A movie like conveyor belt sushi, a Hollywood blockbuster with various elements mixed together. As a wonderful sci-fi suspense film, there are still logical loopholes, and it is still unfinished!

The story is very good. If you are watching it for the first time, it is quite enjoyable to follow the plot and clues to reason. Don't open the barrage to watch it, and don't be spoiled.

In fact, this is a sci-fi suspense, crime, magic, and reality-revealing film. On the surface, it looks like a sci-fi suspense film, but the performances of the people in it all seem to have come out of medieval fantasy novels. They built a house called the "Temple" and called the prophets prophets. The characters inside are black market merchants who sell ice on the street like ferrymen, prison guards who talk like a goblin, Dr. Heyman who talks like an old witch, and nervous like shamans and goddesses. The most important thing for the clinic doctor is the prophet who is as startled as a mental patient. If the story happened at Hogwarts, I wouldn't find it inconsistent at all.

In addition to the main story, there are all kinds of insignificant episodes, the same bridges as Mission Impossible, the fights and searches in the slums, the life in the slums, the advertisements in the shopping malls, the introduction of the dream city, and various comedy bridges. The film also covers crime issues, gun issues, drug issues, child abduction issues, official corruption issues, theological issues, philosophical issues, the gap between the rich and the poor, the rule of law and many other elements. Although this may seem to detract from the theme of the story, it is a commercial film after all, and the audience likes to watch it.

The film actually allows the decent male protagonist to take drugs, combined with a kind of melancholy and deep fatherly love, I really don't know if the person who arranges this is a brain. Oh, I see, the people of the beautiful country actually think that drug use is nothing at all.

The final outcome was also unfinished. The director committed suicide, the Prevention Bureau was disbanded, the unemployed male protagonist reunited with his ex-wife and had another child, and then the prophets were exiled to a remote isolated island for them to live. Live a "normal" life. Forced to draw a satisfactory "Hollywood" full stop to the film.

There are also two logical loopholes:

Continue to use the Bureau of Prevention, and the crime rate in the United States will not rise. Society will be very stable, and the prophets will not have nightmares every night.

Even if the future can be changed, there is no problem with this system. Isn’t this system that prophets can predict the future? Since you are called the Crime Prevention Bureau, can't you just prevent it? Why have to go up to the philosophical question of whether to condemn people? If you have problems and loopholes, you need to find a way to fix them. If the reform is not good, it is not necessary to dissolve. Isn't it just fooling the audience with such an ending? You can't learn from China. If you choose to give up the crime, you can take it back to the prison and detain it for 7 days to get some education on the rule of law. If you have attempted a crime, you should be sentenced as an attempted crime.

    Looks good! The creativity is already incredible, and there are no lack of all the elements of commercial films, and the soup is still very handsome. Stunning plot reversals time and time again, although this setting will definitely have some loopholes, it is really satisfying. "I'm tired of seeing the future".

Minority Report quotes

  • John Anderton: Why should I trust you?

    Dr. Iris Hineman: You shouldn't. You shouldn't trust anyone. Certainly not the Attorney General who just wants it all for himself, and not the young Federal agent, who wants your job. Not even the old man who just wants to hold on to what he created. Don't trust anyone. Just find the Minority Report.

  • John Anderton: [a dream sequence, Anderton is at the pool with his son as his son is coming up while holding his breath underwater] 25.26 seconds. That's a new record.

    Younger Sean: Is it a world record.

    John Anderton: Is it a world? It's your personal best.

    Younger Sean: Let's try you.

    John Anderton: What? Are you kidding me? There is no way that I can beat 25.26 seconds.

    Younger Sean: How long can a whale hold it's breath underwater?

    John Anderton: A whale can hold it's breath for about 20 minutes.

    Younger Sean: You gotta beat the whale.

    John Anderton: [his son gets out of the water as he is getting in] Here we go Sean. It could take 20 minutes, are you sure you don't want to get some ice cream or something?

    Younger Sean: No. Ready dad?

    John Anderton: Ready.

    [kisses Sean as he goes underwater, as he is underwater, the watch suddenly drops into the water, then he comes back up]

    John Anderton: Sean? Sean? Sean?

    [looking around]

    John Anderton: Have you seen my son, have you seen a kid in a red bathing suit? Sean? Have you seen my son, he was wearing a red bathing suit? Sean?

    [wakes up screaming]

    John Anderton: SEEEAAANNN!
