I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obamas Dreams From My Father and how i
31、t had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a brilliantly（精彩地）written book”. However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar
32、. And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they havent. In the World Book Days “Report on Guilty Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied abo
33、ut reading, and as Im not one to lie too often (Id hate to be caught out), Ill admit here and now that I havent read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwells 1984. I think its really brilliant. The World Book Da
34、y report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I havent read him, but havent lied about it either) and Herman Melville. Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone th
35、ey were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more indepth! But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. K.

39、d away from the explosive and unrealistic style of those that went before. Forget Bond and Hunt, Bourne was here and he was intent(打算） on making a stand. Relying on drama to captivate the audience, and not just explosions and action sequences, Bourne was different. Stripped back to the basics of the
40、 genre, Doug Liman (the Director) used emotion between the characters, an extremely strong and in-depth storyline to create a film that is extremely engrossing for viewers and fans of the genre. With a major impact on all future films produced in this genre, Bond movies have changed their approach s
41、ince this release, The Bourne movies, including this one, have made a massive stand in the movie industry.

44、o the intentions and reasons behind this, Bourne soon discovers a major conspiracy(阴谋) involving the American CIA. Joining a young Gypsy woman, who becomes tied into the seeking, Bourne travels across many different locations in Europe in hopes of ending his ties to the faction(派系） intent on his dea
45、th. As plot lines go, The Bourne Identity has one that is strong enough to keep audiences interested throughout. The fact that the main protagonist has amnesia, means that as Bourne learns about who he is, so do those watching him. This is another strong element to the movie; audience members are ab
