GATTACA response

"I was never more certain of how far away I was from my goal than when I was standing right beside it." 
-Vincent
                     
This quote was used by Vincent in the begininng of the story whenever he was talking to Irene, and looking up in the sky whenever another ship flew up. Vincent says this because i think he got to his goal really quick and not think he would ever get here as quick. Vincents goal was to go to space but he was not able to do it because since he was young he had a heart problem and you were not allowed to go to space with a heart problem. Vincent finally reached his goal at the end of the movie and got into space. The basis of this quote is to never quit and to keep trying even if you can not try no more. 

GATTACA Response

"I was never more certain of how far away I was from my goal than when i was standing right beside it."
             This quote was used by Vincent when he was a janitor for GATTACA, when his dream was to work there instead of being a janitor. Vincent had a goal of pursuing a job there since he was little. However, his genes and traits were not at the acceptance level as they required. When he got a job as a janitor, he was able to be there and see how everything works. He was also able to see the shuttles take off everyday. That was also his  ultimate goal, to fly in a shuttle. His dreams later came true, thanks to Jerome. Jerome had passed the genetic test and was ready to work there. However, he was hit by a car and broke his spine, which placed him in a wheel chair. GATTACA would not let Jerome work there if he showed up in a wheel chair that he would be in permanently. Vincent had treatments done in order to look like Jerome. He then posed as Jerome and got his dream of working at GATTACA. Later, he was able to go in a shuttle and fly to space.
