[@iCyberDev]

just a small nitpick and constructive criticism: love the reaction but the first 0:00 to ~1:30 of this intro, i tihnk the editor overdid it a bit with the "Echo". It acted less as a "hype reverb" vs hype mic boom, and it sounded like a disconnect in the audio/video sync accident vs actual intended voice modification. That is all, very small nitpick, it didnt ruin the reaction, and i hope whoever was working on this doesn't get too much noise from it (no pun intended), but i figured i'd share.

[@fullmoonprepping4024]

During one of the Mission Impossible films when Ethan needed to complete a task underwater, there was a lot of training. By the shoot Tom was holding his breath for 6+ minutes.

[@SurgeryIsWoke]

Movie doesn’t get the credit it deserves for the effect it had on science fiction storytelling. All that Touching Nothing Hologram sht you’ve seen everywhere for 20+ years. Thank Stevie Spielberg

[@Dravakin]

I think the son was just a random crime that is unconnected, I think that’s what makes it more terrifying, there is no motive that we as the viewer know,

[@hellfish2309]

It’s plenty nefarious for Burgess to have exploited Anderton’s past in order to realize his program

[@jerodast]

I've never seen anyone invent such an elaborate extra layer to Burgess's crimes haha. I understand not wanting it to just being some random act, but it is. Storytelling wise though there's no WAY this movie lays out so much of the scheme of what Burgess did to Agatha's mother and then just doesn't even have anyone mention a suspicion that he was responsible for the son, if that's "what actually happened". Also, in-universe I'm sure John was a really good cop before precrime, but it would be crazy for Burgess to want him SO MUCH he'd kill for it, when John's role in the system hadn't even been set up or tested yet.

[@Skarchest]

He didn’t pay crowe to kidnap sean, he paid crowe to pretend he was the guy and we don’t actually know who really did it

[@Slythe01]

So were all those photos of Crowe and his son faked?

[@adityaakaul]

Not sure what the confusion was. Anderton had a traumatic history of his son being kidnapped which was his primary motivation to be zealous about Precrime and that made him a massive asset for Lamar. Then, when he had served his purpose, and had started asking too many uncomfortable questions about Anne Lively, Lamar used John's trauma to fabricate a scenario which he knew would likely induce Anderton to commit murder, which the Precogs would pick up and highlight, effectively framing him for the future murder of his son's "kidnapper". Lamar and Leo Crow didn't have anything to do with the actual kidnapping, they were using his trauma to induce the murder. Its actually genius writing to weave the fallibility of the precrime concept into the framing of "pre-murder", since apparently the precogs pick up intent of murder, but may be inaccurate if the person decides not to go ahead with it (the minority report).

[@angelagraves865]

This is based on a Philip K. Dick story. Other movies based on his stories are: Blade Runner, Total Recall, The Adjustment Bureau, Paycheck, and A Scanner Darkly.

[@ermagerd8306]

Also Screamers with Peter Weller, and Imposter with Gary Sinise.

[@VoydStudios]

The Matrix is also a spin on some of his existential literary work

[@jerodast]

To be honest I was not sure this was based on anything, it's so well put together as a single package. I was a little offended on behalf of sci fi screenwriters when he said "it's probably based on a book" without knowing haha, like what you don't there's any good original scripts in sci fi? I get that feeling in a movie that has sort of arbitrary weird feeling elements because it makes you think there's backstory that got left out, but Minority Report is tight tight tight.

[@GiRR007]

OOOOO the adjustment Bureau

[@nazimelmardi]

And Man in the High Castle.

[@jariah92005]

I always felt that Sean was an actual real kidnapping before Precrime existed. This drove Cruise to be the best with precrime at all costs, his exwife said he was obsessed, in the hopes of finding Sean before he was murdered. Sydow knew this and used it to bend Cruise to his will.

[@erikchristopherkc]

Yeah, his son wasn't kidnapped by Lamar to get him to join pre crime. That was some heavy over thinking.

