The opening scenes in both the movie and Robert Ludlum's novel initially play out in an identical manner. Jason Bourne is shot and falls into the sea where his unconscious body is left floating. He is then rescued when a fishing boat passes nearby. This leads to the first difference. In the movie, the fishing boat captain tends to Bourne's wounds a...
In the movie, Bourne's injuries aren't that bad. It isn't a surprise that a fishing boat captain is able to treat him. He manages to recover in a few weeks on the boat while the voyage continues. The people who shot him must have been really bad at their jobs. In the book, he has way more bullets in him, including one lodged in his head. As a resul...
Matt Damon's character boards a train in the movie when he feels he is fully recovered. He sets off to Switzerland in an effort to locate a safe at the Gemeinschaft Bank that holds the only clue to his identity. In the book, the decision by the doctor to hospitalize an abusive fishing crew is what forces him to flee to the world. RELATED: The 10 Mo...
In the movie, Bourne approaches a German woman named Marie Kreutz and offers her $20,000 to drive him to Paris in her not-so-flashy but fast Mini Mayfair MKV. Off they go, not knowing that they will one day be lovebirds and that it'll end tragically. Ludlum's book took a different approach. In it, Marie was a French-Canadian government economist, a...
The Matt Damon movie has no scene where Bourne and Marie get captured and tortured. However, in the book, Bourne and Marie get captured, tortured, and abused. Why do the bad guys keep doing this? They should know how it always ends. Anyway, as expected, Bourne frees himself and kills his captors. He also saves Marie from men who are trying to sexua...
In the film, Bourne discovers that before getting shot and forgetting his identity, he was an assassin with the name John Michael Kane. He was sent to kill an African dictator named Nykwana Wombosi in his yacht. However, his conscience kicked in when he saw Wombosi with his children. He fled and was shot two times in the process, ending up in the s...
One of the most memorable scenes in the movie happens when Bourne is chased by the police in Paris. Here, he easily establishes himself as one of the best movie drivers of all time. The scene is almost similar to Tom Cruise's Paris chase scene in Mission Impossible: Fallout. The only difference is that Cruise uses a motorbike. Anyway, whereas the m...
When Bourne leaves the bank in the film, an employee notifies the CIA. The director of Operation Treadstone Alexander Conklin assigns three agents to hunt down Bourne. One of them is Castel. In Paris, Castel ambushes Bourne and Marie in their apartment. What results is a pretty impressive fight scene but Bourne gets the better of him. To avoid bein...
In the movie, Treadstone director Alexander Conklin and CIA Deputy Director Ward Abbott meet to talk about Project Treadstone and Bourne. They both agree that Treadstone was a huge mistake and that they should never have signed off on it. Conklin later gets killed as per Abbott's orders. RELATED: Matt Damon's 10 Most Memorable Characters, Ranked Th...
By the end of both the movie and the novel, Bourne and Marie are deeply in love. In the novel, Bourne is living with Marie, but, since he is the only one to have ever seen Carlos The Jackal's face, he has security guards around his home so that Marrie doesn't get harmed. In the movie, Bourne resigns from Treadstone and goes his own way. He tracks d...
