GATTACA

FACTS/QUESTIONS

Vincent left his family, tearing his picture out of the family photo, after winning the swimming race against his brother so there would be no evidence of him ever existing and he was now not apart of that family anymore.

The relationship between Vincent and Anton was I think Vincent was very jealous of Anton but Vincent did become stronger from Anton always being in the light because him being jealous motivated him to be better than Anton.  I think Anton was always thinking he was better than Vincent but once he found out how far Vincent made it he became jealous of Vincent.  They made each other stronger and I think a lot of their relationship was jealousy.

When Jerome Morrow said to Vincent/Jerome, “They’re not looking for you. When they look at you, they only see me,” he meant that he is not Vincent anymore all they see is Jerome and no one else.  Vincent no longer exists according to Jerome.  

My favorite character in the film was Jerome.  He was funny and I like what he did for Vincent.

I think the doctor went along with it the whole time because he realized how badly Vincent wanted to accomplish his dream.  If I were the doctor I think I would do the same thing because anybody that goes through all of that for their dream they must want it bad.

I think if I were Anton I would not have been as selfish as he was.  He acted very childish when he found out who Jerome really was.  He shouldn’t have wanted to turn Vincent in right away.

GATTACA resembled the type of society America was during the height of the eugenics movement because just like the Eugenics Era it was very demanding and judgmental.  If you were “unfit” you were not aloud to do as much as the other people who were said to be fit.

Overall the film was good I really got into it and I learned what our world can come to.  The way out technology is going right now I believe we can get to that point and in a way I hope we don't.  It's is good because you an find out a lot about your health and the person you may meet but it is too strict and harsh.  Grouping people by how they are and look is already bad imagine if our world came to that.