[@EleventhCubFan]

Spielberg and Cruise need to make more movies together!

[@SpearM3064]

No, Burgess did NOT hire someone to kidnap John's son. That was something that happened before precrime. You didn't pay enough attention, and you were overthinking it. He hired Crow to *pretend* that *he* was the one who took John's son, to get John to commit murder. But no, it was someone else entirely who kidnapped John's son... and got away with it, because precrime didn't exist back then.

[@hellfish2309]

It’s also nefarious enough for Burgess to exploit Anderton’s history

[@jayge17]

Yes, the lengths Van Sydow went through to keep precrime successful were evil, but Tom Cruise's supporting the cause was always genuine, no foul play to sucker him into precrime, but a horrible exploitation of his past in order to frame him when he got too close to the truth about the Ann Lively murder

[@turntsnaco824]

This movie is LOADED with complex information and it's tough if not impossible to understand everything on your first watch. It's also REALLY easy to get confused because of the way some of the information is presented, I had to rewatch it numerous times with deliberate intent to process and understand all of the information presented by the movie, and even though I can summarize the plot very well, I still feel like it's inherently difficult to follow, and there's one or two details that still dont make perfect sense to me. I'm just saying, I think it's a bit harsh to go as far as saying "You weren't paying enough attention" on this movie. That'd be like saying "ugh, you didn't understand Inception the first time? Watch it again and maybe try to actually pay attention this time...." Some movies really benefit from multiple watches and this is definitely one of those films. And it's not even that he wasn't paying attention - he heard them say he was paid to act like he took his son. I think he just misunderstood that to mean Leo was paid to "act like he was kidnapping his son" ("acting" meaning "being paid to do something he wasnt really doing of his own volition"), i.e. he wasnt really a kidnapper, but he was still the reason his son went missing. Yeah, it turns out he was just overthinking it, but I can't blame him for expecting the movie to have more of an answer or give more closure to that plot point. He just thought everything was going to come down to that, not Anne Lively.

[@redviper6805]

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.

[@sreyangovender3404]

Minority Report is a true cinematic gem that grows in stature

[@jerodast]

I don't know a single person who didn't think it was really good, but he's right it isn't really talked about that much. I guess just because it was its own thing, no franchise, no ballooning superhero film industry that emerged out of it. And it's hard to do movies based on "they're psychic!" really well, and a lot of the backstory choices here are very specific. I have seen people reference it the most in terms of imagining how computer interfaces would go though.

[@auslandermercury972]

“Don’t you EVER SAY HIS NAME!” Sooo many great lines and deliveries in this movie. It’s soo good.

[@auslandermercury972]

“Everybody runs.” Ahh, I love that line and its delivery so much.

[@WastedPo]

I'm glad you guys liked this movie. I think it's aged incredibly well over time. As far as if the people would want a system in place in which murders could be psychically predicted and stopped... I mean, as the audience, we can see the "behind the scenes" of how the system works in the movie, so we know there is at least some legitimacy to the process (putting aside the minority reports, and the corruption). But in the real world, if the police suddenly announced that they'd decided to arrest people who hadn't even committed a crime, and were putting them away forever, but it's okay because "trust us, bro, we're cops." There is NO WAY I would be in favor of that.

It was one of those fun sci-fi premises that only lasted one season because it was on broadcast TV.

Can’t really convey how fascinating the that whole gesture UI was back in 2002. It was a genuinely _different_ take on a computer UI - still cinematic, sure, but not a too-sci-fi hologram or whatever films usually do. This seemed like something that might actually work, and indeed the designers did a lot of work to make it realistic if still imaginative and juuust futuristic enough. When the first modern’ish touchscreens made a big splash a few years later, they were described as “Minority Report’esque” - it was just the only reference people had for all this slide, swipe, pinch gesture stuff, because it hadn’t been seen in real life before

[@sebagonzalezmusic]

Spielberg pioneered that “top-down” tracking shot (that almost looks/feels like a video game) in the scene with the camera slowly following the spider bots while they searched the building.

