Gattaca essay
In the movie “Gattaca” there is a person who wants to go far in life but has a heart failure which makes him slow down on his life dream. Vincent wants work in this business but won’t accept him because of his genes. Vincent is sad and upset he can’t make his dreams because people told him he wasn’t eligible. In the movie he says “They used to say that a child conceived in love has a greater chance in happiness’’ he means that people only think about a love a person gets. Vincent is saying people don’t care for love they only care for their genes and what they carry in their blood.
In the movie genes are for a person’s race. In the movie they separate people by their genes and they do that in two class the people with perfect genes and the people with non-perfect genes like Vincent.This makes some sense cause people with a heart condition can’t work in something that involves in extreme action and people won’t hire people for their color. They wanted genes to define someone’s race because they probably didn’t want problems with people skins. They also did it so they can take care of the “invalids” so they won’t get hurt while they work.
This movie is all about the human spirit. The human spirit in the movie is being said that anyone can overcome great adversity and there is no gene for the human spirit. In the movie Vincent is someone who is imperfection and strong will to live and chase his goals, on the other hand Jerome is a perfectly made man, lack of desire, addictions, and wants to kill himself. Vincent has a huge spirit that encourage him to keep following his dreams. Jerome just doesn't want to live even though he has the best genes ever. Even with no good genes Vincent still goes and doesn't stop for anything.
