gentle skin to skin contact is a rare gift in this movie . lucie’s [human] voice gave anna the power to persevere, not the closeness to seeing something otherworldly. the voice of god and the voice of lucie are similar in what they inspire; human connection is instinctive to want and the voice of a friend and the feeling of love is endlessly more (traditionally positively) moving than a mystical idea emphasizing the loss of life
