Heroism In Andrew Niccol's

Andrew Niccol's ‘Gattaca' is a science fictional film about ambition, conquest and determination.
The movie is set in the future with a number of very different characters, Vincent is a very determined soul who was brought into this world in what's not considered ‘'the natural way''. His parents decided that he was to be a god child which means they would leave everything under his hands, unfortunately god did not bless Vincent with the best genetic makeup and he was destined for failure and a life expectancy of 30 years.
Anton is his younger but bigger, stronger brother that was genetically created by the local pharmacist, Anton was named after his father, for he was more perfectly made up and was worthy of his fathers name where as Vincent
Irene is a sincere woman who I believe is quite understanding, she falls for Vincent not because of ‘his' genetic profile but for his personality and human spirit.

Jerome Morrow or Eugene is an under estimated hero of this film, his bad qualities like his drinking, smoking and snappy personality is made obvious, but his greater and heroic qualities remain uncovered.
Eugene gives the ultimate sacrifice of giving up his identity, in the beginning he is unhappy with his achievements (coming second), and gives up his identity for money and self pity.
But by the end of the story he has realised there is more to life and he is too late to realize this but as he says to Vincent "I just lent you my body, you lent me your dream", he is thankful to Vincent for this and makes the huge sacrifice of permanently giving his identity away to Vincent.
Another heroic and courageous act by Eugene is his own swimming scene where he climbs up the stairs in what seems takes an eternity.
Eugene does this in the act to protect his very close friends false identity and this is quite
