Majority Records (My best writer + my best director) (dvd)

Rating: 10/10 (6 November 2011)

This terrific duo should associate more often. I will not enter the empty debate to decide if it's the best PKD adaptation (just because PKD must be read than watched) but there were a lot of good ideas and inspired filmmaking here. The first pre-crime reminds you that Spielberg is really good at thriller and it's a shame that he doesn't do more, above all that he started here (see "Night Gallery"). At first, the blue filtering didn't convince me here it's fine because this future is really bleak. It reminds me of "Robocop": a future not too futurist but with us, common people having become hollow shells and identified data: thoughts, eyes, body warm, localization. What can the "government" ask more the moment we can't get any privacy thus identity. This all-seeing eye is well depicted here all the more than PKD is an intelligent rebel: the loss of our liberties would be pernicious, hidden behind the "it's for your own good". Tomorrow, it will be casual crimes, but today it's already terrorism, fundamentalism and states debts. But PKD is also a true writer because it's his delicious idea to have a pre-crime cop witnessing his own pre-crime! With Spielberg on command, you can find that the bragging Farrell is decent actor and fresh newcomers (like Morton) as well. It's really fast paced as for the mind or the eyes and as with the story, I still have questions (how the minority report really works, why two balls, why no records from Agatha for her mother's pre-murderer).
