massacre scene in the lab, because of the events in Colorado? Even thought it was slightly different, it was still eerily similar to resent events. Guy goes mad, and decides to start killing random people...

no since he didn't have red hair.

I did get that uneasy feeling. It seemed really well(?) timed, given the three recent shootings.
Still i thought it was one of the better scenes in the movie....
yeah, it was one of the better scenes in the movie. But i was just curious what everyone else thought about the scene....

You do realise the guy did NOT go mad, and that his targets were anything but random don't you?
Ed Nortons department was closing down anyone associated with Outcome, and that included the staff that helped design and test the meds the Outcome operatives were using.

That part was a creepy, but it was when the movie started to get really interesting too.

I thought about the Coloroado shootings during that scene, but didn't feel uncomfortable.

shareI almost asked the same thing.

Just saw the movie on DVD and no the scene did not make me uncomfortable. I figured he was doing it for the reasons he DID do them. Because the government was killing off everyone involved in their program.
And I am never worried going to movie theaters or other public places. Just because I figure I am more likely to die in a car crash than by some gunman gone wacko.
I didn't feel uncomfortable. Watching the news it seems like shootings like that happen all the time in the US

Yup. Agreed. I felt uncomfortable during that scene too and the first that came to mind was the Colorado shooting. Pretty much a similar situation where the victims were helpless and shot by a single gunman. I'm wondering how disturbed and traumatized the survivors who went through the shooting in Colorado would be if they saw this scene in Bourne Legacy.
shareI doubt the survivors will be going to a theater any time soon. Especially if they're, you know, traumatized.
shareIs it bad that because of the Colorado shooting, I'm extremely paranoid whenever I go to the movies, or just anywhere now?
I love seeing movies, even if it's not a movie I've been dying to see, I just love going to the theater and escaping. Movie trips and midnight showings are what my family and friendships are all about. But now because of what happened, I feel as if someone invaded my home and I can't go anywhere anymore without the threat of being shot/killed, because I always felt that the movie theater was my sanctuary. I'm 19, I know about all those school shootings, but going to school never made me this scared.
I've been to the movies about 4 or 5 times since the shooting, but every time, I feel slight panic whenever I hear people open the doors during the movie, and I stare at the exit doors and reassure myself a hundred times that they can't get in from outside. It's not even in the movie theater; when I go somewhere public I used to feel completely confident wherever I went and didn't mind talking to other people and answering questions. But now I worry constantly that every stranger might be a threat. It's bad. My friend laughed at me and then told me I was a dumbass. But I'm really shaken.
^ I don't know if it's "bad" that you're extremely paranoid - but it certainly is pointless. Yeah, guess what, someone could just come into your movie theater and mow everyone down and there really isn't much you can do about it. You could be walking down the street and some random guy could just decide to shoot you in the head. Again, nothing you can do about it. The chances of any of this ever happening? Extremely rare. And there is probably a 99% chance it won't happen to you. But it has happened, and it CAN happen.
But to worry about these kind of frivolous things is pointless, because the chance of it actually happening is so small, and if it does happen then there is just nothing you can do about it. Hell, anytime you leave your house there is a chance of something bad happening to you. You could get into a fatal car accident that isn't even your fault. So you're left with two options: stay inside your house all the time, afraid of what may happen to you if you leave, or go outside and take a minute risk of something bad happening to you. But then again, something could still happen to you if you stay inside your house... someone could break in and harm you, you could choke to death on a pretzel, etc etc.
The point that I'm trying to make is stop worrying about stupid scenarios that have a .1% chance of actually happening. There's nothing you can do about it. If today is your day to go, then that's just how it's going to be.
Sounds like it could be the start of anxiety or panic attacks. But then again, I'm not a doctor, so that's probably who you should talk to about this. Rather than on a message board for a movie about spies.

Well, after I posted that, I've gone to the movies about a hundred times, and public places don't scare me anymore. I'm not too worried; my theater has a police man present during most weekends and big movie openings ever since that awful shooting. I'm still nervous about going to future big-movie midnight showings. I have lots of bad dreams about shootings, too, which doesn't help lol.
And yeah, I haven't been to a doctor about it, but I do have very bad anxiety and I seldom have panic attacks. A year ago I was at my worst, but now I'm mostly able to control it, so I don't see any need to get medication. It's really a mental thing.
All I thought was 'lucky such shootings aren't uncommon in the US, otherwise the 'bad' guys would have had to come up with another credible way to kill off all those scientists in one place'.
Although of course, more guns is the answer to such shootings.

I felt the same as OP. I started to feel we live such a strange time for many individuals doing acts like this and I do think they get their ideas from movies/games. Sometimes feels theres not much to do about it, but I do hope countries will just ban the guns more.. and I know and dont like this either but seems to me one of the better solutions (in many cases, not perhaps in colorado tho). Anyways, didnt mean to get too political here. Overall a cool scene.

Did you even watch this movie? These so-called massacres are being carried out by government agents, some of them with virus-controlled minds, to take out specific targets. Can we ban the government from having guns? Obviously not, how dumb are you?
shareyou should be more worried about why such events are portrayed as 'normal' in movies such as this
shareYeah and with the Sandy Hook incident the other day, a little too close....
share@ajmal-m you should be more worried about why such events are portrayed as 'normal' in movies such as this
In what way was this event portrayed as normal in this movie? The movie seemed to portray it as unusual to me.
