He refers to Anton Sr. who is Vincents father.

When he finds out his first son (Vincent) have a 99% of heart disorder and has 30 years life expectancy, his father regrets that he did not take advantage of the technology (picking superior genes of the parents for the baby) to make is son "more perfect". Therefore, he does not think his disordered baby (Vincent) is worthy of his name, Anton.

When they (Anton Sr. and Vincent's Mother) have a second baby and they actually use the technology to make the second son (Anton Jr.) "more perfect", they then name him Anton because that is the "best" genes of the family in their son. They also think that Anton will be more successful so they give him "the superior name".

What is the real name of Lil Wayne' s real father?

His real father left him when he was an ifiant , that's why Lil Wayne would rather be chosen to be called Wayne instead of Dwayne, as he was named Dwayne after his dad but he now tells everyone to call him Wayne because he doesn't want to be named after his father as he was not in Lil Wayne's life. However his Stepfather Rabbit died in 1996 by getting shot 7 times, that is who Lil Wayne saw as his father figure instead of his biological father.


How many movie versions are there of les miserable?

Moulin Rouge (Red Mill) in French is a song. the song is from the movie of the same name which was about, I believe the French artist Vincent Van Gogh and was in part adapted from the novel, with the rather risque title (Lust For Life). There probably have been several night clubs, etc bearing the name.


What is an invalid in gattaca movie?

An in-valid (also called "God-child" and "faith-birth") is someone born what is currently the normal way, rather than through genetic engineering. People born this way are called in-valids because they are not considered to be valid humans - that is to say, they are discriminated against because they are not as strong, smart, etc. as genetically engineered people.
