Review film Gattaca - Technology Gen (1997): The epic version of the human race
The film Gattaca - Genetic Technology was made in 1997 by director Andrew Niccol with the participation of stars Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman and Jude Law, an epic poem of man who surpasses himself and wins the prejudice. society.
The science-fiction film Gattaca is made up of 4 abbreviations (A, T, G, C) of the 4 types of nucleobases that make up DNA - the genetic material that society in the film uses to measure. values people, defines what they can and cannot do.
In the future, babies are born through embryo selection to have the desired genotype. Vincent Freeman, a person born naturally, conceived as a "defect" and a "short".
Vincent's parents have more expectations and favors for his younger brother Anton, the baby born new method. Society sees people like him as third-class citizens, only suitable for inferior jobs. As long as Vincent Freeman, he could not pursue his dream of conquering the universe.
So he decided to give up his old identity and buy the identity of Jerome Morrow, a man with a perfect genome but paraplegic after an accident. Thanks to his new identity and the trick to trick DNA tests, Vincent officially became an elite employee of the Gattaca space agency and was listed on Saturn.
But just before his departure, a murder in Gattaca brought police in, threatening to uncover all of Vincent Freeman's long-standing secrets.

This is not a film about a wise person and a lot of cunning, despite all to achieve the goal (if so we have Nightcrawler, not Gattaca). This is the story of a person who believes in himself and is committed to pursuing his dream, even though everyone thinks that he cannot and tries to persuade him to believe in them. Through perseverance, Vincent convinced Anton, Jerome, and fellow Irene, to make them recognize his worth.
All three of Anton, Jerome and Irene are the result of genetic selection technology and a victim of social prejudice. They were lulled into thinking that their destiny was already set in their DNA sequence, only to be disillusioned when they found that life was not as arranged as they thought. Born with an assessment of a high risk of heart disease, Irene was refused to be assigned to more important tasks.
She implicitly envied Vincent in the identity of Jerome - who has the perfect genome. Anton always troubled over a childhood event: Vincent - his inferior brother - won him in a swim competition, even saving his life. Jerome - who enjoyed great privilege from birth, who possessed infinite potential - suffered a deep mental breakdown when he came second in a swimming competition.
The segment of Vincent facing Anton and Jerome is the best scenes of the movie, I will not spoil before.
Although still flawed, the Gattaca film deserves to be honored as a classic film in general and science fiction film in particular. Unfortunately, director Andrew Niccol did not have any sci-fi movies (The Host, In Time) to reach the height of Gattaca.
