A and frighteningly real look into our own future.

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2002)

Wow. I saw an advanced screening last night, and I must say I was impressed. Well-paced and well-acted. Not to mention a frighteningly realistic glimpse into our future.
Advertisers, pay attention, because this film shows us how advertising can go too far(something tells me that advertisers will not heed this warning, but rather embrace it.)
Law enforcement, pay attention. All forms of justice are fallible, no matter how hard you try. One might think that taking away one's basic rights and freedoms in the name of justice is the answer, then that System turns on one of their own.
Governments, pay attention. You cannot have absolute control without crushing the human spirit. Individuality is important to the human race, it's what makes us human. When you try to destroy that, you are trying to destroy humanity.
Everybody, pay attention. Don't replace true feelings and emotion with technology. It's no substitute, even if those feelings and emotions are unhappy ones. Also see how your ambition can sometimes destroy you.
All of this will lead to a bleak world. A very cold and lonely world. Notice the lack of color in this film. Bleak, cold, and lonely is how I would describe the overall look and feel of Minority Report, which is direct symbolism of where our society is heading. However, the final note of this film gives us hope. The basic, natural creation of human life is really what matters. Not advertisement, law, governments or ambition. Just life.
