    Don’t know if you caught the callback to the 1st movie when Bourne says “Look at what they make you give” to the assassin on the roof top, which was the same line spoken by Clive Owens’s character before he died in the first film. Great reaction. 👍😎

    This is not the last movie and it doesn't end here. Just know that The Bourne Legacy is simultanious with Ultimatum. Yep, they both happen at the exact time. The last one is Jason Bourne.

    David Webb was a soldier and patriot and highly trained. He was 100% into what he was doing as Jason Bourne. It was only one moment that changed him. On the boat in the first movie when he cannot kill his target due to the presence of the children. He then lost his memory due to being shot and going into the ocean. Once he comes out of the water he is a new person.

  • @TD-mg6cd
    @TD-mg6cd 5 місяців тому +14

    The UNDER DURESS response is for when someone is forcing you to say what they want. Nicky wasn't saying that everything was normal. She was saying that she was speaking freely and so they could have a frank conversation.

    In the first movie, he's in the water because he was shot in the back as he decided not to kill his target because of children nearby, fell off his targets yacht, lost his memory because of it.

    Although a lot will likely disagree, I think #4 The Bourne Legacy is worth your time. Renner and Weisz do a good job with the story. Pitt stayed away because they changed directors but it is still a good movie.

    • @kevind4850
      @kevind4850 5 місяців тому +6

      I agree. The #5 is also worth the watch (not quite as good as the others, but still moves the story and characters along, though it does leave us hanging and hoping for a #6)

    • @kurtfrancis4621

      Nice reaction Madison but you're Not done with Jason yet. You have to see 2016's "Jason Bourne" to get his Full backstory And the "Bourne Legacy" with Jeremy Renner happens around the events of Ultimatum so it's definitely worth a watch.

    Hi Madison,
    Joan Allen (Pam) is a supporting actress in another excellent movie called, Pleasantville. It's so thoroughly enjoyable, I love it. She's an amazing actress and is so totally different than who she plays here.
    -Tom From Australia, hmmmm. Could it be The Man From Snowy River or Quigley Down Under? I bet it's Quigley. You'll like it. Me too.

    An Australian themed movie, much like an American western family saga, is "THE SUNDOWNERS" (1960) w/Robert Mitchum & Deborah Kerr. I watch it once a year, it has that large hearted spirit that is missing from contemporary films. You'd love it!

    In ALL of the Bourne movies, there ia always a car chase but , unlike Bond, Bourne drives nothing like an expensive or trick, A Mini Cooper, A Taxi, now a cop car! I LOVE the fact that he drives an everyday type of car that he still does amazing things with! A great movie feat!

    I always love your reactions, so thank you for reacting to the Bourne trilogy. As had been mentioned, the final (???) Bourne movie with Matt Damon will give you the last pieces to the puzzle of why David Webb joined in the first place. BTW, the Bourne Legacy is very much worth your time (as had been mentioned). It is very intense and takes place at the same time that The Bourne Ultimatum took place.

    The shaky handheld cam is a trademark of the director, Paul Greengrass. He took over Supremacy and Ultimatum and both were criticized on release for being hard to follow. One excellent use of the style is Bloody Sunday, about the time British Police attacked Irish protestors in 1972.

  • @jthomann71
    @jthomann71 5 місяців тому +1

    Honestly, the 4th installment is actually pretty good. Bourne Legacy is very different but also good. And there's one season of a Bourne-adjacent show called Treadstone which I enjoyed, too.

  • @hellomynameis
    @hellomynameis 5 місяців тому

    Madison, to answer your question about how Bourne ended up in the water at the beginning of "The Bourne Identity." ... Bourne was on assignment on his target's yacht in the Mediterranean. Bourne "failed" his assignment and subsequently was shot by his target's bodyguard(s) and fell into the sea.

    @TD-mg6cd 5 місяців тому +2

    It is unfortunate that someone has convinced you that the first three are a "contained trilogy". There are three so they are a trilogy. But the lead character survives, so there is no END. #4, LEGACY, with Jeremy Renner is masterfully meshed with ULTIMATUM as the stories are occurring at the same time. Parts of ULTIMATUM have been spliced into LEGACY to make it REAl, with some added ULTIMATUM scenes used to mesh the stories, having at least one character from ULTIMATUM (Glenn) interacting directly with a LEGACY character (Keach) to tie them together. Legacy is a continuation of the intellignece apparatus's quest for improved agents. Legacy was left tantalizing us for a subsequent chapter, but, Renner's accident last winter may have ended our hopes. Don't miss it.

  • @andreshernandez1180
    @andreshernandez1180 5 місяців тому +2

    The Bourne Legacy is basically a spin-off, Jeremy Renner plays another asset from one of these programs, but the last one called Jason Bourne gives us more information on Bourne's background.

