3) I think it is scary that this could happen in the future. 
4) How far into the future is this? Is this even a possibility?]]> 2017-05-22 01:44:37 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173034755 Georgia https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173034765 2. I enjoyed the different genre. I thought it was interesting and sometimes filled with suspense.

I like how the movie slowly foreshadowed events. Such as when Jerome said that he was fully sober when he jumped in front of the car, then later he incinerates himself.
3. I didn't like the added theme of romance.
4. I was wondering who the doctor really was and came with the conclusion that he was probably the real Jerome's father.

3. I disliked the security measures about how you had to take blood tests every time you walked in there
4. I was wondering about how they got 12 rockets launched everyday which meant that they had to get every rocket shoot up into space in just 2 hours]]> 2017-05-22 01:45:13 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173034826 1. Tatenda https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173034831 2. I like the theme and how it showed a possibility of the future.
3. I did not like how Jerome burnt himself because it did not make sense.
4. After watching Gattaca I was thinking about how there are always people who are not accepted into society. My question is, How extreme do you have to go to be accepted? ]]> 2017-05-22 01:45:16 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173034831 1. Maddi https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173034843 2.  What I liked about the film was that Vincent achieved his dream of going into space. 
3. What I didn't like about the film was that someone died at the end of the movie. 
4. Why did Jerome kill himself at the end of the movie? Was it his choice or did someone demand him to do it. ]]> 2017-05-22 01:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173034843 Jared https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173034871 It was fascinating that some of the things that happen in the movie might happen in the futures

I didn't like how Jerome burned himself at the end because it made no sense.

Is Gattaca be a movie with a far-fetched storyline or will it possibly be what life is like one day?

]]> 2017-05-22 01:45:43 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173034871 Mitch https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173034874 Liked - The idea that people can overcome what others expect of them and limitations that others lead us to believe about ourselves
Disliked - The idea that physical disabilities stop us from reaching our true potential and lead us to depend on others 
Is it right to judge people on what they can potentially and what others deem them to be rather than what they are?]]> 2017-05-22 01:45:44 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173034874 Nicola https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173034881 2) I liked how although everyone around him told him what he could and couldn't do, he still overcame barriers that people put on him. The overall message for me was that you can achieve anything you want when you put your mind to it.
3)I didn't like that the real Jerome killed himself. I think that the environment he was in made him think that his disability defined him which isn't a good thing.
4)Will we ever live in a world where we are not trying to reach 'perfection' physically? Will people ever not be defined by what we see of them physically?]]> 2017-05-22 01:45:47 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173034881 Jack https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173034882 I liked that gattaca was thinking about possibilities of what could happen in the future.
I didn't like how the guy burned himself.
After watching gattaca I was thinking about how long it would take for what was happening in the movie to become a reality.

Is Genetic engineering going to contain the issues that were highlighted in the movie, Gattica, or will there be different issues?]]> 2017-05-22 01:46:06 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173034911 Mikayla https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173034962 2. I liked how they used an interesting and creative storyline
3. I didn't like how he had to use someone else's identity to achieve his goals
4. Why are people always judged physically before getting to know them personally?]]> 2017-05-22 01:46:34 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173034962 Paige https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173035111 2. I liked how the film was very creative and interesting, it kind of made more sense about genetic engineering because the mother was choosing how she wanted her child to look like.
3. It was confusing when the main character died at the end.
4. ]]> 2017-05-22 01:47:44 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173035111 Hayden https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173035179 2017-05-22 01:48:14 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173035179 Dylan Mulligan https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173035274 the movie was inspiring

I didn't like how Jerome died because he was happy to help Vincent.
After watching Gattaca I wonder will our life ever be something like Gattaca and become a reality.]]> 2017-05-22 01:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173035314 Larnie https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173035332 I liked how creative the film was and how he used someone else's identity

I disliked how the ending was that Jerome killed himself. 
Why do people have to go out of their way to be accepted into a society they belong in?]]> 2017-05-22 01:49:41 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173035383 Ben R https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173035423 I like the message of achieving the impossible.

