Can you imagine being one of the genetically altered people who actually gets obese/develops diabetes or coronary disease due to lifestyle? Scientists just looking at you like 'bro, we tried, we can only do so much'
they deleted any potential diseases, any bad traits, "baldness" so that "due to lifestyle" is also avoided because it's considered a bad trait to overeat.
@@briarrose6442 naw, they just socially engineer that bit. if you remove genetic pre-disposition and add enough social pressure (probably through assuming fat people are faith births even if they arent) you'd pretty much remove the standard style over consumption problems entierly. Not sure how EDs would work though.
The thing I loved about this film was the theme that people can overcome their physical limitations through strength of will. Vincent's life was a constant struggle, he always had to give it his all. When he was on the treadmill and his body was failing, he could push through and give the appearance it was easy. It was the strength of his willpower that allowed him to beat Anton while swimming. Also, because Anton was never pushed to his physical limits, he panicked when he became fatigued from swimming too far having never faced the physical adversity Vincent had been dealing with his whole life.
Yes, real strength is in the character. Also, I get it with all the physcal stuff, but intelligence? I'm pretty sure you can have good genes and grow up dumb as log. A lot of children of famous scientists, politicians, etc grew up stupid. And vice versa, you can always study hard and become 1) somewhat "smarter" (IQ) 2) a good specialist in some field. So, not hiring people for positions where intelligence, skills and knowledge are demanded solely because of their genes is... retarded ^^ - Unless we are speaking of hardcore genetic diseases or some trauma intelligence is what you create during childhood, when teaching kids to think.
@@ImperativeGames I think it is a combination of your genes and your environment. Just like a persons height your born with a maximum predetermined height limit but your environment determines how tall within the limit you reach. People in China used to be shorter but with an improved economy peoples average height also rose.
@@ImperativeGames I'd like to point out that the genes human receive from their parents are seemingly random, so its possible that there was a smart gene that didn't get passed down, or a bad gene like lack of focus could have been inherited from the grandparents
@@ImperativeGames intelligence is EXTREMELY genetic in nature. Your intelligence has as much to do with your genes as your hair color. It doesn't mean you will exactly inherit the hair color of your parents. But it does increase the likelihood exponentially. And intelligence cannot be increased but knowledge and skills can be. But your raw intelligence essentially limits the extent to which you can increase your knowledge. Like you can increase your speed if your run regularly, but you'll never be Usain bolt if you weren't born with those genes.
Funny thing is, as a black person, I always thought that baldness suited us more than others. At the very least we choose to shave it all because it actually looks good on us
My favorite movie. Saw it in biology class like a lot of other people in the comments. Everyone in class wasn’t paying attention but it stuck with me ever since. It’s a simple story, yet it still strikes a chord within me. The ending always brings a tear to my eye. A truly wonderful movie.
I watched it in my biology class as well! I saw this channel and was hoping they had the movie here because all i remembered was the murder and the eyelash scene. Pretty good movie.
I just want to say you didn’t include a key part of the last beach scene with Vincent and his brother Anton. Vincent did get this far because of his determination and perseverance but you didn’t include the amazing quote by Vincent(I don’t remember so this’ll be incorrect), “I never saved enough for the journey back”
@@hambone4984 We can agree to disagree. I personally think without including that line it only seems as if Vincent never gave up. But if the uploader included that line, then the viewers see it in a more gloomy way, Vincent only having gotten to this point because he never cared about making it back home, him being okay with his death as long as he achieves his goal. If he mentioned that quote during their last beach scene with both brothers, the viewers would have seen it as “Vincent is willing to die if it means he succeeds, he doesn’t care about saving enough energy to get back to the beach, he only wants to keep going in hopes of reaching the other side. He was not limited by his will to live as others were, because he didn’t care if completing his goal would kill him. TL;DR: Without quote, Vincent’s story is happy. With quote, Vincent’s story is gloomy as he is not limited by his will to live like others were, he doesn’t care if completing his goal kills him. My apologies for the long response, I don’t have time to review it and I just wanted to get this out. Have a great day!
@@marianred4195 You're right in what you said, I just wanted to point out that @Hammster Wonder Cheeks meant that your paraphrasing Vincent's quote from the movie was damn near spot on to what he says to his brother about the swim back. Great comment nevertheless, I enjoyed the hell out of reading your take.
