Gattaca - Summary and Opinion

In GT1 we had just finished watching the movie GATTACA.  This movie was about how the world would be different when it was just based off your genetic code.  Your genetic code tells you whether you will succeed or fail, when you die, your special skills, everything about you.  During the movie, a guy named Vincent Freeman, tries to pursue his dream of one day riding on a spaceship and going out on space.  However, the only thing that stops him is his genetic code, which says that he cannot do anything that impressive and will die at a young age.  His father was never proud to have him as a son, but he loved Vincent's brother, Antoine.  Antoine, was destined for greatness, he would be the perfect son.  But, one day the two brother's had a race to see who can swim the farthest, and Vincent always won.  This lead to the realization of Vincent, that maybe "genetic code" is not how society should base our abilities on. 
Vincent soon finds the perfect specimen who will allow him to basically, take his life.  That person was, Jerome Morrow, who has a very high IQ, but got into a car accident which made him reside in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.  Vincent takes the place of Jerome, as a top position in Gattaca, a very prestige spaceport.  But, just as he arrives a murder case happens, and the main suspect is Vincent Freeman.  Now, Vincent has no choice, but to be Jerome, and he succeeds in this by exchanging: urine, blood, hair, and any other genetically coded part of Jerome.  While working at Gattaca, Vincent "Jerome", falls in love with a co-worker, Irene, who just like Vincent was told she could not accomplish her dreams, because her genetic code says she can't. By the end, Vincent succeeds and goes up into space, leaving his life and the life of Jerome Morrow behind him.  But, in a way he's just beginning a new life in the great beyond.

In my opinion, I wouldn't watch this movie for my own enjoyment.  However, it was pretty interesting seeing how much life would change, if the world was based on our genetic codes.  Also, I think it put the scenario, of the genetically coded world, in a bit of a too extreme way.  Some parts may have been a bit gruesome.  But, in the end I liked the way it all came together, and i really enjoyed watching the love story of Irene and Vincent.
