Bourne Supremacy: Movie Analysis

Improved Essays
The movie, Bourne Supremacy, is the second movie in the Bourne series, which is directed by Paul Greengrass. The Bourne series is packed full of intense action and thrilling chase scenes that keep you intrigued at all times and Bourne Supremacy is an example of the outstanding and compelling storyline that goes throughout the series.
Matt Damon is the lead role as Jason Bourne, an ex-CIA assassin that got out of the system and is trying to remember who he really is, because he has psychogenic amnesia and can only remember bits and pieces of his life as an assassin. Alongside Matt Damon are some other actors and actresses that did an excellent job in the Bourne Supremacy, like, Julia Stiles as Nicky Parsons, a coordinator and logistics person for the assassins that worked for the CIA. Brian Cox played the part of Ward Abbott, the director of Treadstone, an experimental group, which Jason Bourne was apart of. Joan Allen was the part of Pamela Landy, a section director of the CIA who uncovered ties to Treadstone and the relevant traitor inside the CIA. The last big name is Karl Urban, who plays the Russian Assassin, Kirill, whose job is to hunt down and kill Jason Bourne.

From start to finish, Bourne Supremacy is full of enticing and exciting action, from car chase scenes, hand to hand combat, and just the intense tension between professional relationships. Another thing that this movie does well, is when the chase scenes happen with the cars, the damage to the vehicles is very realistic, unlike some movies where at the end of the scene, the car remarkably has only has a few scratches and maybe some dings on it. I think a lot of people like to see when things get destroyed or big crashes in movies, so when it is realistic, it helps the visual effect of what just

    Another great example for production design in science fiction movies is the movie Ex Machina. To begin with, production design includes the design of sets which makes set design one of the most important aspects while producing a movie. For example, one of the points set design deals with is the location where the film is going to be shot. Funderburg (2015) explained that in the movie Ex Machina, they used two Norwegian locations both designed by the architects Jensen & Skodvin. One of the locations is a private mansion and the second one is the Juvet Landscape Hotel, which consists of single suites secretly linked to the fjord and forest around them (para. 2).…

    Journal Entry The movie “A Time to Kill” is similar to the classic novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” as a white lawyer is defending an innocent African American man, but the predominantly white jury is the only obstacle that both men have of getting freedom and receiving true justice. The ending is where the two break apart as Carl Lee Hailey is pronounced innocent and gets to live, while Tom Tom Robinson ( still at court but believes that Atticus will fail) dies while trying to escape prison. Both the novel and film depicts how the justice system in the south is not fair as the jury cannot see beyond the skin colour of the accused. I believe that the actions that Carl Lee Hailey did was justified as the two rapists Billy Ray Cobb and Pete…
