Messaggio di Mercutio da commentare:

Dalla prima sceneggiatura di Gattaca.

A STARSCAPE

As we pan across the constellations, a title is superimposed upon the starscape:

«In a few short years, scientists will
have completed the Human Genome Project, the mapping of all the genes that make up a human being.

«After 4 billion years of evolution by the slow and clumsy method of natural selection, we have now evolved to the point where we can direct our own evolution».

The first title is replaced in the heavens by a second title.

«If only we had aquired this knowledge
sooner, the following people would never have been born:»

A succession of portraits and photographs of RENOWNED and HISTORIC FIGURES fades in and out of the constellations - the accompanying titles list their affliction rather than their accomplishments.

HOMER
Blind from birth

NAPOLEON BONAPARTE
Epileptic

COLETTE
Arthritic

LOU GERHIG
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
(Lou Gerhig's Disease)

RITA HAYWORTH
Alzheimer's Disease

HELEN KELLER
Blind and deaf

STEPHEN HAWKING
Lou Gerhig's Disease

JACKIE JOYNER-KERSEE
Asthmatic

CHARLES DARWIN
Chronic invalid

The face of Charles Darwin fades off and another title appears out of the stars.

«Even Charles Darwin, the man who told of the survival of the fittest, numbered amongst our frailest».

The title fades off and is replaced by one final title in the night sky.

«Of course, the other birth that would surely never have taken place is your own».

Comunque resta un film abbastanza cazzuto, anche se le musiche sono di Nyman; e soprattutto trovo patetica la storiella di "quisque faber fortunae suae"...stronzo
