Who is bourne

A preacher in Rhode Island during the s, Bourne woke up one day unsure of who he was, and departed the city in haste. Setting up shop in Pennsylvania under the name Brown, Ansel Bourne awoke three months later with regained memory and utter confusion as to why he was now a convenience store owner.

Bourne became a study subject for the Harvard Society of Psychological Research, and is now referred to as the first example of dissociative fugue-- amnesia for personal identity. Bourne was hypnotized during his tenure with Harvard and revealed he could assume the identity of Brown or Bourne at varying points.

Much to the surprise of scientists, however, was that neither personality had awareness of the other and simply co-existed within his mind. Needless to say, Ludlum was enraptured by the case, and applied the surname to his own struggling hero.

The man can and has turned everyday items like pens, magazines, and towels into deadly weapons, much to the chagrin of his opponents. In doing so, the operative confirms the proficiency of two core fighting styles: Kali and Jeet Kune Do. Unconcerned with intricate movement and flashy gestures, it's the perfect method for a CIA threat to cut off dogged pursuit. Jeet Kune Do, a style developed by martial arts icon Bruce Lee, focuses upon the importance of adaptation.

It's no wonder he always wins. Though billed as the hero, it's obvious that Jason Bourne is no boy scout. The man is a well-tuned killing machine, adept at the most efficient disposal methods imaginable. Luckily for fans, the franchise has spared no expense is showing this ability, with each gritty kill proving more impressive than the next. Bourne only claims a handful victims of in The Bourne Identity , but his techniques include a shotgun sendoff to operative The Professor Clive Owen and a few acrobatic dismissals in a hotel staircase.

Over the next two films, however, Bourne ups both his kill count and his inventive execution. From flashbacks of former missions to barreling over field agents in his car, Bourne ensures the men who go after him don't live to fight another day.

Only time will tell whether Bourne can up the ante again in his upcoming installment. Jason Bourne was one such subject, and his resulting amnesia cost Treadstone greatly in terms of exposure and government inquiry. Key players Alex Conklin Chris Cooper and Ward Abbott Brian Cox tried to smooth things over, but with Bourne hell-bent on bringing them down, it was only a matter of time.

Aided by the ironclad determination of Pamela Landy Joan Allen , Bourne successfully dismantles the operation altogether. Blackbriar, the successor to Treadstone in The Bourne Ultimatum , is also put to a succinct end due to the double team of Landy and Bourne Now, heading into his fifth installment, Bourne is all that remains of the program that made him.

In the final act of The Bourne Ultimatum , Bourne and Landy share a phone call eerily reminiscent of the one they had in Supremacy. At first it's a bit jarring, until Landy drops the bit about his birthday being on April 15, an intentional slip up to alert Bourne and deter the wiretap of Noah Vosen David Strathairn.

Bourne, real name David Webb, was actually born on September 13, Granted, it's implicitly said in the second film, but it's important not to get mixed up in all the code talk and underlying trickery. Bourne is also Catholic, as can be attested to by his dog tags, and bears type O blood.

Identity director Doug Liman, despite being a huge Ludlum fan, felt bogged down by the detailed source material and decided to start from scratch. As a result, the humble beginnings of Bourne were whittled down to enlisting in the U. Special Forces. Once there, the Wisconsin native showed a predisposition towards the Treadstone mold and willingly agreed to join in the belief he would be serving his country.

Glimpses of this crash course training can be seen in the flashbacks of Ultimatum , though hopefully more will come to light with Jason Bourne. When Damon was first approached to play Jason Bourne, the 31 year old actor was sufficiently confused. He assumed, and rightfully so, that Liman would pursue an older actor to play the part, as the novels imply Bourne to be closer to his 50s. Denis Braccini Picot as Picot.
