Very interesting take on future
Being aware that this movie was made in 1997, I can now see how ahead of its time it was, and still is. The perfectly imperfect world, where genetics can assure your children are perfect doesn't necessarily mean that they will be up to the task. When a child that was predicted to die by the age of 30 manages to achieve what a "perfect product" is not able to, it leads us to assume that maybe, just maybe, everything is possible.

I loved the fact that this movie sparked a very long and thorough discussion between me and my boyfriend.

Book Favorite

"Camille Paglia is one of the most controversial feminists of all time, and also one of the most compelling. This mammoth book, put very shortly, examines the representation of sexuality in Western art. But it also goes into fierce discussion about religion, literature, art history, psychology, the brutal forces of sex and nature, and the amorality and pornography present in great art. As someone who personally writes a lot about sex work, one of my favorite lines in the book is, “The prostitute is not, as feminists claim, the victim of men, but rather their conqueror, an outlaw, who controls the sexual channels between nature and culture.”"
