Tom Cruise as Chief John Anderton MINORITY REPORT (2002) — dir. Steven Spielberg

[jimsmovieworld]

MINORITY REPORT- 2002 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

In the future, murder has become obsolete.

New technology helps the pre-crime police unit see murders before they happen allowing them to make a safe arrest.

When chief officer John Anderton (Tom Cruise) sees himself commit a future murder, he knows he's been set up and goes on the run from his own team, to solve the murder he hasnt committed yet....

Some fun scifi. Interesting visuals and a few good twists and turns. Slighly too long for me.

Directed by Steven Spielberg.

“Good Catholic boy like you? Figured you’d run the other way praying.” It’s a cheap shot and they both know it. This only serves to encourage Danny, who smiles, all teeth and faux-innocence just like that day in the temple.

so this is the  audeince   responce to Blade runner as underclass and cathilic idela of  makign  a god to  talk to  but also to reverse procreate the  empire within the catholithism to  negotiate with god 

 firs timpression  1968  student book reviews book form  1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep “  book name  change  and  concept  change - review of new name of  novel, “the blade  runner”, 1968 review first, about medical drama

The Bladerunner (also published as The Blade Runner) is a 1974 science fiction novel by Alan E. Nourse, about underground medical services and smuggling.

now if you think  1974 version was still about medical drama, in  a  7 year motif of  concpets  where  each  generation examine  blade runner

in 1982 when the movie was released, the  concept of :do robots  dream of  electronic sheep: was also an  “alien” francise, ellen ripley, usug the  robot  as an “underclass worker” who  does  function that  a free thinking human  cant posibly think of  like cell human body parts, sell of   a space ship as  alien  harvest, , but  were was the profit in  aliens, the  robot  does not  know of  profit, 

the

 in  the  prometheus concept was in  1968 as well but no  movie  studio would  do the o original 7 movies of   promeutues til the  :alien  got  popular:

, “where the  robots are  the  gods”, reversing the  1970  orgasm of popular culture of the movie producer, who wanted a tit and  arse movie of navy space marines  set in a post  “Full Metal Jacket” land  where

actually mention  1968 “Full Metal Jacket”  where a  human is  induced into a robot  state, that all learn, the underclass

dont move into  the  army, the  underclass are not in the  army

are they,

   where movies  demanded robots follow under class worker  rights, 

 how about 1985 , “Terminator” 

the robot is  god and is  re porgrammable , to talk to  god , or the  first  robots  didint  speak just followed orders, 

but found that humans were rebelling agains tthem being god, and so they  disguised  themselves as  sub human peopel as mations,

disguised as  moulded plastic robots in 1991  Judgement  day, 

in 1998, the  concept of  the  Terminator as reprogramable, with no parental trope til the Claire Daines army dad in the pentagon was extermintaed first , after pressing the  button to activate the “gods” 

the mias  touch of  terminator robots, 

 as each movie happens, and  the final movie  has the  orgams trope again,  where  we go  back to , do the   robots  dream of   android  sheep, 

so the  robots  have organs that make  babies, 

as the  premise  of going back to the  original story of   Blade runner is, 

“ a  rich man  makes an android version of their ex wife” the  ethical and consepquenctial effects of  humans born form sythetics humans”, in a   dystopia where old men have procreation robots, but they  dont  have anti rape your machine robots as well, 

so the logic is that if  a science facility has peopel making  prpcreation robots, shouldnt all the peopel workign in the  lab  be  steroilized so  they  dont   fall in love with the  robots, 

 so they  can  have  sex with the robot  forever, but,  eventually, if they live to  140  years, in the  movie  versions of robot  underclass workers,, 

when will the accidental children made with the  robot, andoid, human replicant, where will the  kids  grow up in a  post  dystopian world  where pwople ar emaking  robots to make the  next  generation

the  Catholic princalpal of  Dune in side  Bladerunner is  that, n child bornn of  a robot  should be before god, 

  also  “Judge Dredd’, 

and even tom cruise’s, movie,  Minority Report is a 2002 American science fiction action film directed by Steven Spielberg, ... The cast stars Tom Cruise as Precrime Chief John Anderton,

 where  robots were taks orientated, some robots were disneyifed and not  actually about  having a relationship with a robot, it was about a relacement family member, where the illusion the robot is a fake person is the concept of the  fake person, 

like the  Elon musk   experiment, where anyone who  wrote,  this robot is  a fake person is deleted form  Twitter history,

