Can't wait to watch this later, one of my all time favorite one off Sci Fi flicks.

JakeyShakeyBakeyBoy

A truly damn good under-the-radar film and also an amazing debut for Andrew Niccol! Fun fact he has another film called “Simone” (spelled as S1M0NE)- pretty sure I’m not the only one who’ll write that on here haha. Beautiful score by Michael Nyman as well, and one of the highlights of the 90s for me personally. As for brekky… anything’s good as long as it hits the spot down here in Oz haha

Amos T Fairchild

Isn't US bacon and eggs a marketing thing from the 1920s?

Rupert Purcat

Jerome, Jerome the metronome! Yes .... been a movie I just have not been able to shake since I first saw it many years ago. So happy you caught onto the GATTA gene sequence stuff. It did have a tag line of something like 'they have not identified the gene for the human spirit". On a darker note, governments often try and link gene sequence to id cards; insurance companies require blood samples for some policies, and 'drug testing' is now common in many workplaces. so cool you watched Star Trek 'Space Seeds' so close to this. Cheers

When I think of breakfast, I think of bacon, eggs, and toast. Like Simone said, but with bacon. But I also think of things like waffles and pancakes. Oh, and I love crepes. Especially with strawberries and whipped cream. Nom nom nom, as Simone would say. I've only ever seen this movie once, but I hardly remember it. I remember thinking it was just okay, but that happens a lot. I see a good movie when I'm younger, and think it's just okay, but then I see it again when I'm older and I love it. So, it'll be nice to watch it again with you two and see if I like it better or view it differently now. Okay, I'm going in.

Shane Driscoll

I never quite understood Irene's shocked reaction after she meets the real Jerome. When they were hiding from the cops, Vincent told her that he was using a fake name. So shouldn't she have put two and two together and assumed that he was using someone else's identity?

Kyle Baker

So in case you didn't realize Jerome had to go the way he did otherwise it would have ruined Vincent.

Christopher Feiertag

Loved to see the both of you being so pleased by the movie. But „Gattaca“ isn‘t even Andrew Niccols‘ best work. This honor belongs to „Lord of War“, which I highly recommend watching at some point. A masterpiece of dark humor.

Thursday is the day for great taste in movies, for the second or third choices in polls; so glad you liked it. I can't listen to the soundtrack without having a tear in the eye. I love the retro-futuristic styling of the movie. An astronaut movie without any flight or space suits. Brutalist buildings of which I always had a hate and also a love relationship with. And of course some of the best cars ever build.

Jacob King

The mission is to Titan but its purely for scientific exploration. Irene is travelling around the Sun on good old planet Earth. In Thailand eight years ago I had this chicken broth and fried rice with little sausages for breakfast and I still think about it pretty regularly.

BigGuy209

this has nothing to do with this movie, but it just got announced that Alien: Romulus will be released on VOD Oct.15 & The physical copy doesn’t come out until Dec. 3.

imperial

Yep Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman do have children together - Maya Hawke played Robin in Stranger Things and the voice of ANXIETY in Inside Out 2.

Eric Wilson

You missed the joke with the equipment. He was watching him pee with the fake urine. He had a fake penis to do that. "Great piece of equipment you have there Jerome" and "I wish my parents would have ordered one like that for me" takes a different meaning because it was fake, and was indeep equipment that he ordered. It was a double meaning the doctor used to imply that he knew.

REDR58

The kind of breakfast I have depends on how early or late in the morning I’m eating. If I have to get up early I’ll have a simple bowl of cereal and maybe some toast. Closer to 11 I’ll have vegan sausage and eggs or something heavier. I also not going to make something complicated or overly aromatic very early in the morning.

Vwlss Nvwls

I think just about anything is good for breakfast, but there are some things that do not feel or taste right first thing in the morning. For a long time I loved having Ramen for breakfast. If I liked fish I would of had fish as well, but I am not a big fish person, because it usually does not agree with me.

Vwlss Nvwls

I have always loved Ethan Hawke. I really wish he showed up in more movies.

TGrimace

The other launches had nothing to do with Titan. They were moon missions and missions to Mars and things like that. Jerome's mission was the first manned mission to Titan.

Vwlss Nvwls

The scene when Uma Thurman uses his hair to get the info on him always reminds me of a skit in the satire movie "Amazon Women On The Moon", where a girl calls to get information on a blind date, and is telling him all about all the bad things she found out about him. :D

Ricardo Alanis

Dark City is another great film that blends the film noir aesthetic and sci-fi.

Ricardo Alanis

Also grew up in Mexico. Breakfast had eggs, cereal, etc. Huevos rancherros and Chilaquiled are some of my fave.

