Gattaca quiz


Hi B1A! Next week is going to be "Gattaca week": On Tuesday 24 we´ll do a quiz about the film. On Wednesday 25 Vanessa will do a presentation about the topic and on Friday 27 we´ll do the exam (2 points at stake!).

These are some of the questions I´ll make in the Tuesday´s quiz (the other questions are secret, but they all are about the plot):

-Would you like to live in a world like the one the film shows? Why/why not?
-What is Vincent´s key to success?
-Why hasn´t Vincent´s brother reached as far as Vincent having better genes?
-Why does Jerome commit suicide at the end of the film?
-Why does Vincent leave hair at his desk every day? Whose hair is that?
-What is special about the pianist in the film?
-What does Jerome have round his neck when he dies? Why?
-What is a "borrowed ladder"?
-What is a "God-child"?

-What do we discover about the doctor at the end of the film?
-Who murdered the man in Gattaca? Why did he do it?
-Watch the alternative ending of the film HERE and explain it.
-Which moment makes Vincent think he can achieve anything if he fights for it?
-Who is a "Valid"? and an "In-Valid"?
-What is the difference between Vincent and his brother Anton?
-Why was Vincent operated on his legs?
-Search for this information in the internet: Who is the director of this film? Say two other films he has directed. When was this film released?

We´ll do the quiz in groups, the two groups which get the most points will get extra marks.
