Gattaca - 30.2 Years

[TheGodParticle]

If they did a test like this when i was born it would probably read, Lazy 99%, beer drinking slob 99%, womanizer 99%. but hey! i'll die young, yes. But with a huge smile on my face.

[SuperIdelfonso]

the father didn't want to give his name to Vincent just because he wasn't f***ing perfect, WTH?

[23faithstar]

i have bad genes. im asthmatic, have anger mangement, have gotten scarlett fever in the 21st century (its so old the doctors thought it was like small pox: eradicated), didn't say real words till three, didn't potty train till three, and im predisposed to obesity, heart problems, pretty much every health problem that is inheritable imaginable. Im also supposed to be retarded due to my prem-mature birth.

but im not. i'm incredibly intelligent, smart, witty, and healthy

So are you no matter what

[kjjones4]

This future isn't too far off

[pacifiedfools]

I kind of think that "god child" should mean the opposite of what it means in the movie because the genetically engineered babies are more godly than the in vivo babies.

[agrigoat]

That is the worse midwife/OBGYN ever. Babies just born, lets tell the parents its gonna die!

[Jem93rocks]

I despise the dad.

[gattaca761]

Most underrated film of all time!! So inspirational and thought provoking on multiple levels.

[vintageart541]

I really love this movie.

[HalfGuru]

sandy balls

[RyanEvH]

I love this movie.

[naruto4ever66]

well its life expectancy, meaning how long they expect you to live, get it?

Life expectancy is only a crude estimate which overlooks a multitude of random factors and influences.

[TheNINI456]

does anyone noe were i culd watch da whole movie???

[FireStormBaller]

So Vincent is his first name, and Anton is his middle name? So Aton is his brother's name which is also his middle name? So anyone want to guess Aton's middle name? I'm guessing it's Vincent. XD

[Dubanx]

great movie. Father is a bit questionable but the actor did a really good job at it.

[acebunny17]

But like they say,theres no gene for the human spirit.

[wh0iskarl]

@acebunny17 not with that attitude

[ypt624]

@acebunny17 lol their probably is.

[dvu90]

@acebunny17

actually there is. Human spirit is determined by brain chemistry. Brain chemistry is somewhat determine by gene. A high spirited person has more "happy" chemical in his/her brain than a depressive person

[acebunny17]

@dvu90 Human spirit its not about the measure of your happiness,but rather about how far are you willing to go,how much you can take and still get up.

[WLordnDRanch12]

@dvu90 I personaly dont believe that.

there are happy people out there who dont have great determination and depressed people with determination.

For example, I went through a rough spell of anxiety and some depression but I was determined to get over it. Guess what, I have.

[ssp1070]

@WLordnDRanch12 ...I have 'bad genes. Mom's bipolar. Dad was schizophrenic. I battled major depression for years w/no drugs. My friends would worry b/c I preferred to stay to myself when dealing w/my spells. I didn't want to bring everyone else down. I now realize how this behavior seemed to others. Still, with the exception of 1 semester where I had to drop to 3 hrs b/c I could not function, I managed to stay on the Dean's List and complete my Master's.

[ssp1070]

@ssp1070...It's not about brain chemistry. It's about WILLPOWER. It's about the size of the fight in the dog. Those committing suicide & 'committing' themselves? They either have or are beginning to give up and it's just sad...but, that's not an option for me. I could NOT fail out. I could NOT afford to wallow...b/c that pit of despair is BOTTOMLESS. I ran on sheer willpower. You can't always wait to 'feel better' before you get up. Sometimes, you just have to 'get up'...regardless.

[ssp1070]

@WLordnDRanch12...forgot to mention that I totally agree with you. *laugh* I don't believe it, either.

[happygamestvfun1]

@acebunny17 Since when did they say that you old delusinal ass wacka. They said there is no gene for fate. good lord your a dumb cuntting troll

[acebunny17]

@happygamestvfun1 OMG,you are so retarded

[happygamestvfun1]

@acebunny17 OMG, i just seam retarted cuz ur delusional

[acebunny17]

@happygamestvfun1 what's your fucking problem?Why did my comment bothered you so much?Did you wanted to write it and you are just mad that I beat you to it?,you mad cuz it got a lot of thumbs up?Pssh,don't blame me,and grow the fuck up

[happygamestvfun1]

@acebunny17 shut up you in-valid peice of crap

[Chameleonizer]

@happygamestvfun1 If you actually had the DVD it would say "There's no gene for the human spirit" on the cover, dumbass.

[happygamestvfun1]

@Chameleonizer accutly no, if you buy crapy chinese illegal pirated version then it would say that, like you have buyed from krapy bootleg market! I got the REAL english version...!! Thus i prove you wrong oh btw im reporting you for pirated video stealing so ha! haha thanks for telling me sucker!

