Another hot shot regrettably

Rating: Null/10 (14 September 2004)

A view to a future, which may come true or not. A contribution to, say P.K.Dick's legacy, but not for real perhaps. Some say Steven Spielberg is a never grown up kid for the Hollywood entertainment factory. This film may promote their point. If one tries to convert a story of human life, its restlessness, unknown future, void ending against the ultimate eternal questions, Spielberg has failed so far for sure. His 'Report' is easy in the reading and unavoidably summed up in the 'happy ending'. I find it the very opposite thing to Dick's prose. He underlined our seclusion in our ultimate experiences, our specific and unique comprehension of the external input, the meaning of 'external', the unease, when balancing the choice between the real and elusive, and the rejecting of unnatural. It's a 'game' between our beliefs in God and the agnostics. Spielberg's made it easy to please the executives and audience. I do like the movie but it's far away from the Dick's prose and his message for us.
