Minority Report

I have never seen Minority Report. However, I do recall some previews. I feel like the setting was sometime in the future and it is almost a Sci Fi film. I feel that a movie adaptation of the short story could be very similar to the short story. I feel that keeping the same name would be appropriate as well and character names. I feel that giving the film adaptation as many special effect opportunities as possible would help keep the viewers' attention. One way to add in these special effects is to have a scene featuring the Pre-Cogs. I think that they should appear very strange, almost as if they were aliens. Also the machines that read the thoughts and sounds of these Pre-Cogs should be featured in the film. Allowing the audience to view the machines and Pre-cogs reinforces the setting as well as serves as a possible symbol of this type of government intervention. They were described as the "three gibbering, fumbling creatures, with their enlarged heads and wasted bodies." This is not a pleasant description by any means, and I feel that this is could be a symbol very early on about the authors views on government intervention in citizens lives. The author goes on talking about how whatever was coming out of their mouths was "incoherent utterances" and "random syllables". Again i feel like these beings play a very large role as symbols early on and should most definitely be featured in the film.
