Gattaca (7/8) Movie CLIP - It is Possible (1997) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Irene (Uma Thurman) learns the truth about Vincent's (Ethan Hawke) identity.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
New Zealand screenwriter Andrew Niccol (The Truman Show) made his feature directorial debut with this science fiction drama, set in a future when one's life is determined by genetic engineering rather than education or experience. The wealthy can choose the genetic makeup of their descendants. People are designed to fit into whatever role is decided before birth. But what happens when someone desires another way of life? Citizens in this impersonal future-world are fashioned as perfect specimens, so those in the natural-born minority are viewed as inferior to the pre-planned perfect specimens (aka "Valids") who dominate. One of the natural-borns (aka "In-Valids"), Vincent Freeman (Ethan Hawke), has several defects (poor vision, emotional problems, and short 30-year life expectancy), but he also develops a different outlook on his pre-ordained fate. He yearns to break free from society's constraints, and he dreams of a journey into space as a Gattaca Corp. navigator. To accomplish his goal, he enlists the aid of DNA broker German (Tony Shalhoub) and makes contact with Jerome Morrow (Jude Law), who was paralyzed in an accident and is willing to sell his superior genetic materials. Vincent assumes Jerome's identity and is scheduled for a flying mission. However, a week before his flight, a Gattaca mission director is murdered, and all members of the program are the suspects. Meanwhile, he develops a romantic interest in a beautiful Valid, Irene (Uma Thurman), prevented from going into space because of her heart defect. Tracked by a relentless investigator who is methodically jigsawing all the pieces together, Jerome finds his aspirations dissolving into stardust.

HIT US UP:

[mrworf]

One of the best movies ever made in the history of film making. It's ageless, and touches the human soul like no other film can

[e.producer]

The aesthetic/look of this film is so beautiful. I love that and the music score. They just don’t make beautiful films like this anymore

[Robin-cwzu]

“They have got you looking so hard, for any *flaw, * that after a while, that is all you see.”

This hits the Hardest because it is so true.

[barbarafonseca]

damn, jude law and ethan hawk in the old days were studs!!! omg

[petercoderch]

She first fell in love with him because she thought he was genetically superior to herself; she fell in love with him the second time because of his superior strength of character.

[trinitylivingston]

Love how they portrayed the characters in more of a 50s fashion.

[TRONwuzhere]

This scene is one of my favorites from one of my most favorite movies of all time.
"For whatever it's worth, I'm here to tell you that it is possible. It IS possible." Love it.

[Krnmustang]

Hahaha "I could always walk...I've been faking it" 

[nihilistarchitect]

It is a cult film and it will soon be regarded as a classic. It will not be forgotten. :)

[mrjinkorea]

"They've got you looking so hard for any flaws that after awhile, that's ALL you see (in a person)". What a beautiful understated line... and sadly it's so true for many people nowadays. Instead of trying to see the good in people, we only accentuate their weaknessess or flaws. It has turns society into a cold unwelcoming place.

[nathandrake]

Eugene --> Eugenetics. Seems the writers were pretty clever with that also.

[moomoo]

GATTACA
G = Guanine
A = Adanine
T = Thymine
C = Cytosine
aka the four chemical bases of DNA.

[DwightKoh]

Does anyone else also notice how 'Gattaca' pays homage to 50's sci-fi movies AND noir?

[tomschmitz]

GOD, how i love the music for this film... so beautiful and moving and melancholy and yet futuristic too.. a new age, a new dawn hope music..

[tomschmitz]

GOD how i love the musical score of this movie! brilliantly moving..

[DLNOT]

Without this movie being made, we would never have Robin from Stranger Things S3

[ashepherdcomedy]

I love this movie. They filmed it as my school Cal Poly Pomona. Funny enough, this scene was the building where I took my genetics class.

[almighty]

One of the greatest movies ever made sadly it’s so underrated and honestly has inspired me to study and possibly make a career in genetics.

[ModernDayGunSlinger]

It’s very interesting that of all the revelations Irene discovered the first and only thing she makes issue with is the fact that Vincent was a naturally born child. Crazy. Incredible.

[mikebasil]

Gattaca is one of the five best dystopian movies of the 20th century along with THX 1138, A Clockwork Orange, Soylent Green and Blade Runner.