Ricardo Alanis

There’s a great deleted coda on the DVD that shows pictures of influential people and the things that would’ve been removed in this movie’s universe (Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, etc.) ending with the note that you yourself would not be who you are if this world was reality.

Odd Thomas

For more Alan Arkin: Grosse Point Blank Jude Law: A.I: Artificial Intelligence / eXistenZ Uma Thurman: Batman & Robin Ethan Hawke: Predestination

Lola Lirola

This is hilarious, because in Spain there's no eggs for breakfast; eggs are dinner! (or potato omelette for "second breakfast" at noon, but our eating schedules are also odd). So it always amuses me the full conviction with which Anglo-American cultures always name eggs as the ultimate breakfast food.

Lola Lirola

Oh, btw, has anyone already mentioned that Gatacca is called that because those are the letters of the aminoacids in DNA? I figure George will like that.

D. T. Nelson

What makes the doctor at the end even better is that his son "wasn't what was promised", suggesting even the genetic manipulation of embryos can't guarantee the child produced will be one of the elite "valids". The whole society is built on a lie on both sides of the equation.

Anthony Villena

I'm in the rural southwest so breakfast burritos, donuts, and obesity

punterjoe

I think this is the first Andrew Niccol movie I saw (before I saw The Truman Show). Have you seen "S1m0ne"? - Like GATTACA, it feels eerily prescient - especially due to its age) but it's a lot less heavy than GATTACA. All I will say is "Al Pacino" in full-on over-the-top farce mode. It's a really fun watch that still really makes you think.

Mastervodo

This was a great movie! Some really great lines. I loved seeing your faces when it "clicked" for you about the twist at the end. Uma is damn sexy.

Monica Alarcon

Steak for breakfast??? Here in México???? First time I'm hearing about it...

Hal451

I'm so glad you guys enjoyed it! Gattaca has always been one of my favorite, underrated movies. That line, "I never saved anything for the swim back..." has always stuck with me. Such good writing.

G - Guanine A - Adenine T - Thymine C - Cytosine (and...George mentions it in the trivia at the end, d'oh)

Thirty Year Old Mulberry Field

I usually avoid meat for the first meal of the day, so eggs or tofu are the first things I look to whip up as my b-fast. And fruit is the usual accompaniment with that, usually pineapple and papaya.

Logan Kerlee

Breakfast for me is whatever I eat in the morning. Breakfast foods on the other hand are more specific. Cereals, toast, pancakes, French toast. All those are breakfast foods. I'll eat anything for breakfast, though. I'll totally eat whatever leftovers are there from the previous night's dinner, I'm open minded when it comes to breakfast foods. lol, I ate breakfast in China and South Korea. Both were VERY good! lmao, all this talk of foods! xD Good times! :) This movie's going to be fun! I love this one. :) lol, Simone you're awesome! xD hahahaha, love your reactions to things. :) xD These predictions are fun! lol, I just wish that the image was shown onscreen. :P This movie's a cool one. :) George was super close initially - way cool! Now, will he figure the reason why before it's explained. It's been a bit of time since I last watched this, but I'm still remembering everything. I'm glad! Good job, George! I love his optimism! Really puts a smile on my face. I'm paralyzed from the waist down. I've been this way nearly all of my life. Imagining a scenario like this would be so ideal. The pain that he felt while transitioning into becoming Jerome is unreal, both physically as well as emotionally. roflmao, the way he's behaving while drunk is awful. On top of that, the way he's performing being crippled is a bit extreme. As a crippled guy I can say that moving around outside of my chair is a challenge but that level of exertion is a bit much. Sure, he's drunk but still - I dunno. lol, one of the things that irritates me about this movie. I like this character a whole lot more than Mia, but Mia's sexier. It's not over yet, guys. As a crippled person, his struggle with the stairs is actually really accurate. I've been in that sort of situation a number of times in my life, although never with that style of staircase where you can climb up each individual step. I imagine that it would be far easier with that style of staircase. This scene right here is what never fails to get me emotional. His explanation to her about himself is heartbreaking and incredible. It's fair that you both don't understand what's going on. I love that you both are giving credit to the acting and lines in this movie! This movie hits me emotionally because of them. Here comes the sad bit. Yuuuuup. He's going to crispify himself. His silver will shine like gold in the fire. <3 That poll was done far before The Martian. I mean, the book for The Martian originally came out in 2011 while this movie was released in 1997. It's flipping crazy that this movie's so old, isn't it? It's awesome that you guys noticed the color shifting in the movie! There were three main colors throughout - yellow, blue, and green. "Gattaca uses three basic colors to denote different shifts in the main character’s identity—yellow to illustrate his past, blue to depict his future and green to bridge the two. These subtle cues help us to understand on a subconscious level the ways that a restrictive, genetically classist society can manipulate and harm an individual." When I first watched this I didn't catch the color shifting but on this rewatch I totally did. :) Now - I first watched this back when I was in high school in my Biology class Sophomore year. We watched this and discussed how genetically curating people would change the world and the positives and negatives of that. As a crippled person, I obviously have a stance on it! I would totally be all for this technology. I live everyday with a disability that limits my life and livelihood. I'll never be able to experience a great many things that I'd love to do because of the situation that I'm in. It's very disappointing, but I live on through that disappointment. Would this markedly remove me from the world if it were to be a thing? Absolutely it would! Would that disappoint me? I'm sure that it would but I'd understand the benefit of it. Removing the possibility of there ever being another person in my situation - not being able to take a step, climb a staircase or swim. Everyone would be on the same level. It would be ideal. Overall, loved this reaction! I'm stoked that you both had a great time watching this! It's a very cool movie that gets a lot of things right and where it falls short in that it's accepted because of when this came out and because of just how excellent of a movie this is. :) It's one of my favorites for that reason. :) It made me feel very happy seeing you both react so positively about this movie! :)

