Gattaca (1997)

In the not-too-distant future, a less than perfect man wants to travel to the stars. Society has categorized Vincent Freeman as less than suitable given his genetic make-up and he has become one of the underclass of humans that are only useful for menial jobs. To move ahead, he assumes the identity of Jerome Morrow, a perfect genetic specimen who is a paraplegic as a result of a fall. With some professional advice, Vincent learns to deceive DNA and urine sample testing. When a colleague is killed he is finally scheduled for a space mission, but a colleague suspects his origins and the police begin an investigation.

*Tagline: There is no gene for the human spirit.
*生活在一個以基因為主的世界中,人的造化似乎在出生時...不,在還沒受孕時就已經決定,或是被父母所決定...如此,不就扼殺人類一切的努力和夢想?比任何的歧視:性別,階級,種族...還要可怕哩!
*看這部電影,讓我想到Minority Report(2002),兩位主角John和Vincent都在努力證明,人擁有無窮的潛能,絕非電腦程式可以預測或基因優劣來決定...
*Ethan Hawke和Uma Thurman因這部戲而結婚耶,本來以為Uma比Ethan年紀來的大,沒想到是同年次...
*Jerome: I got the better end of the deal. I only lent you my body - you lent me your dream.