[Chameleonizer]

@happygamestvfun1 Actually it's my Biology teacher's DVD bitch ;)

[happygamestvfun1]

@Chameleonizer then she got it from chian town, what diffrent it makes?

[Chameleonizer]

@happygamestvfun1 First of all he's a guy, second of all you're obviously trolling (and not a great job at it), third you suck at spelling (probably on purpose because you're trolling), and fourth of all even if I had a bootleg copy (which I don't) why would you even give a shit?

[BO20DSIAV]

What the title of this music theme?

I like it so much

Please!

Can somebody tell me the answer?

[himomSLAYER]

I love how all the cars in this movie are old. I watched this in biology and almost fainted when I saw the Boattail Riv at 0:11-0:23. the avanti too.

[trickmastermonkey]

ive seen this movie so many times, i can probably act out the whole script by heart.

the actress holding the baby Vincent @ 0:35, is Maya Rudolph (former SNL cast member)

[xthejordx]

seriously about Maya Rudolph? haha. i'll have to look at the credits sometime.

[trickmastermonkey]

yeah, it's her. just google up 'Gattaca full cast/crew' and you'll see it

[crystalAura]

This makes me want to cry, so beautiful.

[0lfo]

this part made me sad...

[bobomber]

watch the movie and perhaps you will change your mind

[deinse81]

It's a great movie, but it doesn't predict the future.

Just because people would be healthy, it doesn't mean that they'd start embracing the deterministic crap the movie describes.

[HugoFauzi]

we will have to wait to see

[mana2432]

@deinse81 ehh we are on our way there... check out designer babies and genetic manipulation

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

@mana2432

There's a lot of ethical baggage needs attaching to our current scientific research to take us to the world of 'Gattaca'.

That and the legalisation of a whole lot more research.

That...and a whole lot more research.

[boringlyawesum]

not even god is perfect.

[MacraStraba]

If you're born as a superhuman, which you are not likely to be.

[sociopathicregret]

While they'll never actually be able to determine the probability of mental disorders because they have no meaningful connection to genetics, they'll sure as hell try, and probably pretend that they can. Even worse.

[thekkl]

He didn't want Vincent to be named after him because he was a de-gene-erate god child. He reserved Anton for the more properly conceived child.

[AntiDark777]

Its a litle cold to tell the parents how long their child will live seconds after birth

[CatAtomic99]

What was the significance of the father's "Vincent" addition?

[wallrod72]

well the parents intended to name the child anton after the father, but after finding out the child was "insignificant" the father did not feel that the baby was worthy enough to carry his name so he named him Vincent Anton instead

[jackdavenportsbaby11]

He didn't think his own kid was worthy? Man that's messed up XD

[xstrikezerox]

well vincent has outlived his estimated life expectancy

[Aimlessway]

10, 000 beats overdue :)

[ahizimd]

Well it is a lot more than that considering the heart beats 90,000 times a day

[Aimlessway]

I dunno, that's what he said in the movie.

[ahizimd]

I know. but when I watched this in Bio my teacher gave us info on some of the science that was incorrect in the movie. That was just one of them. I just felt like saying that

[FireStormBaller]

Vincent outlived his parents thinking they outlived him.

[KiwiiTOS4]

I hate the dad. "Vincent" Anton my ass. What a pathetic loser who can't accept a child for who he is.

[plastikcow76]

poor vincent =(

[dctPL]

Just think it can be true in not far future

[Drackoe]

Think 5 years.

[Maple7212]

Thankfully this sort of stuff is prevented by biological ethics! So while doctors can ethically remove hereditary diseases, they cannot pick and choose positive ones.

[dctPL]

That's just a matter of time when people start projecting their own children. I'm shure of it. When it becomes real there will be two spicies of man, just like in the movie...

[calebwesman]

hopefully, parents will engineer their kids to be able to spell "sure" and "species"

[dctPL]

Haha...English is not my first language so I have right to make some mistakes using it.

[thegreatestchallenge]

but you r preventing the progress of men in this way, ur idea is ok lets all be lousy so that the lousy ones wouldn't feel so bad, but this is a very negative way of thinking

[sergiobellotas]

Espectacular pelicula. La recomiendo

[boringlyawesum]

sad just sad

[MilkyWay24]

sorry. where was he conceived?

[elymoth]

He was conceived in a Buick Riviera. Not the French kind but the Detroit variety. Detroit is otherwise known as the Motor City.

[fanaruto1]

basically a car from detroit... this is continuation from elymoth

[JohnPaullover]

A defining part of the movie, thanks for uploading.

[franciscovilla86]

This movie is too immature for this society. As 2001 a space odyssey has been too young in 68 as well Gattaca was misunderstood in 97

[bobomber]

I think you meant too mature for society. Indeed too mature, too thoughtful, too emotional, too serious for society. This is one of the most underrated movies ever made.
