Where to Watch Minority Report
- Watched this with just the kids and I while their mom had to work late. I think my favorite Spielberg films are those that are firmly in the sci-fi fantasy genre. I remember 2002 Kevin being kind of blown away by the visual aesthetic of this film, much of which still holds up fairly well today. I also remember seeing this not too far apart from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones which came out the same summer. They both have very similar scenes in which there’s a chase through a production line / factory. And Minority Report’s visuals looked sooo much better. (End weird personal anecdote). Still love this movie. Introduced me to Colin Farrell with an American accent. I remember it being really jarring to see him do interviews after seeing this movie. (Wait, that’s what he sounds like in real life?). I’m a sucker for films that explore time-travel/past-future and Minority Report actually has a really interesting premise at its center. A paradoxical notion of arresting people for crimes before they’ve actually committed them is a beautifully thought provoking concept. Great movie, great visuals, John Williams Score. Great minor supporting appearances from Peter Stormare and Tim Blake Nelson. Spielberg certainly knows how to put a movie together.
- I just revisited Minority Report after twenty years, and I’m amazed at how well it holds up against the Philip K. Dick short story I recently read. It’s actually much more complex than the original text. I usually prefer it when a director puts their own spin on the source material, and Spielberg definitely did that here—by using only about half of the original plot, he created something that feels like a genuine evolution of the story rather than a mere copy.
- There are certain roles that I believe just couldn't have been done without Tom Cruise. This was not one of them. Here is a list of actors I think could've starred in this movie instead and done the same if not better during it's time period: Will Smith (not now, I'm talking about irobot era Will Smith) Keanu Reeves Brad Pitt Matt Damon Leonardo DiCaprio Denzel Washington and if he were a little younger at the time, Harrison Ford.
- “my father once said to me, ‘you don't choose the things you believe in; they choose you.’” should have known it was a philip k. dick adaptation given the type of sci-fi premise. i really love the ethical dilemmas surrounding a surveillance state of this degree and the lengths the government will go to strip someone of their autonomy, even insofar as to still punish them for a crime they never technically committed. hated a lot of the cinematography solely for the lighting choices; i can respect a stylized aesthetic, but that doesn’t mean i have to like it. colin farrell in this film is so sexy and kind of pathetic and it made me feral.
