Welcome to the 5th episode of our Trilogies series. We hope you enjoyed our last episode where we looked at Jack Ryan Trilogy both starring Alec Baldwin and Harrison Ford as the titular character. On this episode, we look back at another espionage film franchise which is little bit of the opposite of the world seen in the Jack Ryan films. Something that is a little more dark, mysterious, dangerous and not as black and white. A world that is grey. We are going to be looking at the original Bourne Trilogy. The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and finally The Bourne Ultimatum.
Before the studio heads decided to try and milk these films with a not so well received spin-off sidequel starring Jeremy Renner and then resorting to bring back Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon as Jason Bourne in 2016, the original three Bourne Films really defined action cinema in the early to mid 2000s. Highly influential in regards its bleak and nuanced look at the US Government and Special Intelligence agencies, plus it's stylistic and visual approach to action cinematography. Shaky Cam was born with these films.
We hope you continue to enjoy this new Trilogies Series we're doing and we also hope you enjoy this episode.
