Twenty years later, people will regret ignoring the film

As many people have said, this is a good film that was dragged down by the Chinese translation. Many people who have watched it will regard it as an inspirational film. Yes, it is indeed a very good inspirational film. If there is a will, everything will come true, and that's the kind of person I'm talking about. But today, ten years later, after reviewing the film, I prefer to regard it as a police film.

At the time when the full sequence of the personal genome is about to be tested for $1,000, the unspoken rules that discriminate against those with imperfect genes described in the film may be in the near future. According to the current speed and trend of biotechnology development, I am sure I can witness with my own eyes that geneticists dominate people's ancestry as in the film. I think if you can choose, most people will be happy to choose the most perfect offspring as in the film, but for all mankind, from a sad point of view, maybe this will be a precursor to self-destruction: perfection means homogeneity. This means that the simplification of the race, the ability of humans to resist unknown risks will become zero. A long-proven example is that sickle anemia as a defect is a gift from nature to humans to fight against malaria.

But the sad thing is that even if everyone knows that there is such a risk, choosing the perfect offspring will be the general trend. Nature has long carved selfishness into human nature.

Gattaca quotes

  • [Irene has discovered Vincent's secret]

    Irene: I don't even know who you are.

    Vincent: I'm the same person I was yesterday.

    Irene: I can't hear any more of your lies Jerome...

    Vincent: My name is Vincent, all right? Vincent Anton Freeman, and I'm a "faith birth" or a "de-gene-erate", whatever you want to call it; but I am NOT a murderer!

    Vincent: You're a "God-child"?

    Vincent: [takes Irene's hand and places over his heart] But we do have one thing in common, only I don't have twenty or thirty years left in mine. Mine is already ten thousand beats overdue.

    Irene: It's not possible.

    Vincent: You are the authority on what is not possible, aren't you Irene? They've got you looking for any flaw, that after a while that's all you see. For what it's worth, I'm here to tell you that it is possible. It is possible.

  • Vincent: I don't know how to thank you.

    Jerome: No, no. I got the better end of the deal. I only lent you my body. You lent me your dream.
