This may pass over an American audience's head but they got a very qualified and highly regarded Russian actress for this tiny role. Oksana Akinshina . She started acting at age 12 and she doesn't speak English - and Matt doesn't speak Russian. For both actors to still perform so well is nuts to me.
If you are a Psychopath, but have Analitical Thought Process, Visual Learning etc...no Direction in Life ,no Education, etc...Statistically, we are more likely to become an Asset, with no unknown End, only a beginning! Even a Trooper would not know His Limitations and will surpass Emotional and Physical stains of Endurance, until their End has been reached by their own Death. Natures way of telling you, YOUR Limit has been reached. Mental: Due to, in most Cases, having not been shown or understood lack of Empaphy and Human Treatment, where such a Connection to Family Life, NUCLEUS, meaning a Caring, Emotional, Consciousness, Direction, during the Blue Print of a Child's Human Interaction, with those who are Tasked with such a Responsibility to Lead, have been Failed! This usually leads to Care Homes, the S.S. Social Services, as someone usually gives up on a Tormented Soul, at some point. Physical: Simple! They have NOTHING to give up to or for! The Armed Forces have a System in place, to Highlight those in this Box. This usually acquires around Joing Battalion and being active, there in, for approximately the first 12, Moon. None Infantry Regiments etc...have a different requirement for their Apptitude and Moral Compass and are therefore less likely to have the Minerals to Comolete the A to Z, until they have not only have Walked the Walk, but their Personalities' are accepted by those on the Staff, at the Time. That is why, Obtaining the Rank of Lance Jack, is necessary for Those Undertaking S.F. Route. I think this is still Relevant, whilst, undertaking such an Ordeal through the Reserves, unless they are 18, to 21, Years of age. Reserves do have longer to Complete this Pilgrimage and they are more likely to be familiar with the routes leading to Test Week. There were, in my opinion, noticeable differences regarding their "Follow on Training" noticeably, Weapon Handling, not adapting to new Tick Tacks developed and unrealistic Work Comittment etc... Nevertheless, I am Enlightend as to why these Type of Men, make the Best Operators on the Job or with the "Firm"etc...I wouldn't Intrust my Freedom, Liberty and Safe Guard of my Children, Loved Ones and way of Life, to the Weak or the timid!

The knowledge did change Irena's perspective of everything. All those years that poor girl has been asking herself why would her mother be so angry with her father, to the point of killing him. And then, upon realizing what she has done, took her own life... without having seconds thoughts about her orphaned child?
The comment refers to her aged appearance due to depression she must be suffering from as an orphan and the fact that her mother did a murder-suicide. It has nothing to do with chronological age. It is a common phrase used in the medical field.
That scene when Bourne is walking in the snow, after having asked for atonement, in some suburb lost in a map in the outskirts of Moscow, completely off grid. And the backdrop imagine of the Moscow condominiums, and the instrumental kicks in. Truly amazing cinematography.
it's a great scene, but he's not asking for atonement. Which is what I love so much about it. He does say sorry, but there's absolutely zero "i don't do this anymore" or "i wish i hadn't done it," because that's what someone begging for forgiveness says. He's telling her because of the "it changes things, doesn't it, when you know the truth." He does it for the girl.
@@LKeet6 I agree. IMO Bourne isn't about atonement but redemption. Bourne is aware he may never escape who is was or who he is but he does confront his past and tries his best to be the opposite. Bourne tracking this girl down and traveling to Moscow to tell her the truth is a perfect representation of who Bourne is trying to be.
I remember rewatching this movie in the winter of 2015/2016 after having seen it once during my childhood. The aesthetic of the outside shots really reverberated with me, since I was stuck working at McDonald's since 2011 having gone full time night shift in 2014. I live in Scandinavia, so the winter can get long and dark here. Sometimes I didn't see the sun for weeks at a time. It must have been around late january when I watched this movie. The way he looks tired, cold, alone, and is limping combined with the grey/blue forced nobody-ness of housing-project Russia was what triggered the moment when I decided I had to make a change. I moved out of mother's and went to university the following summer. I just saw this now and it really hit home how different I feel now
She looks suitably terrified. Comes home to find a strange man in her home who tells her that after years of thinking your parents were responsible for their own deaths the truth is they weren't. Very powerful scene.
