GATTACA

Gattaca is a movie that we watched in class.  This movie was very interesting.  Its about a boy named Vincent who brother name is Anton.  When the parents wanted to have a perfect child, they used the eugenics theory of a perfect child.  They took all of the bad genes out of Anton and gave him more genes.  I remember the doctor asking the parents if they want to take out this disease of Anton.  Aton was a way more healthier child then Vincent.  Anton and Vincent would always have a swimming contest who could swim the farthest. They called it chicken.  One day when they Vincent beats his brother Anton.  After Vincent won, he decides to leave, after he leaves he decides to rip his picture, I am really not sure why he did this but he did.  Once Vincent leaves he wants to research his dream and go to space.  He runs into many problems because the people who controls who goes to space wont allow him to go because he has many problems.  This movie is based off of the theory of eugenics, forming the perfect child.  When he goes he mets this guy named Jerone who is a guy who had perfect genes, but he doesn't really use them because he was hit my a car and became paralyzed. So they transform Vincent into Jerone so that Vincent can go to space.  Vincents had to do many things to look like Jerone, but they finally did it.  One day when VIncent goes to work aka Jerone there is a murder that occurs.  Vincents real hair was found and now he is a suspect but they can't find Vincent because he looks like Jerone.  This movie is very confusing but it is really interesting.  It made me understand the world of how eugenics works.  In my opinion eugenics ruins families just like it did to Vincent and his family.  Anton Vincents brother really didn't get along because their parents focused more on Anton because he was a perfect child and Vincent had a few problems.  I remember when the doctor asked the parents that they could take out this gene because it had a diesea in it.  Vincent is a strong person because he didn't let anyone tell him he can't.  Vincent never got busted with the polices because him a Jerone had a good plan of getting around them.  Vincent was a hard working man with a lot of help from his buddy.  He got to go to space, thats what he always wanted to do.  I think this movie is very interesting, it helped me understand the world of eugenics.  I truly enjoyed this movie it wasn't just about one person giving his DNA to another person I think it also a life lesson, let nobody tell you you can't just like Vincent does in this movie.
