Two things.. The doctor helped him because the doctor had a son who wasn't "perfect" as promised. He understands the discrimination that Vincent has had to endure and which his son is going through. So he is an inspiration as to what can be done if given a fair chance. Also.. you skipped over all of the brothers swimming scenes which are huge. The line where he tells his brother that" he never saved anything for the swim back" is probably the greatest line in the film.. so inspiring.. but you have new sub here.. looking forward to your future reactions

Agree. Most important scene of this movie. He always gave it his all!

[@thearduousalchemist2804]

Thank you so much for reacting to his film. This is one of my fav films of all time. It's a classic film for freshman biology students to watch in the US.

Watching movies as part of science class? Smh

[@Lex-up6mg]

[@CineMoniReacts]

Gracias 🙏 we’re just getting this going 😂 and there’s more on the way. Thank you for stopping in.

Micheal Nyman score in this film is one of the best in film history in my opinion , up there with Empire Strikes Back.

[@easol]

Have The Morrow on my spotify, sooo good 😊❤

[@micperez819]

Yes, Michael Nyman doesn’t receive far enough credit. The score for this movie is one of the best

[@bigvic84]

This film is one I have not seen and kinda surprised i never came around to it. It would pop up for some reason I just kept passing it up. I will say this, I am going to watch it tonight and I will come back to your channel to see your reaction, I don't want any spoilers. Gracias y cuidate.

[@theendistheend123]

Glad you decided to watch it first. GREAT movie!

[@TerryNationB7]

I've never seen the original Gattaca poster you showed at the beginning of your reaction. That thing is downright unsettling! Glad they changed it. I always get emotional towards the end of this movie. "I got the better end of the deal. I only lent you my body. You lent me your dream" makes me feel less sad about Jerome choosing to leave this world on his own terms. Meeting Vincent gave his life real meaning. I like that his silver medal changes to a gold colour in the flames. If you are interested in more Ethan Hawke, there is a trilogy of romance movies known as The Before Trilogy: Before Sunrise (1995) Before Sunset (2004) Before Midnight (2013) I'm not really a romance movie watcher but I feel these are rather special. Watching a few hours in the life of 2 people (Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy) in their 20s, 30s and 40s and hearing their thoughts on life, love and themselves as they walk and talk to each other is fascinating.

[@theendistheend123]

One of the greatest movies of all time. Also it will be VERY relevant, real soon.

[@pacificareigns]

nice. this is my favorite movie. more folks should watch it.

[@asheradensein]

You skipped over your reaction to the best parts of the movie...

[@CineMoniReacts]

Which part are you referring to?

[@asheradensein]

@@CineMoniReacts The swimming scenes.

[@CineMoniReacts]

Sorry, I have swimming phobias. 😂

[@DJ_Hozer]

I will suggest you watch Beyond the Black Rainbow. It's a very Stanley Kubrick style movie.

[@DJ_Hozer]

This is Hozer by the way. 😊

[@CineMoniReacts]

Thank you Hozer! Love you! 😂

Something that a lot of people miss is the Director. When they accuse him of being a suspect he tells them that his "profile" is nonviolent. YET, he was the murderer, AND he killed the guy by beating his head in with a keyboard, and spit in his eye. Reinforcing the point that just because your genes say one thing, it doesn't mean that's who you are. (which is true of any form of racism, sexism, ageism, etc.)

[@julianmarco4185]

There is a lot of symbolism in this movie. And the more times you watch it you see more things and you build your own timeline. My interpretation: the story is about Vincent and how he has to cheat the system to work around it. BUT, I think the world building in the background is amazing and it has a lot of layers. Here is my timeline: 1) Humans discovered Genetic Engineering to make perfectly healthy babies in a world where genetic health problems became a problem. 2) Vincent's conservative parents conceive Vincent without genetic manipulation and Vincent is born with genetically inherited problems. 3) The world recognizes the benefits of genetically engineered people as being superior to natural kids. 4) The private sector movies to invest more time and money in genetic kids and less risk on natural kids. 5) Genetic manipulation becomes a normality because it is more benefit for the parents and the kids. 6) By the time Vincent became Jerome we start to see cracks starting to form: genetically perfect kids are starting to form health problems even though they were made perfect (like Uma Thurman's character). 7) Genetic manipulation gets out if hand and it's no longer about making healthy kids but making superhumans. Previous perfect kids no longer compare to new generations: Mass depression like Jerome must be a normal thing in elite classes. 8) Society itself has degraded to genetic information: relationships, love, marriage is determined by how good a partner's genetics are (we see that woman who had her lips checked with Uma? She kissed a guy 5 minutes prior and ran to a genetic analysis to see if he was good enough for her). 9. Finally the Doctor' son. Although genetically he is probably better, he is not the best. And in a society that is hiring superhumans he isn't fit for it like Vincent. Basically we see how even genetically engineered kids are now discriminated too.
