Steven Spielberg’s Interpretation of Philip K. Dicks’s Minority Report

Steven Spielbergs Interpretation of Philip K. Dickss Minority Report In the year 2054 crime has become a thing of the past. The relatively upstart Pre-Crime system allows the government to operate an elite police force, which with the help of trine very talented and unique human beings can see into the rising and prevent countless crimes, especially murders before they happen. In Philip K. Dickss brusque narrative, The Minority Report, the world we live in is nearly infallible. With the reduction of ruby criminal acts, people can live their lives in peace and successfulness without the fear of the pain and suffering, which usually accompanies violence. Likewise, in director Steven Spielbergs 2002 celluloid re-creation of Dicks renowned written report, Spielberg also offers up an cipher of a nearly flawless society whose foundation is about to be tested to its limits. The atmosphere Philip K. Dick immersed the reader into in his unmindful story about wh at is to come of crime and the future is very fast paced.
