    “There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heart break, every loss, contains its own lesson on how to improve.” Malcolm X. Throughout the entire existence of mankind, there have been countless scenarios of individuals facing adverse conditions. War, famine, freak, weather. Malcolm X faced cancerous adversities plagued within the society; racism. Racism is slowly being squeezed out, however, new challenging adversities are evolving. The future is not utopia. Mankind continues to evolve, where groups and individuals are faced with the harshest circumstances. However, like Malcolm X they will triumph, in a way the world won’t. Just like Malcolm X in the past, the 1997 film “Gattaca” has replaced the traditional racism with a thing called Genoism. The main protagonist, Vincent, is able to overcome these adverse conditions. Contrasting to triumphing over adverse conditions, various other films including ’12 Monkeys’ and ‘The Pedestrian’ explore individuals not capable of triumphing. This leaves the main protagonist to feel failure and exclusion from the norm.
