  • more people need to know about this movie.

  • justin bieber can out swim them

  • 1:10 is really good acting. Could have been an emmy nomination

  • I dont get the meaning of the quote "I never saved anything for the swim back"

  • @helloadios12 He never held back. He put 100 percent in trying to win. That's what the movie is about: it's not your genes that win but your determination

  • @helloadios12

    succeed...and if that means risking death, or dying, then so be it...death is not the end, not trying is.

    But perhaps Churchill said it best: success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm"

  • This must be among the top 10 movies of all time. And oh boy oh boy, what an actor "ethan hawke" is....

  • woohoo Nasa have rated this the most realistic sci-fi film of all time :)

  • The "perfect" people know their capabilities and their limits, whereas average people can push beyond their limit just like Vincent. They know what they can and can't do, so they actually limit themselves and as the leader of their organization said "no one exceeds their limit"

  • The scary thing is that something similar is actually happening... The genetically modified food is making people all the same. It's almost as if they're machines... And then I remembered this movie...

  • @Relesy BS. I oppose genetically modified food for other reasons (environmental and "intellectual property" reasons), but it doesn't matter what the DNA of the food you eat is. Chemical and nutritional content is another story though...

  • @ektrules It's been proven.

  • @Relesy Far from it. There has not been enough research in the area to prove anything. There are a few papers published that show some link to harmful effects, but the methods used were less than satisfactory, so these papers are highly criticized. Thinking about it more, I could see how crops that are engineered to produce their own pesticides could be harmful. But none of these crops are approved for human consumption as far as I know.

  • @Relesy What's sad though, is that researchers cannot research the effects of these crops. Companies like Monsanto license their crops like software, and they come with "end user agreements" prohibiting people from trying to modify, reverse-engineer, or publish any studies on them whatsoever. So all the data examined has to come from the companies themselves. Which, of course, raises issues with all the papers using their data.

  • @ektrules Someone like you isn't worth my time who hasn't even SEEN the research I'm talking about. If that weren't enough, the saying makes sense too. "You are what you eat." You are GMO. People don't even give it a change, because they've been programmed and they're all machines. Metaphorically speaking of course.

  • God-childs are better than Atheists-childs

  • @FOBmzunguREPTILICUS Oh shut the fuck up....

  • @ENT84127 ...haha

  • I cried. Loved this movie. I had no idea what to expect. It floored me.

  • Kolos2006. The exact words I said walking out the cinema when I first saw it! Here here...

  • The 90's Blade Runner.

  • goosebumps every time i watch this scene

  • A GREAT movie

  • love the music

  • My favorite movie! Don't save anything for the swim back!

  • vincent wheres the shore were too far out!!

    dont worry anton im an astronomer and soon to be astrounout, i can navigate using the stars as a guiding compass!!

    stupid ass galferez cuts out the most aesthetic scene in this movie when vincent looks out onto the stars!

    when it is darkest, you can see the stars - persian proverb

  • do you know whats most cunning about the scene, how cunning the directors were? the first time iw atched it, i didnt know that that detective was anton ahahahaha

  • i suggest reading napolean hills think and grow rich!

    vincent's desires are so strong. and he sacrifices so much.

  • "This is how I did it, Anton. I never saved anything for the swim back."

    Always get a bit misty eyed when I hear that line with the soundtrack. Climax of the movie for me.

  • i dont mean to sound like a dick, but obviously he "saved something" for the swim back if he was able to carry Anton back to the shore

  • @fagottron68 I hate to be a dick, but you missed the point.

  • @Bobdude7 grow up u anal tight loser

  • @Bobdude7 hey man whats up! now i realize that you dont agree with my observation, but that does not mean that i missed the point. i know that his line was a double meaning that refers to the unquenchable fire that is the human spirit. by not saving anything for the swim back in life, he was able to find the strength to overcome his challenges as a man considered inferior. at least thats how i see it. class dismissed! just kidding. love you man

  • @fagottron68 I wasn't doubting you, just a joke haha. Excellent explanation though!

