1.(3) In my opinion, Vincent was someone who set out to do something and would stop at nothing to accomplish his dream. He would let no one bring him down because he wanted to go into space more then ever. Although he might have been nervous at times since and thing as little as an eyelash could show who he was, he was willing to take consciousnesses no matter what. Jerome on the other hand was very different. As it refereed to many times in the movie he had been known as a very respected person, but he then tried to kill himself. This confuses me because something must have happened to him. I think they were mirror image of each other because they both could combine there strengths and weaknesses to help the other, as in keeping balance in between each other.
2.(4) I don't think that Jerome was mentally ill, i think he was confused. He seemed to be somewhat superior but then killed him self in the end because he did feel as though he fit into his world anymore. Like he had grown himself.
3.(7) I think that the society portrayed in GATTACA was wrong because its showed too much perfection. It obvious showed that someone like Vincent could go into space even with his heart condition because he wanted it more than anything. Everyone has the right to do anything they want if they try hard enough. Also i don't think there should be such a thing as designer babies, because every baby is born differently and in there own perfect way, no one can really control when someone is gonna die or if they will have a disease that's all up to fate. But this movie is showing the stereotype of perfection. No one can reach perfection because everyone is perfect in there own way and should not be molded into something they would not have been.
I thought this was a really great movie. I loved the cast and the whole idea was fantastic. The message i thought was really good because i said that anyone can do what they set there heart to. I thought it was cool how it showed the idea of how a designer baby can be made. This movie also made me wonder if this is how the future will be. I would be interesting if people could actually make designer babies.
Both the movies GATTACA and Cracking the Code of Life were based on the genetics and make-up of humans. GATTACA shows how things like designer babies could be made and how you could see what diseases they would have once born. Cracking the Code of Life was more of how to prevent diseases in someones DNA. Both these movies made me think about how a human can be formed and how something so simple as a wrong letter in your DNA can mess-up you life. The characters were very different since in GATTACA it was a movie and in Cracking the Code of Life it was more of a documentary on how scientists where finding things out by using someones DNA.
