Directed by: Doug Liman
Starring: Matt Damon, Brian Cox, Julia Stiles, Chris Cooper, Clive Owen, Franka Potente
Continuity mistake: When Jason is cutting Marie's hair in the hotel room, his watch is on his left wrist. When he and Marie begin to kiss, in this flipped shot Jason's watch is on his right wrist, his moles have changed sides, and the hand-held showerhead behind them is backwards as well. Next shot his watch is back on his left wrist. The flipped shot has nothing to do with the small bathroom mirror. (01:00:56)
Jason Bourne: How could I forget about you? You're the only person I know.
Trivia: In the final scene at the scooter shop, look at the hanging plant behind Marie. The red bank bag used throughout the movie is the pot. (01:50:23)
Answer: He didn't want to implicate her in his crimes as an accessory. It is unknown at this time if Marie was already known to be involved, either willingly or unwillingly, with Jason. Marie is an innocent bystander whom Jason got involved in his actions. He told her to turn her head away so she was less likely to be identified. IMHO.