  • @fagottron68 ahahahahahahahahahaha ur a witty man! thats funny really ^_^

  • @specter209 well, i wouldnt say witty. i just have a habit of making a big deal out of stuff that doesnt matter. great movie though

  • @fagottron68 HAHA u such a little bitch

  • @jokerrhe HAHAHAHA i know right!? so the other day i was having sex with another man from behind when i go for the reach around and find that he has a boner. what a fag right?

  • @fagottron68 He didn't intend to save anything for the swim back, but since he already beat his brother, he turned back. He could've kept going if he wanted to. And yeah, you completely missed the point

  • @thenewplayer it seems your observational skills surpass mine! i stand corrected! but i did not miss the point. if you dont believe me then check out my response to my good friend bobdude. or not. whatever you do, i still love you. just kidding. but not really.

  • You almost sound as if you believe that.

    how did this movie not become a huge hit?

  • SHIT

  • "Limited in his nature,

    infinite in his desire,

    man is a fallen god who remembers the heavens."

  • i never saved anything from the swim back! motivation? inspiration?  or fucking suicide ahahahah

  • Thanks for posting it, I've just finished watching the movie, never get sick of it, such a beautiful movie, so well written. This is my favourite scene, so inspiring to me. One of my absolute favourite movies ever, I'm so glad I came across it, by fate, downloaded with a bunch of other movies from a guy I worked with. I meant to watch it years ago but never got round to it, so glad I finally did..

  • One of my most favorite movies of all time.

  • Just an incredible piece of art. I love this movie since i first saw it. A precious object in my dvd collection :)

  • It's so hardcore how they swim as far as they can into the ocean in the middle of the night to test themselves.

  • this movie and wall street are my 2 favorites

  • best fucken scene from the movie.... and big props to michael nyman for an amazing score.

  • oh I get it! The other side, not as in land mass but death! wow, that's some major poetic shit! I love this movie. and Vincent is sooo cute/sexy!

  • This movie is SO underrated. It angers me that it's brilliance is not lauded by the masses.

  • "I never saved anything for the swim back.".....wow, I wish more people were like this..

  • Faltó la última parte cuando se abren las nubes y Vincent ve las estrellas.

  • Perfect in every way!!! The Sc-fi cult classic of cult classics.

  • "You wanna know how I did it ? This is how I did it Anthon.........I never saved anything for the swimback"

  • I have no brother

  • the ocean is green

  • HANGING BACK ON A C130

  • CHINESE SUBTITLESss!!!

  • the only battlefield  that exists

  • i dont have a brother

  • i love u....how can i prove it

  • "is that the only way you can succeed? is to see me fail? GOD! even you are gonna tell me what i can & cannot do now!?"

    -amazing emotional response. its amazing how those lines are so true; only you are the one who can judge how far you will go & what you will do. there is no gene for drive/desire as Gattaca shows. i love this movie & all of its messages.

  • Every time I watched this part It reminds me that Hard work is the key to achieve anything one set his/her mind to do!

  • handsome hawke

  • @mitchag191 hahahaha!! Hansome Men's Club.

  • One of the best scenes ever. God, I love this movie, especially this part.

  • lets try some try mix

  • fucking sweet ocean.......love her

  • my brother was a pussy...hid behind his family....fuck him

  • I read a story about something like this where a brother pushes his deformed brother to be as good as him. But the opposite happens in the story I read than in Gattaca. The deformed boy dies and his brother is left with guilt. Personally I prefer the message of this scene being the opposite of what happened in the book I read.

  • most of my life has been on the ocean...my brother challenging me...what a joke

  • i dont care..i wil hunt ur soul........growl...i willl tear your throat out.....arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • that pussy brother of mine....coward

  • this is how viewed my brother.......

  • reminds me of Coronado...never saved anything for the swim back

  • Watched this movie for English...just purely amazing. I love Eugene =)

  • never had a brother

  • excellent acting....