“this robot is  a fake person” test

 and “ this robot will never function in society” themes of cyber policing, onto the 

identity profiling of  internet  users who  are also online and  have a fake profile and are policing the fakenss of  robots they come across

that  fits too well with elon musks ideal of twitter where bots are 90% and real people are tricked into thinking the 10% of humans online are the  peopel we are interacting with< twitter, 2023,  

and

 will smiths movie,  about  different  versions of AI,

 “I, Robot”: but, oh yes there  were procreation, robots, so that poeple can have  sex with god and  bring angels into the world,     

i actually,  forgot  abotu  Oblivion in this  review, cos i forgot the  movies that  have  robots as  underclass workers

Tom Cruise as Jack Harper, Tech 49: a technician who works to repair drones on Earth and questions his mission.

there are other movies in the  list, but that is the  general idea to think about  when  watching blade runner2049

Minority Report philosophy

Minority Report (2002) is a film centred on free will, crime, and punishment. It features Tom Cruise as Chief John Anderton, who works for the PreCrime police. Anderton’s job is to arrest people who are going to commit crimes before they act, as predicted by specialised mutated humans, ‘precogs’. So much for ‘innocent until proven guilty’ . . .

The film’s narrative is predicated on the thesis of determinism: that all events are causally determined by past events. Would-be criminals are arrested to prevent their crimes from occurring as opposed to just dealing with the consequences.

Could this happen in real life? Well, the Universe seems to exhibit quite a lot of uncertainty when we probe it (e.g. quantum events are indeterminate). And reliable predictions would require extensive resources given the complexity of the human mind and our many interactions with our external environments.

Nonetheless, Minority Report may not be far away. Traditionally, justice has roots in the idea of retribution (i.e. punishment). But, in many countries today (e.g. Norway), rehabilitation is valued highly as a means to prevent crimes already.

Many philosophers also believe that there is no such thing as free will (e.g. because our actions are governed by the laws of nature). In such a case punishment should cease to be a thing because people wouldn’t be responsible for actions the Universe determined for them. Society would be an interesting place. How would you feel seeing criminals, like Anders Breivik in his ‘humane prison’, unpunished?

As Derk Pereboom argues, if people can’t be held morally responsible for their actions, we should relinquish reactive attitudes, moving from resentment to sadness, from blame to a will to learn about others, from guilt to regret, and from gratitude to thankfulness.

Love would remain, for, in itself, it never required responsibility.

The Minority Report

Minority report lies on the Drama, mystery and fiction genre produced in 2002 with the outstanding play of Tom Cruise as the chief officer of the precrime department. The whole movie revolves around John Anderton and proving the accuracy of the pre crime department. Thanks to precrime, 90% of the crimes are predicted prior to happening with the help of three precogs who are psychics. In other words, the person who wants to attempt the crime gets arrested and there’s a lot of controversy around this system since you kind of get caught for the crime you haven't technically done! YET! And that leaves you confused while asking yourself whether that makes sense or not because even if someone has a knife on their hand pointing at another person suddenly something can come up and change the whole story! The climax of the story is when precogs foretell a murder getting done by the Chief officer, John Anderton and he doesn’t even know the victim. Therefore, he starts escaping from the DC and tries to figure out the reason behind him being set up for a murder.

Throughout the story it is shown how John struggles in his personal life since he lost his little son at a public pool and got divorced from his beloved wife. Moreover, the main reason he joined the precrime department was for the sake of other people not going through the same pain of grief as he did.

Under the influence of technology various aspects of people’s lifestyle has shifted and made living faster and harder. For instance, The citizens are constantly monitored and recognized, highways are built in the sky and removing your eyeballs is all it takes to change your identity and that gets done as easy as a piece of cake!

In my opinion, everything was filmed very prescriptively and professionally and I enjoyed every second of it and how it made viewers either hate the movie or love it!

I am a futuristic person therefore I enjoyed watching how our theories today can possibly get implemented in the future. The virtual world The Minority Report tries to draw is not far from reality and I even believe ours is going to be much better and cooler!

