Jason
This film starring Matt Damon isn't far from epic. With 1 hour and 54 minutes of gripping action and great stunts, you'll be on the edge of your seat. Damon plays the role of Jason Bourne a man found, floating in the sea, by a sea vessel suffering from amnesia and bullet wounds. The only clue of his true identity is a small laser which projects someone's bank details.

In the Bourne Identity, most of the stunts are close combat. Unlike many other films, such as James bond and Mission Impossible 3, the weapons used by Jason Bourne are objects lying around him at the time and his excellent and mysterious combat skills. Once in the film he even uses a biro as a means of attack. He will also use furniture and parts of the building to defeat the opponent.

Doug Liman was the director of Mr & Mrs Smith as well as Jumper, two well known action films. He was born July 24th 1965 to a painter/writer and a New York lawyer. Liman started his career making short films in high school. In many of his films he uses lots of action, whether it be with guns, biros, or martial arts.

Films that I would compare The Bourne Identity to would be the James Bond Series because it is the same sort of thrilling action that grips people. The Bourne Identity is also based on a novel by Robert Ludlum. Liman probably wanted to make the Bourne Identity into a film as he is a fan of Ludlum's Bourne Identity novel. The audience watching the film gets the feeling of excitement that Liman most probably had when reading and directing the Bourne Identity. This is good because the watchers are able to enjoy the film and get the most out of it.

Throughout the film there are lots of elements of mystery. It starts off with a mystery of him floating out in sea and being found by a fishing crew with no memories. It then has the different characters, that Bourne has yet to meet, coming into the film giving us hints as the film progresses. We, the audience, have a better idea about what is going on and

    You can’t get away from mysteries in this novel. Every time one is solved, it springs up another. For example, when the mystery of Sam’s identities is solved, it brings up another: why have three identities (Turtle Wexler discovers the answer behind this secret)? When Turtle discovers the true identity of the firebomber, why does she cover for her? When all of the clues are pieced together, why did they point to what seems to be an innocent soup kitchen worker? The novel truly incorporates mystery into every aspect of its story and they aren’t truly solved until the final page. If anybody can figure them out before finishing the book, then they must be a genius.…

The couple’s son, Andrew Bagby is murdered by his psychopathic ex-girlfriend, Shirley Turner. Shortly after Andrew’s death, Shirley announced her pregnancy. After hearing this news, the filmmaker Kurt Kuenne, Bagbys’s good friend creates a documentary to serve as both a memorial to Bagby and an introduction to the father the child would never know. Imagine if you ever had to see your son’s killer: what would you do? Would you be wise as David and Kate Bagby? Would you let grandchild’s custody be given to the murderer of your son? And the most important question is why didn’t the authorities do something? I know I wouldn’t be as wise as David and Kate and drive hours to see my grandchild at my son’s murderer’s house.

    The element of mystery becomes most apparent during the beginning stages of the story when the main characters are being introduced. With minimal details and no background information Wolff forces the reader to only have one option and read on. Tub is presented to us when he is on a sidewalk pacing back and forth - “One driver stopped for him but before Tub could wave the man on he saw the rifle on Tub’s back and hit the gas.” This only begs the questions, why does he have a rifle? and Why is he out in public with the rifle?

    Composers focus on the importance of the journey rather than the destination alone. Journeys provide valuable learning experiences which enable self-discovery and help develop our understanding of the other people we meet throughout our journey. Every new self-discovery made leads to growth and maturity which provides new insights and experiences. The aspect of a journey providing valuable experiences are evident in Robert Cormier’s novel “After the First Death”(1979) and “Around the World in Eighty Days”(1872) by Jules Vernes.…

    First of all, it is evident that the very detailed description cannot translate to cinematic form. To replicate this, the suspense is portrayed through the faces of the young actors who are, in my view, simply not talented enough to be able to properly bring out our emotions with the poorly performed dialog.…

    46. I would not consider Jason a tragic hero. Maybe the reason why is because I am a woman and can relate to Medea’s pain. I began not like him in the second half of Jason and the Golden Fleece. I found with each task he became less and less of a heroic figure to me. Per Aristotle’s definition of a tragic hero, Jason leaving Medea for …. Would have been the rash decision that he makes without thinking of the consequences. This causes Medea’s wrath which leads to the death of his soon to be wife and father-in law, his children, and his place on the throne. While this wrath was an extreme unnecessary and tragic in itself, I still wouldn’t qualify Jason as a hero. Medea won his quest for him and then he has the audacity to leave her because she…
