*GATTACA


Why do you think Vincent left his family, tearing his picture out of the family photo, after winning the swimming race against his brother?
I think that they left him out because he wanted them to think of his brother was still the best.
Describe the relationship between Vincent and Anton.
 Anton and Vincent relationship was that Anton is better then him so Vincent always came after him.

When Jerome Morrow said to Vincent/Jerome, “They’re not looking for you. When they look at you, they only see me,” what did he mean? Can you find any parallels to this type of situation in real life?
I think it meaning that when they see him, he is perfect because jerome has the perfect DNA. And yes because someone can change their outer appearance.

Choose your favorite character from the film. Explain why you choose that person. Would you want to be that person? Why? Why not?
 My favorite person was Vincent because he had the drive to accomplish his dream.

At the end of the film, you are told that the Doctor knew about Vincent all along. Why did the Doctor go along with the fraud? What would you have done if you were the Doctor?
The doctor went along with the fraud because i think he wanted vincent to accomplish dream. If i was the doctor i would have also get him go because its shouldn't matter he he does not have perfect DNA.
  
The technology to do what was done in the movie is definitely possible within the next fifty years. Do you think that Vincent’s world could eventually happen in America? Why?
I believe that it can happen, because we are getting so advanced with technology its just a matter of time.

What do you think is wrong with the society portrayed in "GATTACA"? What is right?
I believe that it is not right, they should not be ranked on the DNA. It doesnt tell you who is a good person or really wants this job. 
   
What were the screenwriters trying to tell us through the episode of the 12-fingered pianist? Is anything wrong with engineering children to have 12 fingers if, as a result, they will be able to make extraordinarily beautiful music?
 i dont think it is wrong to engineer your children, it would just make them better. However it would be a little weird to have 12 fingers. 

You and your spouse are having a child and are at the Genetic Clinic pictured in the movie. What characteristics would you want for your child and what would you ask to be excluded? Why would you make those choices?
I would want to make my children with the best looks and talents, and good health
  
Picture yourself as either Vincent, Jerome, or Anton. Would you have acted the same or done things differently if you were in the same world as them?
If i was jerome i would kill myself. Vincent- i would not have done anything different. Anton- i would try to get along with my brother.

How does the society in GATTACA resemble the type of society America was during the height of the eugenics movement?
America wants people to be perfect, good looks and brains!
