Political/moral message in movie

Rating: 9/10 (7 August 2007)

What I feel the message of the movie is is that you may end up getting tricked into signing up for something you don't believe in, as is what often happens when you join a government agency. In the case of Jason Bourne, he realized he was a killing machine serving the interests of a few, when really he signed up in the hopes of saving American lives. It is the same with American troops and the Iraq war, something that has now been proved to be a war based on fictitious premises. I like the quote from the movie when the top guy trying to kill Bourne says, "it ain't over till we win" when the women CIA agent is questioning his policy of exterminating everybody that poses a threat. I see a lot of parallels between that and the war on terror, something i think was intentional by the writer.
