* AppealToFamilialWisdom: Lucy is very close with her Nana and respects her judgement perhaps more than anyone else's. During her interview in the second scene of the film, she refers twice to advice her Nana would have given her as a means of deflecting personal questions.


Added DiffLines:

* SymbolicSereneSubmersion:
** Played with. During Lucy's astronaut training, she is completing an underwater repair module when her suit ruptures and, because she is upside-down, her helmet begins to fill with water. She insists on finishing the job, simply holding her breath. When she is pulled out, the camera focuses on her completely serene expression, and later her boss comments while reviewing the footage that her heart rate never went above a hundred. This scene demonstrates her extreme self-control and commitment to the space program.
** The montage that plays near the end of the film while Lucy is delivering her monologue about the effect of being in space and seeing "the whole universe" includes a quick shot of her floating in water, eyes closed and arms outstretched, with stars superimposed over the image as though she were basking in the universe itself like she says she has.
