Andrew Niccol's "Gattaca": Philosophical Theme
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. In humanity's quest to embrace the concept of Utopia, Niccol's treatment of the human condition would typically inspire one to envision a world where people live life in accordance with the rule of reason; however, the writer's intent was quite the opposite. Utilizing "Gattaca" as a metaphor for Utopia – meaning true human happiness – clearly displays the need for ethical humanism, inasmuch as it is not difficult to ascertain just how off track society has gone in its urgent quest to reap materialistic benefits and gain individual domination. The writer discusses that as one relates the consequences of a world without moral fortitude, one can also perceive the manner by which humanity has overstepped the boundaries that bring together ethical conscience and humanism. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
