The main point of the film is that in the near future, people born through genetic engineering are normal people (valid), and without this procedure, children born naturally are regarded as "in-valid" (in-valid). . In this future world, everyone's fate is no longer full of unknowns. When a life is just born, his/her life path is basically determined, unless some unexpected non-genetic factors appear. From a genetic point of view, Vincent is an "unfortunate" naturally born person. He was announced at birth with a certain genetic defect. When he grows up, he will be short-sighted and have heart disease. What is even more terrifying is that he has only 30 years to live according to genetic inference. Vincent's parents wanted a good son very much, so they gave him a brother by genetic optimization. Although Vincent worked hard in the process of growing up, he was still unfairly discriminated against by genetics.
Vincent is obsessed with space. In order to realize his dream of flying to the sky, he ran away from home and went through all the ups and downs in the world, and finally found a job as a cleaner in the space center. Even he doesn't know if this means that he has shortened the distance from his dream. At this time, he met Jerome, who had excellent genes but was paralyzed from the lower body due to an accident. Jerome agrees to swap identities with him to help him fulfill his dream of going into space. After a series of careful preparations, Vincent finally became the first-class navigator of the space center as Jerome. Soon he was informed that in a week's time he would be on his way to Titan. As Vincent's backstage supporter, Jerome's job is to prepare daily supplies for him to deal with the strict genetic verification of the space center, such as urine samples, blood samples, and even hair and dander. And Vincent has to perform tedious and meticulous body cleaning every day before entering the space center, so as not to leave his hair and dander in the space center. These inconspicuous things will reveal his true identity.
Just as everything is going according to plan, a key man in the space center is murdered. The detective quickly suspected him based on an eyelash that contained inferior genes. This morning, Vincent was about to enter the office, but he didn't want to get a shocking bad news from his girlfriend Erin: the detective was preparing to conduct a more in-depth genetic examination on him. Vincent quickly hid. The detective forces Erin to go to Vincent's house, and Vincent immediately informs Jerome at home. By the time the detectives arrived, Jerome had climbed from the basement to the upstairs parlour with astonishing perseverance. The detective took Jerome's venous blood to check for genes, and the results puzzled him: the man in front of him did have excellent genes. Meanwhile, the real culprit of the murder has been brought to justice. And Vincent also found his brother whom he had not seen for many years... Vincent finally realized his dream of flying into space. In the spaceship, he opened the envelope that Jerome gave him when he was parting. Inside was a lock of hair containing Jerome's excellent genes... At this time, Jerome also ended his own life...
The idea of the film is novel and the structure is tight. Although it is a science fiction film, after watching the entire film, people feel that the science and technology in the film can be achieved by human beings in the near future, and many of those technologies have been successfully tested. Unlike many other sci-fi films, after watching it, there is no sense of reality. It is still unknown whether the technology in the film can be realized. A relatively "real" future leads to future feelings that are likely to be equally real. This is the mentality one should have when facing the future, not a simple beautiful or ugly fantasy. The color tone of the film is also dominated by blue, which is serene and serene, as if it has created a scene of outer space for us. Also like the calm sea, all the undercurrents and battles are hidden under the sea.
A few special points
1. The director only used yellow, blue and green light lenses to shoot in the film, which shows the attitude of human beings to genetic science: remove the imperfect and keep the good. The set design of the film is very creative and futuristic.
2. The main building for the film is the Marin County Civic Center, designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. (For those who can't see the wiki entry, you can refer to the previous article to understand the technology of
overcoming the wall.) 3. Gattaca is actually a mixture of four DNA nucleotide abbreviations:
* adenine (adenine)
* cytosine (cytosine, oxygen ammonia) pyrimidine)
* guanine (guanine)
* thymine (thymine (thymine))
pgfish highlights
The subject matter of this story is not new. We have seen too many movies in which the protagonist challenges the discrimination of "race" and discrimination of "birth", while the protagonist of Gattca challenges the discrimination of "genes", so many people think it is science fiction Inspirational film on the subject. But the "dystopian" nature of this film is really shocking, such as Vincent's confession when he was looking for a job: No matter how much I whitewash my resume, it's useless, my resume is in my blood; An institution similar to a premarital examination center appeared in the film, where you can get all the genetic data of the lover by providing only one hair of the lover. Can future blind dates become so simple and precise? Also, when Vincent worries about being seen through, Jerome says they won't see through you, and when they see you, they see me - their insurmountable elite!
