In Andrew Niccol’s film Gattaca. Ambition is a major tool or descriptive method in this film, it is expressed by symbolism, by far one of the most obvious signs. Symbolism in this film is the Escalator. The reason I chose this idea is because the escalator is either constantly going up or constantly going down, in the Gattaca world it is constantly going up. Vincent, a In-valid or so to speak ‘Defect’ Is one of those people going up the Escalator for replicating DNA or to be a “Borrowed Ladder” from a god child named Jerome Morrows, whose only purpose to be alive was also to be a Borrowed Ladder towards Vincent. During Vincent’s time of faking his DNA or personality for being a Defect, the moral of this Ambitious events were, even if those who are god children can do everything. Doesn’t mean Defects and Degenerates cannot either,
