Top ten Spielberg for me this one.

jmundt33a

Agatha is Samantha Morton. Original casting for the AI in Her

jmundt33a

And Sean is dead. At least that’s the implication. They tried to do a sequel TV series. It was okay. Not great. And a shoutout in a reaction to one of my favorite Cruise movies. Surprise bonus!

Pat Poling

And that’s one excellent thumbnail

Prof. Writhms

That thumbnail... LOL Simone looks like she is seeing something disgusting George is about to do.

Mastervodo

Another great thumbnail!

This movie is one of Spielberg's masterpieces, bar none. It's a culmination of all of the elements he was experimenting with throughout the 90's. Also I'm pretty sure that Simone is right that Agatha is describing an alternate future, because in the future she describes, both of the parents are there. But Sean and his parents were robbed of that future.

Ian Hunt

I always read it as Agatha giving an alternate future where their son didn’t go missing, so another nod towards what the precogs see isnt necessarily what is going to happen, but what could have happened, so again, the whole system is flawed

A few years ago I saw somebody point out how the aesthetic in this film is such an interesting inversion of the usual cyberpunk aesthetic: Instead of being dark, everything is BRIGHT. The film is overexposed, there’s lights everywhere, and so much of it comes as washed-out instead of being covered in shadow. But it’s just as dystopian as the dark and shadowed cyberpunk, since a bright light shining in your eyes has the same effect as no light at all: Either way you can’t see what’s happening. My biggest critique of the concept is the “No trial, no appeal, instant incarceration for EVERY precrime subject” since it just doesn’t make much sense. Even if the precogs are 100% accurate, there’s still questions of mitigating circumstances, motive, and other factors that determine real-life sentencing. It’s a lengthy process even when the courts do have incontrovertible proof of guilt. I think the Multivac series by Isaac Asimov handled precrime as a better concept. The computer Multivac is the one predicting the crimes in that situation, and since they’re just statistical projections there’s no punishment for PREDICTED crime. Instead the police issue a “We know, don’t do it” warning, or take them into preventative custody, and then they’re released because they haven’t actually DONE anything yet. Just like real life when somebody is planning a crime and is discovered. Sometimes merely planning the crime is a crime in itself, but in that instance they are charged with the planning, not the doing.

I’m not sure the precogs will continue to have dreams of murder and whatnot because it was based on activity in a certain proximity to them, and now they’re living in the middle of nowhere. Unless I’m misremembering how it works.

I liked the TV show, if it lasted a few more seasons it could’ve fleshed out what precogs were up to. Definitely worth a watch. There was a recent play (more a spin-off). Set in the present, a bit heavy handed, but questioned free will and destiny, and a lot of fun. Ironically I’ve not read the short story.

JokerDanny

Hey guys just letting you know that Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is now available for home viewing, hope you guys react to it.

Damian

A few random thoughts. Samantha Morton is an amazing actress. It still haunts me when she screams ”RUUUUNNNNNNNNNNN”. This was the first thing I saw Colin Farrell in, and it turned out he does a great Irish accent as well, oh wait. George is right, his character is introduced as the antagonist, you’re meant to dislike him and it turns out he’s just very good at his job. I never had a problem with ‘precrime’ as a thing (obviously you can’t treat the precogs like that). You should use that information, and haloing the perpetrator, for a crime they haven’t committed yet, is questionable. But if the precogs thought there was an issue involving a loved one, I would be acting on it, I wouldn’t be saying ‘they haven’t committed a crime yet’. The phone is a bang & olufsen earphone from back in the day, super cool but fiddly. Phenomenal thumbnail as always!

Jeff K

For more Max von Sydow, just a reminder: y'all really need to watch Strange Brew.

Ginger

I have such a love-hate-relationship with this one. This is a great movie but I can never watch it again. Something about the way it's shot I find so throroughly unpleasant, plus the jump scares - but it's really well made and an interesting story.

John Zelinka

As of 2022 adultery was a crime in 14 U.S. states and the U.S. military. Though rarely enforced in the civilian world it is treated harshly in the military, but often only brought in conjunction with charges for another offense.

You may not know this, but according to Ian, July is Canadian National Watch Monkey Movies Month.

Arnie Cox

Philip K.Dick ftw

Gatsby

Amazing reaction! Please watch Cloud Atlas are The Curious Case of Benjamin Button🍿

When I saw this in the theater, all the press and advertising kept pushing how this was Spielberg being dark, that it was very different from his other movies, like his Blade Runner. While watching the movie I couldn't stop myself from laughing at how corny and silly it was in so many places. The cat on the piano got my biggest laugh. The moment they showed his wife pregnant, my friend and I groaned and left the theater immediately. Sorry, this wasn't dark. Temple of Doom and Jurassic Park 1 & 2 were darker and meaner. This was Spielberg at his schmalziest.

dys

The vision of future technology in this movie was so memorable that when the first iPhone was announced 5 years later, my reaction was "holy shit, that's the tech from Minority Report".

I think you're right. They can only see things that are relatively close to them. That's why they only predict murders in the DC area, and not all over the world.

