Gattaca Questions
GATTACA questions.
Q1. ~The significance of the two quotes that appear at the start of the film.

Q5. ~ Vincent’s motivation comes from Vincent getting discriminated by his dad, saying that ‘the only way you’re going to see the inside of a spaceship is if you’re cleaning it.’ So that motivated him, and also Vincent finally beating his brother in a game of chicken.
Q6. ~ The key scene on the spiral staircase after Vincent gets the job at GATTACA gas a symbolic, because when Vincent gets home from the interview, he is standing above Eugene as a sign of superiority.
Q7. ~ I would describe the film as a ‘dystopian’ society because although it is functioning okay, it is being discriminating towards anyone who isn’t genetically perfect, so for those who aren’t perfect it is dystopian.
Genre:
Q1. It works because of the film techniques, which have up-close and personal views, all the way to dramatic exits and entrances from a distance. It also has colours that represent a science
