Utopian Dream
Gattaca, the name of the movie is composed of the letters A C G T. These are the four letters comprising all DNA sequences. The clue is in the name.
Gattaca tells the story of a utopian future where all desirable characteristics are selected much as you would a new kitchen or a new car. Intelligent, yes. Athletic, yes. Emotional equanimity yes. Blue eyes, yes. Fair hair, yes. Neurosis, no. Definitely no. And so defects are eliminated pre-conception.
Kill & Succeed
I love this movie. It has to be one of my all time favourites. Its on TCM and other TV channels all the time through re-runs and I can sit through it time and again.
Jack Lemmon takes the lead male role as Stanley Ford the confirmed batchelor with support from Terry Thomas playing the iconic English Butler. Virna Lisi plays his innocent non-english speaking wife.
Mis-Representation?
I go to Amazon.co.uk website to check out some low cost items I bought for the kitchen and I find a link/ad for chinese tea.
This is no ordinary tea. This tea has other properties hidden from the casual user. This tea melts fat. Though up to now, we only believe oxy-acetaline guns and high pressure gas torches did that, but no. This magical item has undocumented properties, which up to now, the scientific community has missed.
