WWR Bonus ☉ Left of the Projector x Why We Roll

Join us as we discuss the 1997 sci fi film GATTACA with our pal Evan on Left of the Projector! From LoP: 'In this episode, we analyze the 1997 sci-fi film Gattaca, directed by Andrew Niccol, alongside Wythe Marshall and Chris Pickett from the "Why We Roll" podcast. We examine the film's portrayal of a future shaped by genetic engineering and social stratification, contrasting 'valids' and 'in-valids' in a society that discriminates based on genetics. Our discussion highlights the film's casting choices and the moral ambivalence surrounding its individualistic narrative, embodied by Vincent's journey to overcome systemic barriers. We also reflect on the film's aesthetic and its critique of reliance on genetics, acknowledging its limitations in addressing classism.' Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
