Silent is better than sound here

A story about finding, a key, a growing experience, a healing process from a gigantic creation. Aside from the background of the times and the hustle and bustle, is there anything else that can move you?
To that autistic boy, the world is so complicated and simple; so noisy and so quiet; who am I? Where do I belong? What does father want to say? Only by starting can you find the answer.
Life is like a voyage of return, just for that ethereal and hard-to-find, yet clearly audible call, that distant, yet within reach, dream, we muster up the courage to advance into the unknown again and again. Often after going around in circles, most of them return with disappointment. But unexpectedly, the answer we are looking for is always at the origin.
In fact, is the original goal really that important? Perhaps, the experience itself is the result we are looking for.

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close quotes

  • 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.
