Minority Report

Today Ms Sue has shown us a science-fiction movie called "Minority Report" which directed by Steven Speilberg and the cast includes Tom Cruise as the main character. After watching the show, we were required to analyze the plot of the movie as part of our assignment. It's kinda fun to have this kind of learning and using analytical thinking.

Overall, i find that this story line is nice, especially the high technology such as doing stuff by motion control kinda impressed me. Besides, i like the way Tom Cruise(acted as John Anderton) carried the show as the chief of Precrime officer, the courage and determination of solving the case. The basic plotline of this movie Tom Cruise is convicted of a murder he hasn't committed yet, by a team of psychics called "precogs", which can view the murderers in the future using precognition, in 2054. Besides,the impressive part of this show is also premeditated murder and victim ball coming out after the vision of the "precogs".

But, the unimpressive part of this movie is the background of the scene, the movie shows that it is during 2054, but there were some of the places still the same architecture and design as 20's, i suppose 2054 should be all in high standard of urban city and places, which sounds like not fit the plot of the movie. Besides, the end part of the movie which is the case of Burgess set up Anderton in order to cover up Anderton's knowledge, is kind of confusing.

In the other hand, im sure the intention of the director for the movie is that humans are always selfish and greedy. For instance, it is tortured to keep the three "precogs" under the water and wait for their vision of the future, as they were humans too, and they have feelings as well, luckily in the end it shows that the three of them have their own private life and free from giving vision for Precrime. If one knows his or her own future, he or she can change it, this quote was told by Tom Cruise's character in this movie. I do agree with that, if i were him i wish i can change, but to think deeply, sometimes we can't just change as we like, because, it may bring different consequences to the others as well.

Lastly, the design of the railway for the transport flowing are kinda impress as they can even travel towards up in vertical way, not just in horizontal, other than that, i can't see any impact of design thinking from this movie. But, we can learn to be a more caring and understanding person, as simple life is the best=).
