This shot from the movie
Minority Report is able to capture one of the major themes of the movie. The idea that one can chose their own destiny. Here, the subjects of the shot are in the middle. On either side of them is a doorway. The only thing separating the two paths is a circular booth. If John chooses to go left around the bench he may still end up going right and vice versa. This represents one of the views of destiny, that no matter what free will one seems to exercise, they will end up where they are fated to go and do what they were fated to do.
The conflicting argument, as made by Agatha in the movie, is that everyone can choose their own fate. At this point in the movie, though, John -- who is towering above her and even blocking the clerk from view -- is clearly in control. Agatha is not only slender and pale, but she can't stand and walk without the help of John or sit without leaning. In this shot, she is blending into the shadow created by the desk and is utterly helpless. There is pain on her face because she knows that she has a chance to save John from killing. Spielberg employs a full shot here to highlight the balance of power between her and John at this point.
An interesting thing about the setting is how empty it is. This was done with purpose. The lack of physical barriers forcing John to continue in his search for Leo Crowe highlights how barriers in his own head are forcing him to continue. Just as Oedipus could have discontinued his search for the truth, John can call it quits here too and avoid ever coming into contact with the man he is supposed to kill.
