Why is it that most people don't even know Gattaca exists when it is one of the freshest, most interesting and scientifically accurate science fiction films ever made? Seriously I would put it at like six or seven in my all time scifi list.
>>
I wouldnt have known about it if we hadnt watched it in my biology class.
>>
>implying he didn't endanger everyone
>>
It's my all time favourite movie.
It's not just any sci-fi movie, it's about a man and his dream.
It's about this man standing up to the world and saying "Fuck you world, I'm good enough.".

even though the message was good, its execution was flawed

other than that, its an alright film. nothing too exciting or new. i do highly appreciate how scientificly realist it is, aside from the above problem

The movie was really good, and I agree that it was vastly overlooked.
But I don't really understand why it is so lauded on /tv/ over so many other movies.

It seems to be a popular film to show in high school biology class

I enjoyed the film watching it casually, but then it was one of the films we had to study in English where we had to watch it 4 times and butcher it.

I swear English ruins any text for me.

Jerome, Vincent, Anton, Irene, Eugene. These are black names? Where do you live that they're "black", when they're clearly European.

Beautiful movie, even though he had what it took to make his dream come true you still feel hopelessness knowing the sacrifices he had to make.

i never said that those names are those of a niggers. the guy asked what are black names, so i gave him a small list of examples

It gives "dem feels" and has a very realistic take on the genre. It tapes into a small but passionate fan bases of pseudo intellectuals that /tv/ can relate with. Not to say that its not good. It's one of my favorites. I love the film noir look and feel of it all.

first its the superficial physical traits like height and eye color. then the more serious ones like asthma or a heart condition. next itl be mental/neurological things like dyslexia, add, maybe even homosexuality until everyone will be a bland near identical cookie cutter characture of each other. no one will have unique characters devoloped from adversity and struggle everyone will be the same, jump as high or run as far as the other coming up with the same solutions to the wolds problems. thats the future with eugenics

I absolutely loved that part.

Just like how October Sky isn't about a kid building rockets, it's about a kid's relationship with his father. The business suites was like the movie shouting "THIS MOVIE ISN'T ABOUT ROCKETS, IT'S ABOUT A MAN ACHIEVING HIS DREAM DESPITE ALL OF SOCIETY WORKING AGAINST HIM."

Jude law sui iding at the end was lame.

And the whole I never saved any for the return trip was cheesy. And his bad heart was a liability to the mission and he shouldnt have joined had he any real conscience

>Jude law suiciding at the end was lame.
Nigger was depressed, what did you expect? He got a silver medal when he was BORN for gold. He *never* had the drive to be something, in fact, I would say he was burdened by his genetics. He found someone who could go somewhere on his genome and don't you dare tell me that Vincent didn't earn it.
>And the whole I never saved any for the return trip was cheesy.
Maybe a little, but it was still earnest and not hammy.
>And his bad heart was a liability to the mission and he shouldnt have joined had he any real conscience
His bad heart? No. He had a RISK of having a bad heart, nobody cared to look at him, they only saw his genome. That's the point of the whole movie, that's the point you missed.
And I don't think he was a liability to the mission. I previously mentioned how they only looked at people's genome, but as the Mission Director or whoever he was said, they still tested everyone thoroughly to see if they were up to snuff. If he wasn't capable, they would have dropped him from the mission.
