I watched this movie again this week with my daughter's boyfriend who is presently painting the front of our house and doing a really great job.
As I watched it the second time I realized how secret agents might be used this way by various governments. In this sense by medicating them in a specific way they sort of become not like the orginal Jason Bourne but become expendible like Robots or Biological Robots. So, I think this isn't just a movie but likely in some way is happening as a way to control secret agents who are trains assassins like the Bourne type of outward Bound trained agent. The whole Bourne concept sort of began with Rambo who was supposed to have been a trained sniper and backwoods operative in Viet Nam and Cambodia who sort of lost it when coming home to the U.S. So now, we see this same kind of operative being medicated and robotized by so doing so that this operative cannot function as an operative without his or her medication. And we also see how easy it is to kill their operatives with medication as well. Also, we see how operatives could be chosen from people who have no relatives at all so to whom the military or CIA is their only home and place of reference. And so, if they disappeared literally no one would miss them or even know they were gone.
I'm not saying this is in any way good. I'm just saying that this may be the world we presently live in with such agents being given amnesiacs (I have a relative now passed away who was kept in a coma and then given amnesiacs to save his life from STrep pneumonia and he lived another 6 years). So, when agents are given amnesiacs they would not only be anonymous they would also forget a day, a week, a month, a year, depending upon the dosage of the amnesiac they were given. And this could be agents from any country or even corporation worldwide. This is something for us all to think about given the very world we all live in right now. This isn't the future. This is right now!
