Gattaca (1997)

Visible crew/equipment: When Ethan Hawke is picking out a suit and shoes, you see a distinct hand on the left side of the closet holding up what must be a false wall.

Continuity: When Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman are escaping form the party, the sleeve of Ethan's suit is ripped under the armpits when he hits the cop but in a few seconds you see his sleeve completely fixed.

Character mistake: When Jerome (Vincent) is telling Irene that he is a "God child" and says "mine is already 10,000 beats overdue" referring to his heart. Even for a super athlete, whose heart only beats 10 beat per minute, that's 1000 minutes of extra life. That's only 16 hours - less than a single day. Maybe it should have been 10-million beats.

One of the biggest themes in this film is DNA and how it can be used (and misused) to give information about people. It's interesting that the name 'Gattaca' is spelled using only the letters which stand for the four nucleotide bases which comprise DNA: guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine. The word GATTACA looks like a short sequence of DNA.

In the Gattaca world, people like Vincent who fake their genetic profile are known as borrowed ladders. This is a reference to the double helix, or ladder shape, of DNA.
