The topic of this paper is on the film "Gattaca." The film "Gattaca" is a projection of the eugenics world in the visible future and the fulfillment of genetic engineering, which is the scientific and deliberate manipulation or re-design of human genes for the purpose of producing "superior" individuals. The film visualizes that oncoming era when "today's culture of perfectionist striving" (Ebert 1997) will be the norm: a society, dominated by super beings, who, as test-tube babies, grow to be disease-immune and defect-free, of superior IQ and guaranteed longevity (Ebert). As supreme-quality products of genetic engineering, their physiological, mental and psychological imperfections are pre-empted and stamped out and a perfect DNA structure predetermined, according to their parents' factory specifications.
