Another Tomboy movie, suddenly summed up some of Spielberg's film characteristics: thought-provoking, rich in imagination, gorgeous and realistic.

The film opens with an arrest scene, a murder that is successfully prevented, and illustrates to the audience what a crime prevention "precrime" is like. Then, John discovered that the prophet foretold his crime, and then he kept running away to find the truth. The main part of the film is this part of the process of seeking the truth. Tom, in the film, is portrayed as a police officer with a very capable and unfortunate family, who needs drugs every day to relieve his miss of his wife and children. When John said, "I don't know him at all," I "guessed" that Paul was the killer who kidnapped John's son, and it wasn't until John didn't shoot that I realized that's what the writers wanted everyone to think. Danny, who originally thought he was the villain, also found out that he was just a policeman looking for justice. It was only then that the real man behind the scenes was revealed. The film ends with a happy ending, which is no regrets. The cancellation of "precrime" should also reflect a kind of human concern. The three "prophets" are also flesh and blood, so they are also secretly placed in the end. At the end of the film, Rama - the mastermind behind the scenes, finally chose to turn the gun to commit suicide, and made a result that was different from the prophet's expectation, which also hinted that the prophet's prediction might not be right, because the client would make a different choice, and Pre-arrest before a crime is committed may result in false arrest. Acquiring all detainees, I guess this is an interpretation of "attempt".

ps. I once again sighed at the handsomeness of the young Tom, but I personally think that the old ones are more flavorful. Looking forward to 2020Top Gun 2

pps. I forgot to talk about the light and shadow of the movie. The prophet predicts that the picture has always been presented in a fast manner in a vague dark color, reflecting a sense of chaos. Secondly, the overall atmosphere of the movie is dark, so there will be a feeling of depression when watching it. There is only a certain amount of warm and bright colors used in John's recollection of the good times with his family, and later the scene of his return to the lake with his wife.
