The thing I liked most in some ways about the film is that society is in some ways correct: going to space with a heart defect is a real issue and we already exclude people based on such issues for very real and valid reasons. Yet, we can't help but root for the protagonist who has their dream denied through no fault of their own but instead the choices of their society and parents. Compelling. If taken in a less extreme sense I think it's a good film for reflecting how much much genetics does determine what we can do, even today, and the reality that many of these limits do ipso facto exclude us from our dreams. As much of life is learning to live with this reality as it is striving to achieve our dreams. The film, of course, presents us with a character who cannot live with it (although with limitations not from genetics) and ultimately commits suicide, and another character who achieves their dream but for whom we do not see the possibly morbid consequences as it is the end of the film.
