| Minority Report plot som en si *SPOILERS* Fra : Per Kristensen |

Ja den har været oppe før, men det er utroligt så mange store plothuller der
er i denne film. Selvom jeg stadig syntes det er en fed film, så vil jeg
lige trække et par af de største og sjoveste frem:
1. I've been thinking about this alot, and I've realized that the whole idea
of comitting a murder to look like an "echo" after another one wouldn't
work. If you think about it, that system would work to cover up the visual
part of the premonition, but how would it stop a ball from being created?
Burgess definitely planned to kill Anne Lively, so it should have been a
brown ball. If you compare his plan to kill Lively to any other murder, than
there's really no difference except that he hired someone else to murder her
too. Early on in the film, after Anderton throws the ball across the table
and Witwer catches it, he mentions that the precogs don't see what you
intend to do, only what you do. So if the guys was hired to pretend to kill
Lively, the brown ball would have still said Lamar Burgess, the real killer.
If the fall guy thought that he was going to kill her, then there would have
been two brown balls, one for Lamar and one for him, or one brown ball for
the both of them. No matter how you slice it, there should have been a ball.
Some people think that the techs would have dismissed it as an echo before
it ever got to the ball stage, but there must be a system to identify echoes
beyond a tech saying "yeah, that looks the same". The names are clearly
innate to the vision, so both visions, however similar they looked would
have different murderers attached to them.
2. The police were able to track down John during most of the movie because
his eyes were constantly scanned and his location sent to the cops, yet when
he uses one of his eyes on the scanner to open the door tn the basement of
the pre-crime department, no alarms go off! They were able to track him down
all the way to an old delapidating building but not the police station
itself?
3. In the beginning, when Anderton arrests the jealous husband, he notes
that he is being arrested on April 22 - that day - for the future murder of
his wife and her lover. Later, while Anderton is jogging, we see billboards
advocating a "Yes" vote on pre-crime on April 22. The next day, Anderton's
boss Lamar notes that the vote is in a week, which would make it April 15,
making the day that the jealous husband was arrested April 14, not April 22.
4. After the fight scene in the automobile plant where Anderton is built
into a car on the assembly line, we see him sit up after the car is done
being made. It's obvious that we are looking at the tail-end of the
production process, because we see the car he is in being painted as it
rolls along. When the car is finished, Anderton sits up in the driver's seat
and drives the car out an exit that is apparently right in front of him. If
this is the end of a giant assembly line, where do the rest of the cars go?
Does someone drive all of them off of the line as well?
5. This really confuses me. The guy who got caught/framed for the murder of
the pre-cog's mother was known as "John Doe", because they didn't know his
real name. Then what was the name on his ball?
6. The movie makes a big deal about "pre-crime" going national. Are we to
believe that the same three pre-cogs are now going to cover the entire
nation? (har jeg selv omtalt tidligere)
7. After the first attempted murder of Anne Lively the police would surely
have taken her away to make a statement. Not only do they not do this, but
she is immediately left alone to be murdered, and somehow the police see
nothing odd in her instant vanishing, and they treat it as just another
disappearance.
8. 1) The futures that are projected ONLY come from timelines where the
visions have not had an effect (because you don't see police in the murder
visions crashing through windows). 2) John and Agatha (the Precog girl)
appear in the vision together. 3) If John and Agatha appear in the vision,
then the future that was projected comes from a timeline affected by the
visions. 4) The future that was projected CANNOT come from a timeline
affected by the visions. 5) Therefore, John and Agatha appearing in the
vision is incorrect.
9. If Burgess was planning to kill Anne Lively through that whole elaborate
system, he would have had to think about this for a long time. Wouldn't the
precogs have seen it BEFORE he hired someone else to kill her? He had to
think of killing her himself before anyone else did...
10. The time period of the movie is 2054. There is an election day (April
22nd) that is on a billboard and then announced as a Tuesday. However, April
22nd, 2054 is actually on a Wednesday.
11. In the scene where they give a tour to school children they saw
pre-crime has been running smoothly for 9 years. Anderton's son has been
missing for 6 years why then when John was talking to Burgess did he say if
the company would have been around 6 months earlier his son's death would
have never happened, when the company had been around 3 years earlier?
12. Why at the end of the film do the pre-cogs see the future murder of
Anderton by Von Sydow's character, and thereby enable the cops to appear at
the last minute to save him, when it is in fact his own suicide? Max Von
Sydow knew that the murder would be detected, but clearly wanted to do it
anyway - no information is given to him to change his mind that he didn't
already know, and the cops turn up after the shot is fired, so why was it
ever seen as a murder? Or is this just intended as final proof that the
system doesn't work after all?