Bourne realizes how much he took away from her and changed the course of her life. If her parents were still alive, she'd probably have gone to university, had a career. met someone and got married and started her own family. She was left vulnerable to the world thinking her parents killed themselves and until this conversation never knowing why they would have "left" her. Bourne risks it all to try to square the past for her. That's a lot for both of them to have carried around.
Its the best Bourne movie by a mile I also like how he never fought Carl Urban hand to hand even though he shot the girlfriend only had a shootout with him very unexpected
This might be the best small part of all time. That first tear. And then that look to the side, at the picture. There's so much going on in this apparently simple scene, and Oksana Akinshina was perfect.
@@martmandred9182 Exactly. Lies can be good but they all follow one simple rule: they only last for a moment. Truth on the other hand continues forever. You can bury it with lies, quite often and continuously, but like with any lie it only lasts for a moment while the truth is just...there, all the time, weather we want to believe it or not.
I think this scene sums up the idea of this part of the series - when someone you love is taken from you, you want to know the truth. I guess, losing Marie and and the necessity to make things clear was the driving force behind all Jason Bourne's actions in this movie.
I'm a badguy, It wasn't. He was finally doing the right thing. When you regret your evil? You be amazed at the real-life things you will suffer just to sincerely say your sorry. It's all you got, But your victim will love your words.
The thing about Jason Bourne that's so fascinating to me is that when we see glimpses of his past, he's almost entirely robotic and cold blooded. After his amnesia, he's like an entirely different person. Wanting to escape his past and move on, living the remainder of his life in peace, and we see how genuinely horrified and guilty he is over his horrific deeds and actions. The fact he came all the way to Moscow just to say sorry to this woman confirms that. His shame at leaving a little girl entirely orphaned many years ago in this scene is just incredible viewing and just a wonderful performance from Matt Damon.
We actually never got to know the true Jason Bourne, the one that aggreed on becoming part of the program, the guy that completed the training and went on to become Treadstone's number 1 asset....one of few things that the book and the movie have in common is that they both consider Bourne as Webb's dark alter-ego...i recently have done a re-watch of the saga (got to be at least the 10th time) and man does it hurt seeing scenes like this.
Its a different question whether he should be allowed to escape his past and move on, given how many people he ended and how many widows and orphans he left behind.
This proves that making an emotional scene doesn't need excessive props, action, dialogues, or anything besides that stuff I just mentioned. Simplicity in the right way, #lovebourne
True. Irina's probably spent her whole life believing her mother went insane and murdered her father. Bourne's confession doesn't heal the wound but it does give comfort knowing her mother didn't abandon her OR murder her father. history may look more kindly on her mom now
almost, then he just limps away to his hidden money, and other girls, and plans to try and kill more people, and beat them to a pulp, and then walk away again, cuz the government lets them, there paid to have there sick ways and get a way with it........and whats next ohhh loook CREDITS and more movies, (holding mouth, uhhh sick again)
That shot of him from 4:12 to 4:17 is perfect. Limping, bloodshot eyes, sunken face, just confessed to the Neski girl that he was the one who killed her parents, he looks like he's been through World War 3 at that point. This was what I was hoping the ending of the first Bourne movie would be like instead of the feel-good ending, but at least they did it right here.
Some scenes get etched in our hearts and stay with us forever. This is one such scene and you can really empathize with Jason Bourne taking such great risk of getting shot and escaping a mercenary just to confess his past crime before this young girl . The background score further intensifies the emotions in it. And it is a perfect display of acting skills by Matt Damon.Can hardly imagine anyone except him playing the role of Bourne.
