Just finished watching Minority Report. The idea is not very mature. But say it and see.
Spielberg has a lot to say. I think it's mainly the following layers:
The first layer of meaning is: In the future, predicting crime is technically possible. Advances in technology have enabled humans to predict upcoming crimes.
The second level of meaning: predicting that criminal behavior in the future will produce different results. People may or may not be killed. (Tom Cruise has already decided not to kill that person. That person took Tom Cruise's hand and pulled the trigger.) However, some people use artificial means to create what is about to happen." the only outcome of criminal behavior” and thus convince the population of the accuracy of the agencies that predict crime. No matter how advanced, sophisticated and intelligent technology is, it is always controlled by people, and people are the most variable factor. Human behavior will affect and interfere with the outcome of future events, making future events develop in a bad direction. In a future where crime can be predicted, people are unpredictable and still full of blood and filth.
Level 3: At the end the bad chief says to Tom Cruise, "I have other options" and kills himself. This is the most shocking scene. The bad director finally found his conscience and gave up killing Tom Cruise, but apologized to death. This was a result that even the prophets never predicted. In the future, people will follow their own hearts, their own will, and do unforeseen things.
The past has already happened, and one cannot change the past. But in the future, people have unlimited possibilities.
Final conclusion: Seemingly perfect human technology will always have flaws. The defect may come from the technical level, or it may come from the hearts of people who can't stand the bewitching.
But things in the future haven't happened yet, and people's good and evil are still between a single thought. Humans have the power to make the world a better place by changing their behavior.
If it is more concise, it is: in the future, human beings can predict crimes, but the results of criminal behaviors cannot be accurately determined, because human behaviors have infinite possibilities in the future. Between good and evil.
