This film explores identity the way that ‘you are, who you are’. It’s more about trying hiding from yourself (or what you are going to do). It’s a well thought out film with strong theories about how this system they created works. It’s’ called ‘PreCrime’ and it allows people to see into the future before a murder is committed. People are then punished before the crime is committed. As with all systems with humans involved there are flaws. The system can get confused if murders occur which looks exactly the same as other.

The main character has to prove he is innocent to a crime he currently had not committed. There’s a scene in the movie where he had to get his eyes replaced, as in the future identity is from the iris. This muscle is individual to each person just like a fingerprint. Like in Gattiaca identity is from the body part which is individual to each person. In both movies the main character has to hide his real identity to allow them to reach their goals.
I thought that a lot of the movie wasn’t too helpful with my ideas. It dealt with identity briefly and the rest was about how he has to prove himself innocent.
