Trapped
I loved The Bourne Ultimatum. It's all about - well for me - the constraints of urban life. Chase scenes through crowded markets, train stations, peak hour traffic. The moments where physical exhileration are possible are rare, and usually involve water (though even there there is the constant threat of drowning - as his girlfriend did in the previous movie). So, now to my thematic segue:

Spring is trapped in a gutter in Brunswick St.

Our lemon tree is trapped down by the side of our house.