  • @denveradams4909
    @denveradams4909 5 місяців тому +1

    Jason volunteered to become an agent out of a sense of duty and patriotism because of his father. However, when he discovered that the agents were going through a mind-control program, making them robots for a black on black kill squad, he resisted the training. It wasn't just training, which would have allowed the agents to think for themselves and make decisions, based on ethical and moral grounds. It was a programming scheme to create agents who would kill anyone anywhere, on demand for any reason, with no agency accountability or congressional knowledge/ approval. This is why Jason was told in the last movie that he was a 6 million dollar, malfunctioning weapon. The training worked with all other agents, but Bourne was an anomaly. His decency overcame the mental brainwashing and he is now out to discover and destroy those who created this program.

  • @erich7558
    @erich7558 5 місяців тому +1

    I see Bourne as one of these gung-ho soldiers in one of the elite military services who saw an opportunity posted on a bulletin board somewhere seeking the best-of-the-best for a top secret assignment that would save American lives and he contacted them and volunteered. He developed issues when he killed the Neskys(?) and then when he was ready to kill the guy on the boat but his son was in his arms and stared at Jason. He aborted the mission and jumped off the boat, The amnesia came from the physical trauma of two bullet wounds in his back and the cold of the water he was in for too long. Not for some psychological trauma.

    • @spencerbookman2523
      @spencerbookman2523 5 місяців тому

      IMHO, pass on Jason Bourne, but I definitely second the recommendation for Legacy: it's a continuation of the story (without Bourne, but taking a new angle on it), there's very little or no shaky-cam, and a bunch of actors reprise their roles (they don't replace actors playing minor characters willy-nilly, like the trilogy did).

  • @julioarriero4652

    At the end, when the other Treadstone assassin has Jason in his sights and Jason says "Look at us, look at what they make you give," that's a callback to the first movie. It's what Treadstone assassin Clive Owen says to Jason before dying

  • @blakewalker84120
    @blakewalker84120 5 місяців тому

    2:45 "I can't remember how he ended up in the water with amnesia in the first movie."
    LOL, why not? You watched it just 2 years ago.. :)
    No, it wasn't because he refused to join.
    He was fully trained and working for Treadstone, his mission was to assassinate a guy on a yacht, so he snuck onto the yacht, then snuck into the guy's bedroom, but he was there with two small children.
    Jason couldn't kill the dad and 2 kids, and he couldn't kill the dad in front of the kids, so he backed off and tried to get away.
    As he was escaping, he got shot in the back a couple times, fell in the ocean, almost died, and then the movie started.

    24:41 No, Landy had to tell Bourne the location of the office, but she knew the bad guys would be listening, so she recreated the last conversation she had with Bourne word for word, except she changed the location she gave the first time. That way only Bourne would understand what the real message was.

  • @bigdaddy741098
    @bigdaddy741098 5 місяців тому +1

    He drove off the roof backwards and was fully supported by the seat, there was nothing for him to hit his head on. In the other big crash it is less believable but he did wrap himself with the seatbelts which could help prevent your body from becoming a pinball inside the car in a violent crash, his head was against the seat so as long as the force didn't fling him towards the passenger door he was kinda well supported in all other directions. Plus it's an action movie so the unbelievable or unlikely is always possible lol.

    The “Shaky Cam” directing was made famous by these movies.

  • @CT2507
    @CT2507 День тому

    No, they didn't just waterboard Bourne to try to make him accept the spy training program. The movie is alluding to the methods of torture known to produce what is known as "alters" or split personalities. When a mind is shattered during severe torture, these new alternative personalities emerge as a self-preservation mechanism. These alters are like a blank piece of paper that can then be programmed with all sorts of skills and information. Like speaking several languages. This is how "sleepers" or sleeper agents are made. Sleepers can lead a seemingly normal life and spring into action when activated.
    That's the short version of it. It's much more complex than this.
    Perhaps the contact with water when he fell in the ocean triggered the amnesia, since the water torture was part of his programming and used to shatter his mind. Often, they are programmed to go into amnesia or even self-terminate, if the knowledge they carry is too sensitive. Like the agent who jumped out of the window in the first film.

  • @SirHilaryManfat
    @SirHilaryManfat 5 місяців тому +1

    Great reaction. Agree with you about the shaky cam/fast editing. I love the Bourne Trilogy, but Supremacy (especially) and Ultimatum are very excessive with it. I still rate the first one the best, simply because it doesn't have that excessive editing and shaky cam.