  • hmm... chinese subtitles... weird.

  • now thats just racist but an english film posted on youtube is just weird.

  • How do you know it's chinese?

  • cos i can read chinese...... obviously.......

  • Amazing music as well, the composer should have been nominated

  • Up there with Alien and Blade Runner

  • are you a moron? sharks are not daytime creatures, they are way more aggressive at night

  • Sharks are daytime creatures.

  • They swim naked. XD

  • Comment removed

  • i d like to move to Gattaca.. they shouldnt be swimming out there at night.. sharks

  • Sharks are daytime creatures.

  • @FireStormBaller yeah, but I think they hunt at night...

  • Great script, great movie, good camerawork... but the acting is not always so good. That's a pitty, because otherwise it would have been a masterpeace.

  • It is a masterpeace the problem was the marketing.

  • @navylaks2 It's slowly becoming more and more famous as time goes on. This is a true classic!

  • He's trying to prove to vincent that he doesn't need rescuing anymore and he is sucessful. "you want me to prove it to you!" Vincent wins because he only has 30.2 years and he never saves anything for tomorrow.

  • Great great movie!!!

  • i dont understand this i guess i have to rent the movie.

  • Overlooked intellectual "Rocky"

  • Unbelievable movie. My favorite of all time . It cant get any better than that.

  • favorite scene

  • like they say you dont know your limits unless you break them

  • One of the most powerfull, moving films of all time in my opinion.

    Too many people now base movies on special effects. Out of the entire movie the only special effect was a rocket blasting off.

  • definitely one of the best, never got the respect it deserved.

  • @nomorephones totally agree! I even can't find a DVD to buy anywhere now.

  • @gamegear9 my favorite movie of all time. I can watch it over and over

  • 'it is impossible to beat your potential. If someone did, then the potential that we gave them was not accurate'.

    this movie is incredible. vincent won because he put everything into that race. not this 1 but th 1 before, he knew that if he couldnt beat his brother in that race he truely wasnt better than the others. so he would have drowned before losing, he out everything into it unlike his brother, and he won.

    this film wasnt a success at the box office but is still amazing!

  • you cut it off before the clouds part and he sees the stars.....that was the climax of the scene

  • "There is no gene for the human spirit" - what a good scene to convey this!!

  • This is awesome man. Everyone should be like Vincent. Thank you so much for posting this. The movie best scene ever. makes me wish to be better everyday

  • I wonder if Vincent swan any better after going through limb extending and wearing contact lenses?

  • A powerful scene

  • the only way to test human possibilities, is to test the impossible... it is quite realistic, it's your belief in things that claim it's not realistic that will be your limit.

    this line is how people are afraid to live, and I love this scene and quote... the world squelches and laughs at others dreams, only to bring misery back it's company.

  • this movie is so poetic,and life reflecting as well. It shows that even if there's someone better than you,you're not lost,but you have a chance anyway

  • he looks like christian bale.....

  • I do...

  • Too bad it ends before showing him looking up at the night sky after rescuing his brother.

  • "are we brothers?"

  • @nickalexis1123 your comment may be a year old, but now that i ponder about it, it seems like vincent meant, will a brother crush another brothers dreams? yeah anton was hella douche

  • Totally the best bit of the movie!

    That line is just awesome!

  • "I never saved anything for the swim back" greatest quote of all. Most inspiring scene from any movie i've ever seen. This scene, is truly life changing. The human spirit mixed with a burning desire is the way it's done!

  • This is very interesting

  • What special aesthetics of this film!... it reminds me the movie "Brazil" in many aspects. Of course a different genre...

  • hehe greate FUN ^^'

    N1 For IDEA ^^

  • I love Ethan Hawkes acting here, the themes of this movie, the depth... it's just WOW.

    Anyone know any other movies like this one?

  • Men of Honor

  • love the movie...his brother looked at him like you crazy S.O.B...Forget you! I'm swimming back.

  • There's no gene for the Human Spirit...

