  • Welcome to Movie Shortens. Vincent Freeman (Ethan Hawke) has always dreamed to travel to space. However, in this futuristic world, his status as a genetically inferior "in-valid" keeps him grounded. He decides to fight his fate by purchasing the genes of a "valid" athlete Jerome Morrow (Jude Law). He adopts Jerome's DNA and joins the Gattaca space program. Here he meets and falls in love with Irene (Uma Thurman), also a valid crew member. Vincent's plans are complicated by an investigation into the death of a Gattaca officer. What would be his fate after all?

    Brilliant movie, watched it many times because it has so many details in dialogs, in the background scenes and even in the lighting that you don't see the first time, but when you do later...incredible, the depth.

    You know I've watched this many times. I've always had a bit of trouble understanding Anton. I guess he really buys into what society tells him. He truly believed that Vincent was inferior so if he succeeds his world collapses. He is proven wrong when Vincent beats him swimming. So he lets it go I guess.

      I think there's also a levle of protectiveness, that he thinks his brother is killing himself over this. He finally understands Vincint can atually succeed when he's beaten.
      Moreover there's something of "I have to be the best" in all the valids, they were born to be perfect anything less than that is falier.
      Who are they if not the best of the best? It's everything they have.
      This is more apparent in Jerome but it shoes up in Anton too. And Irene, and it's hinted at in the piano player I think

    I truly loved this movie, I saw this movie when I was younger. It’s why I am about to graduate from university with bachelors degree in computer science. All my life because of moving, I was put in slow classes, told I was never amount to much. Spent more my 20’s just going through the motions. While having siblings who are nurses and doctors and chemist. God never gave up on me, and in the water scene mad me tear up. Because no one has the right to determine the limitations of another human being. As he told his brother he worked hard to get where he is. When I walk off that stage in May, I got there because I didn’t give up on myself. That’s the lesson I took from this movie!

    This is one of my favorite movies. I saw it when it came out when I was a kid. It seemed impossible to me at the time. My friend's older brother told me they could already do some of it and my mind was blown. Lol I could see a world where we are less aware and this could happen.

    • @yongxia
      @yongxia Před 2 lety +6

      real Jerome ends his own life after Vincent leaves for Titan. The ship doesn't blow up, it's just the cinematography of the fire killing Jerome mirroring the fire of the ship taking Vincent to space.
      Or you know, just watch the movie, it;s a really good movie

    Ok so I LOVE this movie, like I love it, but I don't often see people discuss the way this movie has a difference between perceived disabilities and *atuall* disabilities, not to mention the toxic "persist till you die" mentality presented in the movie.
    How Vincent always pushes and pushed beyond what's safe and healthy and how that could be deadly or tragic if not properly discussed.
    That being said I LOVE this movie, I love it.
