KateHope..you missed the point and meaning of the quote 'I never saved anything for the swim back.'

There is nothing aimless about it. Vincent wanted to win so badly that he risked everything. He's even willing to give up his life to achieve his dream!

In the final Rocky movie Rocky says "it's not about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can GET hit and keep moving forward, that's how winning is done." Gattaca, awesome movie!

There's no gene for the human spirit!

The sentence in your description is wise. Really, there is no gene for the human spirit. I can tell stories about this.

I have been used to be a sort of stutterer for the whole of my life. It is some kind of genetic disease with unknown origin. Gattaca helped me a lot managing with this "disease". And that's why I can emphasize with Vincent very well somehow.

No matter what genetic malfunction you're suffering from, the human spirit doesn't consist of the known elements and can't be measured.

@08030309961 That's not all. It goes deeper. You know how he says : "We're closer to the other side" just after that^ I think it implies that Vincent is going to die when he comes back from space (he mentions that he should have been dead by now). Remember the end: "For someone that was never meant for this Earth, I must confess: I have a hard time leaving it". He probably think he's never coming back.

@Biochips1 - There exists a new therapy for stutters where the patient wears an earpiece that repeats sound (such as patient's speech) with a minor delay. I have no idea how it works but I have seen some great test footage. I suggest you look into that. I'm so sorry I just don't know the name for it. I wish you the best of luck with this.
