Gattaca is one of my Top 10 best films from 1997 and happens to be one of, if not my favorite, Science-Fiction film of the last twenty years.

I see the big brother aspect of the movie but there just a simple substitution of genoism for racism.

The whole underlying plot of the movie is discrimination. Headed directly by the conflict between the two brothers. The cop brother can't even see past his inherent discrimination to what his brother really is.

He is at Gattaca and no one suspects it because of the ingrained belief that a non-engineered person could never make it there.

To me it exemplifies racism and discrimination. The core message is that the composition of a person does not limit who they are and what they can do no matter what basket of societies preconceived notions that you subscribe to.
