Minority Report

As much as I did not like the movie it does bring up some very interesting issues. I did not like the movie for the simple fact that I am not a fan of futuristic, science fiction type movies nor a fan of Tom Cruise. Anyways that aside, the movie (although nothing like the book) housed some gender issues as well as an interesting plot.
The movie was very masculine clearly reiterating Tom Cruise as the male head figure of Precrime. In fact all of the head characters were notoriously masculine, except for that of Agatha. Agatha was the "talent" of the precogs, the one in which the other precogs would not be able to function. Like the story,the movie portrayed to precogs as selfless and helpless almost mentally uncapacitated in a way. The movie clearly denoted females in a sexist stereotypical way. The women were needy, and the solving of the plot was left up to the males with information provided by the females.
The plot was interesting, and I liked the twist of having Lamar being responsible for the murder. The movie is not what my interpretation would be from reading the story, but the futuristic techonology was really creative. There were several differences that I really didn't think made sense, such as having balls instead of notecards that tell the victem and the killer. The wife was also not thought of to be involved with the conspiracy against Anderton as in the story.