Så vidt jeg forstår det, så er det fordi mordet sker før Precrime afdelingen
er lavet, Det er først derefter systemet bliver sat op. Derved er der ikke
lavet noget kulge-system endnu.

Hvis system blev valgt til at skulle være over hele landet, ville regeringen
have retten til at "fremstille" flere "pre-cogs". De første 3 skete ved et
tilfælde, og det vil åbenbart være uetisk at lave nogle flere, uden valg.

Det er den centrale i filmen. Faktisk er det det spørgsmål man skal stille
sig selv. Jeg mener det er bevis på at man selv er herre over sin egen
fremtid.

Easy. Boldene kommer først i løbet af "transmissionen", når de
relevante fakta dukker op. (Som vi ser i Andertons tilfælde, hvor hans
bold først dukker op ret sent.)
Hvis teknikeren opfatter, at det er et ekko, så afbryder han
behandlingen af sagen. Hvis det var et ekko ville der komme et ekstra
sæt bolde med de relevante navne og det ville der ikek være nogen
grund til. Altså: sagsbehandlingen afbrydes tidligt.

Som skrevet et andet sted: Den kælderindgang virker som en "bagdør" på
mere end en måde. Komplekse EDB-systemer har ofte den slags. Jeg kan
huske, at jeg opfattede den som sådan, selv om det ikke fastlægges, at
det er tilfældet. Det, der kan undre, er så hvorfor Anderton er kodet
ind i denne bagdør.

Det er en kontinuitetsfejl. At kalde det et plothul er
sensationsjageri (ligesom det ikke er et plothul, at sagsnummeret 1008
står på skærmen, mens Anderton arbejder på sag 1009)

De har naturligvis allesammen et elektronisk navigationssystem, der
kører dem ud af døren og hen på lageret. Man må gerne tænke selv.

Heh. Ja, den er faktisk god.

Måske. Vi kender ikke teknologien i detaljer, så måske er det
muligt. Det kan også være, at man vil klone dem. Igen: Det er for
pokker ikke alting, der behøver at blive forklaret, for at man kan
acceptere det.
Jeg mener: "In Star Wars the Millenium Falcon flies at speeds _above_
the speed of light. That is impossible. How do they do that?"
Nej vel?

Hun var narkoman. Du ville blive chokeret over hvor lidt man faktisk
gør for at finde ud af hvad der er sket med forsvundne narkomaner.

Igen: Logik og precog-plots er som olie og vand. De er plot devices, ganske
som tidsrejser er det, og man kan ikke forvente alt for megen
konsistens i måden de virker på. Man kan sagtens lave forklaringer på,
hvorfor det ovenstående kan ske i dette tilfælde, men det er
meningsløst.

Mordet på Anderton i visionen var et affektmord.

Som tidligere beskrevet så er det i en tidlig version af PreCrime-fasen.
Desuden så ser man også at dem der styrer det (eller ihvertfald de fleste af
dem) selv tager ud til gerningsstedet. Jeg kan forestille mig at Lamar har
haft indflydelse nok til at holde kontoret tomt, og igen: Der er nok ikke
noget kuglesystem på det tidspunkt.

De ledte aktivt efter ham på det tidspunkt. Der gik jo ingen alarmer igang
da han bevægede sig rundt i byen. Jeg kan også godt forestille mig at det
interne system er isoleret fra resten af netværket for at forhindre indbrud
via hacking.

Nej, filmen gjorde det IMO rimeligt klart at de kun kunne dække et relativt
lille område (en by f.eks.)

Det var ikke planlagt... Kald det evt. en crime of passion. Lamar havde
planlagt at skyde Anderson og ikke sig selv.

Så synes jeg stadig, min indvending er relevant. Hvorfor smuttede Lamar
ikke uden for byen og nakkede hende?

Ja, den var værre.
Måske var hun ikke lige sådan at få udenfor byen? (iøvrigt virker det som om

Måske fordi alle pre-coqs også opfanger mord, der bliver planlagt i deres
nærhed. Vi ser jo tilsidst dem i en hytte på Lars Tyndskids marker.

Lamar må kende alt til oraklernes dækning. Med en stribe cola kunne han
let have lokket Mama Oracle med i et privatfly og fløjet til Australien,
hvor han i fred og ro kunne have basket hende.

Hun var jo blevet stoffri :) Og hvor meget grund ville hun have til at stole
på ham, der har stjålet hendes datter?

I oraklernes område foregår mord"efter"forskning vha. oraklerne.
Udenfor oraklernes område foregår det på gammeldags vis.
Hvis Lamar begår mordet som "ekko-mord" indenfor oraklernes område, så
bliver han ikke opdaget, men begår han det udenfor, løber han præcis
den samme risiko som du og jeg gør i dag.
