I love how quick Samantha picks up on screen writing narratives. She'll be like "wait a minute this person should totally be caring about why this other thing happened From 25 minutes ago", And without skipping a beat the character she's talking about will start caring about what she's talking about.

A true classic.

Max von Sydow, Director Lamar Burgess, was a huge international star, growing his reputation through his work with Swedish director Ingmar Bergman. He is probably best known in the States as Father Merrin in The Exorcist (1973). A few years later, he was in an excellent film (whodunit/whydunit)with Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway, Three Days of the Condor (1975, dir. Sydney Pollack)

Tom Cruise’s story arc on struggling with loss was brilliant. The pre-cogs were named after mystery writers. Dashiell Hammett, creator of Sherlock Holmes stories Arthur C Doyle and the Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie. I knew Agatha was gonna grab Tom Cruise from the pool but Spielberg still managed to scare me!! Love how they used Schubert’s music when Tom was browsing the images early in the movie.

[@CrayCruz]

This whole movie was brilliant...the action sequences, the acting and the soundtrack all top notch. Although it did get mix reviews as I remember it. I agree with TBR that my favorite scene is at the cottage with John, his wife and Agatha...the story of their son's progression growing into adulthood was so touching and very moving. Being the father of a son, this hit home right in the feels. I love Samantha Morton (Agatha).

[@juvandy]

I've often thought this is Tom Cruise's best work as an actor, rather than as an action star. The emotions he pulls off here are so far beyond what he does in most other of his films. Likewise, Spielberg is known for his hits but I agree with others that this is one of his most underrated movies. Last comment- this was the first time I remember seeing Colin Farrell, and I feel like he has rarely had an opportunity to work as well in a big Hollywood film as he does here. He's awesome in The Lobster though.

Well, it's not actually "related to" Total Recall. What people MAY be referring to is the fact that both movies were based upon a Philip K. Dick story, who also wrote the original stories for Blade Runner ("Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?") and "A Scanner Darkly", among many others. The story that would become "Total Recall" was called "We Can Remember it for You Wholesale"..

[@Icemann383]

It’s amazing to say that a Steven Spielberg/Tom Cruise movie is underrated, but Minority Report is. It’s one of the best sci-fi movies that’s a “cautionary tale” of where the future might take us with science and technology. This along with Blade Runner and Gattaca are the best examples of that sub-genre of sci-fi.

[@mapesdhs597]

One wonders how far we already have that future in many ways, eg. how often "inconvenient" evidence is ignored during police investigations because it contradicts the narrative the investigators have chosen to believe - often a problem during high stress investigations when there is strong public and/or political pressure to get a result, but it likely happens to some degree all the time. In the UK, the Birmingham Six and the Guildford Four were prime examples of this, men wrongly convicted for acts of terrorism which ignited public anger, released years later after proof of the bungled investigations and deliberate falsification of evidence came out. People assume it is the role of prosecuting authorities to find out the truth, but that's wrong, instead their role is to press for prosection of any offense for which there is apparent 'evidence', regardless of whether the relevant act actually happened or not; since the presentation of such evidence is by definition selective, the potential for excluding contradictory data is significant. In recent decades, several fields of forensic science have been downgraded in relevance in trials as their reliability has come into question, especially areas for which there was never any baseline data. DNA testing and ballistics have both been found flawed, indeed resulting in wrongful convictions, partly because juries are misled about the supporting science. Facial recognition has also ruined innocent lives.

Without Samantha Morton you were taking a big chance, a gamble. I say that knowing full well that Tom Cruise was the star of MR, but Morton was so brilliant and central to the film's "believability." I liked elements of it, but...

[@jackmaddox4960]

I'm sure I'm not the first to mention this, but in fact actor Malcolm McDowell did injure his eyes during the iconic scene in 'A Clockwork Orange'... First, one of his corneas got scratched by the 'hook' that held his eyes open, and second he went temporarily blind from having his eyes held open for as long as they were. Thankfully he did recover fully from both injuries! 'Minority Report' is a great flick, I saw it in the theater when it first came out, and loved it! Glad you guys watched it for the channel. Kudos!

When Minority Report was made it was set 50 years in the future. The laughably miniature cell phones which resulted in the scene where Cruise rages at nobody visible as he storms through the restaurant kitchen became reality within less than a decade in the form of bluetooth headsets, and it was eerie to see that scene being enacted in real life by actual people.

