GATTACA Questions

Watching the movie GATTACA was pretty cool! I didn't get to finish all of it, but i think i only missed like 5 minutes of it. From what i saw it was different than most movies but it's crazy how the things that happened in the that movie happened.
Questions:

  1. A Degenerate is someone that has lost moral, physical, or mental qualities. In the movie, Vincent was considered "invalid" because he had heart problems and he was not the same as everyone else that worked where he wanted to. Vincent was a borrowed ladder with Jerome, because he took over his profile to be able to live his dream.
  2. I think he might have left his family, because Anton was definitely the "favorite" of the family, because he was "normal". Even in the beginning of the movie the mom wanted to name him Anton, but the dad said Vincent, and saved Anton for the "good" son.
  3. The relationship between Vincent was kind of shaky. Vincent was into other stuff than Anton, and  I think that was one of the things that set them apart. Vincent wasn't "normal" like Anton was, and he wasn't as in good of condition. He was a very strong guy though, that always tried coming out stronger, wanting to prove Anton wrong.
  4. When he said that, he meant that they werent looking for the Vincent/ Jerome that he now was, they were looking for the Vincent that he was. Untill his brother showed up,nobody had ever suspected of thought anyhting of it.
  5. I would have to say that my favorite character was Jerome Morrow. He was a very strong man, and didn't want people to feel bad for him just because he was in a wheel chair. He was not ashamed of being how he was. He had to draw blood from himself everyday, and urine too. He liked to have a drink every once in a while too, but he couldn't because it would come out with acohol in his urine. He had to sacrifice things he liked to do too. If you think, he might of had to do everything by himself before Vincent was there to help him do things. If i had to tell him something, i would tell him that i look up to him for being as strong of a man as he was.
  6. The doctor went along with the fraud, because his son was consodered as "invalid" too and he thought it was great that he was still going for his dreams just because he was considered "different". His son wanted to work at GATACCA and do what Vincent did. If i was the doctor i would have played along with it, because i believe that anyone should follow their dreams no matter how "invalid" they are considered.
  7. Thinking about it, America will probably end up with that type of technology some day in the future. We already use many different types of technology like that like with all of the many crimes that they have today. Technology like that is used every day in America now.
