Great movie.

Nature always takes its course ,trying to play god never works out

Just like R2 holds the plans, Agatha holds the Minority Report. When the MacGuffin is a character, the audience cares about it more

Had the urge to watch this scene again. Was thinking about how exposition is handled in films. And I remembered this scene being a huge exposition dump yet felt very natural and smooth. So just wanted to hop back in and see the genius of how Spielberg handled the exposition dump here with his signature camera movements and blocking.

This scene has stuck with me over the decades, like many from the film. This actress's performance is one of many in the film which are both captivating and deeply unsettling.

Great movie. Still don’t understand why they don’t have WiFi, though; hell, WE had it when the movie came out.

1:15-Some pretty good (though short) ASMR. Actually, most of it works like that, but I’m obsessed with her making the tea for some reason 😸😸😸

That’s Lois Smith; she played Partia in Five Easy Pieces and Aunt Meg in Twister.

I love Lois' delivery and her clever asides-"your illegal climb over my wall", "excuse me a former policeman," "actually I think you'll have to run out"-just spectacular. Her improvised kiss was the icing on the cake. Actors like Lois Smith and Diana Rigg easily show younger actors how it's done.

I just seriously had to see this clip....I am not a female, i am gifted, but i keep thinking what its like to be female and gifted....lol.....like what she says near the end of this clip......its always in the more gifted...then Tom Cruise is like....which one is that....and she says "the female"....lol

This film becomes one of my favorite by Spielberg with every single watch. Criminally underrated!

This film is aging like fine wine, and is even a little prescient

“Who wants a justice system that instills doubt”

I can personally promise you that what she says at 7:00 is absolutely true. Pure desperation has a way of showing you who a person REALLY is. Experience has taught me to never, EVER turn my back on despiration...no matter how close they are to me.

Lois Smith hive, rise!

I know people like to say, “This person or that person should get a Oscar nomination” for something. But I was so invested by this actress she’s deserving of some kind of acting award for this.

You’ll find few scenes that show just how great of a craftsman Spielberg is better than this one. This whole scene is a 7-minute exposition dump, the kind of thing that can stop a movie dead. In Spielberg’s hands it’s visually interesting, tightly edited, and moves so damn fast. He is a consummate filmmaker.

It wasn't until I saw this scene that I realized how incredible Lois Smith is. I've seen her in other things, but she was remarkable in this scene.

She gets her line wrong at 4:12. It should be "unreasonable" not "reasonable" for it to make logical sense in the context.

Some1 plz explain that random kiss by Iris bc it was incredibly weird

Iris is clever and creepy. Her isolated greenhouse is wreathed in gray light and she's surrounded by writhing sinister plants, making her resemble a Shakespearean witch or Greek oracle who warns the hero of his inevitable doom. She's a dark mentor to John, guiding him towards the truth while cautioning him of the the risks he must take along the way.

Even in the future plants are thriving! Very encouraging to our species as a whole!

Nice sarracenias

Would love to have a greenhouse like this! There were actually more real carnivorous plants in this scene than CG ones.

THIS MOVIE PLOT IS BRILLIANT AND THR ACTING, DIRECTION AND PRODUCTION VALUES ARE FIRST CLASS

her pace comes from decades of experience, she uses vocal variety and movement to break up the beats without wasting time - think on it, if most movies spend too much time on a moment of explanation, they lose the audience. she has SO much to get through so she knows to get through it quickly - but with experienced ability to make so many various layers of explanation, it moves swiftly but as easily and genuinely as possible while building the stupid music tension. LOIS SMITH, MASTER ACTOR, YET NOT KNOWN. her first film was also James Dean's first

Im wondering if she knew about Lamar Burgess killing Ann Lively and how dirty it all became, she wants Precrime brought down and the Precogs saved, and gives just enough hints including the “minority report” for an ace detective like Anderton to be motivated in setting off on his quest to figure it all out.

I’m confused by the kiss

This is an underrated classic, back when Tom was putting our one epic movie about every Christmas or so. I never much liked the man, but he is a phenomenal actor and imo this was my favorite of his.

ugh, feminists

@4:46 Get away from my momma 🤣🤣

We all need to find our Minority Reports.

