Dystopia vs Utopia

An example of a dystopia film is Equilibrium, starring Christian Bale. In it he plays an enforcer priest who must stop and free- thinking or creativity which is forbidden. The creativity is squelched through drugs. Weird. No creativity but mind altering drugs are ok. Too illogical for me.

The other film is one of my favorites, Minority Report, with Tom Cruise, as another enforcer. This Utopian society is created from stopping crime before it begins through a sort of technology, which is stretching the process I know. People with the ability to see the future are tied into the machine and must spend the rest of their lives there. All hell breaks loose when Tom Cruise becomes part of the potential criminal.
