I really enjoyed watching the gattica movie in class so far. Even though the film was science fiction i think it was crazy people where discriminated by genetic makeup. I think we can learn alot from Gattica and people should be treated based on who they are, and not from race or ethinic backround. This movie reminded me from the part in Martin Luther Kings I Had A Dream speech where he says kids should be judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin. Even though Vincent had all the ability as a genetically modified human he was discriminated against.
I agree with trevor the movie gattica was actually good. I normally don't science fiction movies, but I really enjoyed this one.It was clear the similarities between the movie and the holocaust. I think that I am really starting to open up in class. If you haven't seen the movie Defiance then you are missing a really great WW2 movie.
