Dick has been one of the pioneers in science fiction writing. His stories, ‘The Adjustment Bureau’ and ‘The Minority Report’, are two of the best examples of a conflict discussed below. “The Minority Report” is on some unacknowledged sections of the (society i.e) minority but it has nothing to do with society.

Steven Spielberg’s Interpretation of Philip K. Dicks’s Minority Report In the year 2054 crime has become a thing of the past. The relatively new Pre-Crime system allows the government to operate an elite police force, which with the help of three very talented and unique human beings can see into the future and prevent countless crimes, especially murders before they happen.

In the movie Minority Report, a team of officers led by John Anderson (Tom Cruise), work together in the precime division. They collect information given by precogs to find
Neo-Marxist filmmakers were greatly influenced by Althusser’s theory of ideology, which viewed film as an ideological apparatus that tried to determine how films turn viewers into their subject, and encourage them to believe not only in the represented reality, but also in their preferred one, the one that could not exist without their structuring. For example, the Jean Louis Baudry’s article “Ideological effects of the Basic Cinematographic Apparatus” (1985) says that the making of movies is a

When someone says protagonist, what does one usually think of? Generally, the words ‘good guy’ and ‘hero’ come to mind first, but are those words used correctly? Is the protagonist really a hero? In George Orwell’s 1984 and Philip k. Dick’s Minority Report, two different protagonists who commit ‘hero-like’ acts are shown. These acts on outside seem like they are benefiting the greater good, when in reality they help almost no one. The side effects of their actions are avoided to make the protagonists
what if it could float, instead? Then, you may try and change its future by catching it but ultimately, it is going to float. When you know the outcome to a situation, you may try and change it, but you cannot change the future.

Monuments and Masculinity Roland Emmerich’s Independence Day (1996) mirrors the ideology of a sci-fi film outlined by Susan Sontag in the Imagination of Disaster so closely that it borders on a lack of creativity. That is what qualifies this film as a ‘revival’ of the sci-fi genre following revisionist works like Steven Spielberg’s E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). This film, among other things, believes that femininity in leadership will lead to disaster on the political stage and that personal
