Reflection and Summary of Gattaca
This is an interesting movie. It shows us that humans use DNA to distribute different jobs to different people. Even though, you work very hard to improve yourself, you still cannot change your fate any more. Vincent is the main character in Gattaca. He is one off the last natural babies born. Because of his DNA, he only can live 30 years. In contrast, he had a brother who has perfect DNA. They had a game which is chicken. Vincent always lost the game because his brother had a better body. However, the last time they swam in the sea, Vincent became a winner for the first time. Then, Vincent left his family, and he got a bad job. He didn’t like his job and his life, and he wanted to have some changes. One day, he got a chance to change his life and finished his dream. Eugene had perfect DNA, and he had a better job. However, he had a car accident, and he couldn’t finish his job. Vincent acted like Eugene to keep working to finish their dream which was they want to go to space. Vincent was very careful to do anything. He was successful to cheat everybody about his identity until he met Irene. Because of love, he told everything to Irene, and he wanted to get forgiveness from Irene. In the end, Vincent was successful to go to space, and he finished their dream. Eugene killed himself in the stove.
I think using DNA to distribute different jobs to different people is unfair. If you don’t have perfect DNA that means you cannot enroll in any school. Even though, you work very hard and very carefully to do everything, and you cannot change your fate any more. That world is very cold; you cannot see any hope in your life. I think Vincent is very courageous and very lucky because he can finish his dream even though he has poor DNA. He never follows his fate, and he changes his fate. In the end, I think people should work for their dreams and we should use all of our attention to achieve it.
