Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

A commendable story based on the events of 9/11. It will surely make you cry, and the intend of this movie is so sincere. Reaches into the soul of the story to show the positives of human kind, and how fragile we all are . Personally, the most impressive aspect of the movie is that Oskar is blinded by his search for his father that he does not realize the intimacy that have always existed between him and his mother. The directing team did a fantastic job in showing this. Despite all these positives, themes of the movie were confusing. Audience would leave the movie wiping their tears, but they will also ask themselves what certain themes and scenes meant. Nevertheless, a heartwarming and touching tale.

The director of "Every Moment" still retains the technique of magnifying the details of the moment and the wonderful philosophical dialogue. However, the blueprint of the film is not good. Like "Hugo", there is an inexplicable sense of rupture and patchwork. Does the deletion of the old man affect the plot? Maybe the whole film is just like the lines say, no need to make sense. Hopefully the director can go back to more personal subjects next time. PS: It's a pity that the little boy doesn't become a rap singer.

There were a lot of tears and laughter, but I didn't cry at the end. Maybe it’s because I watched the trailer and looked forward to the movie too much. After watching it, I didn’t think it was [so] as expected. That's it, I can't tell. The performance of the little boy and grandpa was impeccable.
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close quotes

[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.

Oskar Schell: Doesn't anybody know that there isn't anybody in the coffin? We should have filled it with his shoes or something. It's like a pretend funeral, for a goldfish or something.
Oskar's Grandmother: This is just what it is, Oskar.
Oskar Schell: It doesn't make sense.
