One movie a day
 |
| Gattaca by Andrew Niccol |
In the future, you can choose the genotype of your "perfect" children. Although it is officially banned, compagnies use DNA testing to select their staff. Gattaca is a center of spatial study and research for people with impeccable genetic heritage. Jerome, an ideal candidate, sees his life destroyed by an accident. Vincent, a natural child which is relegated to menial tasks, dreams of going to space. Each will allow the other to get what he wants.
When the gene is more important than anything else
This is one the best sci-fi, but given the way things are going, it may be no more "fiction" soon. In a totally different world, injustices have changed but are still there and cheaters live in fear of being discovered. This cold and controlling society adds a thriller side to the movie that will give you something to think about. Special mention for the stone faces actors and Ethan Hawke who seemed more alive than ever.