If you guys understood the end of the movie and how it's Anderton's repeating loop of how he wished life would have gone after going into his pre-crime cell, you'll realize this movie is Anderton's fate of being put into an MK-Ultra scenario in a corrupt-ass world, and you'll realize the 'Oracle' is one of the most messed up villains in cinematic history. She fabricated the idea that the pre-cogs will 'disagree', likely being a part of a pedophile ring in which case her and Lamar worked together to not only cover up the fact that they were trying to dismantle pre-crime because a few people within the system itself were likely onto them and their past, but because Agatha more than likely suppressed sharing the full extent of a pre-crime vision in the water, in which case there would have been no crime at all, because the system IS a perfect system when the pre-cogs are working together, and she knew Anderton had the heart NOT to KILL....Agatha's role was to be the pre-cog who could read people's hearts....Agatha was BEYOND between a rock and a hard spot because she, on one hand, was putting all her eggs into one basket that Anderton wouldn't abduct her from Pre-Crime headquarters, and her personal downfall was that she had a heart to get Anderton out of pre-crime headquarters by going along with the very scenario the Oracle wanted her to comply with, knowing full well the exit route downward escape route was put there purposely as a fail-safe if this scenario arose......on the same token she was hoping there was no corruption within the pre-crime headquarters itself, but you know it's a corrupt system when the pre-crime team arrives late to allow the crime to happen at the end of the movie......but what threw a wrench in it all and why this movie is an absolute tragedy for Agatha is because this movie was Agatha's attempt to do what? To stop Anderton from ever abducting her from pre-crime headquarters and being told that there is such a thing as a 'Minority Report', a bold-faced form of manipulation in which Agatha was likely told that if pre-crime is past time, they consider it a Minority Report......The mind-blow is the mall scene.....Agatha is using reverse psychology by 'hiding in plain sight' because the pre-crime officers knew she was going along with them seeing her in hopes that they wouldn't be corrupt regarding whether or not the idea of a Minority Report is a fail-safe in itself, represented by the number Pi, 22/7......in other words, Agatha's strategy was to play a required dangerous game of eyewitness accounts stating they saw a disgruntled fugitive on the run about the same time as they saw the cops....This was required because the time of the so hopefully counted-on 'Minority Report' concept had to get as close to the wire as possible, both with witnesses, time, and arrival at destination at that time. This movie is an absolute tragedy, the most corrupt 'Oracle' in cinematic history, Agatha knowing full well that the 'Oracle' was a sick, twisted woman who had the escape route in Pre-Crime Headquarters as a fail-safe and probably most of the Pre-Crime team in on LETTING Anderton run, almost GUIDING him to the scene of the crime, using reverse psychology (even an attempt by Crow to see if Anderton, first off, knew what an MK-Ultra scenario was, which was also an attempt to confuse him and take Anderton off his logical guard, switching from a moment of pride in which, as sad and angry as he was, fought through the anger only to be told the bold move he just made was based on a fabrication) and instead of the Oracle being a guiding light for Anderton and just letting her reputation or lifestyle or whatever it was the Oracle was holding onto go, she chose to protect an agenda, all while getting Anderton put into a pre-crime pod and set up for two murders in which the 'Utopian' ending is merely Anderton's repeating dream in his pod. The Oracle probably got Agatha locked up for aiding a fugitive on the run and leading Anderton to the scene of the crime so any credibility she has will be lost, especially when that factor is combined with the fact that they would utilize Agatha's mother's former drug usage to paint an even grimmer picture of the situation. This is my analysis of the movie, let me know if you think I'm pure ignorant or if this resonates with you as as the possible answer to what this movie is really about.

"But occasionally, they do disagree." Perfect delivery of a wham line, and I love that she picks that little piece off the plant as she does so. Just perfect.

I love how much movement there was in this garden.

Stay true to the badge while possibly surviving. Go pass the torch.

If you listen very closely you find deep understanding in the script. The display in the background is futurist.

One of my favorite film scene’s of all time. She killed it! I heard that the surprise kiss she gave him was improvised. That was classic!

she reminds me of the oracle.

The kiss was improvised and not in the script--Cruise's reaction is genuine.

My only issue with this scene (it is a good scene too, very moody and great dialouge) is that we know Lamar is a shrewd, ruthless man that will tie up any loose end to keep Precrime running. Hell, he framed his protégé just cause he found out about Anne Liveley. Yet, he let Hinneman live even though she knows about something as damning as a "minority report".

That kiss tho...

I always loved this movie because I have the same name as one of the precogs. Dashiell and even pronounced the same.

The pregogs are never wrong

"actually i think you have to run out"😂
