Yea, u liked her character too. She was willing to put her own skin in the game by giving the fugitive the information he needed to change his future. She definitely put herself in risk by helping him but she had her own disagreements with the precog system and she wanted to bring it down. Great character!
I love how Minority Report isn’t just another sci fi action movie but more of a whodunit neo noir tale. Loved this movie since I was a kid, mainstream movies aren’t what it used to be.

Of course, it really is a retelling of the "Oracles of Delphi", only modernized 😂 Edit: also, modern research into NDEs & brain damage/psychotropics relating to a "trade off"....much like sevantism (an extreme example) or autism in general, ie, being very high "IQ" , but very low "EQ"....or athletes cliche being bad at science, or scientists being weak nerds....etc, so on alchemical so forth.
"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.
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.
That's the genius of the scene. Iris is trolling Anderton while at the same time unveiling the truth. It is as if her maternal and humane instincts, in both healing Anderton physically and providing what can be called motherly advice, are conflicting with a kind of pleasure in seeing Anderton realise that everything he's dedicated himself to for the purposes of a positive intent are not as infallible or watertight as he thought they were. He threw himself into Pre-Crime as a means of countering his grief over the loss of his son - but in his commitment to mechanics he gradually forgot the humane. Even Burgess was concerned about just how seriously Anderton took everything - and that was before Anderton got his first hint about the truth behind Anne Lively.
"Best scene in the movie" anybody? Lois Smith is such a sass playing a know-it-all character, and she also nails Philip K. Dick's dialogue right down the page.
Pete Trbovich is it really Philip K. Dick’s dialogue, though? I don’t remember the story itself being much like the movie. Could this just be Scott Frank’s dialogue?
I actually think it's the worst scene in terms of the plot. This woman knows about the minority reports and that the system is flawed, yet the director has no interest in silencing her? Why would he waste time on Tom Cruise's character when the only reason he knows about the flaws is because he talked to this woman? The pre-crime director could have literally gotten away with absolutely everything if he had just killed this woman using the echo/fake double murder technique. Also, she's a frail, old retired senior citizen living in the middle of nowhere by herself, he could get rid of her waaayyy easier than Tom, the active chief of police that is beloved by everyone.
@@ddespair She's a scientist and an intelligent woman. I'm sure that she had a contingency plan specifically in place for Lamar. It's hinted that she knew exactly what kind of man he was. She's not as feeble or as helpless as she seems. She knew who Anderton was, and was more than prepared for hm.
Sometimes I wonder if Lois Smith kissing Tom Cruise was an improvised 06:08 Look at Cruise’s reaction. I feel he is almost breaking character for a moment and Lois Smith took the chance to kiss Tom Cruise and the take was *so good* Spielberg kept it.
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.
Love her delivery of the truth. In a lesser movie, the character would have an accent, and her monolog would be emotionally overwrought. This way, there's nothing between her story and the truth, in which our fate is buggered.
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.
It sure was nice of her to save his life lol. I love how she laughs at him when he says that she invented precrime. I love how she makes the precogs vision’s seem iron clad and then she just casual mentions that sometimes they disagree while walking away with a wicked smile on her face lol. I find it interesting that she seems to want precrime to be brought down. Etc. Burgess knew the whole time. Also that she has no doubt that the precogs are never wrong. Lol when she tells him to “hold that thought” & not to trust anybody. I love the way he tells her she’s crazy lol then she’s like you know the dark places lol. I love her interjecting with “IF you have one” lol 😂 Savage. But true. Just like the ending where she gets her hand cut purposefully just to make her point. Like damn. I don’t understand what the kiss was for? That is going to forever bother me. Lol. I love how at the end she answer’s his question with “the female” in a tone etc that makes it sound as if that should be obvious in her opinion, like duh. Lol.
The "if you have one" struck me as odd, too. I naturally assumed he had one. Why else would there be such an elaborate & compelling path to look for it?
The kiss is intended to throw him off. Her ultimate point is that attempting to predict and control organic systems is human folly, and she’s giving him one more reminder in the moment. She’s calling him out, along with all of the men who used her work at the expense of those children, for their belief that we can be gods.
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
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.
The bit of foreshadowing I missed the first time is at 5:14. "...not even the old man who just wants to hang on to what he created." The most important bit of dialogue in the whole movie, and I missed it because I was distracted by other things.
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".
In the novel, whole Precrime "family" would go long way to protect it. They almost seemed like a cult. She was probably commited just as same in her time but now she gave this information to Anderton because a) she either doesn't care so much anymore B) she is both plot device for the movie and for his future. He on the other hand is young and passioned about the truth and that is a liability. Also it's very hard to touch anyone in this future because the murder is very difficult, especially framing murder. If someone would squeeze her they would bleed just as she showed.
"Let" her live? Why do you think she lives in seclusion, without allowing visitors? Whom do you suppose she's keeping out so fiercely that she has venomous and carnivorous plants SHE MADE to enforce her isolation? She may not know Burgess is a criminal, but she's smart enough not to trust him. It's why she tells Anderton, "you shouldn't trust anyone." She didn't consider the minority reports damaging; they were "an insignificant variable" that allowed the precogs to "stop the guilty."
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.
Dr. Iris Hineman may or may not have known about Lamar Burgess killing Ann Lively, but what she did KNOW was that PreCrime was flawed. When Lamar told Dr. Iris, "You want to bring it down," she said, "YOU will bring it down..." This points to her knowing more than she's telling.
It's possible, but not terribly necessary that she knows. The scene works best when it concentrates on the flaw of tbe system, and that those who created are aware of it. It also works that Colin Farrell's character (sort of) solves that mystery. A character like that normally has a thankless role in a story, but MR makes him significant.
The three precogs are named after famous mystery authors. Art is for Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Agatha, of course, is named after Agatha Christie, the author who envisioned Hercule Poirot & Miss Marple. And Dashiell is named after Dashiell Hammett.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This is why Good Government is a necessity. In order to Mandate over the majority of philosophical belief. Our belief systems may end in tragedy too. BAK
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
In the future, the governing authorities would probably genetically engineer or artificially inseminate the next generation of selected people with the precog gene to continue & prolong the program indefinitely.
...always wondered about that. I got the idea that there were probably other precogs out there, but that it was the program that was restricted, not the precogs themselves, because the whole issue of prosecuting people for things they hadn't done yet.
I think it was necessary for her to do something that she wanted to do, because until then, her job in the story was being a font of exposition. The kiss is s sign that she's a character with motivations of her own.
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.