Definitely one of the most powerful scenes in movie history. Especially for the depth, the soundtrack, and the amusing last seconds of it when Bourne leaves. It was like he was apologizing to Marie for getting in her life! Indescribable scene!
he walks away slowly like that as an act of repentance. she can totally one shot him in the back. the whole point is he gives her his back after we spent an entire film noting that he does not do that. ever. then we pan the cam up, cause if she caps his ass from behind, same story. the aatments are the ever flowing course of life. it would happen regardless.
Tony b, she is civilian, it would be hard psychologically to her to kill, she is not a pro, he is much more scillful than her and stronger phisically and Russia is not America where you can freely buy a gun. How did she suppose to kill him?
a normal shoot would aim the sky and the clouds, to show some hope at tje end, but greengrass shoot a sky of buildings. it's like a wave of walls facing, stopping, crushing jason bourne's mind. I think that's how jason fell right now, completety lost; he can't go through that barrier. that neski killing will haunt him for ever.
@@blakris9382 I see it as he's alone forging his own path through those cold and emotionless mazes life (and the agency) throw his way. He's found some redemption; but he will never have peace.
Man the 2000s were the golden age of sequels outshining the first film. This, Shrek 2, Dark Knight, 28 Weeks Later, Final Destination 2, Kill Bill Vol 2, etc.
In what other adrenaline-pumping action movie are you gonna get an ending of the hero atoning for his past (to an innocent girl he orphaned). Jason Bourne is no longer some emotionless killing machine, he's a human being with flaws, regrets and doubts. It makes me cry. Forget Good Will Hunting, THIS is Damon's finest acting!
This scene SO incredibly moving...cinema was packed out but we all sat in stunned silence, listening to JB's gut-wrenching confession. I couldn't hold back my tears. Then at the end, Moby's haunting song & oh man, those lyrics said it all (check them out). Wow, just wow.
That poor, poor girl...look on her face @ 3:39 says EVERYTHING! can u imagine being this child and growing up knowing your parents died a certain way only to discover that was a lie the WHOLE TIME??! Wow man, just wow!
Imagine growing up hating your mom, whom you once loved, for taking away from you everything you held dear, including herself, and then to discover it wasn't her that chose to take it away, and that she died trying to save your father, and being able to stop wondering why she did it.
You really can't help but feel so sad for her. She believed her mother killed her father growing up, only to realize the man across from her assassinated both of them. And now he's trying to find some redemption by giving her the truth. What a scene.
There are monsters in this world in the shape of humans. When those who are are confronted with that truth, we have many choices. We can deny, accept it or embrace it. But we can't escape it. Bourne knew he was a monster. He accepted it. But in the end, all we can do is apologize for our actions, once we realize what we've become.
Ive hurt many people in my lifetime. There is no reason in the world that I shouldnt be in a prison cell for the rest of my life. I couldnt feel remorse or guilt for all of the pain I causes. Then my girlfriend passed away who I completely loved. I realized that the pain it caused me was the same pain I cause so many others. As a result I learned what it was like to feel remorse and sought out several people that I hurt and apologized. In many ways I lived the real life story of Jason Bourne. To everyone who has been hurt by someone like me I want to say im sorry
His apology has no value, and he knows it. What difference does it make to her? He only gives it as an afterthought, because it's foolish not to as he's there. He was there to give her something worth much more than a foreign assassin's apology: the truth.
Absolutely one of the most powerful moments in the entire Bourne series. Everything from the filming angles, the color toning of the film, the music score, the acting of both actors is absolutely perfect and convincing.
Rewatching Bourne when I got older made me realize he hated what he done in the past and he was trying too figure out who he is , I thought it was just a bunch of cool action scenes lol
The Neski assassination was Bourne's first job. But he broke when he was about to do the Wambosi assassination (in the first film) and he saw his target playing with his son on the lounge in the boat. That's when his conscience returned and he stopped being the cold blooded government assassin he was trained to be. Which finally brought him to do this in the second film. He can't bring back the lives of those he killed but here, he corrected the impression that his first target's daughter carried with her throughout her entire life. That took a burden off his conscience and helped ease the pain of the girl.
