Gattaca: Connection

This 1997 film Gattaca is a film based off in the not to far future. Written & Directed By Andrew Niccol .There are far so many ideas connected to this exotic film because of how solutions to problems can be solved from one person that is considered a “Defect”. Two ideas that are to be focused on are the ideas of Modernism (Involving innovative technologies, which follow.) And the idea of Eugenics (And how it affects discrimination and society as they know it.) The idea of Modernism and why it defies all other types of buildings, usually made from glass, steel and reinforced concrete. These buildings are meant for technologies beyond human power and knowledge. Based on the world of Gattaca and it’s non-diverse like world where everyone looks the same and acts the same, those who are perfect are considered “God children” Those with imperfect genes are considered “Defects” or “Degenerates”

The moral point of this movie is that, even if those who are god children can do everything. Doesn’t mean Defects and Degenerates cannot either, relating back to the fact those who are born normally are considered god children. But even god children like Jerome, he may have been a Gold Medalist Swimmer but he was bowled over by a car and broke his spine.

That then means he is now a so called “Degenerate” Or “Defect” because he cannot swim anymore which made him a Silver Medalist Swimmer
