This movie, completely changed my life. The most inspiring story.

Getting old but still works. The future has caught up and went further. Designer babies are not available yet but the rejection of babies is. Lots of the ethical problems are the same as racism. I guess that is also actual.

I saw this movie some 7 years ago and it set an incredible special ambient into my mind. It is a movie that sets your mind thinking about genetic selection. Even after so many years I get the CD from my movie collection and watch it again. It's a film house type movie just like the Bi centennial man.

Film Review: "Gattaca" (1997)Overstepped by films as "The Full Monty" and "Good Will Hunting" (both 1997) in Academy Award category for Best Picture at the 70th Oscars ceremony, Author Director Andrew Niccol, with the age of 32, delivers a visionary science-fiction film that had been backed by Danny DeVito's production company Jersey Films and picked up by Columbia Pictures for distribution.I can only recommend to watch this picture in the best available quality concerning picture and sound, preferably on a certified-projected movie theater's canvas with a digital surround sound system. Already the opening credits promise a feast for the senses with a man cleaning parts of his body in extreme close-up slow-motion shots captured by cinematography Slawomir Idziak.The beyond emotional extra-classy original score by composer Michael Nyman creates sensual thrills in awe. Actor Ethan Hawke as feeling-incomplete, struggling character of Vincent Freeman in near-future society, where the human gene decides, which occupation one receives in life. Incapable to settle on his fate, Vincent infiltrates the Gattaca Space Programm with stolen DNA probes from crippled character Jerome Morrow, performed with pin-pointing beat work by Jude Law.Together they create on-screen work relationship that is unique in motion picture history, before Vincent encounters other character as Irene, portrayed by Uma Thurman as calmly receivable "Gattaca" superior favored one, in a labyrinth-suspense-pushing film noir scenario; even further ascending tension points when murder strikes at the space program training center.By the end "Gattaca" becomes the balanced science-fiction film of a generation; a picture, we can even closer relate to nowadays, where Bio-mechanical cell engineering has become reality and the digitized world of today pushes society of tomorrow to achieve, to strive and fulfill the tasks given under immense pressure of constant floating borders of social status.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
