Question 1 – The society of Gattaca works to repress rather than to enhance the potential of human beings. Discuss. In a society where genetic superiority and engineering to create the ‘perfect’ person is a priority over all else‚ it would be a normal assumption that society would be a better place and people would be much happier‚ but in Gattaca it is quite the opposite. From the beginning of the film we see haunting images of the uniformity and soulless behaviour of the Gattaca employees. All people

Gattaca Discrimination I chose the photo of Vincent coming up on the substance test as an ’invalid’ because it is a good example of discrimination. In the world of Gattaca‚ the people who are ’invalid’ are seen as inferior and are considered lower-class people. They are given the lower class jobs as their genes show that they are not worthy of anything better. "I belonged to a new underclass‚ no longer determined by social status or the color of your skin. No‚ we now have discrimination

Gattaca‚ directed by Andrew Niccol‚ shows a story of a society where life is controlled by genetics‚ rather than education or experiences. Based on your DNA‚ society determines where you belong‚ and your future. This allows no room for people to gain experiences and to grow‚ as they are confined to a specific lifestyle. It is evident however in the film that Vincent tries to violate societies’ structure‚ by playing the role of a navigator‚ using his blood samples and urine. George Orwell‚ the author
