GATTACA movie questions

1. First I think they are both determined, ambitious, but they both failed on something. Vincent has a lifelong dream of going into the space, and he will do anything to make it happen. Jerome has always been a good swimmer and he's always winning. But once he got a third place instead of a first, he melted down and walked in front of a car then sits in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

2. I don’t think he was mentally ill, instead I think he was depressed. Because he was disabled could no longer do thing he loves the most in his life --- swim.

3. Because each time Anton swum with Vincent, he saved his energy to swim back. But for Vincent, like I said, he is determined, he wants to beat his brother so bad. He gave out all his strength to achieve his goal.

4. Because the society is running in the way they (the people with genetically disable) can't win on, they don't get to have a chance on something they might good at, just because of the gene in their body. They begin to lose the faith in this society, thus, the resistance comes up.

5. There's no more trust between people, the only thing that people trust is genes. People don’t get to treated equally, children get abandoned or neglected. The society judge and determine people's jobs based on their genetic background.

6. Yes, parents want that for their children. But sometimes having the perfect genes is not everything that the child wants, it’s sort of extra pressure for them. But once anyone who doesn't fit into those 'perfect' features is thrown away and disregarded like garbage even though they're people. It’s devoid of fun and vitality and everything like that because everything is controlled and restricted for them, and the people are all obey to the rules and laws.

7. Because he's using Jerome's identity, cause Jerome's genes were enhanced, also his hard working and his determined mind.

8.

    Anton is given the start in his life that Vincent lacks. He is also described as ‘a son worthy of his father’s name’. Director Niccol uses the swimming scenes (a game called Chicken) to compare the different attitudes that both Anton and Vincent have toward their life difficulties. Anton’s true character is revealed in their final game of Chicken when he stops on several occasions, overcome with fear, calling on Vincent to return to the shore. His arrogance takes over and he refuses to acknowledge and accept that he, a ‘perfect’ and Valid individual, has limitations. Because of this Anton almost drowns, and Vincent has to rescue him. Therefore these swimming scenes clearly epitomise the rivalry between the two types of genetic…

    The geneticists mentioned that he is trying to give the parents the”best possible start” and that the child will be the “best of you.” I think people are misunderstanding that the child is the best of you, but not the best human being, because we are not perfect. Imperfection is what makes human unique. This shows that the genetic traits are the potential guides or the “start” of life, but people can still change due to their living environment. Sometimes I think gaining too much control of things makes it too complicated and it is better to leave it to nature and chance, just like how the parents in the film wanted some traits to be…
