No Sun No Moon, November

I went to see Minority Report last night as I am away from home and the Cinema is just across from the Hotel. A very good film and if you take accept the scientific premise, then it is just a very complex whodunnit. The idea that you actually had a choice at the point you are about to kill someone is very interesting. Even the fact that there is the ability to detect murder before it is committed is a complex issue. In the film, they only really saw un-pre-meditated murder since anyone thinking long term about killing someone would be aware that they were bound to be detected before the murder actually occurred. I thought it was a bit like driving the automatic car I had to get here rather than the manual I normally drive. You gradually realise that you have no clutch and should never try to depress it or you will hit the brake (Like I did first thing yesterday - thankfully with no impact). Even if you decide to murder someone in the next few seconds, you would have a deep awareness of the fact that you would be detected as long as the pre-cognition came in long enough before the act. All of this blurred over whether it was the potential for the act being apparent in the brain of the perpetrator even if they had no pre-meditation or whether the actual fact of the murder happening at all was what triggered the detection. Of course I liked all this and the basic plot of the rest of the film because it was all self-referential; a murder triggered by the fact that a murder was detected before it occurred. It was a sort of fatal free lunch (if you can use a positive term to analogise a negative act). I can't say anymore because my wife wants to see the film and as she is the only person to read these entries it would spoil it for her.

Any idea on the title for this entry? JJ Jeczalik may be able to help you.