"I never saved anything for the swim back" The movie being gloomy was part of what made it a masterpiece, even Jerome killing himself and the futuristic yet minimalistic design of buildings
Our ancestors ran behind their pray until exhaustion. We aren’t the fastest animals but the most resistant, best to regulate our body temperature & run long distances. We don’t know if those modifications had side effects. Some of the movie that were modified had illness & between others that were made supposedly to prevent them. There was even books & a movies about it, were the modified humans & their descendants came with side effects or defects & the purest humans were better & many lived above. I don’t remember the name but i think it was “Divergent” or something.

Love how this society treats valids like there ammune from disease when all it takes it being out in the sun for a bit to long to get skin cancer or just one tick bite left for to long to get stuck with a lige long disease.
Artistic exaggeration, hyperbola. Even with greatest genes you can get sick, ofc. Although the possibility of cancer is also gene dependant. But yes, you can't guarantee anything, unless you can make humans with the health/regeneration of Wolverine.
Oh I remember this My science teacher showed us this to tell us how genetic modification can change the world but it could also change society Then he made us make a report how the world would change if we ever did change the life of people
It literally existed when colonization started. Even when monarchy was established. When there is a group of people who are classified as “superior”, everyone not included in the group will be humiliated and given less opportunities due to their “setbacks”.

"The tree that never had fight, for sun and sky air and light but stood out in the open plain And always got its share of rain, Never became a forest king But lived and died a scrubby thing, the man who never had to toil, To gain and farm his patch of soil, of sun and sky and light and air, Never became a manly man but lived and died as he began."
@@nimmuraj i guess they are using a quote to refer to the genetically edited humans vs the original. If you take out the biological struggles then the human wont really be all that great since they were already made to be 'great' and won't see it necessary to become any greater. Meanwhile, people who have their struggles try to achieve greater than what their negative genes might try to inhibit them with. Like how people who are dying from an illness would try their best to leave a memorable mark to their short life, while one without might find it less of a daunting task that they won't need to immediately work on. I think that's what they were getting at anyways.

There are a few really great scenes from this movie. When Jerome has to crawl up the stairs, when you find out Anton is the detective, when Vincent and Jerome swim against each other for the last time, and when the Doctor reveals that he's known Vincent is faking all along and changes the test results. Just such a fantastic movie.
@@pangi5460 which god tho the abrahamic gods which say iff you dont chose right the rest are going to hell, the hindu gods, the pagan gods, for rel religion is like playin a lottery better hope you chose the right one
The thing that got me with this movie was when the doctor said to the doctor that his second son was still part of him. The whole gene manipulation was them removing the father's genes and replacing them with a superior subject. They are eccentrically killing off the weaker part of the species.
That's mentally staying in the past. The very next step after what this movie was about is editing the genes of adults. If you can change your genes several times during your life, getting rid of cancer predisposition for example - what "son is part of him" logic can do?
This summary is wrong. They don't engineer babies or alter genes in this movie. They fertilize a bunch of zygotes in vitro and then screen them for undesirable traits leaving only the best. The doctor flat out states that he "went ahead and screening out" the traits he listed. The doctor later says "Keep in mind this child is still you; simply the best of you". This movie is about controlled selection instead of leaving it up to chance; not genetic engineering.
I, as many here, watched it in biology class and I'll always remember a classmate asking "how did he get past the urine tests?", nobody answered, but I was so invested in the movie that I remembered the doctor complimenting Vincent's penis in the beginning and I figured it was because he was wearing a prothesis to hide the tube. Kinda regret not saying anything back then because I was too shy.
Holy cow, another one?! You just keep cranking them out! I appreciate the effort, when I'm not watching them I stream these for background noise. Awesome when you have insomnia! 👍
I love the amount of bros in this movie, i wish i'd watched this one for real. Jerome pulling himself up the stair for vincent (and himself to some degree) was some real g shit no cap
This movie always makes me cry at the end. Jerome ended up being my favorite character. 😢 I think the scene where Arkins character confronts Anton that he was the brother of Vincent but doesn't report him was deleted, great scene. Iris, Lamar and Eugene and the Director are also my favorite characters.
this is some great character writting, the character literally undergoes no development himself, he already has the determination and the goal by the time the movie starts
I think there's something interesting that can be learned from Anton and Vincent. A hardworking individual with ordinary abilities can and will surpass a complacent individual with extraordinary abilities.
If you're interested in movies you haven't watched yet but you don't have or want to spend the time watching it in full length then this channel is perfect for you
I saw this movie in high school biology, and unfortunately forgot the name of it. I always wanted to rewatch it with my husband, because we both have the same taste in movies, and enjoy watching them together. We probably watch 2-3 movies a week. Thank you for uploading this. Now, my husband and I can watch a nostalgic movie of mine.
Prediction is only a possibility, it depends upon the bearer of that possibility either to fulfill it or exceed the possibility to an even greater extent.
