, always action!
Matt Damon trained for hand-to-hand combat and stunts for six months for each shot: daily boxing lessons, kali (Philippine martial art) practice and weapon handling training.
A realistic staging of a documentary
A journalist before becoming a filmmaker, Paul Greengrass applies documentary filmmaking techniques to his blockbuster films from Bloody Sunday to Volume 93. “The camera never predicts what’s going to happen, it adapts,” says Matt Damon. He prefers realism to special effects. Greengrass, the director of the second and third parts of the saga, does not hesitate to run after Matt Damon with a camera on his shoulder or to film the event by placing a camera on the ground to immerse the audience in the heart of the action. being hit by a car in a tunnel, even if it is run over. But not tape, in a safe compartment!
Very knowledgeable writers
For a long time, writer Robert Ludlum was suspected of having a connection within the CIA, so his descriptions of The Agency’s workings were so realistic. Paul Greengrass has also infiltrated behind the scenes of espionage. In 1987 he co-authored with Peter Wright (former deputy director of British services) Spycatcher, a detailed account of the life of a former intelligence agent.
ordinary women
When James Bond can’t pull himself together as soon as he meets a beautiful woman, Bourne is devoted, monogamous and wants to avenge the death of his girlfriend, Marie (Franka Potente).