Because she old and ugly as fuck. Only a girl would be narcissistic enough to believe that, if a guy doesn't enjoy something sexual with a girl, he MUST be gay. 🙄
Lmao this scene seemed so out of place to me. She shouldnt know everything that she knows... For all of this to exist in truth... She would have to be supplying the illegal drug market. Weird for an old women in isolation with killer plants .
She built Precrime from the ground up, being an instrumental part of it. She probably did not care for using drug-affected children as guinea pigs from the start, but saw how monstrous it became once Lamar and others got a hold of it. I'm sure that she stepped away and kept a close eye on things, waiting for a time when someone---anyone---would blunder onto her path. That person would be instrumental in bringing down Precrime, since she wasn't directly involved anymore.
The scene that provides the single most pivotal bit of information for the movie - information so critical that it drives the plot for the remainder of the movie AND the movie derives its very title from it - was the most boring scene for you??
Are you kidding me?! This is one of the film’s highlights and an all time iconic scene. Very few directors can make a dialogue scene dynamic, Spielberg is certainly one of them. His camera movement, frame blocking and editing is down to perfection.

What about intentional-suicide, self-sacrifice, self-neglect, or delirium?
This woman is a badass. She cut herself just to articulate a point.
Or she’s just totally nuts, which seems suggested from her demeanor.
Yea, u liked her character too. She was willing to put her own skin in the game by giving the fugitive the information he needed to change his future. She definitely put herself in risk by helping him but she had her own disagreements with the precog system and she wanted to bring it down. Great character!

"But occasionally, they do disagree."