I grew up in Berlin and moved away with my parents, when I was ten years old. This is one of my favorite scenes in the trilogy, because it shows the places where people live. Especially the last scene reminds me of Berlin/Marzahn and how it felt to live there. I always wanted to visit Moscow because of the Bourne Surpremacy. Maybe it will happen one day. BTW... I love the Bourne movies!
this and the scene in pt 3 where he says"look at us,look at what they make you give" are 2 of the main scenes showing his will to be human again,to redeem his actions somehow,and to break free of the psychological and spiritual bonds they had cast upon him.
02:31 Though...that little smile. She believes him, and a sense of sheer relief washes over her. There's not a question of whether she forgives him or not. He has lifted a weight from her shoulders she had gotten so used to she forgot it was there. Nothing she had believed, her mother hadn't gone crazy, there was no rational reason she killed her father, no affair, none of a dozen other theories she had come up with, it wasn't her fault, none of what she had conceived was true. Her parents were murdered by this man, this ghost. And it does change things. That knowledge.
3:47 What I love about this part is that she doesn't scream, she doesn't lash out, she clearly looks both furious but also terrified of him when he stands up to leave, but you can tell she is just in shock. When he leaves, her gaze doesn't follow him, it looks to the picture that she said a moment before was meaningless.
This is one of the many reasons the new Jason Bourne film is so weak. It just doesn't have the heart and the great story/writing that the originals had.
agreed. no scenes like this, just a boring rehash without any of the great directing and dialogue that the first three had. felt really uninspired and more like a cash grab than anything. the third one was a great ending to the series, the other two after that were just unnecessary.
i disagree, although this one and the second were the best story wise, ultimatum story wasn't as good but was still decent, jason bourne still is a good film with great action, cool story. like i think bourne fighting bare knuckle matches in Europe is badass. and Matt Damon is in like super good shape in this one, stronger more ripped than any film hes ever been in. the fight scenes in this one are really badass, the final fight being a brutally deadly fight that just is so badass. the car chases are always good like the taxi in supremacy and the audi being driven off the roof in ultiamtium, the dodge charger vs swat truck in vegas is extremely epic amazing and indeed badass. i look at Jason Bourne as a excellent addition to the series, I love the bourne series it is my absolute favorite and i really cant hate any of them even the jeremy renner one is worth watching. but Damon is the best there ever was and will be at that character and even this genre of 'action' movies he turned out to be a great action star when he really was more of a drama actor/intellectual.
I completely disagree with you. However I respect your opinion. There's nothing wrong with liking it. I know there are a lot of movies that others dislike a lot that I really enjoy.
After performing in one of the most superb Action/Adventure/Spy/Thrillers made , Matty Damon sits down and drops some of his Good Will acting chops , just cuz he can. Brilliant stuff.
Im so in love with this scene the look on his face he wasn't proud of it killing her parents like he was just doing his job following orders n the music playing.
There was a serious question if there would be a third Bourne movie. Very telling shots for three eventualities. 1) The ending sequence of the Supremacy was an ending - Jason is told his true identity and moves on with his life. He's shown getting onto a fishing trawler (harkening back to the ship he worked on in Identity). 2) The ending sequence of the Supremacy was folded into the Ultimatum continuity - finishing the trilogy. 3) This particular scene was shot with a potential different ending. Namely Jason collapses in the snow, presumably dead.
Saw this film in a multiplex along with my two best pals and then-brother in law. Even before it ended and we got to this moment, I thought, This IS the best film of 2004. That's still the case.
I love the Bourne series as a whole and have read most of the books. I like Jason's character better than Bond. Bourne struggles with the consequences of his actions, he's human and feels tormented over everything he's done. You see this theme through his movies very well, even in the 2016 Bourne film.
Ive hear many compelling stories of killers confessing to their victims loved ones out of regret and shame. But to see it played out it in a movie, it really touched me. This is my favorite part of the movie.
