I just finished watching a couple of the Bourne movies and I always enjoy a good fantasy break from reality once in a while. But as I watched it again, I began to notice more and more plot holes to everything and it became a game to me as I watched and noticed how in so many instances, Jason Bourne just wanders around in public with no masks or facial changes, yet in the background, they keep showing these sophisticated control stations by the CIA/FBI/Secret agencies that can monitor and scan literally anything and everything all at once. I know its movie magic but the film at one extreme leads us to believe that they can monitor everything … yet on the other hand, their key suspect is able to just wander around in public without anyone seeing him.
So I thought to myself how it would be hilarious if someone digitally remastered one of the Bourne movies and turned every single character and person that appears into Jason Bourne … even the women, black guys, Middle Eastern people, Asians, big fat people, children, old ladies … main characters, officers, government officials, the president of the United States, waiters, agents, soldiers, background people … make them all Jason Bourne.
It’s not just shaky cam, the sequences straight up don’t necessarily make cohesive physical sense. Like they show hits and moves in orders that don’t properly flow into each other
I find it funny that one of the director’s latest movies is the Road House remake, where they used a new technique that lets them show every impact in incredible clarity. Feels like he really took the shaky cam criticism to heart.
New Road House any good?
Yeah, yeah it is. It’s got Conor McGregor in there as a villain, so you have to be ok with that, but if you are, it’s honestly just a lot of fun. There’s an unhingedness to it all that really tickles me in the right spot.