  • Man that's cheesy...

    This is one of my favorite scenes in a movie all the same.

  • There is....We just havent found it yet.

  • the best scene of the film!!!!

  • The best scene is the wheelchair scene where that cripple yells at the cop.

    "Whats your numba!"

  • anyway! ;-)

  • No way, man. THESE are the best scenes in the movie.

  • what it means isn't that he never looks back or never gives up exactly.

    when he says he "never says anything for the swim back," he means that he is willing to risk everything, even his life, to achieve his dream. That's why he was able to do what most people could not. Because most people don't have the mentality to really put themselves in the success or death scenario. They hold on to a 3rd option, to swim back if necessary. But Vincent gives himself only two options: success or death.

  • firestormballer, you're an idiot.

  • @superdonkeypunk "I never saved anything for the swim back" ----- great analysis of that scene!

  • @superdonkeypunk 200% agree

  • This the motivational movie..

    Great!!

  • this movie gives me orgasms.

    i can never get enough of watching this movie.

  • This is my favorite part of the movie. Thank you for uploading this, but you should have more of the ending of that swim. Excellent movie.

  • wonderful movie !

  • "this is how I did it Anton!?

    I never saved anything for the swim back!"

  • what happend after the end of this clip? did his brother and vincent go there seperate ways?

  • such a cool movie

  • awesome movie, incredible scene and acting.

  • My third favorite scene

  • this is my favourite scene in the movie. I studied Gattaca in year 12 so saying why this is my fav scene would exeed my comment word limit. Anyway what are your 1st and second?

  • 1st "The Second Morrow" ( beach scrubbing scene) I felt that he was tired of being Jerome & wish he couldn've discarded him. As Irene was in love with Jerome not him. The 2nd was "Irenes Theme" (The satalite dish array)

  • even though Anton is supposed to have better genes..Vincent sure has better looks.

  • @NinjaSaver hells yeah! ethan hawke is majjjjooorrr cute!

  • Might be the greatest soundtrack in any movie I've seen. The music almost makes the movie

  • this is an amazing movie showin us even with our flaws we could still be amazing and nothing is truly impossible, just believe in yourself corny but very true

  • ***** Thanks for rating!

  • wat did vincent mean when he said "I never saved anything for the swim back." yet in the movie he saved his brother... nid help people im confused

    im only 10

  • It means he gave everything he had to win, even if it meant risking his life during the swim or breaking the rules to go to space.

  • Vincent saved his brother because, despite their strained relationship, Antwone was still his brother. Also, when Vincent said, "it's too late for that, we're closer to the other side" and later, "I never saved anything for the swim back," Vincent (at this instant in the movie) had nothing to loose. Discriminated because of his imperfect DNA and unable to live in a world where he was unacceptable, Vincent chose to swim to the "other side" rather live in that world.

  • I nver saved anything for the swim back, is like saying I never look back, I never give up.

  • @liqui1987:

    Okay, I understand what he meant by that now. I can go to further details if you want me to. Just request it and I'll gladly explain what he means by it. ^.^

  • the competition is you swim out as far as you can, the first one to turn back loses. So he won because he never saved any of his strength for the trip back to shore. Him saying he saved his brother was basically him bringing up "remember the time I beat you years ago" (same swim contest presumably). Thats why the brother said "you didn't beat me, bla bla I'll prove it to you"... basically wanted a rematch.

  • you're a dunce and always will be

  • the song is called "the departure"

  • Na this one is "The Other Side" by Michael Nyman. The main theme song of the movie is "The Departure." Theyre very very similar. I almost couldn't tell the difference the first time I heard the two

  • This is a great movie BUT I hate the H.K. subtitle.

  • does anyone know what this song is called?

  • The other side

  • I never saved anything for the swim back...

    This movie definitely has the most inspirational lines ever.

  • *This video has been added to your favorites.*

  • "I never saved anything for the swim back." captures the entire morale of this movie

  • anton is pure HOTNESS!!!!!
