The legendary Steven Spielberg’s work over the last 30 years in the motion picture industry is truly outstanding, with classics ranging from “Jaws” to “Saving Private Ryan,” and “Lincoln.” Now mesh in one of Hollywood’s biggest hunks with a fantatsic director, and you have all the right moves for a timeless sci-fi film. Men and women with Coral Springs real estate need to watch Tom Cruise starring in Steven Spielberg’s futuristic “Minority Report” again.
The 2002 release is set in Washington D.C., 2016, when technology can actually detect violent crimes in the near future. With Spielberg’s direction of DreamWorks’ graphics and Jerry McGuire’s million-dollar presence, “Minority Report” is based on the short story by Philip K. Dick, the same writer who brought us the sci-fi classics, “Blade Runner” and “Total Recall.” There is an original score by John Williams and the piece was edited by Michael Kahn. The two are among a few good men who’ve worked alongside Spielberg since day one.
In “Minority Report,” Cruise is Detective John Anderton, working risky business within a police division. Matt Damon had originally been discussing the role, but ultimately Cruise, who once turned down the role in Spielberg’s “Always,” signed on for “Minority Report.” Spielberg also came close to working with Tom Cruise when he almost directed Charlie Babbitt in the award winning “Rain Man.”
Folks with homes for sale in Coral Springs see Anderton put people in custody before they even commit their crimes, thanks to “Precogs.” The Plexiglas pods look more like extra-terrestrials than robots, surrounded by elaborate psychic visions and life support equipment. Serving as DreamWorks’ eye-candy, the audience sees the future world, from the artificial intelligence’s point of view quite often.
Anderton is in charge of the controversial “Precrime” unit, an operation that seizes the opportunity to stop violent acts and punish the crime before it’s even committed. Toss in human jealousy, a culture’s strong opposition to the moral judgement calls of the computerized decision-makers, the infringement of American rights, a little tightly woven humor and you have the setting for “Minority Report.” Anderton has the tables turned on him when he is the one actually accused of a future crime. The maverick ventures off to find out what brought it about and stop it, a mission seemingly impossible.
Filled with steamy moments and romantic twists, “Minority Report” weaves Spielberg’s customary ethics and morality, crime and punishment, as well DreamWorks’ Jurassic computer graphics. Folks with Coral Springs homes for sale will enjoy one hair-raising scene showing off a futuristic Lincoln Memorial with close encounters at our nation’s capital. The film suggests questions, such as, Is someone programming the “Precogs” to murder? Is there a margin of error in the “Precog’s” predictions?
Before “Schindler’s List,” “Saving Private Ryan,” and “Lincoln,” Spielberg gave us versions of our world today where science fiction elements enter our ordinary settings. Hollywood refused to take his sci-fi films seriously. Critics felt that his work lacked “seriousness” subjects. They were about fantasy and innocence. Now individuals and families in Coral Springs luxury homes can enjoy DreamWorks’ digitally enhanced software representing the future, filled with Jurassic graphics and die-hard action scenes.
