10. The Bourne Identity

The Monochrome Picture Show

This week, as promised, we dive into The Bourne Identity. Exploring character development in action films, we compare it to our previous discussion on The Beekeeper and Conall's review, of Doug Liman's film, where he uses Freudian and Eriksonian concepts to analyze plot and character development.

Discover how "The Bourne Identity" transcends the typical action genre, becoming a meditative experience. We delve into the film's unique approach, analyzing Jason Bourne's character through psychoanalytic lenses.

We also discuss the film's use of action to unveil Bourne's past and skills, making it more than just an action movie. The episode concludes with a reflection on George Santayana's quote about understanding one's past for internal development.

📝 Show Notes:

• Gaia and Conall's cinema background.
• Comparison with "The Beekeeper" and character personality.
