I am glad to report that this article nomination for good article status has been promoted. This is how the article, as of December 18, 2010, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Written in clear language, with good flow and article structure.
2. Factually accurate?: Duly cited throughout to appropriate sources.
3. Broad in coverage?: Yes, covers many aspects.
4. Neutral point of view?: Article indeed appears written with a neutral tone.
5. Article stability? Talk page history and dialogue seems fine.
6. Images?: Only one image used - fair use rationale on image page.

If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to Good article reassessment. Thank you to AaronY, who worked hard to bring it to this status, and congratulations. Wildroot (talk) 07:41, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Literally zero mentions of Religion in this article? (besides the mere category at the bottom)

[edit]

Seriously? How is there no one to quote about this in the article? Maybe I'll have to search on Google...

I'm also disappointed there's nothing about the theme of "seeing". "Can you see?" is repeated over and over again (along with variations), the glasses at the start, the man with the missing eyes, John's new eyes, and obviously seeing the future. Also, the problem of interpreting what is seen: they interpret the murder vision as an "echo", because that is what it looks like, the trust placed on the spider bots measurement method also fools the cops and allows John to evade detection, because they interpret the scan info as reality, and there's something similar to René Magritte's painting The Son of Man, when the balloons block the view so that the police don't see John and the precog.

I just re-watched this film after never seeing it for years and years, so it's not like I've put more work into reading the themes of this film than other people. Maybe I'm just more sensitive to these themes than other people? Well I guess I've seen that theme of "seeing" more obvious elsewhere, such as the film Exam, A Scanner Darkly, some people's philosophy writings (usually pomo). So maybe I just recognize it more easily.

But, ya, this movie and the movie A.I. have some religion themes! Very obvious I would think! BrianPansky (talk) 19:10, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
