A system that uses three humans who can see into the future; predicting a murder and the justice system could use it to their advantage to prevent the crime from happening seems like the perfect system or is it? Where would the flaws of this system come into play? Could predictions of the prophecy-filled future be just a mere thought, or could the system be corrupted by humans interfering with the data? The short story The Minority Report and the action film Minority Report both face the challenge of the Chief Commissioner of the Police Office John Anderton, both made up of a force to be wrongly arrested for the murder of a man whose Anderton he didn't even know it was the biggest similarity the novel and the film have in common. But there are differences between the two; by the setting, the characters and their description, plot, theme and conclusion. Perhaps the best example of what an imaginative director does with an intellectually minded tale is what Steven Spielberg does to a Phillip K. Dick tale in the film Minority Report. . By manipulating the story and putting his own spin on things, Spielberg was able to change the setting, place, time, setting and even the character description, values, adventures, even the conclusion of the film and making the film more interesting than Philip K. . Dick's Tale. In The Minority Report by Philip K. Dick John Anderton was a middle-aged man who was the creator of the system that could predict a murder before it became reality by using three physical humans and a computer system that printed cards that indicated who was the victim and murder. Anderton was the Chief Commissioner of the New York Police Department and was a married man... center of card... lips K Dick. Using the Precrime system to allow John Anderton in the story and film to see into the future; he would use it to his advantage to change his future, which would ultimately play a major role in whether Precrime continued to function or became a mere memory for the citizens. It was interesting to see how Steven Spielberg managed to keep the same plot as Philip K. . Dick, but he was also manipulative and creative enough to change the outcome of the story by ending the Precrime system and creating a happy ending for the protagonist. Meanwhile Dick had John Anderton kill his victim to justify that the system he created worked. Additionally, Spielberg changed the setting and character description to draw more attention to the film since the characters and setting in Philip K. Dick's original fairy tale were more suited to the intellectual reader..
