Gattaca
Gattaca. Dir. Andrew Niccol. Perf. Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman.
Gattaca deals with the theme of lying to people about his true self and eventually feels some guilt. This film tells the story of Vincent, who has always dreamed to work for the space program, Gattaca. Vincent knows the struggles that await him in pursuing this goal because when he was born, doctors predicted that he will die at age thirty due to heart failure. Throughout his life, he faces genocism, which is like racism, but it illegally discriminates against people’s genes. This makes Vincent feel inferior, so he decides to take another man’s identity named Jerome to fit into society. The actual Jerome is part of the superior race although he is disabled. As Vincent lives through this dual identity, he feels guilty for lying to Irene, the woman he loves, by not telling her that his real name is Vincent and that he has inferior genes. In the end, Vincent continues to be Jerome and accomplishes his dream to work for Gattaca.
