REVIEW of Minority Report

The film shows the theme obviously about the prophecy and the reality in the future, when someone can predict the future through several of methods to prevent crime. It can’t be defined as a good thing but this is a subjective judgment and sometimes may not be really accurate. There are millions of things in the world that relates to “fate”, but what is actually “fate”? There are many different answers from everyone. In the end, the person who created the destiny or fate was destined to be, might be seen as a little dust in the universe and we will never explore a reasonable conclusion. Perhaps, as the film reveals the helplessness at the last, as will happen to those so-called "Destiny", is just a theory someone use loopholes to create a system out of a trap it, it will take necessity to be occurred and to inform us one of most ironic paradox.

Secondly, the color blue-black exists throughout the full-length of movie. It express the feeling of cold, technology and unreal atmosphere that full-filled with the viewer's brain. Under the director Steven Spielberg's control, whether fixed or flying scenes shows the best effecting he movie, and each have grasped the most out of color effects. The whole drama only has a the few color shots, which are the police officers assigned to the thoughts of the son and the family, and his wife's house in the warm images. Just because of rare, it makes the movie characters on the quiet family life longing like molten steel pouring down like infused into our hearts. Relatively images, the music of color in the film are better; the movie soundtrack includes the classical symphony to modern electronic music. In the visual deprivation on the use of music, the way of rendering story will be strengthen.

In addition, the film is full of cars, mobile phones, computers and other products of the advertisement, I know that shows the high technologies but it gives me boredom. However, the entire film gives the feeling of a very technology, especially those characters controls the computer slides. Those slides controlling using specific gloves in those scenes are really impressive that I really wish to see one day in the future in the real world..

What I get inspired from this movie is human now is to rely on technology and makes people lost their independence, somehow lost an important thing, the real nature. It is true that the world needs technology to improve ourselves, but at the same time, we can’t lost our nature. Nature and technology need to be balanced as well as to live a better normal life.

As an architecture student, I am not willing to see the existing of the world and environment in the film which only appears the ruthless of human without the warmness of human. Only the harmony environment will be balanced and can lead the architecture to be a good design which includes the high-technologies and warmth of human.