I liked how the film was interesting and it was creative. 3. I didn't like Jerome was burnt to death.
4. Will life ever be something like life in Gattaca? and will people accept it?

There was nothing that i disliked about the movie.
Why did the movie end like it did?]]> 2017-05-22 01:51:45 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173035627 Giorgia P https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173036225 2. I liked how the movie shows events of a possible future.

Disliked - no real ending, what happened to him in space and why did he get burnt? thats painful aand different to most suicides.]]> 2017-05-22 03:35:55 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173047957 Margherita https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173047973 Liked- The fact that even if the movie was set in the "future" it still had parts where our world now connects with the world then (discrimination etc)
Disliked-  The confusion between if the Doctor was his father and why Irene had a heart problem but was still valid.
Is the movie trying to make a point on discrimination and other things that happen in todays society? ]]> 2017-05-22 03:36:03 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173047973 Paige https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173048051 I like the mystery part of Gattaca, it made me feel like I wanted to keep watching the movie.
Disliked- How the brothers were on different sides
Liked- How it was set in the 'not so distant" future meaning that this could happen once technology has advanced enough
Question-  Why did not let Vincent to be in the Gattaca building when he only had a heart disorder? Why was discriminating of genetics so important?]]> 2017-05-22 03:36:35 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173048051 Victoria https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173048059 2)I liked the thought and mystery behind the film it was different to any movie i've really watched

3) That my favourite character died.
4) How far into the future is this? Is this even a possibility?
]]> 2017-05-22 03:36:43 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173048065 Judd https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173048077 Liked: I liked how the film is shot and the lighting is pretty great, also I liked the characters and the humour when there was some
Disliked: I disliked how there wasn't much emotion shown in any scene, Vincent saw his only brother after 5 years and his reaction was to have a straight face, this can also be said with Uma Thurman's character. Also at the end it got pretty confusing as to what was going on. Also Jerome didn't show many suicidal tendencies and he was somewhat of a comic relief but he still killed himself, that was a bit annoying.

3. will anything happen like this in the future bc that was hectic]]> 2017-05-22 03:36:52 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173048090 Ethan https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173048161 Movie was cool, i think the doctor had a crush on Vncent. Hated how whats his face killed himself like their is a lot better ways to do it and i predicted the guy killing himself and yeah.]]> 2017-05-22 03:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173048161 Kate I https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173048168 1.  it was interesting

2. I didn't like how they jumped from scenes very fast and the didn't fit together well so it was a bit confusing.
3. I was wondering if the doctor at the end was Vincent's father and wont he get caught in space because everyone he is with on the rocket will find out his true identity.]]> 2017-05-22 03:37:34 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173048184 Nick https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173048301 1.I liked how the story showed parts of the future that even now seems quite believable and real.
2. I disliked how Jerome just straight up killed himself by burning himself alive like sure ok then.]]> 2017-05-22 03:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173048301 Lia https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173048309 - I liked that the film it had a lot of determination and mystery,
- Some things I didn’t like about the movie is that it was confusing at times and a bit long 
- wondering about if we have systems in the future similar to the ones in the film (about DNA), and I also thought about Jeromes death

- I didn't like how Jerome burned himself and how they didn't show what happened to Vincent after going into space, especially since the whole movie was about that.
- I wonder if the future will actually ever be like that. ]]> 2017-05-22 03:39:39 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173048366 Charlotte https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173048785 2. I like how no matter who you or what you have done in the past are there is alway a ways to achieve your dream.
3. I disliked the fact that in that world people had limitations in life depending on how there were born or how there body works.
4.  Why do we judge people ? Are we like this?]]> 2017-05-22 03:44:57 UTC https://padlet.com/batt/gattaca/wish/173048785
