Abstract

As a historical artefact, Minority Report will be linked to the 9/11 terrorist attacks and at least partly viewed as a cultural symptom of that crisis as well as other issues that symptomatize American identity at the turn of the century. Spielberg extrapolated his vision of a realistic near-future from other filmmakers, such as François Truffaut and Alfred Hitchcock. This postcyberpunk metafilm references the history of cinema and the SF genre, thematising image-addiction in the vein of Scott Bukatman’s Terminal Identity.It differs significantly from the source material. Spielberg retools Dick’s ‘The Minority Report’ into a definitively Spielbergian story, with hallmarks like the broken-family motif. A 2015 TV series based on the film pales in comparison but teases out some core ideas.

背景故事：终极身份

作为一件历史文物，《少数派报告》将与9/11恐怖袭击联系在一起，至少在一定程度上被视为那场危机的文化症状，以及在世纪之交体现美国身份的其他问题。斯皮尔伯格从弗朗索瓦·特吕弗（francois Truffaut）和阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克（Alfred Hitchcock）等其他电影制作人那里推断出他对现实主义近未来的看法。这部后赛博朋克的元电影参考了电影史和科幻类型，以斯科特·布卡特曼（Scott Bukatman）的《终极身份》（Terminal Identity）为主题，将图像成瘾作为主题。它与原始材料有很大的不同。斯皮尔伯格将迪克的《少数派报告》（The Minority Report）改编成一个完全符合斯皮尔伯格风格的故事，带有破碎家庭的主题等特点。2015年根据这部电影改编的电视剧相比之下显得苍白，但却梳理出了一些核心思想。
