Or donc:
J'ai pas le temps de traduire....
* When Anderton undergoes his eye replacement procedure, his eyes are held open by clamps, reminiscent of the treatment sequences in Clockwork Orange, A (1971).
* Burgess, (Max von Sydow) is named after author Anthony Burgess, who also wrote about crime control in the future in "A Clockwork Orange."
* Directly after the opening montage of the husband murdering his wife, it cuts directly to a close-up shot of the "pre-cog" Agatha's eye. The exact same shot is used at the end of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) after the light show.
* When Anderton jumps off the car and through the window, he lands into a yoga classroom. The head of the class is dressed exactly like the rich old woman Alex kills in "A Clockwork Orange". Like Alex, Anderton is characterized by his drug abuse and love of classical music.
* When John Anderton and Agatha are running out of the shopping mall, they pass by a homeless man laying in front of the door who asks for change. The vagrant in the tunnel scene in "A Clockwork Orange," where Alex and his droogs beat him is reminiscent of this.
* Agatha yelling "murder!" a reference to "redrum!" from Shining, The (1980).
* references to Blade Runner (1982), also based on a written work by author Philip K. Dick.
* Both films begin with an extreme close-up shot of an open eye, and repeat the eye motif throughout.
* Rutger Hauer's character (in Blade Runner) visits the genetic engineer who created his artificial eyes, Tom Cruise's character visits the surgeon who replaces his eyes.
* Both films feature detectives making a key discovery by spotting a woman reflected in the mirror in the background of a crime-scene image that they are looking at.
* Several times, bright shafts of light pour in through the windows behind the characters as they talk; this effect was used extensively in the earlier film.
* After Cruise's encounter with Crowe, he drives with Agatha through a gorgeous green scenery, and tells her they're going "Someplace safe", a scene which parallels the ending scene of Blade Runner (the original, not the Director's Cut version)
* The scene on the D.C. metro in which Anderton is recognized from a newspaper is a homage to Fugitive, The (1993) in which Dr. Kimble is recognized in the same way.
* In the last shot of the film, we pull out from the house and see the fireplace in the background. The flames in the fireplace form the letters AI, probably a reference to Speilberg's previous film, Artificial Intelligence: AI (2001)
(celle-la, je l'avais pas vue).
* The film projected on the wall of Dr. Solomon's apartment that shows a man being shot in a Japanese hot-tub is Samuel Fuller's House of Bamboo (1955).
(non plus).
* The husband at the beginning was going to murder his wife and her love with a pair scissors. This was also the murder weapon of choice in Dead Again (1991).
* The opening sequence is a homage to Hitchcock. The scissors: Dial M for Murder (1954), the eye glasses: Strangers on a Train (1951), and the prolonged shot of the eye: Pyscho (1960).
(non plus)
* A Swedish classic folksong is sung by Greta van Eyck (Caroline Lagerfelt) when John Anderton (Tom Cruise) visit Dr. Solomon.
(toujours pas)
* During the scenes that show Anderton manipulating the PreCogs' visions of future crimes, the music in the background is Schubert's Symphony #8 in B Minor -- more commonly known as the "Unfinished" symphony.
(cf Pogo's post)
* The tiny, in-the-ear cell phones used throughout the movie (but most noticeably by Max von Sydow (Director Lamar Burgess ) in the film's final scenes, are actually Bang & Olufsen earphones minus the connection cables.
(savais pas)
* The opening part of the sound track by John Williams echoes that of Vangelis' score in Blade Runner (1982), with the booming noises and a black screen, before the opening scene fades in.
* References to Judge Dredd (1995) The lead character is head of a somewhat new crime-fighting unit and is later framed and chased by it. The lead character has no real interest with the outside world, just interest in enforcing the law. The lead character's mentor is played by Max von Sydow.
* In five out of the last seven movies to date, Tom Cruise's character has appeared with either a mask or his face otherwise distorted. The other titles are Mission: Impossible (1996) , Eyes Wide Shut (1999), Mission: Impossible II (2000) and Vanilla Sky (2001) |