@ 23:09: Fun Fact: the hotel clerk is played by Tom Cruise's cousin, William Mapother.

[@shainewhite2781]

22:07, "I can't give any information." Lol!

[@promontorium]

This movie has several major red herrings that almost make the movie too convoluted. 1. There actually aren't any "minority reports" in the film. The movie is called Minority Report. The concept of a minority report is that sometimes the head psychic sees things slightly differently than the other two. This information is stored but ignored. Cruise thinks maybe there's a minority report of his future crime. But it turns out there isn't. Then later in the film there's an implication that the drowning murder that was never solved was a minority report, but it turns out that was actually just a full-on new murder that was assumed to be an echo (a repeat viewing of the previous murder). 2. The disappearance of the main character's son is never solved nor even clued at. But it's toyed with to no end. Even at some point the psychic woman is able to see what his future could have been, but can't even see what his actual fate was. Or refuses to say what it was. So throughout the entire film, everything revolves around the son's disappearance, but every avenue it leads us down is a red herring. 3. Colin Farrell's entire existence was a red herring. He finds evidence enough to ruin Cruise's career, but that gets ignored ultimately because of timing. He's presented as the bad guy but doesn't do anything the other cops wouldn't have done. He eventually figures everything out and gets conveniently murdered right when the murderer could get away with it. His death is blamed on Cruise but even that is irrelevant due to timing because Cruise was getting the same punishment for the other supposed murder. 4. The man who gives Cruise new eyes is a red herring. We are led down this path of terror from the moment Cruise is unwittingly stuck with a needle to knock him out. The eye man then proceeds to explain that his career was ended and he was imprisoned because of Cruise. You think he's going to try to get some kind of revenge. And then he doesn't. He says it's water under the bridge and mentions Cruise's drug dealer is a mutual friend so everything's cool. This gets even further toyed with when Cruise wakes up and wants his sandwich and milk, but ends up grabbing an older moldy one and drinking an older moldy milk. The only reason the guy would leave the older food in there would be to screw with Cruise after eye surgery. But he DID put good milk and good sandwich in there too, so it was only a coin flip if Cruise picked the moldy sandwich over the good one.

[@gregall2178]

If you'd like to see another role of Samantha Morton's, I would highly recommend "In America". Tim Blake Nelson was in O Brother Where Art Thou (if you've seen that).

Hey Daniel and Sam, This vision of the future is so next level in this movie. From self-driving cars that use the sides of building to double as roadways. To interface teach that can scan your mind fro their thoughts and on the flip side implant new ones to create fantasies. Flying police cars, roll up digital newspapers. Near-instant body part replacements, artificial body parts. And the list goes on and on. THe only one I would leave off the list is the constant eye scans. But our cell phones can do that trick to have us tracked, so were screwed either way.

Cruise (almost age 40 at the time) in his first of 2 collaborations with Spielberg. Much like Blade Runner, futuristic crime drama and from the same author of the source material. The storytelling raises so many questions about the nature of fate and destiny with good or bad intentions. The script is just as smart as the science of the film itself with good actions and visualization. The infamous 'Industrial Light & Magic' special effects house designing the most incredible to bring this world to life. This was a new classic for a new century.

I remember this in the theaters and not liking it. Caught it later on TV and thinking it was an "okay" movie. But then caught it on streaming one night and was hooked. Never really had a movie that went from not liking to completely liking on multiple views and knowing the story. Think this really had more to do with noticing a bit more the real acting behind the action instead of simply the action and "familiar" sci-fi tropes. And when you focus on how Tom really dug deep to convey as many emotional moments as he had to go through with the set-up and resolution and hearing about his son's possible life really makes it hit home.

[@crankfastle8138]

Same. It grew on me. Even the cgi/special effects don't feel to dated. I think this movie struggled because this might be in the "crazy tom" jumping on couches part of his life. I think people were pushing away from him.

