Minority report without minority report

Many very good-looking movies are basically adapted from novels, and this movie is no exception. I haven't read this novel. Maybe my method is wrong and I can't find it after searching for a long time. Judging from experience, since the commercial tendencies of movies are relatively obvious, they tend to distort the indescribable classic creativity and theme soul in the novel, and I am sure that this movie is also somewhat different from the novel. Wait until I read the novel later to add other different points of view.

There are several contradictions, and problems that are not easy to solve will cause us to think about a certain aspect of the film, or human nature, or survival, or environment, or the future. This is a good movie.


First: Are there any minority reports?

When Tommy tried to find the minority report, I mistakenly thought that the truth of Anna Fuli’s killing was in the minority report, and the minority report was defined (if there is such a definition): three "prophets" judged together Does a person have a murder attempt. When there is a disagreement, the
decision is made according to the principle of the minority obeying the majority, but in the end, if the minority party is proved to be correct, a minority report will be kept secret. But in my opinion, there is no minority report at all. The three informed predictions are basically the same. The strongest prophet also said NO to him personally, and there is no The
mornityry report. When Tom was predicted to kill, he also hoped to get from An Jiasha's body that he thought "a minority report that would not kill", but in the end he was the same as the three told and predicted. If it is not prevented, it will definitely happen. , Although you can make a choice.

Second: The deleted report is a minority report, but it is also a "predicted crime report", not a "non-criminal report"

Regarding the murder of the female prophet’s mother Anna Fuli, the three prophets predicted differently at first. The twins predicted the first murder, while Angatha predicted the second murder, but because the pictures were extremely similar , The staff can't see the difference, although the crime prevention center has also successfully prevented the homicide from happening. Since the second murder case actually happened without being prevented, An Jiasha kept thinking about this scene, but was deleted by the staff as a so-called "echo". This deleted report is a minority report, which has been stored in An
Jiasha's body. So afterwards, the investigator got this report from the Prophet, pointing out the difference between the Prophet and the other two twins, and was shot by Rama when he raised questions.

Seeing this, we will be clear. In fact, the whole story goes around the "Minority Report" just to find a key point to prop up the whole situation, and the main idea is that the crime prevention center is really feasible and beneficial to the public? Let’s take a look at the final choice of Rama:

1. Killing Tom , the crime prevention center is feasible, but the rest of my life will be spent in pain (become a vegetative person, and continue to play the scene of the murder. , Forever painful)
2. If you don't kill Brother Atang, you declare that the crime prevention center is unreliable, and his efforts will be wasted,
but in the end he chose to commit suicide, and dare not say that such a decision was right. But at least it means that the prediction made by the Center for Crime Prevention is only a possibility. At least before the so-called person who is about to commit a crime is caught, he still has a few minutes to decide whether to commit a crime in the end. This is the least of the Center for Crime Prevention Reliable loopholes.


Finally, regarding the situation of Brother Atang’s being framed, I have never figured it out. I checked the comments of many netizens and only a few words were involved. Rama hired a prisoner, Ke Luo, to kill him. The child’s illusion is used to seduce Xiaotang to kill Koro. No matter what the process is, they will meet one day. He will be confused by the illusion and kill Koro. The appearance of these killings is predicted by the prophets. Xiao Tang will kill people, so Xiao Tang goes to hijack the prophet and find the innocent report. Only when he encounters Ke Luo due to various incidents, he has murderous intentions, which will cause the prediction center to call the police. This is very contradictory. Simply put it like this: You say I want to kill people, and I kill people because of your words. And if you don't say that I will not kill people, but your prediction is correct. I'm going crazy. . . .

Think too much head pain, sleep!

    A commercial film of very good standard. Although the story expressed will definitely usher in a lot of discussion logically, the end of the film still allows people to embrace free will. After all, it is not the past that can change, and the future that can be predicted will not be the future. . It’s just that the imagination of the film in 2002 has to be strengthened. Many of the things that were dazzling in 2002 have been realized and even commercialized ten years later.

    A very thoughtful future prediction, which is right and wrong, human beings are a special species, and the next second will be an unpredictable choice. The system can never be perfect, but the achievement of true justice and harmony is accomplished at the expense of the lives of a few people. Why not? Why are you afraid of not killing? I'm extreme. 3 and a half stars.
