Evaluation Task 2

On the right is the main character, and man on the run, in the Bourne Trilogy. This frame is taken from the Bourne Supremacy in a scene where he is being chased through urban streets, similar to how our man on the run is being pursued in Evasion.

The characters are similar in their dress code and appearance. Both are athletic young men, wearing dark coloured clothing, possibly to not grab attention, and also because it lets us know they are perhaps quite serious characters. Another possible similarity is that they both seem to know what they are doing when they are being pursued. Both calmly find escape routes rather than panicking. They both are on the run, however as our character stars only in an opening sequence rather than a whole movie, the plot has not unravelled and we do not know why he is running.

There are other differences. One aspect is that in the sequence of the Bourne Supremacy, there is a SWAT team chasing the man, whereas in ours rather than a legal government team chasing the man, it is a group of what appear to be young criminals who have taken the law into their own hands. Another difference is that Jason Bourne is wanted to be captured, however in Evasion, the henchman seems content with killing the man on the run as he pulls out his gun and says "My man won't know what hit him".

The man on the run is only character who is easily comparable to a character in a well known movie, but he is still not completely comparable as we have no insight into his personality as the man on the run is not involved in any dialogue in our opening sequence.
