One of the most intelligent movies I have ever seen in my life. Especially the world building with all the little details regarding mentality is absolutely flawless. For example I like how no one in Gattaca seems to be able any more to recognize people by a photograph - simply because all the face are more of less the same (perfect and emotionless), and all that matters anyway is the genetic code.
2:33 The doctor may have already known Vincent was posing as Jerome by this moment. He was probably talking Vincent up to improve the way others thought of him
His first film and he wrote and directed a masterpiece. Andrew Niccol, what a genius! This has always been one of my favourite films, such an inspiring story!
Absolutely adore how so many external factors came about to shelter Vincent from being discovered. His brother posing obstructions in the way of his Superior, Lamar bypassing the revealing of his in-valid status during the tests.
@@FindingMyself90 the potential represents what a person can become as the ideal. Ideal is not something that can be exceeded, otherwise it would not be the ideal. The moment you exceed the ideal, it means that the ideal was not the ideal in the first place. This is the point the director is making in the scene.
I wonder if the mission director at least suspected "Jerome" of being an in-valid, but judged him by merit as being worthy of going up. He appears to believe in the system, but doesn't treat it as infallible. "Occasionally we've been forced to accept candidates with minor shortcomings." "No one exceeds his potential... [if so] we did not accurately gauge his potential in the first place."
Doesn't look so. We're heading to the maximum stupidity. People with their faces stuck on their smartphones' screens, eating shit, watching shit... At least in Gattaca they have excellence.
2:13 the hellscape of working for someone half your age. You've worked hard to obtain decades-worth of experience and your immediate supervisor is a mere kid.
As experienced as Alan Arkin is in the film, he’s wrong about every idea he has for the case. The main detective is a cover up artist but ultimately had the right ideas on how to solve the case either way.

In a deleted scene, the doctor is in on it the whole time. So is the old janitor.
The doctor is Jerome's father
@@oliviersac1 The doctor is not his father. His brother says in this movie that both his parents died believing they outlived him.
@@SiXiam he said Jerome's father not Vincent's father.
@@sebastianschmidt25 Doctor Lamar is neither of their fathers.
Was forced to analyse this movie in school but unlike the others, this film was actually a banger
Amen amen

I love the paradox of meeting and exceeding your potential.
And how it relates to Vincent's character
That's not a paradox. It's just impossible.
@@Beeti1 how is it impossible?

@@takuid I believe it. Thank you for breaking it down
Turn up the volume to hear the scene only to get blasted by the outro at the end
This scene...the way it's constructed,it's pace. Brilliant!
That heartbeat and these suspenseful strings playing in the background...
Alan Arkin RIP, 2023.
Thanks for the reminder. It's always wistful to hear someone you enjoyed to listen in a concert or to see in a masterpiece just passed away
At 4:20 that’s how I feel after the beep test
Alan Arkin was one of the most interestingly cast supporting actors for a very special sci-fi film like Gattaca.
Uma Thurman. Most gorgeous woman ever
Pretty big call…
Iryna Shayk is prettier… And she’s the first woman to come into my head.
If we’re talking Hollywood actresses I agree
Ethan Hawke aka Vincent Freeman left her. In the movie and in real life

Great actors.
Un film straordinario
Great Movie !
Ironically, the faster bpm, his bpm, is the sound of 169/170bpm not the slower one. That slower one is more like 90.
Scientist actually say this is the most realistic sci go film ever made
That took some will power!
Experience outranks everything.
Human society always finds a way to discriminate people
still the best depiction of where we are heading as humanity. well be watching this in 20 years from now and think... "how did the writer know?"
sounds like a beautiful future
IRL astronauts do require very strict health screening and physical exam because its such a demanding work. Its nothing new.
Given the situations that we have seen in many dystopian futures and how some people think the world will be. Gattaca is not really that bad.
Doesn't look so. We're heading to the maximum stupidity. People with their faces stuck on their smartphones' screens, eating shit, watching shit...
At least in Gattaca they have excellence.
No. We are heading the opposite path, where degeneracy and anti-intellectualism is paramount

when he said "terrific", he was not telling the truth
He was pretty close to having a cardiac arrest. The music makes this scene more intense.
@@daustin8888 How did she know he wasn't ok?
@@VNuxion He went off the band quite suddenly, plus the "weird" change in the heartbeat rate ... he walked away calmly and spoke well, so she just chilled again
@@FreeTibetFTW But how could she know his heart beat?
really? I couldn't tell by the way he nearly dies entering the locker room

Lol

Gattaca is a very intelligent movie, underrated and ahead of It's time. Not a masterpiece but very entertaining.
There's is no such thing like superior genes, just strong wills.

Kim Wexler from Better Call Saul!
Gabby Reece! Go FSU!
I would get fired for ogling the workout instructor too much.
Germans... lol
Wow, maybe one or two black people. What a vision of the future the filmakers were aiming for.
i'm all for diversity, but don't black people represent like 15% of US? They wouldn't necessarily get bigger in proportion there
