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.

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.
