Gothika is a 1997 film that depicts a future in which everyone dresses like Dick Tracy and scientists use "biometrics" to determine that writer-director Andrew Niccol has no idea how evolutionary developmental biology actually works. The climax of the film, which also serves as a microcosm of its emotional and cognitive impact, depicts an ATM machine in the rain on which the sexy words "valid" and "invalid" flash suggestively next to a grainy picture of Ethan Hawke's rat face (SPOILER: he's "invalid"). In conclusion, if you liked Guernica even a little bit, you'll love Battlefield Earth starring Tom Cruise.
RATING: 82%, apparently

Gattica is a great movie. It's like the Matrix but with heart.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. It Succeeds at making us feel like this could really happen.
ReplyDeleteYou wish you were Winona Rider running your hands through Ethan Hawke's greasy hair. I've heard you sleep talk about it!
ReplyDeleteass hair
ReplyDeleteI am totally confused by this review. I like Gattaca, but what the hell is Gothika?
ReplyDeletePlease don't ask.

ReplyDeleteAny film that gets people talking about cripples is alright in my books.