[@Daniel-yy5tx]

Two things I love about this movie (SPOILER WARNING, PLEASE SKIP IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS FOR MINORITY REPORT): 1. The precogs can detect premeditated murder--but NOT who premeditated it, which is how the movie avoids the grandfather paradox. If Anderton doesn't know Crow, then how could he plan his murder without the prediction itself setting him on that path? Without the prediction, Anderton would never know Crow existed and would thus never murder him, so the prediction seems to be a self-fulfilling prophecy--but it's not. It was Lamar arranging Crow's murder that set events in motion. LAMAR premeditated the murder, thus triggering the prediction. It's a very clever way to avoid a paradox, AND it exposes another weakness of Precrime--it won't necessarily bring people who hire contract killers to justice, allowing the chance to frame people just like Lamar does to Anderton. 2. There's a Total Recall-style "alternate ending": the prison warden mentions that the people in the prison are experiencing dreams while they're being held in stasis--specifically, that "all their dreams come true." Since we see Anderton being placed in a cell, everything that happens afterwards--Lara's meeting with Lamar and subsequent realization, Lamar's unmasking, the disbanding of Precrime, Agatha being released to live out her life in peace and especially--ESPECIALLY--Anderton and Lara getting back together and having another child--it could very well be all in Anderton's head. He's still in that cell, having his dreams come true, while who-knows-what is happening in the real world. I also just love how many wham lines Dr. Hineman has in her conversation with Anderton. She delivers every single one of them in such rapid succession, but it doesn't feel like plot exposition at all even though that's exactly what it is.

[@VonPunk]

That actor that Cruise talks to at 23:04 is actually his real life cousin William Mapother that popped up in his films occasionally to this point before taking off on his own successful career.

[@Tr0nzoid]

This is the first time I've heard the Mrs. do all the "What the f----?!" One of my favorite details in this was when Kathryn Morris put the bag of eyeballs on the piano, triggering the dramatic music cue within the movie. It was reminiscent of a certain "Saving Private Ryan" scene when a piano on set was used like a score element to punctuate the tone. This came out July 2002 right after "Attack of the Clones." The scene where the car was built around Cruise thus giving him with a getaway car was like a better outcome to how the "Episode II" droid factory scene should have ended.

[@HermanVonPetri]

Did anyone else notice that scene with him on the car assembly line was extremely similar to the scene in Star Wars: Episode II where Anakin is on the droid assembly line? The two movies came out in the same year, and the John Williams music is strikingly similar there, too.

Great reaction, but what really drives it home is your "take" or analysis afterward. My favorite overall, as I have said before, is your analysis (take) on True Detective Season 1. But you guys always seem to dissect a film or series to great effect. This one's no exception. This is one of my favorite Spielberg movies, because of all the elements - story, directing and acting - are so spot on. Daniel, I'm with you, one of my favorite scene's in any Spielberg film is the one at the cottage with John, his wife and "Agatha." The storytelling of their son's life is both poignant and heartbreaking and so masterfully done by all parties...Samantha Morton (Agatha) absolutely crushed it, and TC was brilliant in portraying a father's grief and anguish. But that scream to "run" morphing into the roar of the hover craft is worth the price of admission to the theater. Please do "In America" - not sci-fi but a wonderful story and it has much more of Samantha Morton.

“Paycheck” is very underrated if you ask me. Love that film

[@SnabbKassa]

There's a great gif where instead of chasing his eyeballs, John is chasing Mario and Toad in their carts

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

Another film based on the works of Phillip K. Dick. Here are some more, actually there are short films and so forth that add up to about 25 or 30 altogether. The Man in the High Castle (TV Series) Electric Dreams (TV Series) The Adjustment Bureau A Scanner Darkly Paycheck Minority Report Total Recall Blade Runner

[@fatboy5926]

This is a shockingly underrated movie. Really enjoy it and I can rewatch it and still enjoy it too

[@MyraJean1951]

The wonderful Samantha Morton as the pre-cog, Agatha, practically steals this movie!

[@laurencelikestopgun]

For a bit of context this movie came out the summer after 9/11, so the "Freewill Vs Security" debate in the film was very relevant for the audience of 2002

Colin Farrell really is Irish and used an American accent for this movie. He’s one of those actors that I have known about for a very long time, but had no idea he wasn’t from the US or Canada because I have only heard him “use” an accent in 1 or 2 movies so I just assumed he didn’t really have an accent.

[@kevingarnica7812]

28:14 - I find this scene to be the most poetic in the entire film; combination of great acting, lighting, the music, and what it signifies in the story . . . so heartbreaking.

[@kingfield99]

Minority Report / Oblivion / Edge of Tomorrow. The trifecta of good TC sci-fi movies.