I loved how extreme long shots were taken in the movie to cover as much detail as possible and deliver the proper message and feeling to the viewer. To addmore, the whole idea of new tech and precrime ideas entertained me a lot; however, I’m still disappointed about the fact that humankind would still take actions or make decisions based on their own benefits even if it involves ending an innocent life.

I’d like to also mention a few film techniques that caught my eyes such as the props, customs and color. The whole film had a blue and grey dark tone which gave me a sense of darkness and fear along with everything that surrounded the actors from the customs they wore to the environment of John’s home and office. For example, The physical layout of John’s home made me feel his loneliness and the hardship he was going through.

Overall, despite everyone I liked the movie a lot and I’d like to watch more such films. Rate: 4.4/5

Film Review: Minority Report

By: Kyra E.

My Rating: 6/10

This is a dystopian film that combines film noir and science fiction. Taking place in Washington during the year of 2054, we follow the story of Chief John Anderton of the ‘Precrime Division’ and how he navigates in a society full of advanced technology and ‘pre-crime’.

Corporate control is immediately shown by the division through their advertising. The commercial being broadcast talks about how amazing Precrime is, and how it means there will never be another murder again. It plays into the emotions of the society by using the good word from family members of those murdered in the past. However, it ignores the moral dilemma that this type of justice system brings: should people be arrested for committing a crime that they have not committed yet?

“The fact that you prevented it from happening doesn't change the fact that it was going to happen.” - John Anderton (Tom Cruise)

Precrime technology is not yet national, but the Division is trying to convince the Justice Department to make it national. Chief John Anderton has to convince agent Danny Witwer that the program is reliable and should go national. At the same time, we are introduced to the technology of Precognitives (or Precogs). ‘Precogs’ are people who have visions of the future. In the Precrime Division’s facility three of these ‘precogs’ are kept alive in a nutrition tank, hooked up to the division's computers so that they are able to see their visions. These precognitive people are being dehumanized, creating the sense of a dysfunctional society in the film.

We soon see the technological control that the ‘Precogs’ have, and why it is an issue. When John is set up to make it look like he is going to murder a man named Leo Crow through one of the precognitive visions, agent Witwer sends the rest of the division to arrest him. John is able to narrowly escape.

"The Precogs are never wrong. But, occasionally... they do disagree." - Dr. Iris Hinman (Lois Smith)

John Anderton seeks out Dr. Iris Hineman, the woman who helped develop ‘Precrime’ technology. She tells John that there have been minority reports between the Precogs in which not all of them saw the exact same vision. To prove his innocence John decides that he has to find proof of a minority report.

“That's all, huh? Just walk right into Precrime, go in the Temple, somehow tap into these Precogs, and then download this Minority Report.” - John Anderton (Tom Cruise)

In order to not be caught in the process John has to swap out his eyes. Another type of cyber-genetic technology that the film portrays are these specialized eyes, which are attached to people’s identities and create personalized advertisements. John is able to successfully swap out his eyes in order to hide his identity.

John Anderton breaks into the ‘Precrime’ facility and kidnaps the most gifted ‘Precog’, Agatha. From there, he takes her to a hacker who can help him find the minority report. The hacker tells him that he cannot find the minority report that John is looking for. Agatha finally tells John that he does not have a minority report. John and Agatha find out that Leo Crow (the man who John is supposed to murder) is in a hotel nearby. Fueled by determination and curiosity, John goes into the hotel and finds Crow’s room despite Agatha’s protests. He does not believe that he will kill this man that he has never met. That is until he finds evidence in the room that Leo Crow kidnapped and murdered John’s late son, Sean.

“Everyday for the last six years I've thought of only two things. The first is what Sean would look like if he were alive today, if I would recognize him if I saw him on the street, the second is what I would do to the man who took him if I ever found him. You're right... I'm not being set up.”  - John Anderton (Tom Cruise)

When Leo Crow shows up in his room John makes the difficult decision not to kill the man, but arrest him instead. Crow gets upset, and says that he wants John to kill him. He explains that a man promised to give his family money if he let himself be framed and get killed. Despite there not being a minority report, somebody was in fact trying to trick John. Crow grabs Anderton’s gun and kills himself before John can stop him. 

