Scorpion project. Film study post


Film study

Hello readers and today I am going to do a protagonist comparison with the protagonist for the movie Gataca, and the protagonist from the book, The House of the Scorpion.

Theses two characters even though they are from different stories they are very similar in many ways.  Vincent the protagonist from the movie is pretending to be another character named Jerome.  He is acting like Jerome because the real Jerome is not able to walk so he gets Vincent to be him for him.  Matt the protagonist from the book is El Patrons clone and you could say is also acting like him because well they are the same person.  In the end of both of theses stories the real Jerome kills himself and El Patron dies so Vincent and Matt now become those characters for real.  In the movie Vincent is suspected of murder and no one really likes him except for one girl, his brother, and the real Jerome, and that also kind of happens in the book as no one likes Matt but Maria, Tam Lin, and Celia and you could argue that El patron liked him but that was really only because he was going to use him.  Both characters go through the same kind of story and only really have 3 friends that they can trust.  Also both characters are very smart and tricky in many ways and I think that they are pretty much similar for the most part. 

Thanks for reading and I encourage you to watch the movie and read the book and give me your feedback on these two characters.
