Before reading the original book, I want to briefly sort out my thoughts on the movie I just watched. (Very spoiler
1. Why did the film unconditionally release all arrested "criminals" at the end?
First of all, why did they get arrested before committing a crime, because everyone believes that the murder of those people is bound to happen, whether it is the foresight of the three "prophets" (science) or the visual impact of the scene when the murder is prevented. For example, catching rape (feeling) at the beginning of the film.
But just as Danny from the Ministry of Justice questioned in the film, legally speaking, the murder did not happen, and those who were predicted to be the murderers were not at fault and could not be arrested for it. Some people may think that they can’t wait for the murderer to actually kill people before they are brought to justice, but the innocent person who did not kill in the end cannot be called justice, because first, the prediction may be wrong, and second, even if the prediction is correct, it may be People use "echoes" to commit crimes.
The predictions of the three prophets will also have multiple versions. Among them, the predictions that are different from the other two (that is, minority reports) will be destroyed, but there is only one fact, so in fact, the prophets will also make mistakes. The minority obeys the majority and not necessarily all Time is the right choice, but the action team will capture the worst possible and overreact. After all, everyone wants world peace (especially the captain who has experienced the pain of losing a child).
Even if the god is not wrong, the sacrifice is not perfect. The old man who established a mechanism to prevent murder relied on people's superstitious and fake scenarios foreseen by the prophets to intentionally kill and get away with it, and intentionally frame the male protagonist to kill. Those caught are just scapegoats.
2. Why did the old man commit suicide in the end?
(Because the story needs hahahaha)
because
"You still have choices"
"You still have choices"
For the first time, the female prophet told the male protagonist that she has seen the future where the fake murderer will die, but still hopes that the male protagonist will not choose to kill him. The countdown to watch the murder has come, and the male protagonist chose to restrain his emotions and choose to let him go. , Let the law judge him. This time it was the awakening of "rationality".
(But the fake murderer is still dead. It feels a bit fatalistic. It makes some twists and turns and needs a happy ending)
The second time, the male lead told the old man that he had been pointed at by the ruined old man. The old man knew that his actions of turning humans into prophets and imprisoning them as objects were inhumane, and he also knew the flaws of this system. He finally chose to overcome the dark side of humanity (intentionally or unintentionally letting go of the male protagonist's wife who knew the truth is a warning that he has not completely lost his humanity), and shot himself to break the prophet’s aura of "never missed". This Once was the awakening of humanity.
3. Some associations
Although the background of the film is based on the prediction of the future, there are no functions that may change the timeline, such as crossing, and there are not too many bugs, right?
PS is a bit like changing the future version of Asimov's "Eternal End"
PPS is a bit like the condensed non-circular version of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." Seasons 5 and 6
ppps is a bit like "Blade Runner" environment and room layout
Sugar-free original