This kind of lo-fi sci-fi is one of my favourite genres. Big ideas, big questions and very little SFX. Hope to see more of it with Simone and George.

Don’t forget to give Ernest Borgnine his due. He recognized Vincent as Jerome when he took his cup. He was trying to get rid of the evidence for him before the police stopped him

Ernest Borgnine is probably most famous to people of my generation for playing “Dominic Santini” in the action TV series “Airwolf” (and of course, “Escape from New York”). However, he had a long and distinguished TV and film career. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his leading role in “Marty” a romantic drama from 1955. Borgnine also starred in “The Poseidon Adventure” in 1972, one of the biggest films of that year (one of producer Irwin Allen’s famous movies about a disaster) and in the 1979 science fiction movie “The Black Hole” which is notable for being the most expensive movie released by Disney at that time and the first Disney movie to receive a “PG” rating. I recommend all of the movies I mentioned. The Black Hole is the weakest of the 3 but is an interesting movie visually. Worth a look.

When I visited family in Mexico in the 1990s, I don’t recall ever having steak for breakfast either, but they certainly were liberal with meat for all other meals!

Grandalf

Wow, all this time, I thought that I had seen Gattaca! No idea what movie I had confused it with, maybe Dark City or something similar from that time period. This was a great surprise!

Allen Pass

I'm so glad you guys finally got to watch the movie! We've been asking for Gattaca for such a long time!! I loved your reactions! Thanks for sharing it with us! One of my favorite movies as well! Should watch Jorge Rivera's Epic the musical next!

SpankTheMonk

Anything that breaks my fast!

A few last thoughts…Leg-lengthening despite the obvious scars is a bit odd yes acceptable to German but eye surgery is a problem despite its much smaller scars yet if someone is close enough to notice such scars they won’t notice the contact lenses? Normally this sort of thing is not an issue for me but it’s all in the same scene so it’s a weird oversight. Beyond that, it’s really strange that all of the “astronauts” march into the spacecraft still wearing their business attire and not flight suits. The Sepulveda Dam is also seen in “Escape from New York” near what is supposed to be Liberty Island and where all of the helicopters take off from. Simone, the car race scene from “Grease” was filmed on the Los Angeles River Basin and in the movie is known as “Thunder Road”: https://grease.fandom.com/wiki/Thunder_Road

I love this movie. Easily top 3. I'm an avid swimmer and used to swim for school teams and have done swimming competitions, and whenever I participate in a rigorous swim I think about this film. I have a tattoo with Vincent's confession to Anton ("I never saved anything for the swim back") in my native language.

SpankTheMonk

self immolation might be the hardest way to “travel” ☹️

TechPriest

I'm not buying George's argument for there being no justifiable distinction between breakfasts foods and dinner foods. Arguing that they're all the same because they're made of the same ingredients leads to the natural extension: all foods are the same because they're made of the same elements (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, etc) chained together in ways our bodies can break for a net gain in energy. And if you start talking about replacing all of your breakfasts with protein powders and sugar pastes, most people would be repulsed. And that's without touching the idea that the same ingredients chemically turn into different byproducts depending on how they're exposed to heat. Boiled wheat is notably different from toasted wheat due to the lack of maillard reaction and addition of water.

Ste Rawlings

Yeah I feel like the space stuff doesn't really matter. It's just used as a metaphor for human fertilisation and maybe more specifically artificial insemination. At Gattaca we have numerous people sitting at desks waiting around whilst they're evaluated on their worthiness to be sent to another world. Plus there are the swimming races with his brother which also play into that.