I don’t know why I like these videos so much. The guys voice sounds like a computer and it’s just a narrator ruining movies I haven’t seen yet. But for some reason, I love it. And some how at the end of the video it feels like I’ve seen the movie. Lol
So like half the movie is them trying to find the invalid and not doing actual detective work like “oh there is an invalid here he must be the guy behind it, let’s not do any murder weapon finding or find motive lets find some guy who might not even be involved”
This is an emotional and tought provoking movie considering our vulnerable humanity on so many levels. Btw Vincent tells his brother that he never kept his stamina for the return when they do their swim racing, yet has enough to bring both to shore giving the msg that determination in extra ordinary situations has always been the winning trait in human nature rather than what we like to calculate and/or predict.
Has anyone actually watched this movie? They don't edit the genes of the children. They fertilize a bunch of eggs in vitro and then select the best from those options via genetic screening before implantation. The doctor didn't "remove" any conditions. He "screened" them out and left four options that didn't have them; two male and two female zygotes. The quote from the doctor is "Keep in mind this child is still you; simply the best of you".
One of my biology teachers had us watch this movie as part of the curriculum on genetics. It solitified my love for science and genetic study ever since
Before today all I remembered about this movie was some guy was trying to go to space but had to pretend to be someone else because of a heart condition; that and a scene where he was exercising and because of his irregular heart beat he had to somehow mask it with another person's heart beat.
fun fact: the name gattaca comes from the first letter of the names of the nitrogenous bases of DNA: Adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. Have a great day!
Everytime I watch a recap of a movie I've seen, I realize you actually capture everything from the movies and the full feel of them. I don't need to watch movies anymore 😂
Notice the janitor. Ernest Borgnine. At one time he had, at the same time, 3 of the most popular shows on TV.. He's slowed down but he loves working and can often be seen in bit parts. Hats off!
Please please, watch this movie, the recap does not do this underrated film justice. The movie never got the recognition it deserved. Its not about the movie never getting the popularity or how it got overshadowed at the box office. This is about the themes and message in the film to inspire people like this movie did for me. There is no gene for the human spirit.
I love this film... One of the questions asked by his brother is how he was able to keep swimming when he finally gave in and Vincent said he never planned for the journey back (*loosely quoted can't remember actual quote)
I saw this movie when I was just 9yrs old - I could relate to not being the superior child - it’s disheartening to not be considered good enough coz of your background or ethnicity - how much really can your DNA decide for you.
I haven't watched, although I have watched this video (which summarizes it). I love it. Like bro, the movie plays out pretty realistically and I really enjoy the concept. There's a lot of movies with good concept but fail incredibly hard. Like ones involving robots taking over the world or zombie movies nowadays. They all feel so cliche and are overall poorly executed, but this one is amazing.
I watched this movie recap like a year ago, and last week, my biology teacher announced we were going to be watching it in class as part of our genetics unit. Life is good
Hello Story Recapped! I wanted to say that I recently found this channel and it is great! I have been binging it for a few days now. I have watched a couple of movies due to these recaps. Thanks for keeping me entertained! Keep up the good work! 👍

You probably got it wrong. The doctor meant they pick out his healthiest sperm for conception and remove genes related to diseases.
That's mentally staying in the past.
The very next step after what this movie was about is editing the genes of adults. If you can change your genes several times during your life, getting rid of cancer predisposition for example - what "son is part of him" logic can do?
Was it that or was it that they edit the gene I think they edit it and not take someone elses
This summary is wrong. They don't engineer babies or alter genes in this movie. They fertilize a bunch of zygotes in vitro and then screen them for undesirable traits leaving only the best. The doctor flat out states that he "went ahead and screening out" the traits he listed. The doctor later says "Keep in mind this child is still you; simply the best of you". This movie is about controlled selection instead of leaving it up to chance; not genetic engineering.
this movie is literally criticising eugenics
I, as many here, watched it in biology class and I'll always remember a classmate asking "how did he get past the urine tests?", nobody answered, but I was so invested in the movie that I remembered the doctor complimenting Vincent's penis in the beginning and I figured it was because he was wearing a prothesis to hide the tube.
Kinda regret not saying anything back then because I was too shy.
Regret not pointing out the dude got massive donger. Well that's a first
its a beautiful story,
too bad the real jerome done a suicide..
his life was fulfilled bc of Vincent 😢😢
@@ves6170 yea, and the way he died.. give me nightmare..
me developing a crush for jerome ; 💩..
@adi's gf nah he was probably in love with vincent

@@jeffsterc1657 I see but don't worry I don't really care.
