    Liberal media ultimately is gonna be liberal media. I like the occasional junk film like this, but you still see the liberal trappings in more “finer” movies.

    Like I watched Gattaca, which is a very good movie. It’s about

    spoiler

    This dude in a world where people have jobs based on their genetic makeups. This sick dude wants to become an astronaut (the example they used here was kinda weird considering astronauts do get screened for health concerns) but he can’t because because of his DNA. There’s a caste system of valids and invalids, if you will. He does end up flying to outerspace, but only because he ended up using someone’s DNA…so by the end, it becomes an individualized story about overcoming obstacles and not why society is structured the way it is

      yeah I remember liking Gattaca and taking away from it that eugenics = bad, but once you peel back a layer of faux-complexity you’re left with a totally hollow message from it and a lot of films like it.
