The ramifications of unrestrained genetic engineering are even if we discount the Jurassic Park concept nevertheless very frightening Most prophetic of all the movies have seen on this topic is writer director Andrew Niccol's 1997 masterpiece Gattaca Aside from being the first i movie w ithout a firearm that I've seen in a long time (maybe ever) Gattaca is a essay on mankind's ing obsession with perfection The movie tickles our intellects with the prospect of genetic engineering gone awry In the children arc not conceived they arc engineered at the genetics clinic Parents routinely screen out all possibility of disease malformity and imperfection before fertilization They may also determine gender eye and hair color height and other factors that until "the future" had been left to fate chance or God Naturally this film deals not with the wonders of such technology but with the terrors and drawbacks to it Ethan Hawke plays a young man conceived in the back scat of a car (a “faith child") w ho has been relegated to a lesser standing in society (an valid" is the official term) due to his perceived genetic imperfections However his desire to travel in space propels him to impersonate a "valid" by using blood urine and hair samples from a “valid" who was paralyzed in a car accident By assuming the new identity he infiltrates “Gattaca" which is apparently the Della Airlines of the future in order to become a space nav igator He exceeds all expectations and rises quickly Along the way he meets and falls in love with Uma Thurman another valid working at Gattaca The suspense in the movie centers around the investigation of the murder of a Gattaca official When a hair from Hawke's "invalid" head is found at the murder scene his plans become jeopardized and the chase is on Hawke and Thurman are drawn deeper into the recesses of a society gone mad with the drive for perfection And in doing so they challenge the very basis of this quest This movie is slick and easy to watch he sound track could have used some work but other than that was very pleased The viewer is drawn into this future with ease and bclicvability It is not so as to be cartoonish nor does it spiral too far down the paranoid trap that it could have Even some of the episodes of the arc more difficult to swallow than Gattaca Thurman and Hawke give solid performances Both are young and attractive and do folk well as More importantly this movie shows a very realistic and plausible tomorrow A tomorrow that hopefully none of us wants Physical perfection and beauty are one thing But for all of our science and all of our wondrous technology Gattuc'a so clearly tells us "There is no gene for the human spirit" Whoever is happy will make othors happy too and faith will never perish in misery Ho who has courage — Anne Frank 0 Tomatoes and Flowers S99 6 pk Flowers or Vegetables $99 up to $199 Flat - small - 72 plants - $1298 plants $1498 uptojumbo-6- 4 Tomatoes 99 - 6 pack and up Fruit T rees Bushes Trees Shrubs Potting Soil Fertilizer Decorative Bark All your yard and garden needs Specials - Grocery Specials lb fry er leg qtrs (10 lb bag) $29 Fresh Watermelon $25 lb Yoplait yogurt $55 ea 12 pk - 3 for $800 Pepsi - All Flavors SHADY'S Back - Free Taste Sample - Sat Chicken Pioneer Market 10 South Main - Fillmore |
