A couple, if they want a good and perfect child, they can artificially conceive, and then through genetic screening to determine the sex and color of the child, and even exempt from all genetic diseases and myopia, topping, mania, alcoholism and other human inherent problems. All in all, genetic screening can lead to a perfect child that is ten thousand times better than natural conception.
In contrast, the fate of naturally conceived children has long been predestined, and even in the "genetic" resume, a very accurate age of death has been recorded. In simple terms, the child conceived by artificial conception is the first child of choice, while the child conceived naturally is inferior and never rises to the top.
I don't know if the future world will be like this, but there is a movie about such a future world, it is called "Mutants", also called "A Thousand Guns", I prefer the first name: starring Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, Jude Low, from 23 years ago quite classic science fiction movie, Douban score 8.8, better than 98% of science fiction films.
Ethan Hawke's Vincent is a flawed ordinary person, that is, a naturally conceived person, whose fate is doomed from the moment of birth, with a weak heart and a death age of 30.2 years. But he was not willing to accept such a fate, he longed for space, often dreaming that he could become an astronaut. Of course, he also worked tirelessly to this end, which also made him look better than the so-called perfect people of artificial conception.
The parents wanted to give Vincent a younger brother, so they brought in excellent Anton through artificial conception. Vincent and Anton often played a game of swimming together in the middle of the sea until one of them felt afraid and did not dare to go any further. Of course, it was Vincent who lost almost every time; for the simple reason that Vincent was a flawed person.
Vincent, who did not accept defeat, tried his best to become an astronaut, but his genetic flaws made him unable to do so. Eventually passing through the black market merchants, he found Jerome, who was two feet taller than himself before he was paralyzed. Jerome, played by Jude Lowe, is quite handsome, with a beautiful pair of big eyes, a perfect artificially conceived person who once won a silver medal in a swimming competition and was paralyzed in a wheelchair due to an accident. Vincent has better strength than the perfect man, and Jerome has noble genes; so Vincent borrows Jerome's identity and successfully becomes an astronaut who is about to take off.
Jerome prepares urine, blood, dander, hair, etc. at home for Vincent to pass through various examination systems, and Vincent, in order to reach Jerome's height, painfully cut off his legs and attached two-foot prosthetics, and wears contact lenses like Jerome's eyes... Everything looked seamless, and just before taking off, Vincent was almost tried on by a mission supervisor. Coincidentally, the supervisor was murdered in the aerospace company at the critical moment. What's even more interesting is that the detective sent to investigate the murder is Vincent's younger brother Anton.
After some investigation, Anton and the others found an eyelash in the corridor of the murder scene, and this eyelash happened to be accidentally dropped by Vincent. Thus, Vincent became a wanted man!
Disheartened, Vincent wants to quit the run and get into an argument with Jerome. Fortunately, Jerome was very calm, saying: "Formerly Vincent was a wanted man, and now Vincent is Jerome, a first-class astronaut: they will not associate Vincent with Jerome, they will not believe that there are liars among this perfect elite. From here, we can see that Jerome, who eliminated the problem of easy anger and irritability through genetic screening, was really calmer and clearer than Vincent when he encountered difficulties.
In two days, Vincent is about to take off, but the murder of the mission supervisor, Anton, has not yet found the real culprit, so they have to test the blood and urine of more than 2,000 astronauts. But this is not difficult for Vincent, because he has already prepared a variety of examination samples.
The night before the takeoff, Vincent and his fellow astronaut girlfriend, Irene, went to a bar to celebrate, and Anton came with the officers to search. So Anton recognized Vincent. After a round of catching up, Vincent finally pulled Irene to escape, and there was a beautiful and passionate bed scene at the beach, which made people feel excited and addicted! I dare to pack tickets, and ninety percent of all of you, young and old, want to have such an unforgettable experience.
On the other hand, Anton realizes that Vincent may have infiltrated the aerospace company by impersonating Jerome, and may also be related to the death of the mission supervisor, so he goes to the aerospace company to find Jerome. Fortunately, on the way into the company, Irene hinted that the police were looking for Jerome, and Vincent heard this and immediately lied about leaving the company with a physical disability. Meanwhile, Vincent calls Jerome at home and tells him that the police may be back home to look for him.
Jerome, who was in the basement, received a call and had to climb a long genetically shaped staircase to the first floor in less than two or three minutes to receive Anton, which was quite difficult for a person with paralyzed feet, fortunately he was once a swimmer, with great physical fitness, and could answer calmly in the face of Anton's various interrogations, of course, the final blood test would certainly pass smoothly.
This scene is very good played by Jude Lowe, imitating the disabled person with paralyzed legs climbing the stairs with a difficult and determined look in his eyes, and his movements are also very skilled, almost like real paralysis. It is reported that in order to perform this part of the play Jude Lowe also paid for several similar disabled people to teach him to climb the stairs. In addition, this scene of climbing the genetic shape staircase is suspected to be the director's dissatisfaction with the scientific community's genetic screening practices, and it is very exquisitely arranged.
After returning to the aerospace company, another police officer told Anton that the case was solved and that the murderer was in the house. It turns out that the murderer is not Vincent, nor Irene (anton had suspected her before), but the director of the aerospace company in the film, that is, the director who recommended Vincent's launch. It turned out that the superintendent knew that the mission supervisor was about to identify Vincent, and in order to ensure that Vincent could take off, he personally removed this obstacle. Because he already knew that Vincent was a flawed person, and he hoped that he could take off!
Anton eventually finds Vincent, but he is persuaded by Vincent, and the two brothers play the game they played as a child. This time, Vincent won, and the win was pretty pretty. Anton called Vincent a few times, but Vincent swam forward until Anton felt fear and could not support himself.
Anton asked in surprise: How did you do it?
Vincent replied firmly: I never conserve my strength for a trip back!
It can be seen that in fact, genetic screening may sometimes be perfectly designed and look very powerful; but naturally conceived genes may burst out of endless potential, and Vincent's victory is also the victory of the law of free combination of genes.
In fact, there is a finishing touch in the final stage of the film, that is, the medical prosecutor Emma, who every time he gives Vincent a urine test, he says: You are so big! At the last urine test before liftoff, the machine showed: Vincent's avatar + failed! Emma said to Vincent casually: How can a left-hander pee with his right hand? Remember, details matter, go ahead, you're going to miss it!
The ending of the film is very connotative, Vincent not only realized his own dream, but also realized the dream of the director and medical prosecutor, and realized the dream of all people with natural conception flaws. Of course, Jerome's dream was also realized, and the silver medal finally turned into a gold medal!
Maybe you can discriminate against my genes, you can deprive me of a job, but you can't kill my dreams!