Thank you so much for your movie summary it makes this lock down less depressing.
you'l be alright bud, it gets better.
I remember we watched this movie during Bioscience class, that was years ago and it's still great.
Never doubt yourself despite others thinking otherwise- moral of the story imo
+ "Work hard to achieve your dreams".
@6:50 Irene I believe, is actually looking for his DNA to check compatability for a romantic relationship not because she is suspicious of him
They also don't genetically alter or engineer the babies. They screen the zygotes and pick the best ones. This summary sucks.
watched this with my science class to show the future of genetics
If my future descendants obsess over testing eyelashes, dead skin and urine all day that they could make a whole movie im disowning them.
Holy cow, another one?! You just keep cranking them out! I appreciate the effort, when I'm not watching them I stream these for background noise. Awesome when you have insomnia! 👍
I love the amount of bros in this movie, i wish i'd watched this one for real. Jerome pulling himself up the stair for vincent (and himself to some degree) was some real g shit no cap
So many themes in this one beautiful gem of a film!
This movie always makes me cry at the end. Jerome ended up being my favorite character. 😢 I think the scene where Arkins character confronts Anton that he was the brother of Vincent but doesn't report him was deleted, great scene. Iris, Lamar and Eugene and the Director are also my favorite characters.
‘I never saved anything for the swim back.’ That line always stuck with me, even 20 years later I was sad you didn’t just show it ngl.
this is some great character writting, the character literally undergoes no development himself, he already has the determination and the goal by the time the movie starts
Mans uploading so much!
I like it but don’t burn yourself out!
I think there's something interesting that can be learned from Anton and Vincent. A hardworking individual with ordinary abilities can and will surpass a complacent individual with extraordinary abilities.
Good thing some are complacent though or else it'll be much worse for us normies

In 6:54, I believe that Irene is not suspicius of Vincent but hesitant of asking him out since she has also a congenital disease.
If you're interested in movies you haven't watched yet but you don't have or want to spend the time watching it in full length then this channel is perfect for you
Yes👍
never knew this is a staple for a lot of biology classes out there
It's incredible the amount of parallels the movie has in it's story. I'm impressed.
9:55 when the valid is sus😳
My suffering is eternal
NOOOOOOO
I love binge watching these videos cause it feels like watching my own interdimensional cable
I only now realised the irony of a bald doctor removing the baldness gene.
Click faster than Usain Bolt fastest record
I saw this movie in high school biology, and unfortunately forgot the name of it. I always wanted to rewatch it with my husband, because we both have the same taste in movies, and enjoy watching them together. We probably watch 2-3 movies a week. Thank you for uploading this. Now, my husband and I can watch a nostalgic movie of mine.
One of my first favorite movies as a child. It inspired me to keep studying in a time where my parents didn't give much thought to knowledge.
Prediction is only a possibility, it depends upon the bearer of that possibility either to fulfill it or exceed the possibility to an even greater extent.
Yes. Eating junk food, smoking, drinking, not moving, etc - the best genes possible won't save you.
I don’t know why I like these videos so much. The guys voice sounds like a computer and it’s just a narrator ruining movies I haven’t seen yet. But for some reason, I love it. And some how at the end of the video it feels like I’ve seen the movie. Lol
So like half the movie is them trying to find the invalid and not doing actual detective work like “oh there is an invalid here he must be the guy behind it, let’s not do any murder weapon finding or find motive lets find some guy who might not even be involved”
I saw this film at school and it was instantly one of my favorite films ever. I'm so thankful the teacher showed it to us.
This movie is actually horrifying.
And at the end I always get teary eyed over Jerome's fate.
Dude, you're my favourite channel that I click on the moment I see an upload. 😎
The consistency hitting different in this channel
14:20 is a great character building moment
Love you recap, keep up the good work
Damn ur opening was so cryptic, I was thinking "this is gattaca, right, no it cant be" got me there tbh
This is an emotional and tought provoking movie considering our vulnerable humanity on so many levels. Btw Vincent tells his brother that he never kept his stamina for the return when they do their swim racing, yet has enough to bring both to shore giving the msg that determination in extra ordinary situations has always been the winning trait in human nature rather than what we like to calculate and/or predict.
ngl movies like these are rare, now all Hollywood teaches is people to feel like victims and blame others instead of perseverance despite your flaws
What do you mean? No matter how dumb they might be, the protagonist rarely loses. Isn’t that them persevering?
@@gmartin5453 what?
@@gmartin5453 Nah, it’s just plot armor.
