GATTACA
In the movie GATTACA society has been divided into two groups, the genetically gifted and the invalide.A child conceived through genetic manipulation has a better if not ensured chance of success,than an invalid. Vincent is not genetically gifted and struggles to overcome his genetic differences, and follow his dream to travel into space.
‘’Jerome was engineered with everything he needed to get into Gattaca… except the desire to do so.’’--Vincent. If someone don’t have a desire to do something it’s pointless to do it. If a person does something that does not interest he will eventually get depressed and do the unexpected what ever that might be. What made Vincent different was his desire of space travel. In this fact vencent is somewhat better than Jerome. People with genetic manipulation are considered to be perfect. But no one can be prefect.
In this sense Jerome is imperfect because he does not have desires. Even though Jerome was born for the job he disliked it. While Vincent was not genetically engineered for the job, he had the desire to which is the most important thing. He showed that he could make it even though others did not believe in him, which is amazing and he became a hero for those without genetic manipulation.
In conclusion no matter what racism will always exist but that won't stop heros from proving them wrong. In reality Vincent was the one that had what it took to get into Gattaca, his desire was all he needed.
This also might be related to destiny. Maybe Vincent was meant to travel space. His fate was to help the genetically gifted that there are some things they can't change like fate,and desire because there is no gene for desire.
In conclusion no matter what racism will always exist but that won't stop heros from proving them wrong. In reality Vincent was the one that had what it took to get into Gattaca, his desire was all he needed.
