The Act (2019)
Wow. Amazing Acting. And visual story telling.
Man, what a hard story to tell. But worth telling.
Joey King and Patricia Arquette have knocked it out of the park. It took watching "The Lie" for me to discover Joey King's acting ability. After seeing that I wanted to watch this. I was always a fan of PA but she outdid herself in this.
Good work on everyone's part as far as I can tell.
Submerged (2016)
Oh Man..
When I saw Mario Van Peebles name come up on the credits I should have known. I was going to take it easy on this one until (spoiler) the other low rent actor ripped off HL's joker near the end.
Like many things from So Ca, Absolutely tasteless.
Gattaca (1997)
Some Interesting Points about the FIlm
So I noticed the other night while watching Nova Science that the DNA code alphabet is comprised of T N A and G. In the movie GATTACA with Ethan Hawk and Uma Thurman, altering the human DNA sequence is the main subject manner of the film. That, along with proving the significance of the human will or spirit. If you will notice, you can spell the word GATTACA with the afore mentioned letters designated to represent the sequenced molecules in DNA. No coincidence I'm sure.
Additional elements within the movie GATTACA that call out these letters is the beginning and ending credits. In the beginning credits all letters in the alphabet are in a regular weight font while all occurrences of the letters T N A and G are in a bold face. The emphasis being placed on the letters occurring in DNA carries with the theme of the film. The futurist society presented to us in GATTACA is one in which milieus dictate one's DNA must be perfect in order to live a successful life. Hence the emphasis.
By the end of the film Ethan Hawk's character has proved to us how significant the human will is by accomplishing his goals with his 'god given' DNA sequence while competing with humans with DNA refined by science. This affectively down plays DNA's significance as a factor in the ability to live a successful life. And this is cinematically reflected in the ending credits of the film by showing all letters in the alphabet, minus the ones occurring in DNA, being placed in a bold face. T N A and G are shown with a normal type emphasis.
