Reply to Movies with interesting visual concepts? by Goncholotr

I watched Whisky galore today. I might be the prettiest black and white movie I’ve ever seen. It has a gorgeous long shot of the sea like every 90 seconds.

It also does Titanic’s image of two people spinning together before Titanic did it.

Reply to Jason Bourne movies. by [deleted]

>1- Was Jason Bourne genetically enhanced?

I don't remember Bourne 2 well enough to recall specific details - but Bourne 1 has Clive Owens' character (giving us a glimpse into a universe wher he played an incredible Bond) take medicine before completing his jobs and asks Bourne if he also gets headaches while working. This suggests that the other Treadstone agents are conditioned somehow.

Bourne 3 reveals some of Bourne's psychologicaly/pharmacological conditioning.

Bourne Legacy reveals that Bourne was like a 2nd generation super soldier who had been chemically and genetically altered to be smarter/faster/stronger, etc. (basically a "real life" Captain America).

>2- What did Nicky mean by a "scary version" when Pam told her the objectives and targets were always coming from them?

Pam (Landy) believes Bourne is working for a foreign government.

Nicky suggests he's on his own.

This is scary because basically all of our (US) foreign threats right now come from people who were trained by US intelligence forces to fight one enemy who decided that the US was their real enemy. So, imagine a mentally ill/unstable super assasin who's been pharmacologically and psychologically programmed to kill without remorse (this is actually the threat that splits up the Avengers in Captain America Civil War).

Apropos of nothing - I think this series/concept could stand expansion. Check out Charly (Flowers for Algernon) as a stealth prequel:
