The movie GATTACA was not only interesting because of the unique plot line of a society that is founded on the information that can be retrieved from a genetic code but also because of the relationships that were depicted in the film. The relationship between Jerome and Vincent was an interesting situation where the audience can see the resistance that Jerome has while relinquishing his identity. However, he wants to be the Jerome that Vincent has created. Jerome has lost his will to live because he deems himself as worthy of second place, never first. When he sees Vincent excelling in his prospects and succeeding in his personal life as well, Jerome starts to crave his identity that Vincent has fixed. We knew that his suicide was inevitable yet, I still loved his character and it almost brought me to tears to see him end. The general dissatisfaction with what he has become and the bitterness of what he was is what characterized Jerome. His change from being a difficult character to a sidekick didn’t signal that he was getting better. Instead, his cooperation with Vincent goes against his character and made his intentions questionable. He was doing things without being asked and it seems he realized that he became dependent on Vincent. Jerome or Eugene became number two to Vincent’s Jerome and Jerome realized that he is nothing without Vincent. If he cannot supply his urine and blood, Jerome is nothing to Vincent, especially when the spacecraft flight mission was finalized.  Watching Vincent succeed was like adding nails to his own coffin. He was proud of Vincent but mad at his own inadequacy.