The problem with "pre-crime" will always be that you are in actual fact punishing someone for a crime they haven't committed. The crime doesn't even exist. It's a gross miscarriage of justice by default; and that's just the ethical dilemma. The paradox is even worse. The paradox is that by punishing people in this way, for a crime they haven't committed, you are punishing them for *_NOT_* committing a crime.

The scene where Agatha starts telling them about the life Sean would have had growing up slays me every time. There's an interesting theory that states that everything that happens after Anderton gets put into the sleep-machine prison is a result of his dreams. As the jailor says, supposedly you see what your most desires are and get a happy ending. And that's exactly what happens. John gets freed, Precrime ends, the Precogs get to live in a shack out in the middle of nowhere, Anderton and his wife probably gets back together. I find this theory fascinating. This is a fantastic movie that I wholly committ to the Cyberpunk movie watchlist.

[@StoryMing]

The debate over the ethics of preemptively arresting a “future” criminal, to me, is really not all that complicated. The situation already exists! In our world and reality, if someone happens to learn of an intended crime, and intervenes to stop it so that the crime never ultimately takes place, there is no dilemma; the law knows how to take both intent and completed action into account. The penalty for murder, _attempted_ murder, _ and involuntary manslaughter are not all the same. The more serious ethical dilemma here is in the dehumanizing use of the Precogs as tools. Re: his son, Sean - I see others have already explained this one on here- and, in fact, I see you figured it out yourselves, but just to reiterate… No, no, no. Lamar DID NOT hire anyone to kidnap the boy so that John would work for him on Precrime. The tragedy with the son was not a setup, it happened, as a real crime; we never find out who, or how, or why. It DID function to drive John to commit to Precrine, and Lamar perhaps did exploit the circumstance, but Lamar did not absolutely NEED him for Precrime to exist, in the way he needed Agatha. He was good; but she was _irreplaceable._ *HOWEVER-* when John stumbled upon the murder of Agatha’s mother, Ann Lively, _now_ he became a _liability_ a potential witness, if he ever put 2 and 2 together. AT THAT POINT he had to be gotten rid of. So Lamar hired Leo Crowe to *_pretend_* to be his son’s killer; because, as John says, Lamar knew that was the one thing that would drive him to murder. Then he could be put away, and effectively silenced.

This is still one of my absolute favorite tom cruise movies

[@Fafhrd42]

The primary issue with pre-crime (beyond the enslaving of the precogs) is that every pre-murder perpetrator apparently gets an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole. Red Balls should be a twenty-four hour hold and mandatory counseling, and brown balls should be some form of forced institutionalization (in the case of psychopaths and serial killers) or if they're professional hitmen or something trying to force them to flip and use them for key witnesses in larger investigations. It's also never really explained how Pre-Crime could be made 'national.' The precogs have a limited range in which they can predict things, and they've only got the three of them. Are they going to build an airship and just constantly fly them around the country or something?

[@Real_LiamOBryan]

I think that there are a couple other "primary" issues with it, namely, that no crime has been committed yet--or is in the process of being committed, so nobody is actually guilty of anything, and people that have decided to do something can veto that with another act of volition. Nishi Shah, a philosopher, wrote a good paper about this. You can look it up by Googling "Direct Doxastic Voluntarism Nishi Shah". I'm sorry, I can't remember the name of the paper at the moment. Nevertheless, it gives a very persuasive case for at least the subjective veto of decisions made and, in that sense, a truly libertarian freedom of the will.

They did a clear "villain cut" to Burgess while you guys were still convincing yourselves you were right about your suspicion haha.

I liked the in-universe twist that everyone is so used to precrime now that they assume they couldn't be murdered - only explanation for Farrell spilling all the beans when he knows the culprit has to be someone "high up". And great evil tension building when Burgess reminds him what it means for Agatha to be absent.