Has anyone actually watched this movie? They don't edit the genes of the children. They fertilize a bunch of eggs in vitro and then select the best from those options via genetic screening before implantation. The doctor didn't "remove" any conditions. He "screened" them out and left four options that didn't have them; two male and two female zygotes. The quote from the doctor is "Keep in mind this child is still you; simply the best of you".
This was an excellent movie... For those who have not seen it I strongly recommend it 😊
One of my biology teachers had us watch this movie as part of the curriculum on genetics. It solitified my love for science and genetic study ever since
Before today all I remembered about this movie was some guy was trying to go to space but had to pretend to be someone else because of a heart condition; that and a scene where he was exercising and because of his irregular heart beat he had to somehow mask it with another person's heart beat.
I love this movie so much- really worth a full watch!
“Undesirable traits such as Baldness”
As they show a bald dude ..... that looks great being bald
Ever since I found this channel, I hoped you already or were about to cover this movie. Never saw the end in school but now I can finally finish it!
I like how it’s hard to tell if it’s text to speech or not
Is it text to speech?
@@kingofthekoopas8857 yes but in the beginning i actually thought it was a real guy speaking
Yes text to speech are getting really better.
You’re killing it!!!
Bro RIP Jerome man I liked that dude so much
fun fact: the name gattaca comes from the first letter of the names of the nitrogenous bases of DNA: Adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. Have a great day!
Everytime I watch a recap of a movie I've seen, I realize you actually capture everything from the movies and the full feel of them. I don't need to watch movies anymore 😂
Just how many movies in this world go unseen 😭
3:05 ah yes, let me remove the social and psychological pressures that will lead to your child drinking too much.
I know that there are genes and traits that make people more and less addictive, but that’s not my point.
I think that doctor was just having a laugh because if someone wants to be an alcoholic you know they damn well will good genes or no
Notice the janitor. Ernest Borgnine. At one time he had, at the same time, 3 of the most popular shows on TV.. He's slowed down but he loves working and can often be seen in bit parts.
Hats off!
cool.
oh remembered this movie ..heard it from my a level biology teacher
Loved that our high school science teacher showed us this movie. Great message
I love your content you made me watch all of these keep doing you
A-yo that pfp kinda sus
I love this, might watch this in the future. It's nice to see people striving and proving something.
NOOOOOOO JEROME
That man
Was amazing
Rip Jerome best man to ever live
I don't know how I found your channel but its freaking sick .now I can look up movies on Netflix
You would think w. Such advanced tech they’d somehow know how to fix being a paraplegic
Eh. We can cure tuberculosis but not pimples. Shit happens.
Please please, watch this movie, the recap does not do this underrated film justice. The movie never got the recognition it deserved. Its not about the movie never getting the popularity or how it got overshadowed at the box office. This is about the themes and message in the film to inspire people like this movie did for me. There is no gene for the human spirit.
I love this film... One of the questions asked by his brother is how he was able to keep swimming when he finally gave in and Vincent said he never planned for the journey back (*loosely quoted can't remember actual quote)
Appreciate this channel and the fact that you upload as often as possible.
I saw this movie when I was just 9yrs old - I could relate to not being the superior child - it’s disheartening to not be considered good enough coz of your background or ethnicity - how much really can your DNA decide for you.
One of my favorite of all time movies. Really good message behind this movie.
One of the best sci-fi movies ever made.
I watched this movie in boilogy class
It's a good movie
I haven't watched, although I have watched this video (which summarizes it). I love it. Like bro, the movie plays out pretty realistically and I really enjoy the concept. There's a lot of movies with good concept but fail incredibly hard. Like ones involving robots taking over the world or zombie movies nowadays. They all feel so cliche and are overall poorly executed, but this one is amazing.
U did blood samples too? As part of a project of finding out who the killer is right
@@akosammy no lol I didnt we just watched a movie cuz we were learning about genetics
Same! I remember watching it in honors biology in 9th grade
@@linkmeuplink yea same
I would never want to live in the society so called perfection. PS: Love the movie. Vincent paid off his hard work.
I watched this movie recap like a year ago, and last week, my biology teacher announced we were going to be watching it in class as part of our genetics unit. Life is good
My favourite movie!
Hello Story Recapped! I wanted to say that I recently found this channel and it is great! I have been binging it for a few days now. I have watched a couple of movies due to these recaps. Thanks for keeping me entertained! Keep up the good work! 👍
Is because the modificated babies were satiesfied with everything and they didnt became better but the ones that arent modificated they tried to be better
This was such a good movie. We had to watch it in our Biology class during our Genetics unit and it was one of the best movies I've seen!
