The Bourne Identity

Color is an element that directors use very often because of the fact that it works. It can create a symbolic representation of something or someone. Liman was no exception. In the movie he uses the color red many times to signify some sort of action or adventure. I believe that he used it to signify to Jason was around or was coming, meaning that he had some influence in the upcoming scene. This is very evident from the beginning of the film. The movie starts out in a boat in the Mediterranean where several fishermen are playing cards on a table. The color of the table in which they are playing is red. Later in the scene, after they pick up Jason from the sea, they put his almost life-less body on the red

From the beginning of the film we see the red table in the boat. There is a pan of the scenery and we see that there is many white house. This kind of says that he cares for the children’s safety and that they are close to his heart. It was the starting point for the movie. We see Jason through the reflection in the window of the train. This is the most intimate scene in the movie. He puts all of the information that he knows about himself in the bag. Liman uses these patterns for the relationship between Marie and Jason. This signifies that he has left his old life of a hitman and is now ready to settle down. This relates to a later part in the movie where he has a flashback to what his mission was supposed to be and sees little kids around the person he was supposed to assassinate. Every time we see them they are in different shots. denominations and about seven passports made out in different names. I believe this signifies that she will be involved in the action with Jason.
