Really u gave it all another meaning and the right one...😊

Chuck fell asleep on the sofa so Kelly decided to slip away (this divorced woman needed some tending to). Then he fell asleep on the raft and Wilson decided to float away. Falling asleep at pivotal moments is just how Chuck rolls. Wake up man!

If she was cheater, why run to him and say he was the love of her life?

Reading the comments here, it seems to me that many of you forget the woman he meets up with at the crossroads, near the end of the movie. th-cam.com/video/4aM1DjtaeF8/w-d-xo.html She's pretty and vivacious and apparently independent; a now he's become lean, tanned, and physically and mentally stronger. And so much wiser and more appreciative of life. It's, IMHO, a _great_ ending!

Wow! Something new and insightful on the Internet - amazing! NEVER thought of the issues of the movie in this way.

This is gold.

Girl would never recommend a dentist she was having an affair with.

Disagree with the actual thesis, but admit you make a very respectable case. Just as importantly, looks like you had a ton of fun doing it… Good on ya!

I agree with this theory, why would they make such a big deal of him having tooth ache, Dr Spalding, and then she's married to a dentist who knew Dr Spalding.

Brother my dad just put this on tv and we both lost our minds laughing lmfao You rock

this is brilliant

There was no point...watching the film. Nobody cared.

STFU. Making up stuff with no proof

Gattaca is about human struggle but in particularly about the struggles of disabled people in a world where only perfection is acceptable. Being disabled myself I have had to work so much harder than others to get much less. I loved the swim scene too because it’s how it feels to use every last ounce of yourself to keep going but even then he still saves his abled body brother and himself because bodies have limits but love does not. This was after a lifetime of his brother berating and abusing him for being disabled. He still rose above, carried the privilege sought across the water on his back. Great scene!

Thoreau.

Run Forrest, run!

I want to see a Kelly vs. Jenny Whorey death match!!

Zemeckis made an entertaining film up until the moment Chuck is rescued. But everything that follows is cringeworthy. Poorly written? Poorly acted? After watching this I am half convinced that it was all done with deep meaning. Or is the presenter reading too much into it? That said, when I saw it in the theater, I was largely gripped by the story. Every time I’ve watched it since, it has looked sillier and sillier. Perhaps I need to see it again.

Nope, Helen Hunt isn’t a great actor. She isn’t nearly as overrated as Diane Keaton, but still. Hunt plays a fairly unlikable character. Was she playing unlikable or is she just unlikable? She’s as nitwitted as she was in Twister.

monogamy is too cruel a thing... 😭

Not bad for a civilian.

Dude, thanks for breaking this movie down. I’ve seen it about 10 times but I never thought about it like this..👏👏👏

Crazy lol

bad take being honest, he overcame all the problems, so im sure he going to make it via space. also for me it was to provide that being perfect is more then genetics, its wiliness

Dude, The "random sound" was Tom Hanks laughing.😂😂😂 Haven't you seen his movies? He sometimes does a weezy laugh as he exhales (best way I can explain it).

We are never getting out of this planet... Maybe highly genetically modified versions of us will... Or just even easier, send humanoids...

Excellent video and discussion... Unfortunately in the end we all die, the earth will die, universe will die, everything is useless in the end...

Your’re amazing. Great mind, wonderful analyses. I came across your channel via the Cast Away and Gattaca videos. Terrific ideas in those! The amount views you have on your vids are criminal, you should be in the top tier. Keep going man, I will watch every last one of thesis videos from here on out.

Meg Ryan never would have given up on him, though, now that I think about it, she also was known to betray her significant other. Still, their love was magic.

I’m pretty sure this take is accurate.

I do believe this video makes sense, and it probably was cut out of the movie as too depressing. They already had a great movie with him being marooned on an island and her cheating on him could be seen as "too much". The clues are there, but it was intentional they did not explicitly put this into the plot.

I have NEVER noticed that Dean Norris was in Gattaca. Insane

Must have been after his holodeck shenanigans

They definitely dragged her being scared of Walt way too long, it was the most annoying part of the show

you have some sound reasoning in many cases but when you hyperfocus on rules you lose sight of the plot. and im not talking about the movies.

