People define who they are by having the ability to be who they want to be. Jerome‚ from Andrew Niccol’s Film‚ Gattaca‚ was never given the legal opportunity to be who he wanted to be. From birth he was told he had no potential‚ no chance at a stunning life. When his perfect younger brother‚ Vincent‚ was born it made it all the more harder for Jerome to cope with his faults. Jerome was tired of always being told he would never achieve his dream of going into space‚ so he took matters into his own
