Lesson 1: Never, EVER enter into a program in which they say to you, "do you really need to know that?"
Lesson 2: Yes, the government has phone a surveillance system. Be careful.
Lesson 3: In the right hands, magazines can be weapons.
Lesson 4: If you enter into a car chase with Jason Bourne, you will die.
Lesson 5: Killing people kills you.
Time to state the obvious: I just finished the first three Bourne movies. Now for my rating: I give it an 8 on the heart-wrenching-o-meter, a 10 on the fist-pump-o-meter, and it received the A. W. E. S. O. M. E. award on the plot-o-meter. I loved it! Here's the one thing that got me, though. So Jason is tortured by the memory all the people he's killed. He says in the third movie, "I try to apologize..."
I wish more people knew God forgives. I know, I know, Bourne was just a character in a movie, but it made me sad.
Hopefully the Aaron agent person in the next movie has a happier state of mind...but I doubt it. "Happy state of mind" is a completely foreign concept for these agents, and I don't blame them.
ANYWAYS. The Bourne trilogy is excellent and ranks second on my imaginary favorite movie list--next only to Lord of the Rings. Have fun wincing sympathetically as you watch.
We love the Bourne movies. Saw Legacy at the theater and was a bit disappointed. Just isn't the same without Jason. And no, they don't get the happy state of mind either. I actually haven't read the books! But I have the first one on my to read list...someday it'll get read.
