Matt is my favorite actor, not because of his acting, but because of his eyes. The earliest I knew him was in Good Will Hunting, the Chinese name translated very vividly, soul catcher. Matt plays a talented young man in it, with clear and simple eyes but a hint of cunning and mystery. In fact, Matt himself is also a talented young man. Good Will Hunting is the script he wrote with his friend Ben Affleck, and won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay of the year. Robin Williams also won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor again for this film. . Matt rose to fame, and was later cast in the role of Ryan in the classic film Saving Private Ryan by Steven Spielberg. With Spielberg's level and Matt's own acting skills, Ryan is not portrayed as an image waiting to be rescued and then crying home, but a typical American soldier, young, energetic, smart, and most importantly, full of patriotism. ideology. Then there is the lead role Ripley in The Talented Mr. Ripley, another great director Anthony Minghella's work. Due to the flaws of the screenwriter, this film sets off the birth of another idol star, Jude Law, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Matt has since made his way to stardom. He has filmed Ocean's Eleven and the next two sequels one after another. The episodes are heavier and heavier. He is the voice of the cartoon Spirit, and starred in the American version of Infernal Affairs, which fulfills Martin Scorsese's Oscar statuette dream. Of course, he also There is this Bourne series that grossed over 500 million.
In Bourne Ultimatum, Matt's eyes are no longer as green as they were ten years ago, but they are more insightful and penetrating. He was also named the sexiest man in 2007 by the American "People" magazine due to the successful release of the film. You must know that his competitors include George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, and men with both character and charm.
I have to admit that Good Will Hunting, Saving Private Ryan, Ocean's Eleven, Matt, despite his dazzling star, is always overshadowed by the surrounding big names. Only when it comes to Bourne Identity, Matt is really marked as the protagonist. Bourne is such a character born for Matt Damon. He is very skilled, has a mysterious identity, is in a dangerous situation, and is dedicated to his love (in the third part, he still misses the girlfriend he met in the first part, not a beautiful girl in an episode like 007, who changes more than clothes) Bourne has always appeared as a fugitive in the stories of the trilogy. He has no special task but is given a heavy mission. The top secrets of the state are all on his shoulders.
The emergence of Bourne Identity was once hailed as a new model for action movies in the new century. The necessary elements of action movies such as chase, shootout, speeding, etc. have all had a new look in this film, and the European live-action filming has brought the film Exotic. What is even more rare is that the Bourne series has not fallen into the cliché of the dog tail. Since Paul Greengrass took over the procedure collection Bourne Supremacy, the film has a more compact narrative style and a more European atmosphere. undoubtedly. The director's mastery of the rhythm is ingenious, without a lengthy plot foreshadowing, abandoning the protracted emotional description, and maintaining the entire film in a tense and exciting climax, making the audience dare not take their eyes away for even a second. Matt's performance has also been brought to a higher level in this film, thanks to the hard work of the writing team.
Bourne is not an action series in the general sense. It has a complex expression of human nature, a critique of national politics, a more imaginative and creative plot, and a very clever and ingenious suspense arrangement. The series of films will become Matt Damon's important masterpiece.
PS: Paul Greengrass, director of Bourne Supremacy and Bourne Ultimatum, has directed United 93, which is also a good film with rhythm control and storytelling. Paul was a pioneering reporter, so he has a unique perspective, which was already revealed in his earlier famous work Bloody Sunday, which is simple but realistic. In Bourne Ultimatum and United 93, there are a lot of shaky shots, which were shot with hand-held cameras, and all the streets, pedestrians, and car chases and fights were shot on the spot, with a strong documentary flavor.
