The movie is not procrastinating at all, it interprets a science fiction story without being too divorced from reality, and at the same time unfolding imagination. Dreams, trust, and love are entangled in a multitude of things, and finally they become moving.
I have to say that this movie made in 1997 still seems to touch people's hearts. There are a lot of science fiction plots, and the light of human nature is dotted in the real world. From the perspective of science fiction, the background of the plot is not far in the future. At that time, humans have mastered advanced genetic technology. Unfortunately, human genes have become the standard for determining whether they can do anything in their lives. Therefore, people are Divided into three, six, nine, etc., the protagonist lives in a society where genetic testing is everywhere to determine personal identity and even personal abilities. Gattaca is such a company that gathers excellent genetic talents and is committed to the resident program in outer space and other planets. The name of the film also comes from this. This kind of setting is the basis for the development of the story. The future world set by the genius screenwriter satisfies our huge fantasy space, and at the same time is reasonable. Humans have indeed made a lot of achievements in the field of genes, and there is great hope that they can predict diseases through personal innate genes, and the level of human aviation has also developed rapidly. The moon landing was 50 years ago, and landing on other planets is not a spectacle. It is imperative. This kind of background structure can be described as a genius.
Therefore, under such a setting, the director brought out the faces of the people concerned with a murder investigation. The plot is tense, but not terrifying, because this is actually an inspirational and touching story.
The story revolves around the male protagonist Vincent played by Ethan Hawke, and has developed three main emotional lines. The first is the competition and competition between Vincent and his brother Anton, who has an improved and excellent gene. The second is that Vincent has developed a slight genetic defect in the lover. The love network of female colleague Irene, the third is the dream pursuit of Vincent and her identity exchange, a swimmer with perfect genes but a disability due to a car accident. The three main lines are parallel and orderly, but they are intertwined and run through, making the story vivid and true.
The first main line has a lot of ink in the opening of the film. Vincent has been better than his brother Anton in all aspects. He has been sad since he was a child. Vincent has huge dreams, but he sees that he can’t get in touch with his dreams due to genetic defects. My younger brother always fails in swimming competitions. However, Vincent never gave up, and finally ended in victory in the last competition with his younger brother, giving him new hope for the future and leaving his old life ever since. At the end of the film, it was revealed that the detective’s identity was Anton. This dramatic coincidence intensified the brothers’ years of conflict and competition. Many years later, Vincent faced his brother Anton as a successful winner who should have failed. , But won again in the swimming competition. This idealized arrangement, integrated in the science fiction world where people are judged by genes, has great practical significance. Maybe you are behind at the beginning of the race, maybe you are neither a good stock nor a potential stock but a small forgotten character, maybe you are mediocre and inferior to others, but you have huge dreams in mind, maybe you just lack so much. A little bit of recognition, so a little bit less opportunity. The protagonist in the film obtained such a small opportunity by "cheating", but finally proved himself to all those who were not optimistic about him. Although the film tells in detail the process of the protagonist’s concealing the sky and the sea, the enlightenment to us is not here. Vincent’s true success is not actually his embezzled genes, but a little bit of his own efforts and his “never think about the future”. Hard work, which was revealed in the swimming competition after he and his younger brother Anton discovered their true identity, has an educational significance of "man will conquer the sky".
The second main line is mostly in the middle of the film and develops to a climax in the second half. Irene fell in love with Vincent only because of the personal charm and qualities that Vincent showed her, not because of Vincent's genes. In the film, Irene himself is full of anxiety about the future due to a heart defect. Although their love is based on Vincent's lie about concealing his true identity, Irene's feelings for Vincent are real. She saw Vincent's dream, and because of love, she helped Vincent to hide from the sky, even if the lie was exposed, she still loved Vincent, and willingly waited for a year. This kind of emotional support is sublimated in the similar episodes of the two. What blows away in the wind is not only their genetic identity, but also their doubts about love.
The third thread runs through, Vincent and Jerome, the provider of his perfect genes, are the initiators of this huge lie. Both were mutilated, Jerome's mutilated body, Vincent's mutilated gene. It is the cooperation between the two people that a great dream can become a reality. Because his genes are too perfect, Jerome has always been burdened with the burden that his performance must be as perfect as his genes. For a long time, he has been unable to win the gold medal. The psychological gap made him feel discouraged, and finally chose to abandon himself and walk towards the driving car. And Vincent, it is his opposite. No one has expectations of Vincent. His dreams have been trapped in his imperfect genes. The setting of the plot brought the two men together, and they encouraged each other in a way that the two men believed in and supported each other. The image film of Jerome has very little ink, but it is very exciting. Jerome dragged his mutilated body to the second floor for Vincent. This kind of spiritual transcendence was considered impossible just like Vincent's defeat of his younger brother, and they all succeeded in the end. In the end, Jerome climbed into the incinerator and flashed golden light in the fire with his silver medal. Jerome realized that he had fulfilled Vincent and was also his own dream, and this kind of success was of greater significance. And his mutilated limbs were just the body that imprisoned him. He no longer needed a greater proof, so he resolutely faced death.
In addition to these three main lines, there are actually some small details that are also very moving. When Vincent went through hardships and finally succeeded, doubts arose in his heart and he wanted to give up his dreams. At this time, the doctor who tested him gave him courage again and let Vincent go. The doctor's son also has a genetic defect, and his son also has the same dream as Vincent, hoping to fly into space. This plot seems to be dispensable but actually very important. Vincent is no longer fulfilling his own dream at this time, nor is it just the dream of a doctor and his son. This is the dream of all people with defective genes but ambitious. This is all The dream of a hopeful person who is not recognized by the fortunes. The doctor's concealment is a sublimation of the film and the finishing touch of the film. And when the rocket lifted off, Vincent said: "Some people say that every atom in our body comes from a star. Maybe, I'm not leaving. Maybe, I'm going home." This passage tells us even more. Everyone has the light of stars, and we can all shine. My
favorite is these few scenarios:
Anton asked Vincent in the sea, how did you do it, Vincent replied, that's because, every time I swim forward, I don't have the strength to swim back for myself.
If we can all regard our every opportunity as a one way ticket.
Vincent sent it to Irene, saying, this is my genes, if you are still interested. Irene let go, her hair floating in the air, she said, sorry, the wind blew away.
If our love does not count fame and fortune, it is pure and clean.
Jerome prepared a big gift for Vincent and said, I also have to travel. At the end of the film he climbed into the incinerator and put on the silver medal.
If we truly understand the meaning of life and death.
The classic film tells a sci-fi story quietly, but it is more realistic than ordinary stories. More than an hour of the movie, intense and exciting, no hardship, no unnaturalness, no exaggerated performance, also tells us that there is no impossible.
