The Bourne Identity - 4

Mostly a spy movie with an amnestic (yes, that is the adjective form of amnesiac) twist. What is our fascination with forgetfulness, don't we have old age for that? Is it that we want to forget things, or remember things? Or forget bad/remember good?
In the end it is not his identity that is found, it is just the chic. It seems also that in this film killing chooses you and not vice versa. In the sequel it reverses this theme. I much preferred The Bourne Supremacy.
