Besides Ethan Hawkes butt, this movie is well done (y)

I have to write a paper correlating ableism and the "genoism" in Gattaca, should make for an interesting reflection.

I always thought for some reason that movie had a subtle homosexual agenda.

i don't know what ableism and genoism are, but one question worth discussing is whether or not it's a danger for ethan hawke to be in space, given that he may very well die of a heart attack up there. and if that happens, what does it say about the genetic superiority stuff going on in that movie?

Ableism is discrimination against people with disabilities and "genoism" is from the movie...obviously related to your status in life based on being an In-valid or Valid.
