Most of the stuff I enjoy in the Bourne series centers around intelligence and espionage. They could put Paul Reubens in one of those types of movies, and I’d watch it.
The quality and focus of war movies has gone from the veneration of American ingenuity (i.e. Battleground or Von Ryan’s Express) to denigration of American “power,” as if to say that we should be fighting with bolt-action rifles and bayonets again.
The media, esp. Hollywood, doesn’t get it.
Great analysis! I never thought I’d see Paul reubems and Von Ryan’s Express mentioned in the same discussion. :)
I will admit, me likey Julia Styles, so I might have to watch a few clips of the Bourne pics on Youtube.
