Great but overlooked

This is a sci-fi movie "Closer", and after watching it, I immediately felt like I had to write something. I've watched a lot of movies lately, but I don't seem to be impressed.
Why is such a good film ignored? The film made in 1997 may be people who are used to watching commercial films with big scenes, big productions, and big money. Or this film is also a commercial film, but what I want to say is that this is definitely the most connotative commercial film.
In the future world, genes seem to decide everything. When a person is born, he decides when he will die and what the cause of death will be. This may be the fate that I often talk about recently. Hehe, it is often easy for people with excellent genes to succeed. The sentence in the film is very well said, "But there is no gene that determines fate."
An inspirational story , a science fiction film full of humanity.
The story unfolds in flashbacks. The protagonist, Geron, is a space pilot, but there is still a week before his liftoff. This is an enviable profession, and of course you need to have the best genes to hold this position, especially in this future society where genes determine everything. But some subtle movements of the protagonist at the beginning of the film tell us that things are not so simple. So Geron began to recall how he did it all.
Jielon is a naturally born child, but nature cannot be so perfect. From the moment he was born, he was determined to have heart failure and he could only live to his thirties. Natural father did not intend for this child to inherit his name. Anton, let this kid be called Vincent. Later, Jielon had a younger brother, but this child was the product of the best genes selected through genetic screening. During the growth of the two brothers, the younger brother Anton was better than Vincent in every way, and he got more fathers. Love. Although Vincent had a dream since he was a child, to fly into space as a astronaut, but it was impossible for him, but Vincent never gave up. When the brothers grew up, Vincent left the house. Because of his genes, he could only work as a cleaner. Finally, one day, he came to Getka, which was one step closer to his dream of flying, but He's still a cleaner here, watching the spacecraft lift off every day, and he finally decides to make some changes to make his dream come true, albeit against the law.
Vincent got to know the real Geron. Unfortunately, although Geron has excellent genes, he was paralyzed due to an accident. At this time, Vincent took advantage of Geron's identity to enter the Getka Company and did a pilot. Wash your body every day, put on contact lenses, and even prepare Geron's blood and urine in advance.
Seeing that Vincent was about to succeed, at this time, a director of the company who opposed the liftoff plan died suddenly. The intervention of the police made Vincent's identity suspicious. At this time, he fell in love and fell in love with his Colleague Irene, one by one incidents put him in danger of revealing his identity. In the end, the truth came out. It turned out that the director was the murderer, and the police officer who was investigating turned out to be Vincent's younger brother Anton. When the brothers met, it was not a warm brotherly relationship, but Anton wanted to arrest Vincent. During the quarrel, the brothers decided to try their childhood game swimming again. At this time, Vincent was no longer the boy he was, and he was relaxed. The win over his brother.
Finally, I finally saw the exciting moment. Vincent ascended to space as he wished and fulfilled his childhood dream.
At the end, I suddenly found that this may not be a complete science fiction film, it is more about human nature, or this story can be moved to the present, or the past, no matter what era, as long as you live in human society, work hard Changing fate and conquering fate is a timeless topic.
Finally, I would like to recommend all friends who have not seen this film to watch it, or you will see more things from this film.

    The translated name of this C6 is too embarrassing, but the faces of Ethan Hawke and Jude Law are really tender and beautiful.
