#the bourne identity

[aceofwhump]

Hey Ace! I am looking for specific examples of whump and I was wondering if you knew any. I just watched a movie called October Gale where a stranger was shot and in danger and a woman had to help him and protect him from the guys trying to kill him. Any scenario where a woman has to protect a man who is hurt or unable to protect himself. Bonus if they are strangers.

Thanks!

Hi nonny!!! OOOh yes. Yes I can help you here. I love that trope/plot so much. There's some good movies with it.

Reasons Jason Bourne is the superior super spy:

Spends most of the first movie wearing cozy old sweaters

His love interest is nervous talking, pouring out her life story and he's not only genuinely listening but wants her to keep going because he likes hearing her talk

Pours his heart put to HER and is completely honest with her after only knowing her for like an hour

Is happy to give Marie tons of money for helping him

When he first realizes that people are trying to kill him, he tries to send Marie to the police even though it would be bad for him

Everyone in the first movie is like "What's Bourne up to, he must have a genius master plan" but actually he's just so so confused and beating them all on muscle memory alone

When they have to dye Marie's hair for disguise, he actually does it for her and I list this purely because I do not believe that James Bond would do the same

After his love interest dies in the beginning of the second one he goes three whole movies without hooking up with, flirting with or otherwise seducing any other women (yes I'm looking at you, JAMES. But Ethan Hunt is not off the hook either.) (To be clear the MOVIES are just as likely as the other franchises to fridge its female characters, but before they do that Jason himself is gonna be respectful)

He has such a baby face in the first one. Yes he can kill you with his bare hands but he also looks like he calls his mom to help him make doctor appointments

Awkwardly plays with kids on a swingset so his girlfriend can talk to her brother

He's an assassin, sure, but he feels really bad about it

On a scale from Avatar the Last Airbender (“what adaptation?”) to Lockwood and Co (“nearly word-perfect dialogue, the only changes were slight and were certified improvements if anything”) how good was the adaptation of your fave original content?

*Shadow and Bone is the middle ground for (“Substantial changes were made to the original, but I don’t even care cuz goddamn this shit slaps.”)

Bourne isn't sure where The Professor is within the field so he uses the report of the shotgun's gunfire to get the birds to fly around over The Professor's head, tracking their movements to reveal the position of his adversary, which is why the professor recklessly takes a run for the treeline.

Apparently this sequence originally ended with Bourne quickly ambushing and killing the Professor after intercepting him as both flank around the barn after the explosion, killing him instantly, without permission from the studio and only 5 minutes of film available, Doug Liman went out with the actors and the stunt crew and shot this sequence himself, feeling he missed out on an important emotional beat with The Professor and Bourne connecting over their shared experiences and loneliness of being Treadstone assassins.
