#bourne identity

I hate it when I’m watching a movie that has nothing to do with romance, and out of nowhere they start slobbering over each other’s faces. Like, hello? I’m watching a movie about a runaway CIA agent? When did he find time to do that?

Nokiawave™ was a term applied by designer David Rudnick on twitter in 2018 to refer to thriller/action films that incorporated:

“mid-to late 90s fascination with "Budapest" as an impossibly sexy backdrop of spy intrigue”*

He went on to apply the label to several films of the era:

“provisional NOKIAWAVE shit-tech espionage canon (please suggest additions, ambiguous depictions of eastern europe as one enormous physical black market a plus) Mission Impossible (1996) Goldeneye (1995) The Saint (1997) The Bourne Identity (2002) The Jackal (1997) Ronin (1998)”

The ideas behind what connects these films was more seriously written up by Jacob Lindgren at Mubi who suggests a post Cold War malaise where the certainties of good and bad (Communism vs. Capitalism, East vs. West) dissolved in a post-communist, post-modernist swirl of corruption, consumerism and civil conflict** (most notably in the former Yugoslavia) that defined the West up until September 11th attacks. 

*Rudnick’s original thread on twitter here

**Adam Curtis’s provocative documentary essays have explored this period extensively, Hypernormalisation is a good entry point and well worth a watch.

sometimes all i can think about that once performance of bourne identity where alex began by saying "this is about my time as spy" and then 6 years later wrote "village coffee mornings with not long since retired spies // now that's my idea of a good time"

As we continue deeper into this artistic analysis of action film icons, there's no avoiding the modern (kind of) spy thriller and patron saint of shakycam action The Bourne Identity. I'd seen the original 80s TV movie based on the book, but never the Matt Damon remake in full.

My first impression is that though Taken might get a lot of flak for its use of shakycam and fast cuts--a necessity as Neeson's age prevented him from pulling physically exacting stunts--The Bourne Identity is really the film that solidified it as the standard for gritty early 2000s action.

The grittiness is Bourne's greatest asset for post 9/11 spy films. In the late 90s your espionage thrillers were likely to be campier affairs like Mission: Impossible, True Lies, or The Long Kiss Goodnight. If you wanted grit and realism you went for European releases like Ronin, because even American imitators of this style like The Jackal were full of gimmicks like robot guns used to shoot at Hillary Clinton.

This continued into the 00s with films like Swordfish, but as the planes hit the towers America became distinctly more aware of its black budget apparatuses. Bourne ushered in this new feel to spy thrillers that eschewed the antics that Austin Powers was lampooning and delved into the sort of realism that critics were craving. Die Another Day ALSO came out in 2002! The Bond movie with the North Korean space laser! The shift is clear here, even if it involves shakycam action scenes.

Artistically this is what impressed me the most about The Bourne Identity. Its return of realism to the spy genre is a breath of fresh air compared to movies like The Rock at the time, and even as I look back at Brosnan's bond as my favorite, I must admit that The Bourne Identity is superior in both tone and direction, well deserving its icon status in the annals of action film legends.

You know what, I had a very long flight and to kill the time, I marathoned ALL the Jason Bourne movies and it led me to some CONCLUSIONS:

1. Those filmmakers had a pitch meeting where they decided that mid-50s white men were the Worst Tm people to have in positions of power and they were right

2. The entire team of Bad Guys would have been totally fine if the path they had chosen was “inaction” and I think that’s a life lesson

3. There should be more pre-cannon and head cannon fic of this series because literally nothing you write can be out of character or against cannon. You know why? The title character does not remember anything pre-cannon! All we really know was that something about it was “difficult” for Nicky Parsons and they spend about 3 whole movies not explaining that sentence one bit

Moral values such as justice and goodness exist but cannot be seen… Love an indispensable reality of life, remains unseen… Numbers, sets, propositions, and properties cannot be seen… Formal laws of logic, law of non-contradiction, excluded middle, and identity are unseen.