Which the shot then immediately frames Anderton’s face between two branches, implying the two paths that exist.
Once again, Spielberg’s peerless visual composition at its finest.
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.
Love this take on her character. So cool. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Her actress is still alive 😁
Indeed. But in the end, we realize she did what she could to make amends for what she helped to create.
She's a mainline quest giver.
Love the way, she taunts him even while she is helping him.
That's the genius of the scene. Iris is trolling Anderton while at the same time unveiling the truth. It is as if her maternal and humane instincts, in both healing Anderton physically and providing what can be called motherly advice, are conflicting with a kind of pleasure in seeing Anderton realise that everything he's dedicated himself to for the purposes of a positive intent are not as infallible or watertight as he thought they were. He threw himself into Pre-Crime as a means of countering his grief over the loss of his son - but in his commitment to mechanics he gradually forgot the humane. Even Burgess was concerned about just how seriously Anderton took everything - and that was before Anderton got his first hint about the truth behind Anne Lively.

That’s Lois Smith; she played Partia in Five Easy Pieces and Aunt Meg in Twister.
Some1 plz explain that random kiss by Iris bc it was incredibly weird
I love it!
Great movie. Still don’t understand why they don’t have WiFi, though; hell, WE had it when the movie came out.
This is why Good Government is a necessity. In order to Mandate over the majority of philosophical belief. Our belief systems may end in tragedy too. BAK
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
Plz share the link of whole movie plzzzz
So what happens when the precogs grow old and die? Program is over?
In the future, the governing authorities would probably genetically engineer or artificially inseminate the next generation of selected people with the precog gene to continue & prolong the program indefinitely.
ROFL, watched the movie like hundred times, never thought about that, and obviously neither did the glorious government
OK, still ROFL, how tom Cruise didn't think of that??
...always wondered about that. I got the idea that there were probably other precogs out there, but that it was the program that was restricted, not the precogs themselves, because the whole issue of prosecuting people for things they hadn't done yet.
Clone them.
She gets her line wrong at 4:12. It should be "unreasonable" not "reasonable" for it to make logical sense in the context.
Juries aquit based on a resonable doubt.
Nature always takes its course ,trying to play god never works out
Lois Smith hive, rise!
I’m confused by the kiss
Exactly, he might as well have just banged her at that point
I think it was necessary for her to do something that she wanted to do, because until then, her job in the story was being a font of exposition. The kiss is s sign that she's a character with motivations of her own.
Music in this scene sounds very much like Star Wars and Harry Potter.
Same composer.

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.

Why did she kiss him? So weird.. he looked weirded by it too gay Tom?
Because she old and ugly as fuck. Only a girl would be narcissistic enough to believe that, if a guy doesn't enjoy something sexual with a girl, he MUST be gay. 🙄
@@Alvin_Vivian ok but tom cruise is actually gay tho
@@thegirlinquestion did you cought tom with your dad?
@@thegirlinquestion I dont think so. Not that it actually matters.
@@AS-ri1mb read up ben fellows’ testimony
Lmao this scene seemed so out of place to me. She shouldnt know everything that she knows...
For all of this to exist in truth... She would have to be supplying the illegal drug market. Weird for an old women in isolation with killer plants .
How?
What? It is perfect. They stole her good idea, made it into a monstrous government control program and she excused herself and recluded.
She built Precrime from the ground up, being an instrumental part of it. She probably did not care for using drug-affected children as guinea pigs from the start, but saw how monstrous it became once Lamar and others got a hold of it. I'm sure that she stepped away and kept a close eye on things, waiting for a time when someone---anyone---would blunder onto her path. That person would be instrumental in bringing down Precrime, since she wasn't directly involved anymore.
Young women age.
Just my opinion.....but the most boring part of the movie
Opinions can't be wrong. Except for yours.
The scene that provides the single most pivotal bit of information for the movie - information so critical that it drives the plot for the remainder of the movie AND the movie derives its very title from it - was the most boring scene for you??
Are you kidding me?! This is one of the film’s highlights and an all time iconic scene. Very few directors can make a dialogue scene dynamic, Spielberg is certainly one of them. His camera movement, frame blocking and editing is down to perfection.
Seriously?
