變種異煞
Gattaca
假如給你一次登上太空船的機會，你會接受嗎？因為基因缺陷而天生體
弱，只剩短暫人生的文生，不惜買來別人的優良基因，假冒他人，換取
坐上太空船的資格，達成登陸太空的心願。你以為故事就是看着男主角
完太空夢？不，在經歷《星球大戰》洗禮後的科幻片世界裡，變種異煞
絕對是奇軍。走入太空總部，芸芸眾生，都是有錢選擇優良基因的新人
類，文生偏偏是不幸的「last man standing」，有着傳統人類基因，卻成
為食物鏈的最底層。這世界究竟是金錢萬能，科技超能，抑或取法自然
才是正途？無法回頭的現代化科技幻象，最終被騙的只是人類。以為抵
抗基因宿命，就可超越限制，直至文生混入新人類之間，走上太空處那
條猶如旋轉基因排序形狀的迴轉樓梯，控訴科技摧毀人性，科技幻象終
於被拆穿。
In the “not-too-distant future”, people are classified according to genes. Vincent
Freeman, conceived by traditional means without the aid of genetic selection, is
doomed to a short life and relegated to the lowest rung of society as an “in-valid”.
Longing for the chance to travel to space, Vincent successfully passes himself
off as a “valid” by donning the genetic makeup of someone else, thereby getting
employment at Gattaca, a spaceflight conglomerate, as a navigator. Unlike the
average sci-fi flick that celebrates another heroic dream coming true, Gattaca
treads the uncharted water and poses this question: is it necessary to respect
nature, or is money and technology indeed all-powerful? Once a firm believer
that breaking genetic conditions would bring a brand new life, Vincent’s final
showdown against technological imperialism proves the true worth of human
dignity.