Plot twist theroy: John Anderton imagined/dreamed the "conclusion/ending" of the movie while still being imprisoned. "It's really kind of a rush. They say you'd have visions. That life flashes before your eyes, and all your dreams come true".

[@Flesharrower]

29:51 the moment Samantha has a mini-stroke lol "Unravulling!"

[@trash-heap3989]

This movie is one of my all time favorites! I feel it tells a good story of a flawed need for a perfect law system, but of course things are usually more complex and ugly under the surface of such "perfect" systems, but the fact that the system genuinely works to some extent is grimly intriguing, and I love when a story goes into showing imperfect perfection, or even perfect imperfection. I'm glad to see your reactions and take on this movie!

[@SSS-ie6mh]

This movie is so under-rated.

[@markmorris9751]

"Agatha" is played by an actress named Samantha Morton. She also played "Alpha". The hated leader of the "Whispers", from "The Walking Dead". She played Mary "Queen of Scot's" Stuart in 2007's "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" too. She had long hair in that one.

[@darthnoid]

One of my favourite films ever! I am a sucker for time themed movies/books and even academic research! In my masters thesis (arts education) I even quoted this book!

[@marekarens3284]

"Minority Report", "Total Recall" and "Blade Runner" are adaptations of Philip K. Dick's novels. There are many other adaptations. I recommend You "The Adjustment Bureau", if you haven't seen yet.

[@shanenolan8252]

Thanks guys i love this movie. Yes colin Farrell's character is from Irish originally. From Dublin like colin. ( i am too) he definitely toned down the accent but there are different accents ( north or south side ) but there are around 30s something Irish accents. Odd because its a tiny country.

[@crankfastle8138]

I grew up in Ireland's hated next door neighbor's. Same in England, small island with so many accents. Colin has always been good with accents. Never feels false or unnatural.

[@madpaduk]

Yeah it is Arizona from Greys, her step-dad is the director so... Other small roles directly related to nepotism include the hotel clerk at the murder hotel is Tom Cruise's cousin William Mapother

[@TheMarcHicks]

There is a theory that the ending is actually just happening in John's mind, whilst he is in prison. Which raises the same kinds of ambiguity that we get from Total Recall.

[@frankthespank]

12:29 “TURN DOWN FOR WHAT!?” 🤣😎

[@uosdwiSrdewoH]

Technology is moving a little slower than they probably thought it would. Spielberg went out and asked what things would be like as well as have the car company come up with a design that could be plausible in the future. He wanted to make sure the world of the future felt as authentic and realistic as it possibly could. Presumably because the idea of pre-crime is a heady concept and he wanted the audience focussed on that and not asking questions about the future things they were seeing. It all feels fairly like it could be just over the horizon.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

8:09 He played Mr. Blue in "The Incredible Hulk," and Delmer O'Donnel in "O Brother Where Art Thou."

[@el34glo59]

One of the most underrated sci fi movies of all time

[@jimrobinson9979]

I remember seeing this in the theater and walking out thinking it was a painting a picture of a deeply disturbing dystopian future, with police oversight of every citizen’s location, and arrest and incarceration for crimes considered but not executed. Given that UK mass surveillance system (via cctv) in place today I totally believe there are large segments of society who would be fine with this vision of social order.

[@athos1974]

Agree 💯%. The old quote comes to mind; "People that are willing to give up liberty for security deserve neither".

[@countryoftheblind]

I've found it's a lot of fun to stop random people in the shopping mall and say: "He knows. Don't go home."

[@emilymcplugger]

I’m a huge fan of minority report and the dark undertones that feature within it. Colin Farrell is amazing in it as is everyone else, in fact 3 out of 4 of Tom’s sci-fi films are amazing (with Oblivion and Edge of Tomorrow also being Fantastic!)

I’m not certain it shares a universe with Total Recall but both stories are by Phillip K. Dick.

[@davidvainqueur5511]

Another great Tom Cruise film is Born on the Fourth of July.

[@alexflores7652]

Philip K. Dick wrote a lot of great stories. One of the stories that became a movie called Screamers, the original story was called "Second Variety". It had Peter Weller in it as the main character. The Doctor that performed the surgery played Lucifer in Constantine and the cousin in John Wick 2. His name is Peter Stormare.

[@aleatharhea]
