Blog 13: Minority Report Response

     A world that is perfect, great in every way, no murder in sight, predetermined by the “precogs. I think society should just simply care for security and nothing else. I really believe that we should all be safe while roaming the streets or whether we’re in some public place. I would rather give up my privacy, because at least I know I’ll be safe wherever I go.  The movie minority report depicts a perfect Utopian world, a place where no crimes have taken place since the start of Precrime task force. The “Precogs” are these mutated human with the power to see the future. Under director Lamar Burgess, chief of the task force John Anderton and other officers would analyze and interpret these visions to find out where it would happen and track down the murders so they could intercept and act fast so that it never happened. As the movie goes deeper and deeper into the main idea, we see that society has come to accept a world where the government invades your privacy. Killers are being arrested and put in to chambers and locked down like there frozen for life. People are safer because they choose to have a system like that. For example when “Howard Marks is in bedroom putting on his glasses when a group of armed police officers breaks in, frantically tackles him, and slaps restraints on him” because he “is under arrest for the future murder of Sarah Marks and Donald Dubin, a crime passion that was to occur just seconds in the future when he found his wife in bed with her lover.” Although I think we should just care for security and forget about people’s freewill, the Precrime system is very much flawed. I think that it was the right decision for Mr. Marks to be put in jail because we all want safety.  Then if this is so true then we don’t have free will, we’re all just all human working like a computer. In the movie John Anderton is being set up. As those visions started playing, he is immediately confused and shock because he is for seen killing Leo Crow. He is being set up because Director Lamar wanted him to find this guy and kill him because he thinks that he killed his son. The system is flawed because he finds out that his future can be averted, which puts doubt in because he may have a secondary future.

Special Project: MOMI activity

During your visit to the Museum of the Moving Image, you must have realized that both the layout of the museum and the course of the guides' tour create a narrative. Discuss what you understood that narrative to be and what your reaction (positive, negative, skeptical) is to this narrative.

     During the visit to the museum of the moving image I was impressed with the things I saw. The Phenakistoscope was so cool. I was literally so into the spinning wheel. The snakes were like going into this deep black hole and if you spin it in the other direction its looks like their coming out. The Feral Fount was so amazing. It was the best thing I ever saw. Dough was like passing through the hand. It had flashing lights and it was spinning really fast. The Charlie Chaplin penny arcade was like looking into a slideshow. You have to manually turn it to see the picture go really fast. It had all his movies stored on mini films. The Linda Blair doll was in the movie the Exorcist. It was so cool. I loved that scary doll, it was so real and it looks like it was alive. I saw the Freddy Kruger hand claws. It was so amazing. I wish I had it for Halloween. They had Freddy’s chest and his huge shirt. I loved the Egyptian theater. The drawings was really well done.
