Jason Bourne is a fictional character and the protagonist of a series of novels by Robert Ludlum and subsequent film adaptations. He first appeared in the novel The Bourne Identity (1980), which was adapted for television in 1988. The novel was very loosely adapted in 2002 into a feature film under the same name and starred Matt Damon in the lead role.
The character has appeared in twelve sequel novels; the most recent (nine) were written by Eric Van Lustbader, with the latest published in 2014. Along with the first feature film, The Bourne Identity (2002), Jason Bourne also appears in two sequel movies The Bourne Supremacy (2004) and The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), both with Damon again in the lead role. Jeremy Renner stars in the fourth film of the franchise, The Bourne Legacy, released in August 2012. Damon stated in interviews that he would not do another Bourne film without Paul Greengrass, who had directed the second and third installments. Greengrass agreed to direct Damon in the fifth installment in the franchise, Jason Bourne, with the two of them jointly writing the screenplay.
Django Unchained (/ˈdʒæŋɡoʊ/, JANG-goh) is a 2012 American western film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, starring Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington, and Samuel L. Jackson. Set in the Old West and antebellum South, it is a highly stylized variation of Spaghetti Westerns, and a tribute to the 1966 Italian film Django by Sergio Corbucci, whose star Franco Nero has a cameo appearance.
The story is set in the Deep South in the early winter of 1858 and the following spring of 1859, two years before the outbreak of the American Civil War, with preliminary scenes taking place in Old West Texas. The film follows Django (Foxx), a branded black slave, and Dr. King Schultz (Waltz), an English-speaking German bounty hunter posing as a travelling dentist. Schultz buys and then promises to free Django in exchange for his help in collecting a large bounty on three outlaws. Schultz subsequently promises to train Django in bounty hunting and split the bounties with him in partnership, if Django assists him in hunting down other outlaws throughout the winter. He further offers to help Django to locate and free his long-lost wife Broomhilda (Washington) from her cruel plantation owner Calvin Candie (DiCaprio).

You've always told me just to be myself
To make decisions based on who I thought I'd become
Gave me every chance
The path I chose led me to this life
I hope I'm everything you wanted to see
All I ever wanted was to make you proud
I tried everything to do my best
But failure always seems to grab me by the neck
How much longer will it take to justify all my mistakes?
I just want you to believe that this is where I was meant to be
How much longer will it take to justify all my mistakes?
I just want you to believe that this is where I'm finally free
I'm not the perfect son you thought I would be
I can't shake the feeling that somehow I failed you
Every minute, every dollar I've wasted
Promising so much and delivering nothing
I swear to you I'm trying to succeed
I hope you understand this is all for you
Everything I am is to prove to you
That I won't be broken
I'm the end result of all my bad decisions
How much longer will it take to justify all my mistakes?
I just want you to believe that this is where I'm finally free
