For the (Sisterly) Love of Elsa

Even though this moment is very short, I think it is definitely one of the most touching in the whole film. ;)

When Elsa expresses her amazement at Anna’s sacrifice, she speaks as if she can’t believe what she is saying. But at the same time, even Anna can’t find the words to say, which is something that is very unusual for her. She is still in disbelief that Elsa is really there and speaking to her. This is why she briefly pauses when Elsa finishes speaking and before she talks. When she finally speaks, the only response she has for Elsa sums it up in three little words:

“I love you.”

Anna says it, plain and simple, as if it explains everything. And it does for Elsa: just look at how she smiles after Anna speaks. She is clearly so touched to hear Anna say that. Because Anna sacrificed her own life for Elsa’s life, that tells Elsa just how much Anna loves her.



In the end, while Elsa and Anna have a lot of healing to do, they realize how much their love for each other will conquer everything, and they’ll never live separately from each other again.
