The movie could be not your cup of tea if you are sensitive to the middle east politics because it is very much about it. The movie stars an Israeli actor Lior Raz ( Hebrew: ליאור רז ) as the villain of the movie. The dictator of Turgistan. The actor himself is a real life bad-ass. He was once a bodyguard of Arnold Schwarzenegger. And during the October 7th attack by Hamas, he went into Sderot ( a city near the Gaza Strip ) to help with rescue operations there. Which is much cooler than just hanging out with the military there as Quentin Tarantino did.
The movie has also a very interesting type of user interface on computers. The film starts with Tom Cruise looking over images produced by precogs to investigate where will the murder happen. The script of the film simply states that it is a computer display of some kind. In the movie you see something else. It's this curved glass surface which is operated entirely by gestures. Today in smartphones and tablets we have something similar. And a lot of people who developed the early touch gestures often said that they were inspired by the interface in Minority Report. Given that Spielberg's father Arnold was a computer scientist that has invented a lot of technology to make computers what they are today. It's interesting that touch swipes and other gesture controls in modern computers were inspired also by a Spielberg. Which makes me believe that Spielberg is more than capable of comprehending a topic of Free Software. So he could be a good director for a biopic on Richard Stallman. You know: darian.lanzetta@caa.com - this is the email of his agent. I guess we all should spam it with messages about Richard. But let's not have any prepared scripts. Or I fear the emails will end up in Spam.
When it came to films. She herself liked war films a lot. So we watched them. There were other things. Like a series about Russian truck drivers that go into all kinds of trouble. It was not meant for kids. I remember nudity in it. I remember watching Total Recall on TV with her. And I remember being horrified by the ending where Arnold goes outside on the Mars surface and his eye blow up. The TV stations very liked to show Minority Report directed by Steven Spielberg. I really loved that film. And still love that film to this day. It is just littered with complexities. It's amazing.