Your analysis is helpful and made the movie better. Still don’t understand why Jerome left fluids and killed himself knowing Vincent probably wouldn’t have made it back.

I had always assumed he was the killer because no motive was ever presented for anyone else.

I was a Fedex pilot for 26 years. At 5:30 when Tom Hanks is looking out the window at her and husband, that building and parking lot do not exist, they're on what we call the Germantown Ramp at the Memphis Fedex hub.

I think the moral of this story is that genetics only takes you so far. In the end it’s hard work and determination that allows you to succeed. In now way is it certain that he will die, or the mission is doomed to fail

I disagree with your take. The whole point of the movie was that society doesn’t define the person, the individual defines themselves. Vincent potential heart problem, is just that potential, there is a chance it might never happen. Vincent is also a genius, his borrowed ladder got him in the door, but his mind is what got him to be lead navigator. After the movie, I prefer to think his abilities are what saves the mission. But there is one dark point you failed to mention, if Vincent completes the mission, Jerome’s blood and other samples would all be from a 30 year old and damaged by cryo storage, he would be found out eventually and most likely charged with Jerome’s murder

I hate to be "that guy", but it's GATTACA in all caps. If you look at any of the promotional materials, movie posters, etc. it's always written as GATTACA. This comes from the way we write the nucleotides of DNA.

Very interesting and I thought it was a FedEx commercial sponsored by Wilson

To me the message of the movie was that the main character learned how to live a life without expectations, without having to be in a hurry, without holding onto other people, and that he can do anything by himself the way he wants to. Just breathe and see where the wind takes you.

06:13 *LOL* that got me good haha

Upstart hypocrite, then antihero

The people who don’t see cast away as a story about a “lost” love have never been in a relationship that went sour. Even when I was 12 when I first saw this movie I thought Hellen hunt was kind of a beotch with something weird going on. When I got older and rewatched the movie I was like, yep, Hellen hunt definitely did something funky. The scene where the husband turns her around at the airport is exactly how a lot of relationships are that were spawned of adultery, usually one has total control over the other and it’s probably because the relationship was not truly organic to begin with. The adulterous relationship is based on a sort of lie, hiding, guilt etc (basically a lot of emotions and ideas that aren’t exactly healthy. I never understood why people cheat outside of financial stability for the one party. It’s not like they want their cake and eat it too because the cheating party has plans on leaving but they don’t have the balls or ovaries to be honest in the first place and they be a relationship before starting a new one.

Gerome is no more a hero than what his brother Anton is. Where one had the physical attributes of perfection, the other had something beyond perfection within the imperfect. As Anton is genetically flawless, it would also stand to reason that his cognitive ability and mental state would be perfectly functioning. Psychologically, he would be very rational - weighing up the risk to reward factor to ensure the greatest chance of success and survival - perfect for a policeman. Vincent, on the other hand has been proven to be somewhat unstable, and willing to commit major fraud of identity and physical ability. He's also displayed aggressive and unreasonable behaviour - causing serious physical injury to others in order to protect his lie. There is a psychotic drive that propels Vincent into doing the irrational to ensure the greatest chance of success and survival. With all that said, the reason Vincent beat his brother twice in the swim races had little to do with physical ability, and more so with the irrationality of throwing all of your chips on the table and be at the mercy of the roll of the dice. It's all or nothing. In for a penny, in for a pound. There has to be a small degree of "psycho" for Vincent to "save nothing for the swim back." Anton's body didn't shut down on him during that swim. His mind did. For the second time, Anton couldn't comprehend how crazy Vincent truly was - panic set in and control was lost, where he then began to slip under the water. For the second time, Vincent's craziness outweighed the perfect man's perfect mental fortitude. Every achievement of greatness and to be awarded the highest of distinction, breakthroughs, pushing through unchartered frontiers into the unknown has always had some kind of madness behind it - a madness Anton or any "perfect human" would never possess. As I had mentioned earlier..."something beyond perfection within the imperfect."

The point of Gattaca is that Pretty people in Pretty suits go to Space. Average looking people do not.

Man, I think you're right. 🤯
