G.A.T.T.A.C.A.

I've always had a huge crush on Ethan Hawke. He's so beautiful.

Something to really love about Ethan, from his Wiki:

[quote] Hawke supports the United States Democratic Party, and supported Bill Bradley, John Kerry, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton for President of the United States in 2000, 2004, 2008, and 2016, respectively.

[quote] Hawke is also an activist for gay rights and in March 2011, he and his wife released a video supporting same-sex marriage in New York.

Now THAT is sexy.

Jude Law looked fantastic, too.

LOVE this movie. One of my favorites. Ethan and Jude are sooo beautiful in this movie. I fell in love with Jude Law here. Beautiful film score and I can totally see this happening.

Jude Law peaked early, but what a peak it was.

I was obsessed with this movie and Jude Law at the time. It’s definitely one of my favorite sci-fi films.

He was no Hawke or Law, but Loren Dean wasn't bad looking either.

R7, is there any gossip on Loren Dean?

I looked him up, and found zero information about a girlfriend or wife.

He's 50 years old this year, and no mention of a significant other. It piqued my curiosity.

I thought he was cute in Apollo 13.

I was conceived in the Riviera, not the French one but the Detroit version. I have always remembered that among the many memorable scenes.

Cool trivia.

Maya Rudolph was in this movie!

She was the nurse who delivered baby Vincent.

This movie had quite a cast.

Besides the leads of Hawke, Thurman and Law, there were other well known actors like Ernest Borgnine, Gore Vidal, Alan Arkin, Xander Berkeley, Elias Koteas, Blair Underwood, Tony Shalhoub, and even Gabrielle Reece.

I loved how much Ethan was naked in the movie.. lol.

I always found it odd how the medical tech (Xander Berkeley) always mentioned to Vincent how "impressive" his dick was.

Was that supposed to be part of the "defying expectations" theme of the movie?

R8 He dated Lilli Taylor. I remember someone (Cameron Crowe?) saying it was funny how much they like each other IRL, when her character hated his in say anything...

R8 - There was a short thread about him here about 8 years ago.

As is usual around here, the conclusion was he's either gay or straight.

Interesting how they made electric cars the thing of the future.

That was pretty insightful. They didn't go the hovercraft or spaceship car route.

Did it actually stand for something, or was OP just generous with the periods?

No periods in the title, R17.

[quote] He dated Lilli Taylor

That must have been over 20 years ago.

I honestly don't think that he's into females. Can't find any information on him dating anyone.

Beautifully filmed movie, I especially loved the soundtrack. Loren Dean was really lovely.

Did Jude Law kill himself at the end of the movie?

Why?

If Irene and Jerome had a baby, would it automatically have superior genes, or would they still have to manipulate the DNA?

Supposedly, they're both superior human specimens, but does that change if they were to reproduce?

I was obsessed with it throughout college. Listened to Michael Nyman's score innumerable times.

Unfortunately, I didn't absorb the core message as much as I was influenced by its overall acceptance that some genes are superior to others. Made myself feel like garbage since then.

The extras show the parents at the clinic (same scene), but there's an allusion to making sure their child is straight. It's here.

Wow I did not realize the brother was Joe from Say Anything and I have seen both of these movies many times. Thanks R14, good eye!

Why wasn't this movie nominated for an Academy Award?

It should have been. It was that good.

Why did Jude Law incinerate himself at the end of the movie?

R26, he had no identity of his own left, or at least nothing that he could live with given his previous state of great health etc. He was a liability for Jerome (Hawke) as well, and it was kind of a sacrifice.

WSJ's critic called it a "crypto-gay fantasy." He liked it a lot. Morganstern or something.

[quote] WSJ's critic called it a "crypto-gay fantasy."

I got a gay vibe between Jerome and Vincent, as well.

Maybe I was just seeing what I wanted to see, but the night that they both got drunk at the club, and then Vincent lifted Jerome up out of his chair and into bed, seemed pretty homoerotic to me. I loved it.

Then again, I think that both Ethan Hawke and Jude Law were hot as fuck in this movie.

Damn, Ethan Hawke was/is so hot.

Love the ending especially the music.

I'm watching Gattaca right now.

Jealous, bitches?
