I get the point. But terrible example. Gattaca allowed a scumbag to endanger a billion-dollar space mission to further their own ego. Not the poster child for privacy.

Did you miss the entire sub plot about an underclass?

No. Yet the 'hero' was patently unfit for the job they sought, and cheated other qualified candidates to get it. At a possible societal cost in the billions.
It might have been a good movie, had the protagonist been actually qualified for the job but cheated of the opportunity because they were the underclass. That would have played into the theme instead of refuting it.
I am baffled by the reputation Gattica has received.
