After Watching the Movie


In the film Minority Report, all things are described in future imaginatively. The story was about a police officer John ( Tom Cruise) of The Prevent Crime Department. There was a system which can predict the not-too-distant-futuer and the police can prevent crime occurs, citizens in the USA believed in this system to be no flaw. The system is mainly controlled by three "seers" ( actually they are "genius" who are chosen for this system ). One day John "saw" that he will kill a man he doesn't know after 36 hours , he was searched by the police and he escaped and search for help. And he knew that one of the "seers" are the key to prove him to be innocent. Step by Step, John realized that he was leading to a trap, and this was relavent to the female "seer" 's mother whom was murded and the murderer was not found. Finally, the murderer was John's boss , Lamar, he killed the female seer's mum, whom wanted to bring her daughter back, in order to retain the precrime system. At last, Lamar was predicted to kill John, the mast minute Lamar chose to committed suicide instead of murdering John or being arrested. The Prevent Crime Department was cancelled and released everyone , including the seers.

What I can learn is that " Future may not be actually predicted and it can be changed by yourself". John and Lamar nearly comitted the crime which was predicted. But they change at the last minute, as we know, the crime was only predicted and it had not occured at that time. And is that good to put the people whom did not comit the crime into prison and let the "genius " foresee the crime and take away their freedom and make use of their "talent"? No, I do not agree of it.
