There are always some gods undiscovered

几个特别之处:
1. 导演在片中只用黄、蓝、绿三色光镜头拍摄,显示了人类对基因科学的态度:剔除不完美的,留住美好的。影片的布景设计极有创意,颇具未来感。
2. 电影主要取景的建筑是马林县市民中心 ,由建筑大师弗兰克.劳埃德.赖特设计。(涉及维基条目看不到的可以参照前文领会翻墙技术。)
3. Gattaca事实上是四种DNA核苷酸的缩写的混合体

关于杰罗姆的银牌:
在文森特刚刚做完增高手术、还趴在床上的时候,杰罗姆给他看了自己瘫痪前参加游泳比赛得的一块银牌,说:“我已经努力了,可还是只得了一块银牌,你怎么可能成功呢?”《太空梦》译版里好像还有一句“我从来都不戴它”。杰罗姆大概是因为不服气只得第二才这样说。而当他坐进焚烧炉,打算结束生命时,却戴上了那块银牌。因为他知道,自己只配得银牌,得金牌的是文森特。

"裘德洛"最后为什么要自杀:
一、文森特借用了他的身份 他就用了文森特的梦想
他的优秀基因得到了承认 就心满意足了 残缺的身体活着也没什么意思
二、他们两个的存在 一个是事实上的杰罗姆 一个是理论上的杰罗姆
他用自己的死证明了文森特是真正优秀的杰罗姆(也就是裘德洛)无愧于杰罗姆的优秀基因,所以他留下了 够文森特用两辈子的样本 让文森特完成杰罗姆的人生
三、单纯是为了电影好看 一种表现手法火箭发射喷出的火焰和杰罗姆自杀时喷出的火焰一起 很有视觉冲击,一个生命结束 另一个生命的开始……

关于影片提及的“在不久的将来”,片子上映是1997年,拍也就是1996年,剧本可能形成的更早,其中几个关键的预测是这样的,
1、对于充电汽车的预测是无比准确的,包括充电桩在内,与今日特斯拉无异;
2、对于基因论定人的阶层,尚不明显,但是对于下一代繁殖,基因优化的预测是正确的;
3、对于太空每天有上百次的发射探索,截止目前也未能实现。


精彩对白:
Vincent做了增高手术后,躺在地上,忘着天花板,忍受着巨大的疼痛接骨。他告诉自己,当自己再次站起来的时候,就会离星空更近:
I took my mind of the pain by reminding myself that when I adventially did stand up,I 'd be exactly two inches closer to the stars.
当Vincent的弟弟Anton找到他,要在和他比一次游泳时,这次Vincent赢了。
当游到一半,Anton想要回头时,他问到 :
How are you doing this, Vincent?
How have you done any of this?
Vincent回答:
You want to know how I did it?
This is how I did it, Anton. I never saved anything for the swim back.
当Vincent就要去太空的时候,跟Jerome告别,并对他表示感谢,Jerome说:
I got the better end of the deal. I only lent you my body, you lent me your dream.
Finally, when Vincent took the last urine test before taking off, Dr. Lamar said to him:
I never tell you about my son, did I ? He's a big fan of yours.
He wants to apply here.
Unfortunately, my son's not all that they promised.
But then, who knows what he could do?
Right?
Finally, Vincent went to space and opened the hair Jerome gave him :
For someone who was never meant for this world, I must admit I am having a hard time leaving it. Although they say every atom in our bodies was once part of a star. Maybe I'm not leaving... maybe I' m going home

    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?
