Did anyone notice that hands feature prominently in this movie?



What a superb movie - incredibly moving and such believable, loveable characters.

Has anyone noticed that people's hands are a central theme in this movie? The showing of love and affection and the connection between characters was often expressed through the use of hands - people holding hands, rubbing hands, kissing hands, inspecting hands, talking about hands etc.

With the script and camera focusing on hands and touch so frequently, I wonder if this was a conscious decision by the writer and director? The whole 'hands' thing really stood out to me. Did it for anyone else? If you ever get the chance to view the film again you'll see what I mean.

Yes, hands were used beautifully in this film. Hands have the power to love, hurt and heal.
