Ben Boyett - Minority Report

I really enjoyed watching this film. Steven Spielberg is a very talented director and he comes through in this film. The story is set in the future in a near perfect human society. The film explores the idea of whether or not humans are capable of creating a perfect society. It reminds me of Zardoz in that sense because even though things seem to be under control, inside the system is bursting at the seams. Cruises character John Anderton is a policeman whose job is to prevent crimes through the developed sense of pre-cognisanse. The plot heats up when John is accused of commiting a crime. To me the movie points towards the concept of original sin; no matter how civilized we become, humans will always be capable of great harm to ourselves and those around us.
