i don't understand why there are people who are against this film and said really evil words about it. i, myself, think it is awesome and classic. i don't really have that kind of feeling of loosing someone forever in my life yet, but i can absolutely understand the message the director is trying to tell us through us. the scene that struck me most is when the little boy heard the message saying 'are you there' for nine times and ending with a long beep with the building falling picture in the TV and the boy kneed down, crushed. the boy's effort are not totally in vain, he found back his mom's love and i believe he could actually hear his father's voice extremely loud and incredibly close. love is just like that .

Oskar Schell: It's just a box! An empty box!
Linda Schell: I know it's an empty box! I know this. But I did it for me, and I did it for you so we can at least try and say goodbye to him. Because he's gone, Oskar, he's gone and he's not coming back. Never. I don't know why a man flew a plane into a building. I don't know why my husband is dead. But no matter how hard you try, Oskar, it's never gonna make sense because it doesn't. It doesn't... make... sense!
Oskar Schell: Fukozowa you! You don't know anything!

[first lines]
Oskar Schell: There are more people alive now than have died in all of human history, but the number of dead people is increasing. One day, there isn't going to be any room to bury anyone anymore. So, what about skyscrapers for dead people, that are built down. They could be underneath the skyscrapers for living people, that are built up. We could bury people 100 floors down. And a whole dead world could be underneath the living one.
