"I'm not going to hurt you," yet her eyes return again and again to where she knows the gun is. Brilliant acting and directing.
-
I never got the "older than I thought you'd be" comment by Bourne. I realize now he's expressing shock at how long he's been an assassin.
-
That scene when Bourne is walking in the snow, after having asked for atonement, in some suburb lost in a map in the outskirts of Moscow, completely off grid. And the backdrop imagine of the Moscow condominiums, and the instrumental kicks in. Truly amazing cinematography.
-
One of the most powerful scenes in an action movie. Her acting really elevated the film.
-
She looks suitably terrified. Comes home to find a strange man in her home who tells her that after years of thinking your parents were responsible for their own deaths the truth is they weren't. Very powerful scene.
-
Bourne realizes how much he took away from her and changed the course of her life. If her parents were still alive, she'd probably have gone to university, had a career. met someone and got married and started her own family. She was left vulnerable to the world thinking her parents killed themselves and until this conversation never knowing why they would have "left" her. Bourne risks it all to try to square the past for her. That's a lot for both of them to have carried around.
-
This is by far my favorite scene of the movie. It goes directly to the essence of Bourne and what makes him such a tragic, tormented soul.
-
Man Matt Damon is an incredible actor. The girl is too. Powerful scene
-
Oksana Akinshina played this role so very well, beautifully done.
-
This might be the best small part of all time. That first tear. And then that look to the side, at the picture. There's so much going on in this apparently simple scene, and Oksana Akinshina was perfect.
-
“It changes things, That knowledge. Doesn’t it? When what you love gets taken from you, You wanna know the truth.”
-
Beautiful Oksana Akinshina did a brief, tiny, but brilliant performance !
-
The scene really owes its impact to Oksana's subtle yet powerful acting.
-
Jason Bourne went to Moscow and through the violent car chase with Kirill just to apologize to her.
-
Just thinking back on this movie he gets shot and goes through a death adrenline car chase just to tell this girl what he knows. That's pretty heroic!

Some scenes get etched in our hearts and stay with us forever. This is one such scene and you can really empathize with Jason Bourne taking such great risk of getting shot and escaping a mercenary just to confess his past crime before this young girl . The background score further intensifies the emotions in it. And it is a perfect display of acting skills by Matt Damon.Can hardly imagine anyone except him playing the role of Bourne.
-
That shot of him from 4:12 to 4:17 is perfect. Limping, bloodshot eyes, sunken face, just confessed to the Neski girl that he was the one who killed her parents, he looks like he's been through World War 3 at that point. This was what I was hoping the ending of the first Bourne movie would be like instead of the feel-good ending, but at least they did it right here.

The thing about Jason Bourne that's so fascinating to me is that when we see glimpses of his past, he's almost entirely robotic and cold blooded. After his amnesia, he's like an entirely different person. Wanting to escape his past and move on, living the remainder of his life in peace, and we see how genuinely horrified and guilty he is over his horrific deeds and actions. The fact he came all the way to Moscow just to say sorry to this woman confirms that. His shame at leaving a little girl entirely orphaned many years ago in this scene is just incredible viewing and just a wonderful performance from Matt Damon.

This proves that making an emotional scene doesn't need excessive props, action, dialogues, or anything besides that stuff I just mentioned. Simplicity in the right way, #lovebourne
