Weak And Misfits In The Movie Gattaca
The movie GATTACA is a dystopian film based on genetics and social segregation. Throughout the movie, Vincent, the main character, tells his life story in fragments. Vincent is one of the two children his parents had and has organic genes, whereas his brother was made to be genetically advanced through selection.
Society in GATTACA runs much differently than in the real world. Citizens are segregated by whether or not they were genetically advanced. Some upsides to this way of living are that people have perfect health and long, fulfilling lives. It is also shown in the movie that those who are advanced are respected and have high ranking jobs. People who were born with untouched genetics were considered unworthy of a lush life in society for not having perfect health. These people are treated poorly and are given common jobs, such as custodians or window cleaners.

With the world already having the amount of discrimination that it does, adding another way to subliminally segregate people would only make it worse. This question, “If we were able to exclude the eccentric, the different, the misfits, and the weak, what would happen to society?” is said as if the different, weak and misfits were not already excluded. Throughout all of history, the aforementioned of a community have been looked down upon by the rest of society. Even today the world struggles to accept these people. If this discrimination were to amplify, the already cliché, “clique-like” society of most of the modern world would

    Andrew Niccol's 1997 film Gattaca supports the belief that nature, despite its defects, is preferable to a flawless genetically engineered existence. This idea is explored through the character of Vincent who exhibits desire, resilience and determination, natural ‘human' elements that cannot be manufactured and are seemingly not present in the ‘faultless' future that is presented in Gattaca. These characteristics appear to be contrasted by the other characters in the film, such as Anton and the conforming Irene, who are perceived to be ‘flawless' in the context of their surroundings but are quite mechanical and emotionless. This is due to the fact that whilst they are genetically ‘perfect', they do not seem to possess the human qualities, such as the endeavor or the spirit that Vincent embodies.…

    From the day Vincent was born, he had always been concidered as highly flawed, and as an 'invalid'. His parents were planning on carrying on the family name with their first born child by calling Vincent, Anton, after his father, Antonio. However, once finding out that Vincent was prone to illness' such as neurological disorder, manic depression, attention deficit disorder, heart failure, and was expected to live for only 30.2 years, Vincent's father felt that he wasn't worthy of the family name, and decided to call him Vincent Anton instead. Mother and Father, Maria and Antonio had a second child, who Antonio felt was worthy of the family name, because unlike Vincent who was conceived the natural way, Anton was born through genetic engineering. As the two boys grew up, Anton was always considered superior to Vincent as he was always upstaging him at everything they did. Until one day, when the two boys played a game of chicken. Like usual, Anton was expecting Vincent to turn around and swim back to shore. However, no matter how much effort he put into trying to beat his brother, Anton and Vincent were neck and neck the whole swim. Anton was confused at how Vincent still had the energy to swim, and finally Anton wasn't able to go on any longer and he gave up. Passing out and starting to drown, Vincent saved his brother's life. For the first time in their lives, Vincent was better than Anton at something. Even though everybody believed that he wasn't good enough to acheive his goals, Vincent now believed that he could achieve anything that he set his mind to. Vincent decided to run away from home and he got a job as a janitor at Gattaca. This was his first glimpse of Gattaca, and he liked what he saw.…

    “Gattaca” is a movie about a man named Vincent who is born into a “new” society that uses genetics as the make-up for what social class you are given and will remain in, no matter what you do. Vincent is a “godchild”. He is born the “natural way”, without any genetic altering and his future is set for him as soon as he is conceived. His place in society is at the bottom of the social class and with all his “birth defects”, he seems to be placed even lower. He has poor eyesight and heart problems among many other things and is only given a life expectancy of around thirty years of age. He is denied the basics of life such as medical care and education. When his brother, Aton, is born through genetic alteration, Vincent becomes even more aware of his “differences” when even his own family begins to turn against him in hopes of furthering Aton to an even better social class than he has already been born into. His father tells him that he can never be an astronaut and that he should be helping his little brother to succeed. Despite Vincent’s dreams, he is a “godchild” and has no real future, until he meets a DNA broker who can, and does, change his life forever. In the movie “Gattaca” we see several terms and theories used in sociology that can be used to break down the movie into a sociological perspective of how life could be in the future.…

    From the moment Vincent was born he was faced with a list of negative problems he would have to overcome in the future: “ADHD, manic depression, heart failure, and an early fatal potential of 30.2 years”. Those unfortunate enough to be born as an INVALID citizen were automatically assumed to be worthless and were never given the opportunity or choice to reach their true potential or even think that they had the capability to do so. For Vincent, life became more and more difficult as he got older; he was refused the right to enter kindergarten, and every job he tried to get he was immediately rebuffed after a DNA test was taken. Vincent had his heart set on travelling through space and becoming an astronaut but was laughed at and consistently put down by even his own father who said “Son, the only time you’re going to see the inside of a spaceship is if you’re cleaning it . Anton was always favoured over Vincent as he was ‘superior’ to him in many ways; he was stronger, taller, a better athlete this is a good example of how much of a minor thing such as someone’s DNA can have such a huge impact on society.…

    It would appear in the film, that genetically enhanced beings are preferred over naturally developed humans. Genetic engineering is believed to create a superior being; a human free from supposed "genetic dispositions" including anything from premature baldness to behavior disorders. This notion creates a division of superiority starting from birth. For example, Vincent, the protagonist of the film, was a God-child; his younger brother Anton, one the other hand, was genetically crafted. During the designing phase of Anton's genes, his parents have second thoughts about whether or not to "leave some things to chance," but after his mother gazes toward Vincent, seeming to acknowledge his imperfections, nods in agreement to alter the embryo. It's from this moment forth that Vincent, even from his parents perspective, is seen as defective and inferior. His unborn sibling is "worthy of his father's name" and quickly becomes to the family's preference. Discrimination is not only used in personal matters such as these, but also in the workforce. Biologically engineered individuals are given the most prestigious positions, whilst those naturally born are deemed subordinate and reserved for menial work. Vincent falls victim to this bias and describes how he "belonged to a new underclass, no longer determined by social status or the color of your…

    It is inexcusable to consider others as less than who they are, simply due to the fact they are members of a separate race.

    Lastly, despite our widely diverse population, groups often naturally segregate themselves. Even simplistic situations such as the school lunch room have unintentional segregation. The popular kids, the nerds, the jocks, the goths, and even the dragon book kids (people who read the eight part thick book series), and they don’t intentionally self- segregate. As human beings, we enjoy being around people with similar opinions as we have. This is shown in Lisa Goessel’s movie trailer “My So- Called Enemy” where the girls say “they don’t want to build a bridge” (Gossels) to join the Palestinians and Israeli…

    People are viewed as outsiders, or abnormal, when they don't quite fit the "acceptable" mold that has been put in place by society's harsh requirements, often leading these individuals to be unhappy and depressed.

    In our world today, the standards of society are what many of us live by. The people who do not meet these qualifications are cast out by society. The novel The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, demonstrates what being on the outside is like. The Greasers, labeled as outsiders, are viewed by their community as hoodlums and criminals; the only reasons being that they are not well off, put grease in their hair, and dress differently. Reading this book made me think of a very important lesson everyone should live by: you should not judge or treat a person differently because of their differences.…
