Gattaca Review

by James Brundage

(January 15th, 1999)

Gattaca is a character drama in the guise of a thriller, the same way that The Truman Show was a drama in the guise of a comedy. Andrew Niccol works his beautiful charms with both of them. In Gattaca, he offers us a stunning vision of the not-so-distant future, a time where genetic engineering is so commonplace that it is common practice. The world, of course, has the drawback that anyone who was not genetically engineered is part of a new class of society, called an invalid.

Vincent Freeman was born this way. He chooses, however, not to remain an invalid but to become what is known as a de-generate, someone who uses other people’s blood, urine, hair etc. to fake a genetic code superior to their own. His dream was to end up in space and being this particularly loathed thing is the only way he is able to do it. Lending his dream to the real Gerome Morrow, a suicidal cripple, the two band together to get him into space. Everything is going well, he is set to leave in a week. Then the mission director is murdered.

This occurs, in my opinion, only to keep less intelligent viewers interested in the story, which contains enough pathos to warrant me watching it if it didn’t involve a murder at all. As Vincent tries to keep his secret, he is falling in love with Irene Cassini, another worker at Gattaca, the story’s equivalent of Cape Canaveral. The panic caused by the moment causes each person involved to examine themselves, society, and the state of the world.

The sad thing about Gattaca is that so many people will hate this movie because of its utterly slow pace. It does not keep the interest of someone not intrigued by people, which encompasses most every viewer today. So that takes out studio fans, and its Star Trek target audience.

Quem era denominado pelo termo invalid no contexto da história do filme? O que significava ser um de-generate, no mesmo contexto?

RESPOSTA:

- INVALID ➜ aqueles não forem geneticamente modificados. 

- IDEIA CONTEXTUAL: O filme (Gattaca) nos oferece uma visão formidável do futuro não tão distante, uma época em que a engenharia genética é tão trivial que se torna uma prática comum. Neste mundo, entretanto, aqueles não forem geneticamente modificado tem a desvantagem de fazerem parte de uma nova classe da sociedade, chamada de inválida.

- "de-generate" ➜ alguém que usa sangue, urina, cabelo etc. de outras pessoas para falsificar um código genético superior ao seu próprio.

- IDEIA CONTEXTUAL: Vincent Freeman nasceu "inválido", entretanto, escolhe não ser rotulado como "inválido", ou seja, torna-se o que é conhecido como "degenerado", alguém que usa sangue, urina, cabelo etc. de outras pessoas para falsificar um código genético superior ao seu próprio.

Segundo a crítica, por que o diretor da missão espacial foi assassinado? Havia realmente necessidade de esse fato ocorrer?

RESPOSTA:

- Ele foi assassinado apenas para manter os espectadores menos inteligentes interessados na história.

- Não, pois o filme contém APELO(compaixão, pena) o suficiente para garantir assistindo mesmo se não envolvesse nenhum assassinato.

Personal Marketing: Selling yourself

Before you begin a job search campaign you must have a personal marketing strategy. A personal marketing strategy provides you with a game plan for your job search campaign.

You should look at the job search as a marketing campaign, with you, the job seeker, as the product. Every product, even the best ones, won’t succeed without a strong marketing strategy. This begins with a comprehensive, yet flexible plan. First you must know to whom you are marketing. You must identify the types of employers who would be looking for an employee with your qualifications. Are they all within a certain industry? Are there many industries that hire employees with your background?

You already know that personal marketing skills are important to your career and perhaps to find a better job, but the only problem is that the art of self marketing is difficult for a lot of people.

Selling yourself well doesn’t mean talking just about yourself or arrogantly telling others how great you are. By selling yourself, in an interview or an informal networking meeting, I mean thinking first about the employer’s needs and expectations and figuring out how you can create value for their organization. What does the potential employer really need from a new employee? What specific technical skills, workplace competencies and personal qualities is the employer looking for? Now if you can ask those questions dispassionately, you should be able to identify your own strengths that match and gently weave them into every conversation you have in the world of good jobs and prospective careers.
