I. SCENE OVERVIEW
GATTACA is a film about a possible future. Man has mastered genetics and has taken over evolution. Superior children are made simply by manipulating genes. It's an examination of one of man's greatest aspects. In fact, the film's tagline is "There is no gene for the human spirit." The superior are often complacent, confident in their inherent abilities. Those who've been conceived naturally are considered lower class, but really are the fighters, constantly struggling to earn what others are handed.

One of the main characters is Vincent (Ethan Hawke), a "disadvantaged birth" who dreams of space travel. Another is Eugene (Jude Law), a superior man, ex-Olympic swimmer, who after a paralyzing accident is no longer of use to society.

This final scene is actually a sequence of inter-cutting between two scenes. One is the triumph of Vincent, the realization of his dream. This is compared to and contrasted with the other scene, Eugene's suicide.
