"Minority Report"


At the beginning of the movie, to be honest i really don't know what the movie is about as those actors are speaking too fast for me(maybe its because the movie is shown without the subtitle below). The movie started in the world in year 2054 (wow! its over 40 years from now). A world with full of superb-advanced technology surrounded where there is a government department so called Pre-crime(I called it PCD in short) department lead by the Chief John Anderson. In simple, the duty of the department is to catch or to arrest any criminal before they start off any crime in the city. It something like prevent crime before the crime is really happened.

The most impressive part of the movie is when the agent from the PCD looking for John in the apartments he was hiding. They check whole civilians's identity in the particular apartment by using their little tiny insect like agents (actually its a insect like machine). The insect like machine agents are so clever where they even can find an alternative way to check anyone who try to run away just like what John did. The technology used/created in such a way so that human can fully depends on robot / machine to do work for us and make our life easier.
On the other hand, the unimpressive part of the movie when John find himself in the Pre-Crime incidents where he saw himself in the killing scene at the monitor. There is not clear explanation why and how he will be set up by his boss. This part make me confused.
The film happened in the years of 2054 where the technology are becoming so so advanced where people are fully rely on machine / robots in their life. The main plot of the movie is to take control of the future or in other word is to prevent any bad incident before its really happened, so its needed such superb-advanced world to do that. In my opinion, i think they are definitely fit in such a way.

Next, the intention of the movie is to show that we can decide our future and make decision in our life, not try to control our future by overstep God's job. If we intends to do so and sure we can make it. For me the message / intention is only partly successful in this movie where there are still need some improvement where the story should be better and clearer explanation.

Finally, i think movie like these surely have an impact of design thinking where we know that we need to work according to the steps rather than hoping that we will get a great design easily.
