Example Of Determinism In Movies

When we take a look at the basic idea of the given movie, which describes a situation where crime can be predetermined, and therefore stopped, we can easily notice that it has some correlation with deterministic point of view. Determinism is the philosophical doctrine in which person perceive the life, and the world around him as predetermined. Everything what happens is already well planned, each move, every decision, every step, which would mean that we don't have our own free will. Even though we are making certain decisions throughout our lives, according to this theory, it has nothing to do with our own decisions in the end. One of the interesting scenes at the beginning of the movie was when the drug dealer inside the dark alley appears
without both eyes and says “my daddy always said in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.” This sentence can be understood by few different perspectives, for example he can refer to the society where people with certain influence, or technology can be ahead of the people who don't have those advantages, so therefore don't have power. There is one ambiguous fact when we compare the movie and determinism as philosophical doctrine. As I already mention determinism stand for life in which everything is fully preordained, so it means everything will happen as it should be, no matter what. In the other hand in the movie "Minority Report" we can see that "destiny" can be changed through human manipulation, until something goes wrong, as usual. Of course, there is a difference, but it certainly leaves room for thought.