Breakfast is frequently carb-heavy (cereals, breads, etc.) because that's a healthier time of day to carb-load (or so my doctor used to tell me) -- versus having them for dinner, etc. My usual breakfast: two boiled eggs, a yogurt, and a big bowl of cut fruit. My favorite breakfast on special occasions? From my Southern childhood: Grits, butter, runny eggs, crispy bacon (almost burnt but not quite), buttered English Muffin, café au lait. But cold pizza can also be fabulous. I also used to love it as a kid when my Southern mom would make breakfast for dinner, or make grits for dinner (either with fried catfish or sauteed shrimp). Good times! Thanks Simone and George for this wonderful reaction! This is one of my all-time favorite movies, and I used to love to show it to people who'd never heard of it just to see their surprise at how gorgeous it was. It's just a jewel -- it's so beautifully written, designed, and directed, the cast does all-time great work, and the score is sublime. Personally, while she was lovely in Pulp Fiction, I think Uma Thurman has never been more stunning than she was here -- she's always beautiful, but in this she looks just incredibly perfect. I thought this is definitely one of Ethan Hawke's best performances ever -- he's always underrated and just terrific here, and he does look really beautiful -- almost burnished, like the other "Valid" characters. And always wonderful to see Tony Shalhoub, Xander Berkeley, Loren Dean, and Alan Arkin. And oh, man, Jude Law is SO good here. The way he seems to wear Jerome's suffering wordlessly on his face. I love every detail in this movie -- each is so well thought out, from the wonderful strange sounds of the car engines, to the golden light, the sterile metallic environments, the spiral staircase that mimics a DNA helix, etc. Jerome wearing the medal in the end is so bittersweet. It is Jerome accepting his second place medal and even showing pride in his achievement for the first time -- in his final moments of life. And the medal itself showing two swimmers, one ahead of the other, also echoes Vincent and his brother's lifelong races in the ocean too. Jerome has to self-immolate if he wants to protect Vincent for the rest of his life. He does so to ensure that there is no trace of his body left to betray them. The irony is, I don't think Vincent cares if he is caught after his mission -- he will return to Irene, and having fulfilled his dream of going to the stars. So Jerome's sacrifice and loss as his friend will mean far more to him than his own safety. Which is why Jerome sending a lock of his hair with Vincent to Titan will always get me. In the end, Jerome knows he will die, but part of him will have gone with Vincent to the stars.

My breakfast consists eggs & bread, I only eat any type of oatmeal when I wake up “full”. Though Steak & Eggs is my heaven menu.

PIG

One of my favorite sci-fis... again!

Brian's Dog

Great reaction, love this movie. I only eat breakfast everyday: ground beef, eggs, avacados, mixed nuts. One meal a day.

Carl Tunney

Very interesting movie. The swim scene to me I like to think is an older brother letting his younger brother get a leg up on him when he needed it. Letting him win just one time gave him the motivation he needed. Love that part of this movie. Anyone with a younger brother should understand that.

About the breakfast q: whatever the hell is in my fridge. I do not care the least bit about when I eat what, I usually fast during the entire day and eat two or three smaller meals for dinner (or way, way more on cheat days, duh) - breakfast as a notion has been dead since I've been 12 or something. If I am with friends, I will kind of chip in and accommodate their routine, making Zhou or at least toast and whatever else comes to mind. If I need a bump for my weekly endurance ride though, I'll just go for the classics: oats porridge, cold riceballs if previous night me was gracious enough to leave some, or whatever fits into my jersey for eight hours or so. I'm stocked with cereal bars, always. Tasty, varied, pure carbs, for fructose I'll get a bunch of dates - that's kind of my extended brunch or somesuch.

Cincassette

I highly recommend you guys watch "The Talented Mr. Ripley"

Joel

LOLed @Simone's "GATTACA when the walls fell" 10/10 reference :D

Gary Fixler

I love that they loved it so much they talked nonstop through the entire closing credits, and didn't seem to notice all the proper names had all their As, Gs, Cs, and Ts in a different color. It was really great to see this again, after all these years. Still love it. Oh, and I live in LA, and could not pronounce Sepulveda when I moved here, either. It's a right of passage to learn how 😄 It's suh-PUL-vuh-duh, for we English speakers. It's just a Spanish place name. The PUL rhymes with dull.

Noel Valdez

The first time I heard about this movie was the other day when I saw a YouTuber I liked say it’s an amazing movie. Glad you watched it because idk if I would’ve without y’all it was fucking awesome! 👏 it definitely has a spot as one of my favorite movies ever.