Jeff Norwood-Brown

I want “Oh - that’s nice” at 6:20 as my ring tone. Made me laugh so much. Thanks you two.

For the most part, the abstractions were really fun and prescient - but the one thing (and lots of those elements are like that) that stuck with me as so hilariously cumbersome, it might as well be a real-life feature that just always sucked... it's the glass tablet being used to ferry freaking dossiers on the subjects from one transparent pane to the next. Like lmao, could have just projected a soccer ball or something and have him dropkick the virtual files over to Tom, but I guess we need to do it physically for folks to look at something nifty. Still very much love the look, the cyberpunk-adjacent stuff was done very well, as expected. Dark shit too, you get the goofy Spielbergisms to make it a PG-13 movie, but it works, at least mostly.

Mikeo8575

I highly recommend reading some Philip K. Dick

Onikaze

for a great cyber-punk-like movie with some more brain-dance inspiration check out Strange Days with Ralph Fiennes and Angela Bassett. what I consider a highly underrated movie.

I mean, I think it's best just to forget the "press" and preconceived notions and try to take the movie as it is. There are some silly moments in it that don't really work. (Most of the comedic inserts are kind of random and clunky.) But 20 years later, I'm still impressed by how good the good parts are. Also, if you try to think of it more in terms of "Terry Gilliam," then the goofy moments don't seem quite as incongruous with the rest of it.

EnwhyZee

I don't think the pre-cogs are viewing time the in the same way. They are working on the principle that all of time and space exist at the same time. This would include every possible choice, and outcome also existing. The precogs are viewing in multiple dimensions each a possible matching future. I think when she was in the house talking about the boy growing up it was a future that existed in some universe, just not the one they were in.

WastedPo

I'm glad you liked this. Like I said in an earlier comment, I've always really liked this movie, despite the fact that there are some clunky interjections of humor, and the "happy ending" doesn't quite land for me. That said, it's amazing that over two decades later, the intriguing and gripping aspects of this still work really well. The world-building, the acting, the aesthetic. People have complained about how abrasive the look of this movie is. (As George noted, the overblown lights, not to mention the desaturation and super-high levels of grain.) But I honestly feel if it had been shot more conventionally, it would've felt more dated by now. By having such an outrageous look, it's like it's immune to being pegged to a certain era (well, to a degree). As far as the scene in the bedroom towards the end, my interpretation has always been that Sean probably was killed by whoever kidnapped him at the pool. (Though we never know for sure.) What Agatha was "seeing" was an alternate future that would've happened had Sean never been kidnapped.

Adam K

As a break from all the sci fi stuff - 3 Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri is a fantastic movie - a moving classic that I strongly recommend.

Dan Holmes

As of December 1, 2023, adultery is a criminal offense in 17 states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico: Felonies: Oklahoma, Michigan, and Wisconsin Misdemeanors: Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Virginia

Trevor Rotan

This movie a great allegory about criminal Justice, and the idea of capital punishment. No matter how high tech criminal investigations become, there are always flaws in the system, and the wrong person can be accused and found guilty.

James W.

The pre-cog ability is sort of unclear but I'm pretty sure the vision she relays about Sean is a possible future for what might have happened for him, as one of you said, an alternate reality. The other option is that Agatha and the twins started making up alternate stories for the people in their visions as a coping mechanism. I feel like if she had that much detailed info about him she would have been able to find him.

They talked about that in the Trivia section after watching “Her” but I guess they forgot the actor’s name because they didn’t seem to make the connection here.

I forgot Neal McDonough was in this. He's also in Ravenous (1999), if you guys want another opportunity to say, "Hey, Band of Brothers!" maybe check it out.

0:12 How does it feel, Simone, huh?! :-) 6:08 Abre los ojos, cabron! :-)

Monica Alarcon

I got so used to the beanie that now Simone looks strange to me with the top of her head visible...

Aaron

I just want to say that "Tom Cruise Control" is a really good joke. I genuinely appreciated how both genius and shitty it was

3dbadboy1

I believe what she saw was a future if John's son had lived.

Robert Casey

The author was also the one who wrote stories that later were adapted to become Blade Runner, Total Recall, Paycheck, Next, The Adjustment Bureau, and A Scanner Darkly.

Lex Kuzma

As others said, Samantha's visions for their son were alternate realities, but the fact that she can see them, means they are just as real as what "actually" happened, which is why the parents were comforted. The dead never die if every experience they had is still with us. As for "why didn't the precogs flag a play rehearsal" or even the fight between Colin Ferrell and Tom Cruise, you need to remember that they only alert when a murder is committed. Intent doesn't matter at all. If that fight had ended with one of them dead, then the precogs would have flagged it, but the fact that they both came out alive means it never hit their radar.

I don't think your argument is valid. People see many things in their imagination. Even if a psychic was real there is no reason to believe that 100% of they imagine is real. What if the real number is 98%? That's enough for her to be totally wrong right here. All it takes is for the son (if he had not been killed) to be told his future by a random psychic and every prediction about his future could then be made invalid by him making new choices just like his father did in this version of reality
