Why does Spielberg love making commercials so much?

In fact, the whole film is about a question, if the technology can be advanced enough to predict the crime that will happen, should we arrest him in advance, and the film denies such an approach through the three murders in the film.

The first murder in chronological order, the police boss kills the prophet's mother through a loophole in the system, this is the deepest hidden line in the film, this case, as far as I see it, represents the person in power through power and understanding of the system And the crimes committed have also revealed the fact that there is no perfect system.

The second murder is actually a very strange event, that is, the murder occurred because of the existence of foreknowledge, whether it is possible to exist, that is to say, if the ball produced by the foreknowledge does not appear, the crime can cease to exist, Then this ball can also be said to be one of the murderers. Speaking of this, it can actually be found that the foreseeing the future in the movie is not the same as the future. Even the minority report that appeared has denied this. It only pointed out the possibility of the future. If it is changed through future information, then What was the future foreseen at that time? In fact, many film and television works and books have discussed this concept, but it is obvious that the minority report does not cover this point at all, so I will not list it for the time being.

The third murder became suicide, and it was the most direct denial of such a system, that true prophecy does not exist, and what can be predicted and can be changed is not the future at all.

When an exquisite sci-fi idea is wrapped in the skin of a commercial film, I don't think the effect is very good. The whole movie Tom is more like a tool person, without reflection on the system and without distinctive character characteristics, it just happened. Things move forward, when a tool man manipulated by the plot.

There are also those abrupt twists created for the sake of plot conflict. Aside from the sci-fi concept in the movie, I don't think this is a good movie in the true sense.

    As a science fiction ten years ago, the imagination is very powerful, the structure is compact, the suspense is repeated, and the story is smooth. Of course, this kind of science fiction film cannot be thought about carefully, there are always loopholes of this kind. However, the various plot reversals and the imagination of the future high-tech are still quite fascinating. But in essence, behind the science fiction is the questioning of human nature and morality. Even if the prophet foresaw the imminent crime, how can you convict people based on it?

    There are sci-fi, in-depth, and high-level commercial films, but the prophet is overused.

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!
