Humanity, it’s really human

"Gattaca", the English name "Gattaca", is the name of the space center in the film.

The story takes place in the not-too-distant future. Vincent was a child born under the love of nature in the age of genetic breeding. Due to over-advanced technology, he was determined that there is a 99% chance of dying before the age of 30. In order to avoid some kind of regret, through genetic optimization, his parents added a younger brother-the elite Anton.

Vincent has loved astronomy since he was a child and aspires to be an astronaut. However, in those days, this was completely impossible. In swimming competitions with his younger brother in the ocean, he often lost the general; until one time in high school, Vincent finally won and saved his younger brother who was almost drowning. After that day, in order to get close to the blue sky of his dreams, he quietly left home and entered Gattaca to work as a cleaner.

Achievements and efforts are of little importance in the face of genetic testing. Until one day, he met Jielong, a swimming Olympic silver medalist with perfect physique and superhuman IQ.

Vincent reached an exchange agreement with Jielong, who was crippled in the car accident. The former borrowed the latter’s elite status to realize the dream of traveling in the universe, and the latter provided the former with his own blood and urine samples, so that the former passed the genetic test smoothly. The person receives a lot of money to spend the rest of his life in peace.

Everything went very smoothly, and Vincent was about to take off in a week. Unexpectedly, an accident occurred at the Space Center and the leader was murdered. This person once tried his best to oppose the relevant lift-off plan, and what is worse is that Vincent accidentally dropped an eyelash when he was in the scene of the incident, and the investigation department has searched it.

Vincent, of course, was Vincent before plastic surgery, and was regarded as a suspected murderer, and the photos were circulated on public networks. Anton, who has become a police officer, discovered that Gattaca’s Jeron was actually his brother Vincent. They had another swimming competition and Vincent won again. The strength of the elder brother's personality made the younger brother stop the pace of exposing.

Vincent finally walked towards the launch site. At this time, he knew that Gattaca's doctor had already realized that Vincent was Jeron's replacement, but he had always chosen to remain silent.

On the spaceship, he opened the paper bag given by Jielong, which contained a strand of the latter's hair. He knew that Jielong was saying: "I am with you during the journey." At this time, on the earth, Jielong prepared the blood, urine, and dander that Vincent could use for many years, and climbed into the clean cabin that Vincent used in his daily life. The combustion button is turned on. The flame, enveloping Jeron, and the flame, lifts Vincent to the sky... The

end of the film is a long narration-"In just a few years, scientists will complete the human genetic engineering, that is, to map all human genes. Figure. We have developed to the point where we can control our own progress. If we can get these technologies early, the following people may never appear: Abraham Lincoln (Martens Syndrome), Emily Dickinson (Manic depression, famous American poet in the nineteenth century), Vincent Van Gogh (epilepsy), Albert Einstein (dyslexia), John F. Kennedy (Addison's disease), Rita · Hayworth (Alzmer's disease), Ray Charles (primary glaucoma), Stephen Hawking (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), Jackie Joyner Kersey (asthma), of course, another one may The person who won't be born may be yourself."

Or, soon, we will enter the age of dividing the good from the bad by genes. Want technology? Still want humanity? this is a problem. When a natural person becomes a sign of "shame", what is Hitler? This world of survival is already absurd itself.

Neither "The Thirteenth Floor" nor "At the End of Time", there is no dazzling effect, but from the perspective of the picture, it is still beautiful and reflects the reality of the story. The Vincent in "At the End of the Day" is a performance by Ethan Hawke, and the outstanding natural person who loves the past is Uma Thurman. Back then, they fell in love with this film, and then they stepped into the marriage palace. Now, Lao Yan's separation is embarrassing.

Ha ha. Time that should be used for work, I'm here to nag.

Human nature is really very human.

    Vincent: [voiceover] For someone who was never meant for this world, I must confess I'm suddenly having a hard time leaving it. Of course, they say every atom in our bodies was once part of a star. Maybe I'm not leaving... maybe I'm going home.

  • Vincent: Is the only way you can succeed is to see me fail?
