I think that the theme of Human Spirit is a good theme that brings together everything that happens in GATTACA. There is a lot of evidence in the film that support the idea that Human Spirit is important.
Vincent is definitely not perfect but because of his will to achieve his goals, he finally gets there. He was supposed to be frail with many issues, but instead, because of his want to get into space, he works hard and achieves greatness. If he did not have such a strong will, he may have keeled over and died when he was 30.2. But instead, he makes it into space.
Jerome, however, was supposed to live practically forever. He was genetically crafted to be totally perfect at everything. But, because he doesn’t have a strong will, he never amounts to anything, until he finally has something to live for. Towards the end of the movie, he ends up staying alive for Vincent. But, when Vincent leaves, his spirit is crushed and he commits suicide. All in all, Jerome is sacred.
Vincent and Jerome each have different hopes for what they want to be when they are older. Vincent has huge hopes while Jerome wants nothing other than Helping Vincent. Maybe if their personalities were switched then Jerome would have made it to Saturn’s moon and Vincent would have died when he was 30.
Human Spirit is very important in this world and in the world of Gattaca. The important thing is to always hope and to keep your dreams in mind.