    Hi Madison,
    To get the whole saga of Jason Bourne, you really have to watch the complete Jason Bourne Series, starting with Bourne Identity (where Blackbriar) was mentioned at the very end of the Bourne Identity movie. After ULTIMATUM the next one is Part 4 BOURNE LEGACY with Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weiz. Awesome movie!! This part 4 explains why Jason Bourne & other assassins have the mental and physical prowess displayed in all the fight scenes. Part 5, JASON BOURNE with the lovely, intellectual ALICIA VIKANDER & a portion filmed in Las Vegas were 300+ cars were involved during the car chase at the Las Vegas Strip. Part 5 explained why Jason Bourne volunteered to be an American assassin. Try not to take a break from the JBourne series because you could get lost along the story line. I love watching your simple, natural reaction on these movies. Keep up the good work! BTW when it is time for you to watch some comedy, watch BLAZING SADDLES. A classic in laughter🤣😂😆!!

    This trilogy was so, so, so good. My father is a huge fan of the James Bond movies and after we finished watching Ultimatum he said that he actually likes Jason Bourne more than Bond! It's a shame that the next 2 movies were garbage compared to the trilogy.
    And yes, shaky cam needs to die a fast death.

    Shaky Cam and quick scene changes are there to give you a sense of confusing and/or urgency or peril, so in this movie, it makes a lot of sense. You are supposed to be/feel uneasy all the time, because Bourne is. About his backstory ... I always imagined that he HAD been a soldier in 1 or more battles and had seen other soldiers ... friends ... being killed needlessly and felt he was being constrained (i.e. not being as effective as he could be) when in that setting and wanted to do more, so he asked to be sent to a "special project" where he could and was then directed to Treadstone. That's very similar to what you had imagined, but a slightly different way/path of getting there.

    You learned that from two other movies.
    You have the benefit of being the omniscient audience: you know all the things that reporter could not know.
    Everybody who learned that lesson (listen to Bourne or die) is dead so they couldn't pass on the lesson they learned because, well, they died learning it.

    Glad you followed up with this while things were still fresh in your mind. Films like these and even the John Wick movies where each picks up where the last left off lose something if you wait too long and may not remember where it all was when the previous one ended. Great reaction as usual Madison. Matt Damon trained in a variety of close combat styles for several months and did many of his own stunts. Supposedly there were 6 stunts that the film makers felt were too dangerous and he did have a stunt double. Sounds like the lead in the movie you teased might have a great moustache????? Oh there is a great, great movie I would love to see you react to some time. Amazing story and star studded cast. Steve McQueen, James Garner, Charles Bronson, James Coburn and so many more. The Great Escape. Have a great weekend!

  • @dboss7239
    @dboss7239 5 місяців тому

    Good reaction. A few points: the "shaky cam" - is not as bad as you perceive, when you take into account this was filmed for the big screen, i.e. a screen 40 feet across. In that case or even on a 60" HDTV, your eye/brain focus is different than on a teensy computer screen. When you are in a car over a bumpy road, your head bobs around as much as or more than the shaky cam, but your eyes and brain smooth it out. Same occurs with a big screen. But on a small one close up, not so much. Next point, Jason does get injured, but his training is to ignore the pain and push on, in addition to anticipating the physics of fights and crashes and protect himself accordingly. Finally he smashed the cars by going into reverse, because head on may kill the engine and then he'd be screwed - again anticipating the physics of combat ahead of time....

  • @blakewalker84120
    @blakewalker84120 5 місяців тому

    29:00 "Bourne should be more damaged after all that."
    Maybe not.
    The two biggest impacts were the rear of the car.
    Physics of those collisions would pushi the back of his body and head into the seat cushions.
    His face would be fine.
    That third collision where it spun him around in a circle might have thrown him into the driver's door and window - that would have done real damage.
    But.
    Look at 28:38 when he leans over and wraps the PASSENGER seat belt around his arm - this is to prevent him smashing into the driver's door.
    Smart guy.
    Smart filmmaking for anticipating where he might get damaged and showing him preventing that damage.

    There’s actually another move after this one ,called Jason Bourne it’s quite good , fyi if your going to hit another car that’s chasing you you back into them because if you hit from the front you damage the radiator and the engine will blow up then it is unable to drive.

    Two very good, realistic, spy movies are “Three Days of the Condor” (1975, with Robert Redford, Faye Dunaway, and Max von Sydow) and “The Ipcress File” (1965, with Michael Caine).
    I know you already have your “Australia” movie, which I’m guessing is, or should be, “Breaker Morant” (1980) or “Picnic at Hanging Rock” (1975), but I can’t resist the opportunity to recommend another excellent, little-known Australian movie: “The Earthling,” the great William Holden’s last film.

