Gattaca is a rare jewel of a film. Distinct and passionate. Personal and lasting. Deep and cutting.
The basic premise of the film is that "There is no gene for fate". People have been engineered to be perfect and yet they seem to be those with the most problems.
Human determination can overcome fate. "Vincent" is born as a 'faith-birth' meaning that his mother and father conceived him naturally. Due to this fact, he stands no chance of being as likely to thrive, let alone survive, as those programmed by their "local geneticist".
The triumph and effort portrayed in the film are done to delicately to be well described by me. This is a classic swept under the rug. Visually stunning. Deeply moving. Shamefully ignored. Enjoy.
