ReplyDeleteYes, I still find Gattaca inspiring, in a very deep way. I think it stands the test of time; a great nineties-era sci-fi-er.

I always enjoyed Gattaca. Great line. It's interesting that political ideology or national identity or pride, for better or worse or what have you seems to have an impact globally on perceptions. I'm writing this rather quickly and may not be articulating my thought clearly.

ReplyDeleteCouldn't have said it better! :)
