Minority+Report

Ok. In case you need a review of the film..

This is also kinda neat to check out... []

So let us look into one of the central theme of the film: Fate vs. Free will

[]

The relationship between fate and free will can be classified by the following:

>
 * **Neither Fate Nor Free Will Exist**
 * This one denies free will stating that our choices are just brain-made "echoes" while also denying any "higher power" that decides fate. In theory you can predict people's actions but you would run up against the same problems as predicting the weather and such predictions are in no way mystical.
 * **[|Because Destiny Says So]**
 * **All things are predestined and we all just play our parts. . [|Even trying to change fate through time travel is pointless].**
 * **Fighting Fate Is Hard****
 * Fate exists but is not the be all and end all. Either only [|some people] can [|defy fate] or defying fate takes a lot of effort or resources, almost as if Fate is reality's path of least resistance.
 * **Prophecies Are Guides, Not Rules**
 * While there is fate it is simply the expression of what will happen if nothing else changes and is predictable, but knowledge of fate allows you to overcome it without extraordinary effort.


 * **Prophecies Are Predictions**
 * Predicting the future is like predicting the weather. There is no plan but it is possible to make prophecies and identify destinies by extrapolating from now.
 * **[|Screw Destiny]**
 * **Either there is no such thing as fate or there is no way to find out what is "fated," no way to see into the future and no prophecies, two states that are effectively indistinguishable. If the prophecy exists then it is little more than a portentous guess with no actual power or fate behind it.**
