On Thursday we watched a movie called Gattaca. It ws based on a theme of DNA and human genetics. The movie itself was very very good. At the start it was very slow paced, and you didnt really know what was happening, but as it gradually got further in the movie the plot came to the surface. There was this guy who was knowen as an 'invalid' and this was because he was born naturally, and from that natural birth they were able to determain what problems he will have in life e.g heart diseas etc and his brother found it hard to except beacuse he was a 'valid' person born in a not normal way. The invalid guy takes on a roll of a valid person, and he becomse him. The 'valid' guy gives the 'invalid' guy blood, urine and also sweat and other bodily fluids, this is so he can take on the identity of the 'valid' guy for a job on a space shuttle. Its a very good film, and i really liked it and it really has put in perspective what DNA and genes can really mean, and what they can create.
Here below are screen shots of the most defining moments in the movie.
