In the films, the character of Jason Bourne, portrayed by Matt Damon, varies from the character described in the novels. The films omit the Vietnam War and the character of Carlos the Jackal. They also focus significantly more on the female roles of Nicky (Julia Stiles) and Marie (Franka Potente).

Famous quotes containing the words film and/or universe:
“Perhaps our eyes are merely a blank film which is taken from us after our deaths to be developed elsewhere and screened as our life story in some infernal cinema or despatched as microfilm into the sidereal void.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Man is but a reed, the feeblest one in nature; but he is a thinking reed. The entire universe need not arm itself to crush him—a vapor, a drop of water suffices to kill him. But if the universe were to crush him, man would still be nobler than that which killed him, because he knows that he dies and the advantage which the universe has over him; the universe knows nothing of this.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
