go home

Huge and cold volume, huge and uniform quantity, strong Bauhaus style in cold tones, under the interlocking and compact plot, the director throws us a series of quite advanced and profound propositions: the future, technology, genetic engineering, society Hierarchy, fatalism. . Thought-provoking, saddening.

Vincent's sonorous declaration of "I never saved anything for the swim back" in the face of fate is admirable and touching, but at the end, the doctor talked about his son with birth defects as usual until the truth came out, and he was never willing to be submissive to others. The Geron Morrow wore a silver medal and chose the Hemingway-style phoenix nirvana. Vincent was on the road to the dream. When he was about to touch the dream, he looked back and realized that the dream had already been carried. The hope of more people:

I just borrowed your identity, and you let me share your dream.
(I got the better end of the deal. I only lent you my body. You lent me your dream.)
And the power of this dream is even more moving.

I have seen too many inspirational passages related to spaceflight, because breaking through gravity and flying to the starry sky always means a breakthrough that breaks through the constraints, but Gattaca unexpectedly gave a new interpretation of the dream:

I must admit that at this time I Kind of reluctant to leave. (I must confess I'm suddenly having a hard time leaving it.) Of course it is said that every atom in our body was once part of the starry sky. (Of course they say every atom in our bodies was once part of a star.) Maybe I'm not leaving, I'm just on my way home. (Maybe I'm not leaving, maybe I'm going home.)
The camera turns from the deep eyes under the protagonist's inner narration to the vast stars, slowly fades out, and ends.

    Although the low-status young man has real talents and learning, in order to enter the monopoly industry and only see his body to become a civil servant, he had to use a fake diploma to cover his eyes and rush towards his dream. Do not ask the origin of the hero, prejudice kills people.

    Back then, this subject didn't seem to be bad. An old film that I watched many times on TV was amazing. All the sadness and despair at the end of the film touched my soul. It seems that I am a pessimist.

Gattaca quotes

  • Vincent: I was never more certain of how far away I was from my goal than when I was standing right beside it.

  • Vincent: They used to say that a child conceived in love has a greater chance of happiness. They don't say that anymore.
