Gattaca

Remember next Tuesday May 17 we´ll do the quiz about the film. These are some of the questions I´ll make (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"?
-According to the trailer of the film, which you can watch HERE (go to "CLIPS" and then "TRAILER"), how many cells do we shed every day?
-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 (I´ll organize them), the two groups which get the most points will get extra marks.

Remember also that on Thursday May 19 we´ll do the exam (I´ll play some extracts of the film and you´ll have to comment on them, like we did with Blade Runner).
