Looking into the Future
January 23rd 2008 05:49
One of man's greatest desires is to look into the future. Why because we just can't wait. Everybody want's to know their future- hence the reason for the desire to see Tarot card readers and the like. However the future isn't always pretty, so why do we still want to see it? One idea is that it can act like a warning. In the film, Minority Report Chief John Anderton helps prevent murders from happening with the help of three people called the Pre-cogs. The pre-cogs were the accidental result of genetic mutation. Due to their "gifts" they are used to create a murder-free town. It seems like a good thing - but is it? When John himself is propesied to commit a murder John goes on the run to solve the mystery - but is his fate already sealed? After kidnapping Agatha, in order to find a "minority report", which is an alternate future he is given one. However Agatha insists that he can still choose his future, which he eventually does. At the end of the film the pre-cogs are set free and the pre-crime division is closed down. It seems it is best not too look into the future. If the future can change what is the point of looking at it - however if it cannot would you really want to?
