The Bourne Identity came out 20 years ago, and with it came an intimate (and intensely edited) takedown of U.S. military spending run wild. Our IllusiveKen looks back on the action film:
There’s a moment in every kid’s life when they discover that the adults in the room are just as clueless as anybody else. That’s usually a rough time. Worse is when you discover that the adults in the room are, and are in fact disdainful of the concept of good. The kids dragging themselves to school while their classmates and teachers die on ventilators have recently come to learn this sobering fact. For those of us of draft age in 2001, though, 9/11 was really the moment of epiphany.
It’s a bit on the nose that a movie about a guy named “Bourne” begins with our protagonist pulled from water, awakening as a completely blank slate. Jason Bourne has near-total amnesia. He can read, write and speak a babel of tongues, instinctively assess threats, and punch out Zurich police and field strip their stupid little guns without thinking, but he otherwise has no clue about his past life.