“Listen, if you don't go through with this my family gets nothing, okay? You're supposed to kill me. Just like he said you would.” - Leo Crow (Mike Binder)

At the end of the film the plot becomes confusing. John and Agatha escape his ex-wife Lara’s house. There, Agatha shows John how her mother was murdered. We find out that the director of the ‘Precrime’ Division (Lamar Burgess) killed Agatha’s mother, Lively, when she tried to reclaim custody of Agatha. At the same time we are shown Agent Witwer, who is suspicious of the supposed murder that Anderton committed. Because of this he also studies the murder of Lively, and realizes that two different attempts of murder were made. The first attempted murder of Lively was stopped by the ‘Precrime’ Division, but the second attempt was not. This leads Witwer to tell the director of the division, Lamar Burgess, about Lively’s strange murder. Burgess causes the Precogs to go offline and kills Witwer when he discovers that the murderer was him.

“You see the dilemma, don't you? If you don't kill me, Precogs were wrong and Precrime is over. If you do kill me, you go away, but it proves the system works. Precogs were right. So, what are you gonna do now? What's it worth?” - John Anderton (Tom Cruise)

Anderton is able to escape, but Agatha is found and taken back to the ‘pre-crime’ division. The Precogs report that Burgess is going to murder Anderton, while Anderton confronts Burgess about the murder of Lively. Although the director tries to convince Anderton to take his side, telling him that he could not let Lively take Agatha from the pre-crime division, Anderton does not give in. Director Burgess feels trapped, because if he kills John he will go to jail, but if he does not then the precognitive technology he helped develop is wrong. The director ends up killing himself.

“In 2054, the six-year Precrime experiment was abandoned. All prisoners were unconditionally pardoned and released, though police departments kept watch on many of them for years to come. Agatha and the twins were transferred to an undisclosed location, a place where they could find relief from their gifts.”  - John Anderton (Tom Cruise)

Minority Report is a film that is successful in some ways, but unsuccessful in others. The film successfully portrayed the dystopian idea of (imperfect) technology taking over. It makes us fear that society will eventually rely too much on technology and may somehow turn on us or backfire one day and cause huge consequences. Not only is it entertaining, but the camerawork and film noir style are beautiful. However, this film’s plot is confusing at several points, and the dialogue can feel forced at some points.

Minority Report

Minority Report is, simply put, not enjoyable. This movie about someone falsely accused of a crime plays out pretty much like any other movie with that premise, just with semi futuristic mumbo jumbo thrown into the mix. 

Minority Report is a story of an eerie future, where three pre-cogs, strange people who have a gift of being able to see the future, are used by the police to see murders before they happen, in order to prevent the murders and arrest the would-be criminals. The system appears to work flawlessly, until it accuses the Chief of Police, John Anderton, of murdering a man he has never met before. It is eventually revealed that the pre-cogs do not always agree, and that the video feed from the one that disagrees, the Minority Report, is wiped from storage and never seen again. Anderton runs, and tries to investigate and find out if the pre-cogs can ever be wrong. He finds out that they can be, but in his case they are not, and he ends up committing the murder he was accused of. Uhhh idk how the movie finishes i wasnt even here ngl.

With a premise of seeing the future to prevent crime, you would think that this movie would be great, or at the very least somewhat interesting to watch. But somehow, through a combination of the stereotypical action movie tropes that might have been original in 2002, but seem horribly outplayed now, and the bland 2 color palette throughout the whole movie, it all just ends up putting you to sleep. 

Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise. He has had amazing roles, and he has had Scientology. This movie is not him at his worst, but the role he plays is bland, to the point where even the main character’s name is boring. John. Probably the blandest name in history. The rest of the roles in the movie, despite being filled by a wide variety of actors, from well known to relatively unknown, are even more forgettable than the plot, considering that most of the screen time is given to Tom Cruise. All this pans out into what could possibly be in the running for most generic acting in a movie to date.

The premise might have been great. It might have had studio execs with their jaws on the floor, in awe of how cool this movie could be. Yet the execution was not really there. The bland color palette, the generic action tropes, the generic story, the forgettable acting, all of this boils down to this movie being jotted down in my memory as “just some Tom Cruise movie”.
