***The eugenics-obsessed future in 40s/50s noir***Several decades in the future liberal eugenics is normal and discrimination is practiced to distinguish “valids” from “in-valids,” the latter conceived by natural means and therefore more susceptible to genetic defects. Vincent (Ethan Hawke) is an in-valid who assumes the identity of a disabled valid (Jude Law) in order to fulfill his dream of space travel. Uma Thurman and Gore Vidal are also on hand.
“Gattaca” (1997) is a sci-fi drama “tech noir,” which combines futuristic science-fiction with 40s/50s noir.
It’s not just the suits & hats, the cars look like 50s/60s coupes, but whine because they’re electric. It’s similar in this respect to “Dark City” (1998), but more dramatic. Imagine if “Dick Tracy” (1990) was a somber space-age sci-fi and you’d have a pretty good idea.The film flopped at the box office while critics generally praised it. It plays better if you have an interest in eugenics and the philosophies thereof. For me, it’s decent, but too low-key. I prefer “Dark City” if I’m going to watch a film of this sort.
The movie runs 1 hour, 46 minutes, and was shot in Southern Cal: Marin County Civic Center in San Rafael; Otis College of Art and Design; CLA Building on the campus of California State Polytechnic University, Pomona; the spillway of the Sepulveda Dam; outside The Forum in Inglewood; and Kramer Junction Solar Electric Generating Station.
GRADE: B-
Simply put, Gattaca is one of the greatest movies ever made. Some might think that’s going too far but it truly is a masterpiece. Everything from the casting, set design, cinematography, writing and the Universe in which the story takes place. It is not only a great source of entertainment but an inspiring work of art.By far the most poetic movie I have had the pleasure of watching. Every line is elegiac and truly beautiful. It’s the type of movie that keeps you thinking days after the credits have rolled. Not because it is fast-paced, intense or has a crazy twist ending but for its tranquil philosophical ideas. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a jaw-dropping movie night. It should be on every cinephile’s list of must-watch.
Does more than stand the test of time
22 years after release and this is my first viewing, but surely not my last. Gattaca is an iconic classic. One of the best sci-fi movies ever made. Too many futuristic movies fall prey to quickly dated special effects, obsolete technology or such dramatic changes in the social fabric that they are almost immediately out of touch with the course of history. Gattaca still stands tall and the social commentary is as relevant today as it was 22 years ago. Those cars tho…
One of the finest movies of the decade.
Gattaca is a brilliant under-rated piece of cinema that the not-too-distant future will, in retrospect, see it as one of the more outstanding movies of the nineties. It is prolific, stylish, thought-provoking, and one of the few recent science fiction movies that totally foregoes special effects and does it well.There is nothing about Gattaca that I didn’t like. It is a subtle piece of art that reminds of the writing of Ray Bradbury. Technology (the core element of science fiction) is only the backdrop for the story of a man who goes against all odds, including his brother, and overcomes those odds.
Make sure you watch it more than twice. There are many subtle details that you’ll miss if you don’t (ie, Gattaca’s doctor asks, “Have I ever told you about my son?” not even five minutes into the movie, and childhood Vincent falls down holding a toy rocket…) and it’s these small details that create a tapestry of cinematic artistry.
The soundtrack is phenomenal. The sets are noir and stylistic, and (thankfully) instead of trying to present a realistic physical future Niccol instead vies for the FEELING of the future: constrained, restricted, and patterned.
Watch it before it’s cool to have watched it.
