"Jerome never questioned my commitment again. I took my mind off the pain by reminding myself that when I'd eventually did stand up, Id'be exactly two inches closer to the stars."
Gattaca is a great film where he does exactly this.
It's one of my favorite movies of all time and has so many great quotes.
"I never saved anything for the swim back."
"I was never more certain of how far away I was from my goal than when I was standing right beside it."
The style of the movie feels timeless as well. I like how they didn't try to go crazy with fancy gadgets.
Also, it has a soft spot because I was a younger brother that always felt like he was the lesser and never belonged.
The only criticism I have is the romance piece, but the rest is just flawless to me.
The name with ATGC is super cool too
I haven't watched that movie in such a long time, but i still remember so much from it. Eo many good lines.
Gerome, gerome the metronome.

One of my favorite movies that was long before it's time.
I agree. It was and is an amazing movie.
I very intentionally bought it.
I watched it at the movies and thought it was crap. Granted, I was much younger then. It's one of my favourite movies now.
Cool trivia about that movies is that it includes a piece of piano music written specifically for a 12-fingered pianist.
Was there a 12 fingered pianist or was it aspirational?
There was. Here's a clip: https://youtu.be/rUOlnvGpcbs?si=wCT1Rzjev7XVWXM-
It's a variation of Schubert's "Impromptu in G-flat major" adapted to 12 fingers by Michael Nyman.
Could be played from a piano roll or by two pianists?
"You didn't beat me that day, I beat myself."
"Who're you trying to convince?"
"You want me to prove it to you? I'll prove it to you!"
"It's not important Anton, it's forgotten."
"Want me to prove it to you?!"
"...I do."
