Man, GATTACA is such a masterpiece. As a viewer, it feels streamlined and effortless, telling a simple story in a complex world, but then you open it up to see how it works and find a Swiss Watch level of craftsmanship inside, with a million moving parts and every one is essential. Just incredible.

It kinda seems like the real race he's running is to empty out the intelligence community before his disapproval numbers fall to a level where they'd have public support for a coup.
