The skylight behind Vincent is symbolizing that fate (sky and stars, heavens above) is always in our lives in the background, maybe watching us?Escalator, bringing fate down/up from “heaven”, representing ambitions that are “sky high”, also showing that our lives rely/controlled by fate, like we are controlled by escalatorspiral staircase, Gerome struggling, representing the struggle against genetic discrimination in Gattaca’s society, representing an unfair disadvantage to people in Gattaca and in our worldLow angle, showing Gerome climbing up spiral, showing spirit can overcome genes and circumstance- good example of perseverance Close up of doorbell thing, Gerome reaching up. Showing that no matter your ability, you can still reach for your dreams through dedication and perseverance, maybe the struggles of everyday life for most people in Gattaca.mid shot, showing Irene’s immaculate hair and clothing, showing the effort and discipline need to “conform” to Gattaca’s society, and maybe also modern society.Syringe taking blood sample, representing that blood/genes are more important than personality in Gattaca, and that we need to be careful not to judge people on their appearance, Gerome has perfect genes even though he is a cripple…..Vincent hiding behind a pillar, while Anton ascends the spiral stair case. Shows that genetic defects are forced to hide, just like the modernist architecture, the defects function is not in combination with form, so they are rejected. These days people who don’t conform are often rejected to.
