Gattaca is a sci-fi oldie, made in 1997.This movie takes place in the "future" where upper class people genetically design their babies. They are known as "valids." The children born the traditional way are known as "invalids." Everyone is profiled by their DNA, so the valids get all the proffessional jobs wherease the invalids who easily get diseases, only obtain small insignificant jobs. This story is about a man named Vincent Freeman (Ethan Hawke). He is one of the last natural babies of the world. His lifelong dream is spacetravel. However in this genetically enchanced world, where people are made via genetical engineered in-vitro thus making them pretty much perfect, Vincent can't travel in space. He has too many health problems and is seen by the valids as a degenerate. In order to trick the system he uses the DNA of a valid as his own.
I absolutley love this movie. It is definetly one of my favorites. The acting, everyone's acting is absolutley amazing, the filming is beautiful, it was never boring. It was pure amazment. It might seem slow at first, (but the good kind of slow, which I like) there isn't any shooting action or anything like that, it's not really an action type film. It's a very touching film, it's beautiful and I cried, you'll cry. There isn't anything I can really say about this movie except that it was amazing and so beautiful. I (as you may have noticed and/or guessed) give it a 10/10.
Favorite Tageline: How do you hide when you're running from yourself?
If you haven't seen it. Go see it. It's out on dvd, has been for a while, go rent it.
Sincerly,
