GATTACA



I watched this film after the recommendation to do so in my last tutorial. As well as having this as a key reference point for my research I thought it was a brilliant film. Watching it was like experiencing the reality of my project as Gattaca is about a world of a Genetically modified human race, where they are wiping out natural conception 'god child's' as they carry to many imperfections. Gattaca is focusing on genetic engineering gone very wrong by portraying it through the life of a genetically imperfect 'god child' who born into a world where his life would be immediately limited before he tries because he is not a genetically engineered baby.
However my project is going to be focusing on the positive side of being able to genetically engineer your children, by focusing on the new race of the genetically engineered rather than what would be the remainder of a race of naturaly conceived children.
