![]() ![]() If the Precrime department halted the crime, from a cause and effect point of view only the capability to commit the crime could have been punished, making it a sort of thoughtcrime (although really more of a psych-crime if you ask me, like say, locking up paedophiles or homicidal sociopaths before they strike). I think though that the makers (and Dick himself) were more concerned with the plot than the philosophical ramifications of the film, to be honest. The whole thoughtcrime aspect of Minority Report was one of my main criticisms of the film. It may help to consider the example shown in the film itself of the Precrime unit collaring a murderer-to-be: the crime is clearly (to have been) a spur-of-the-moment action, and it's arguable whether the guy had even formed the intention to commit it when the cops intervened. I have removed a reference to thoughtcrime from the article, because it's irrelevant: the characters in Minority Report are not arrested for thinking of committing murder, but for the crime itself (even though, in the event, they do not get the opportunity to commit the crime). 21 Anderton dreams happy ending due to halo?.15 Original research in Themes -> Eyes and Themes -> The ending.14 The Ending & Why they should have kept Precrime. ![]() ![]()
