Jason Bourne is a man without his memory. Through a series of 3 movies, Jason embarks on a quest to find out his real identity and why the CIA wasnts him dead. Jason goes through a series of emotions on the trip from love to heartbreak to anger and most evident, his desire to take down the government program that created him. Jason has a hard time expressing his emotions openly but if paying close attention, you can pick up his emotions. I believe that the songs I have selected are a good representation of Jason's emotions throughout the trilogy.

The first song I picked is "Echoes" by Pink Floyd. Not only do the lyrics match up with Jason's initial felling of being lost, the music throughout this song makes you feel like you are just floating through the air aimlessly, just like Jason. This song is a very slow and has a very mellow tone to it which fits well with the mindset that Jason is in at the outset of the series.

The next song i chose is "Master of Puppets" by Metallica. The fast pace of the song is a good fit because of the fast pace of the movies and most all of the lyrics are a great fit for Jason's assumption that he and others who were asassians for the CIA were "puppets." Also the fact that Jason is deeply disturbed fits these lyrics. The lyrics from this song are very harse which fits Jason's nature perfectly.

I chose another song the represents Jason's felling that he was a puppet. I chose the song "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath. This song is again fast paced to go along with the movie. This song has more to deal with the heads of the government that just sit back as they send people into the line of fire to do their dirty work.

The next song I felt represented Jason's paranoid behavior and ironically that is the name of the song, "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath. The is only the span between the first and second installment that Jason can feel safe but once he is framed for a murder of two officials in Berlin, he must watch his back every second or he is dead. Again, the fast pace of the song is a great fit since the movie is very face paced.

Throughout the movies, Jason is trying to get back at the United States Government for the things that they make people do. Jason realizes and feels remorse for the things that they make him do and he goes on a mission to find the people who made him do the things he did and seek his revenge on those people. A song I chose to represent even more dissatisfaction with the United States government is "Bulls on Parade" by Rage Against the Machine". This song is very fast paced and the lyrics to the song refer to the government and how they don't worry about americans and just about war and getting what they want. The "bulls" that the song refers to is a metaphor for the government just going on a rampage just like a bull, on parade.

"Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes
Not need, just feed tha war canibal animal
I walk tha corner to tha rubble that used to be a
Library
Line up to tha mind cemetery
What we dont know keeps tha contracts alive an
Movin
They dont gotta burn tha books they just remove em
While arms warehouses fill as quick as tha cells
Rally round tha family, pockets full of shells
Rally round tha family
With pockets full of shells
Bulls on parade"

At the begining of the second installment, Jason's love is caught in the line of fire and is killed by an asassin. Jason is devastated although he does not let it affect his judgement. The song i chose for this is "Every Breath You Take" by The Police. The tone of the song along with the lyrics are a perfect fit for his feelings as he watches the love of his life die. Although it somewhat doesn't fit in with the rest of the songs of the playlist, I feel that this piece is essential because of Jason's feelings when she is killed. Right after her death, there is a scene where it shows Jason burning all of the pictures and traces of her and himself and you can see his pain as Jason refuses to set one picture of him and his loved one on fire.

Another song to go along with the devastation of Jason losing his love is "Ten Years Gone" by Led Zeppelin. Throughout the rest of the series you can tell how the loss of his loved one affects him. She was the only person that he actually knew and now he is all alone in his fight to discover who he actually is.

The final song i have choosen is one that will represent the anger and the desire for revenge that Jason experiences. He tells the CIA that if they ever come after him again that he will retalliate and after they kill the love of his life, he goes on the rampage. The song I chose has very angry lyrics towards the American government, many of those which are probably shared by Jason at this point in the story. "Know Your Enemy" by Rage Against the Machine.
