Minority Report

The first scene of the movie happened that Tom Cruise play the character as John Anderton, a Washington,D.C detective in the year 2054. John Anderton works for ‘Precrime”, a special unit of the police department that bases its work on the visions of three psychics or "precogs" whose prophecies of future events are never in error and arrests murderers before they have committed the actual crime.. The second part of the movie shows Anderton’s life, after his son missing right in his eyes; it was difficult for the wife to accept the fact, causing his wife separated with him. When Anderton discovers that he has been identified as the future killer of a man he's never met, he is forced to become a fugitive from his own colleagues as he tries to uncover the mystery of the victim-to-be's identity. When he kidnaps Agatha (Samantha Morton), one of the precog, he begins to formulate a theory about a possible frame-up from within his own department. Directed by Steven Spielberg, who hired a team of futurists to devise the film's numerous technologically advanced gadgets, Minority Report co-stars Colin Farrell, Max von Sydow, and Neal McDonough.The story was ended with Anderton and Lamar on a balcony, Lamar decided to commit suicide to protect precrime. Finally, precrime was dismantled; Anderton reunites with Lara (shown pregnant with their second child) and, lived happily; while the three precogs continued their lives peacefully, far out on a remote island, where they can no longer be troubled by future visions.

The movie mainly enlightened me that “space follow function”. The believably advanced landscape and technology. The car can move in any direction due to the well planned access way. The technologies impress me the most in this movie. The Driverless cars which could be commanded by the police to deliver their occupant to their police station, the Iris recognition system which tracked the movements of all citizens, and were also used for authentication and payment, and to deliver highly targeted advertising to passers-by, Mobile surveillance robots which swarm through a building and use iris recognition to find a sought person. In the future, I believe that this well planned city is needed to fulfil the demand of over population in this world.

The massage that bring to me from this movie is we must control our desires or else it will be disastrous and We must think rationally when we make decisions.For an example: The scence when Anderton and Lamar at the balcony. Anderton has warned Lamar about the precrime system as if Lamar murder Anderton then people will not accept the precrime system. So in the end of the story, Lamar has committed suicide to protect it system.
