Minority report

Last night, I watched the film Minority Report. I'm always excited when watching film like this. After watching, I want to say something.

First about science. In the film, Wilter asked: Does this system have any flaw? Anderton answered: No, PreCogs never make mistakes. It's perfect. Wilter replied: I know, but even the best system has its flaw. That's human. I agree. I think high-tech doesn't have mistakes, but different men use the same high-tech, may cause different results. For example, the police in the film, use the tech to prevent crimes, but the major use the tech to kill the people that stand in his way to success, money, fame, and power. So whether science is good or not, it's hard to say. It depends on people use it. When justice has high-tech, injustice also has.

Second, about the past. In the film, the past is the source of fear. Chief Anderton lived in the shadow of the death of his son, he even try to get not afraid by taking drugs. The major Larma also suffer from stress that caused by killing Anne Lively. I can say that most of the story is about the revenge of Anderton and the cover of Larma. I suddenly think of the film The Dark Knight Rises. In the film, there's a saying: to conquer fear, you have to become fear itself. And at last, Anderton get over, he and his wife get a new baby.

Third, I want to talk about future. Even though PreCogs can predict everyone's future, but sometimes people can change their futures. For example, Anderton didn't kill the man appeared in PreCogs' prediction. Larma didn't kill Anderton though it happened in PreCogs' prediction. So all that I wanna say about future, is everyone can change their future. Maybe you're not good at the moment, but you can try, you can change yourself, so that you can live a better life in the future. When you are in an awful situation, and you think you won't get over, please calm, and let your wisdom wash your emotions away, cause..."You still have choices". On the other hand, the way police do, is a kind of crime, cause it deprives people's rights to control, or change his or her own future.

At last, I want to talk about our eyes. Do you think what you see is all true? Damn that's wrong. In the film, people just believe in major, and trust his worlds. "There won't be any crime!" But there still is. And mostly done by him. People are blind in some ways. But Anderton finally get everything clear. He is not blind though one of his eyes are broken. And at the beginning of this film, The drug seller said " in the land of blind, the one-eyed man is king", so we can say that Anderton is the king of that time.

So can you say that"All I see, with my eyes--the window of my mind--is true"? Please think about