The son was gone before the Precrime exist. Anne Lively was killed after Precrime exist but before John start working there. So, there's no way Lamar kill his son just to get him to work there. John only work there after the Precrime prove to be successful, not it's only successful after he works there.

One of my favorite movies. So glad you’re reacting to it 😃

22:56 “Parkour!” 🤣

Oh, hey! I just noticed you guys are matching. Nice!

It is said that everything after John Anderton goes into the prison is actually a dream - something he came up with while stuck in there.

[@eon001]

Maybe I'm just an old boomer, but it still blows my mind that this generation hasn't seen movies like this. Especially if you're a Spielberg fan.

Agatha is the leader of the Whispers on TWD right? 😮

[@redcomet0079]

Yupppp

[@brianbrewster827]

Underrated flick! Would love to see it in 4K!

41:13 - WILLIAM MAPOTHER - the actor who portrays the hotel manager has appeared in five films starring his cousin, TOM CRUISE MAPOTHER IV.

Yes, initially Lamar used the determination of John's to fuel the Precrime program but... Lamar discovered that John became a liability due to his drug addiction, so Lamar needed to remove him while proving at the same time that the system works. So he hired Leo Crowe to act like he is the one who kidnapped his son, knowing that John would stop at nothing to get the bastard. This determination of his prevented John of walking the other way. Well, almost. He managed not to kill Crowe voluntarily, but Crowe de-facto committed suicide. Who really kidnapped John's son we don't know and this is in fact not important for the story.

John stumbled upon Ann Lively murder. Thats why they set him up. He had NOTHING to do with drug addiction

[@-M0LE]

Dudes reaction to the mouldy sandwich and gone off milk was hilarious 😂

[@taniar523]

John's son went missing before Precrime came into existence. Lamar wanted John out of the picture when he started questioning him about Anne Lively. He also killed Danny (Colin) because he found the glitch with Anne's murder as well. This was always about hidding Anne's murder so Lamar could take Agatha to create Precrime. We never really find out what happened to John's son.

I want a standalone Les Grossman film.

Sean's kidnapping happened before pre-crime started. It motivated John to join the program but Lamar had nothing to do with it.

[@dice268926]

The author of Minority Report created some of the GREATEST Sci-fi

[@LateCambrian]

This movie is based on a short story by Philip K Dick (Total recall, blade runner etc)

[@vijayanand6650]

I love how shocking that moment is when Agatha screams “RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!”

[@CharlesVanNoland]

Leo Crow was just a patsy (works in this context, rite?) he didn't actually have anything to do with the taking of the son. He was just a pawn.

[@auslandermercury972]

Yeah, like others have said. I never got the impression that Lamar had anything to do right Sean’s kidnapping. I always figured it was something that happened before pre-crime and John got involved in pre-crime, like his wife said, to keep that kind of thing from happening to anyone else. Kinda like Batman 🤔 😯

[@JCKillpack]

Crow was hired to pretend to be the guy who took his son.

[@mrjunk3203]

It was never implied that his son was killed by Lamar. Not sure why you kept saying that. It was just a random crime that drove Cruise to be a part of pre-crime. Lamar used his sons disappearance as a way to get him to join him

[@hellfish2309]

They’re riding the yarn walls in their heads; it’s also plenty nefarious to exploit Anderton’s past to execute pre-crime without all the mustache twirling to have personally orchestrated Sean’s abduction

[@krishnataveras8734]

I always like to think that John ended up in prison and everything that happens after they put him in there is just like Tim Blake Nelson said: "They say you have visions, that your life flashes before your eyes and that all your dreams come true" That is why is so easy for his wife to break into a maximum security prison and take him out without any problem.. Everything after this sequence are John's dream being fulfilled while in a prison induced fantasy created the halo they put on his head. It makes total sense.

One of my favorite Tom Cruise movies.
