      Tell you a truth with all your fantasies

      In the first half, the monologue of the protagonist's teenage monologue has always been my favorite means of expression in movies.
      Rational , wise, and eloquent.
      In the middle, everyone's favorite ugly duckling turned into a swan was used to let the protagonist enter the airline . In
      the second half, the premise was finally turned into a series of inspirational words, and the audience was inspired at once:

      "They want you to work hard to find defects, so that in the end...

      Quotations

      Look at the works of God: Who can make straight whom God has made crooked?

      To be clean is to be near holy.

      Children born out of love are more likely to grow up happily.

      It is different now, the baby has just been born, and the cause and time of future death can already be determined.

      Your only chance to see inside a spaceship is to be a cleaner.

      Cells are my real resume.

      Genes have nothing to do with fate.

      I don't want to go...

      every atom in our bodies was once part of a star

      According to the Big Bang theory, the universe was in a state of infinitely high density and temperature a finite time in the past, a state known as a singularity. Then, in a very short time, this singularity was extremely inflated, forming the universe, including the elementary particles in it. These elementary particles make up my body, my life. So my body used to be particles on every planet. Then the universe continued to expand and evolved into the sun and the earth. Earth provided the...

      nice.

      This is a good movie, worth watching. The script is very creative, the only downside is that there are a lot of loopholes. At first I thought it was a sci-fi movie, but after watching it, I found that the essence of the movie is an inspirational movie in the coat of a sci-fi movie. For the first time, the film reflects the negative effects of genetic discrimination, which is widely worried about the development of genetic technology to the extreme, into the film. , ingenious inspirational...

      The world is too simple for those beautiful humans

      The world is too simple for those beautiful humans, and it takes a huge amount of effort for us not to be hated.

      I went to see Gattaca after watching the Daily Show last week and ended up crying. Because only humans with ordinary intelligence and ugly looks can understand such a world. For those beautiful humans, it's all too simple.

      So when you wash up and go to work, we have to spend half an hour cleaning our bodies and faces at home, so as not to go out and make others...

      "I never save my stamina for swimming back" - the prodigal doesn't look back, just swims forward. Under the curtain of the black future, poetically repeating the old tunes of small people and great inspiration. The sci-fi setting that hard genes define human rights has become a cliché, but every time I look back, I still enjoy it, just because some old feelings have disappeared in the new generation of indiscriminately bombarded...

      Americans seem to like to make such "hard work will succeed" films to cover up the reality that the bottom people lack a way to ascend. By the way, does he swim better than his younger brother because he was conceived naturally so he is the fastest...

      The future described in this film can be identified by several Earths with a Hawking! It's just that this doesn't seem to be talking about the future. All discrimination is included here. Whether we are discriminators or discriminated people, we follow the rules of what should and shouldn't. Therefore, it is natural for the discriminators to discriminate against the discriminated. Those who are discriminated against are more embodied as the one or two points that they are discriminated against....

    Creation Background

    According to the tradition of science fiction films, Andrew Nicoll conceived a future world, this world is extraordinary and wonderful, but it also has a cruel core, that is, genetic identification. It uses genes to control your life. Nicole once said that he doesn't like people seeing this movie as a preaching that genes cannot be tampered with, because genetic technology has and will play an active role in the field of disease...

    Positive review

    The film successfully sketched the reality of the future, and presented a melancholy future world before the audience. The film has a strong predictability. When the audience turns their eyes from the film back to reality, it is not difficult to find that the development of technology is driving the real world to the technological but dehumanizing future. Geneticism-avoiding this kind of thought to rule the world is an important issue...
