Most of the elements involved in science fiction movies are often relatively single, often science fiction plus love, science fiction plus action such a binary model, the deep internal force of "Minority Report" is first reflected in the breakthrough of this science fiction binary model. In Minority Reports, science fiction, action, and suspense come together. It is precisely because the creators take the element of suspense as the main narrative line of the story, and then use science fiction to explain the suspense, which makes "Minority Report" less hard and more acceptable than the common science fiction and suspense film dramas. At the same time, the action scenes added by Spielberg become a tool for adjustment, and the three elements are organically integrated, which greatly enhances the watchability of "Minority Report", and makes the story structure appear relaxed and layered. In general, the three elements are harmoniously integrated, and each type of element has its own uniqueness separately. The uniqueness of suspense and science fiction in the film lies in the introduction of this suspense. All the stories of "Minority Report" are triggered by the "prophet" system, that is, the trigger point of the suspense of this film is science fiction, which makes this film different from the background of science fiction as the core of the same type of film, this film is more like thinking about technology itself, even if there is no pure formal discussion of this type of proposition as "The Matrix", but the method of using technology as the starting point of suspense invisibly focuses on science and technology, not ostentatious but still in place.
The uniqueness of science fiction and suspense is more due to Dick's original novel, and the uniqueness and excellence of the action elements almost come from Spielberg's excellent design. In the science fiction movie full of flying car collisions and high-tech weapon battles, Si Shi broke through the siege with a little improvement. His anti-plane motion of the car scene, combined with the background setting of the film, the car scene is set to vertical motion, this small improvement is a breakthrough, which makes the car chase scene in "Minority Report" not only has the same sense of speed confrontation as other movies, but also allows The male protagonist Anderton played by Tom Cruise to jump vertically under the influence of gravity, providing more possibilities for the occurrence of action. The good part of the action part is not only that it may be more and more beautiful, but also that the trigger of each action scene is dominated by various environmental factors, such as the mechanical arm on the assembly line of the Lexus factory, and these impressive objects do not appear out of thin air, but are supported by the environment. Such finesse stems from Spielberg's constant discussions with the film's vast advisory board, which reflects the strong internal strength of The Minority Report.
If you could have a superpower, which would you choose?
I will definitely choose the ability to foresee the future, so that I can rely on the lottery ticket to run a well-off.
But is it really that good to have the ability to foresee the future?
Will I foresee the death of my loved one and not be able to prevent it?
In fact, foreseeing the future itself is a paradox, as a foreshadower, you can only observe, but you cannot change.
Just as the sharpest spear and the hardest shield cannot exist at the same time, the ability to foresee the future may not be a blessing, but a torture.
If you want to see such a brain-burning masterpiece, then the movie "Minority Report" you must not miss.
Minority reporting
Minority Report(2002)
Directed By: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Tom Cruise / Colin Farrell / Max von Sudo
"Minority Report", directed by Spielberg and starring Atang Ge, won the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film with its luxurious lineup and infinite brain holes.
Fast forward to 2054, and three "prophets" were found on which the Center for Crime Prevention was established.
The so-called Crime Prevention Center is to control the perpetrators before the murders occur.
And it all revolves around three "prophets", who are made half-asleep and half-awake with anesthetics, leaving them with only the ability to predict murders.
In the six years since the Center for Crime Prevention was founded, there has not been a single homicide in Washington, D.C., and even the incidence of murders has dropped significantly.
But the "prophet" is also a human being after all, and the crime prevention center's incarceration of the "prophet" has been accused by the American Humanitarian Committee.
They sent FBI agent Witto to look for flaws in an attempt to dismantle the Crime Prevention Center.
In the film, Witto says: "Power is no longer the oracle itself, but in the sacrifice, they even fake the oracle." ”
Knowing that the crime prevention system was perfect, Wittel pointed the finger at John, the director of the Crime Prevention Center.
John once had a happy family, but the unexpected disappearance of his son Sean led to his divorce from his wife and his daily drug addiction outside of work.
By chance, John was alone with three "prophets."
The only female "prophet" Agatha, who escaped the control of the drug, hugged John and showed him a blurry image.
Based on this image, John discovered flaws in the crime prevention system.
Normally, three "prophets" would make exactly the same predictions, but in very few cases.
The only female prophet, Agatha, would make completely different predictions from the other two.
In order to maintain the perfect image of the crime prevention system, the system's founders had to obey the majority in the minority, ignoring Agatha's predictions and deleting her report.
Meanwhile, Wittel discovers the drugs john has been taking for a long time in John's home, and finally finds a loophole that can be exploited.
Unaware of this, John continued to search for the perpetrator, as usual, based on the predictions provided by the Prophet.
However, in this prediction made by the Prophet, he saw himself kill a person he did not know at all.
The three "prophets" also gave clear predictions that the perpetrator of this murder was John himself.
Whether John actually killed someone he didn't know, or whether someone else framed him, you can only find out after reading this brain-deep Minority Report.
Spielberg's "Minority Report" perfectly combines the future and the past.
The film has both a bridge section showing the magical prophecy ability of the "prophet" and several protagonists exploring the past, making the rhythm of the whole movie very tight.
The superb acting skills of several leading actors have added a lot to the film, making "Minority Report" one of the most exciting sci-fi suspense movies ever made.
"Minority Report" is not only a film that gives the audience sensory stimulation, but also contains thought-provoking educational significance.
I really like a line from the movie: "All creatures are like this, when threatened, when stress comes, every creature is concerned with only one thing, and that is their own survival." ”
In order to survive, people try to use the past and manipulate the future, but they do not know that only the present can be controlled.
The intersection of the future and the past is the present, the road of the past has been completed, and the road of the future is still unknown.
There is no contradiction between the future and the past, but precisely because there is a past, there is a future, which is exactly what the Minority Report tells us in 145 minutes.
Minority reports are science fiction + action + thriller + suspense, all the business elements are complete, but in the end it is only left for us to think about a question, the past, present and future, if we face, how to choose. The film illustrates a point that we will analyze:
I can't remember the names of the people, so I replace them with these characters. The policeman, the wife, the son, the old man.
Multiple choice question 1: The son is lost, this is the past, the police have chosen not to forget the past, and the wife can not walk out of the shadows, so the two people cannot go to a better future. In the end, the two people finally returned to normal life, and the wife was pregnant again, all of which foreshadowed a better future. The good and the pain of the past are all in the past and cannot be changed, but the future can be created, so what matters is the choice of the present.
Choice 2: The doctor who operated on the police, who used to be a criminal, the police arrested him, but he did not retaliate against the police in the end, he chose to let go of the past and live again.
Multiple Choice Question 3: There was a homeless man who buried a foreshadowing, "In the world of the blind, the one-eyed dragon is the king." So after the spider found the police, the police knew that they would be blind in less than 12 hours to remove the bandage, but chose to lose an eye, and the one-eyed dragon was better than the cage.
Multiple choice question 4: The old man kills people in order to achieve his own purposes, which is his choice, but the future is getting worse and worse.
Multiple Choice Question 5: The old man's final choice is death, Multiple Choice Question 4 is wrong, the more you go wrong, and you can only end everything with the end of yourself.
Therefore, the film's point of view: the past, the present, the future, the most important thing is the present, the past will only affect the present, the future is full of variables, everything depends on the choice of the present, so in the popular phrase - "live in the present".
