Gattaca

Gattaca Film

In the future according to this film, the Gattaca Corp. uses living humans to test out their lastest form of biotechnology. The people in the corporation decides the future of any human with the help of scientific experiments. The people are forced to live the lives resulting from the tests that were done on their genes. The society in the film Gattaca is very corrupt and can be classified as a dystopian society because the people are trapped in a world where the government and their scientific partnerships have absolute control over them. The occupations they have, the types of housing they live in, and much more are dependent on the results of the test. The people do not have any decisions when it comes to their future. In the trailer for this film, the main character's misery grabs his attention. Unlike the other people in their world, the main character trys everything in his power to find a way to escape the government. He feels confined and wants to have freedom and make his own decisions.

In every dystopian society, there is always at least one character that notices what is truly going on around them. The main character takes in all the criticism and shunning in order to change the way in which the socitey runs. He is the one who takes all the blame and sacrifices himself for the good of the world. The protagonist of a dystopian society can be compared to Jesus. He sacrificed himself so everyone in the world can be free of sin. The protagonist in Gattaca goes through so much trouble so the people can be free from science and the government. Then they can live according to the decisions they make.
