I recommend this movie to everyone, I think it really talks about what makes us human. Good performances, good score and the sci-fi world of the movie feels too real and not as far as it seems to our reality. It was really underappreciated when it came out, so if you haven’t seen it now is the time to make you a favor!

High style, terrifying premise, subtle performances, dryer than a vodka martini. I’d almost dare to say it’s required viewing.
And the soundtrack has danced around in my head for decades
One of the best of Michael Nyman’s scores
NASA called GATACA the most plausible sci-fi movie of all time.
Wow. Definitely time for a rewatch.
As I head back home from the holidays, this film was mentioned no less than a dozen times this weekend.
Gattaca is what my brother-in-law and I tell each other whenever we’re eating holiday food. Can’t eat another bite? Gattaca!
It means we save nothing for the return.
It started when we were hiking the Appalachian trail together and was adapted for a variety of other situations when you need to push yourself a little harder.
Thanks for sharing this, I find it so heartwarming! Seems like you have a good relationship with your brother-in-law.
Interesting! I love Jason Mantzoukas, but haven’t seen this. I wonder if he was shouting it for similar reasons.
It’s from The League, but I think it’s a reference to “Attica” from Dog Day Afternoon.
Oh, so he’s just mixing references because he’s a goofy character. Sad. Because I think it could actually work.

One of my all the me favourite movies, everything is perfect.
Splendid movie and hold up really well. Recently rewatched with my teenage girls who gave it a thumbs up.
I still use “we’re closer to the other side now” in conversation pretty regularly. I don’t know if people get the reference but that scene lives rent free in my head.
This came out just as I was finishing high school. It was (and still is) one of my favorite movies. Back then, I thought of myself most like Vincent. However, over the years, I’ve come to realize I have much more in common with Jerome, at least psychologically. Probably more in common with Ernest Borgnine’s character physically.
I mean, underappreciated at the box office, sure. But I studied it in high school in 2003, as did a lot of people in my year level in my state as it was part of a very select number of texts we could study for our English units in yr12 that year.
The wind got it.
I appreciated it when it came out. I loved the plausibility of such a future, and the condemnation of it by the movie. I recommended it to everyone who would listen.
