This is undoubtedly another successful work by Spielberg, both artistically and commercially. When I watched it 6 years ago, I thought it was a sci-fi movie, but now I watch it again, and I have some new ideas:
1. Prophets are almost god-like existences to people, and their expectations for divinity often have many negative effects, as mentioned in the film: "The power is not in the oracle itself, but in the priests, they even fake oracles ". This reminds me that for thousands of years, the Chinese people have always had an incomparable longing for a "good emperor", and held the "one emperor through the ages" to a god-like status, whether it is the emperor's subordinates who are criminals, or the emperor's old man is occasionally confused, They have brought immeasurable consequences, but the people still love them deeply. It is estimated that this is what Westerners do not understand. Therefore, I think that the importance of contemporary system construction in the "Chinese Dream" requires the "goodness" of human nature, rather than pursuing the perfection of the system.
2. Although the crime prediction system has flaws that are exploited by others, the entire system is still effective (there has been no homicide in the past six years), and it can continue to operate according to our ideas, not to mention that the judicial system cannot be at all. To be 100% free from wrongful convictions, and the chances of the system itself being used by others are extremely small. But why do Westerners prefer to abandon it? In recent decades, neo-liberal thoughts have emerged in Europe and the United States, and they have begun to reflect on the rights that the minority should have! Whenever democratic issues come up, we have always asked the minority to obey the majority, so we can only sacrifice the demands of the minority. In this regard, capitalist society is ahead of us, but this point also seems to bring some efficiency problems. For example, the high-speed rail plan in the United States has been planned for so many years, because the opposition of some people has been lingering there... So in Europe and the United States The popularity of high-tech is sometimes not as fast as the third world. Knowing this, I suddenly understand why science fiction films like "X-Men" are more popular in the United States, why there are so many mavericks in the United States, and the public is more tolerant of them than other countries. much more.