    I'd say that in the books he comes off as even more impressive a character. One of my favourite book characters ( I judge it by the anxiety to see what happens to a character in the next book rather than how the story goes).

    Both the fourth and fifth movie gives more answers. The fourth is pretty decent, the fifth is the worst of the five.
    I'd say watch them both.

    Super Thanks Madison! You really made my day. I loved this franchise, but there is a fourth movie that is not too bad, also a one off with Jeremy Renner that pretty good also. Thanks again! Your take on why is backwards! The best and the brightest want MORE! I served with Rangers ...to a man they were head and shoulders above regular soldiers! The best want to be challenged!

    Bourne didn't join because of PTSD.
    These kinds of black programs attract highly motivated and skilled individuals that want to serve the country. These are the kind of people who rarely get PTSD.
    I knew a man who was an E9/Sergeant Major in the US Army.
    He did something like 4 tours (most people did one) in Vietnam as a door gunner.
    When I knew him in the 80's he was in the reserves. The man had all but 4 medal the US gives out at that time, was qualified on everything and a member of the Army rifle team.
    He almost joined Air America (CIA run airlines in Cambodia) back in the Vietnam era. They were going to give him a $35K sign on bonus.
    Looking back at it he said he must have been Fning crazy to even consider it.
    25 years in the military and 4 years in combat, he never developed PTSD.

    Well, I think I know what Australian Western you could be viewing... and I will be here for it, or any other Australian western. They are all good.
    One of the minor interesting points about these films is their call backs to the books. They are almost nothing like the books at all, but they insist on including scenes which are a reference to facts in the original novels, without having anything to actually do with the connection.
    For instance. In the original book, Bourne has a wife and 2 children who have been murdered, and sort of help serve as an incentive for his beginnings. This is reflected in the original movie, when Marie and Jason go to the house of the man with a little boy and girl, and Marie discovers Jason, in the middle of the night, standing watch over the sleeping children, in their bedroom, just staring at them. There are other bits and pieces, thrown in to the movies. A restaurant which plays a key moment in the book, a secret rendezvous, appears in the movie as just a building Bourne walks past. Little things from the books show up, for no reason, here and there throughout. But the overall stories have absolutely nothing to do with each other - except for the name, Jason Bourne.
    Robert Ludlum wrote many tense thrillers, a personal favorite is The Osterman Weekend, but the Bourne books, to me, all suffered from not enough editing. They are somewhat dry and confusingly convoluted. Plus, Jason Bourne of the novels is not necessarily a good guy at all.
    They have done an excellent job with these films. Great casting, locations, and stars, throughout.
    I'll see you next week!

    This director is the king of shaky cam. He came from documentaries, but i think he should have dropped this particular technique. Luckily it didn't take away too much from Supremacy and Ultimatum. The same guy did Captain Phillips.

    This is my favorite Bourne film. While I enjoy the story of the first the most and the origin (awakening) storyline, I think this one has the best of Jason’s on-the-fly dodging and evading the CIA hunting him scenes.

    It’s interesting watching a writer develop a backstory for Bourne and how it is influenced by the current time.
    Originally the Bourne story was from the Cold War, but the movies were post Cold War, Post 911. Interpretation mirrored those time periods.
    My take was always that after 911 he fell into the same desire to defend his country that so many did in real life. A soldier who wanted to do more. And like those real life patriots he was misused for nefarious ends by the same scumbags that have been pulling the levers of power since… well… forever. That was my interpretation at the time because that’s what was happening.
    Your interpretation seems to be of our current timeline. Seems to come from the perspective of disillusionment that exists now with what happened in the 20 years of wars that were justified by 911.
    I’d love to see what the interpretation is 20 years from now as the current world situation devolves again.

    I only recently discovered your reaction videos, and I've enjoyed all of them that I've watched, so far. I'll be watching more!
    This movie was not the final chapter of a trilogy. Check out "Jason Bourne" (2016) co-starring Alicia Vikander. Julia Stiles returns as Nicky, too. And I think you've mentioned the "Bourne Legacy" starring Jeremy Renner and Scott Glenn in one of your prior reviews, that is a different but related story.
    There is also a "Bourne Identity" TV mini-series from 1988 starring Richard Chamberlain as Jason Bourne. I enjoyed it, you might, too. The action is less intense, but there's more intrigue.
    Another Albert Finney movie you might enjoy is "Looker" (1981) featuring James Coburn and Susan Dey. This one's a sci-fi thriller about corporate greed, lost time, identity theft, and murder. It has a cool sound track, and it predicts recent AI imaging and voice advancements.
    From your description at the end of this review, I might recognize the next Friday movie. If it was released in 1982 and the love interest is played by an actress named Sigrid, this is a fantastic movie. The sequel doesn't live up to it, though.
