It just didn't touch your tears

The people who cry while watching this film must be those who have experienced September 11. For example, if you watch others go through a disaster, but you are just a bystander, think about it, from a psychological point of view, you should be Feeling frightened or shocked, and then silence, there should be no tears, did you cry during the Wenchuan earthquake?? Anyway, I didn't. So, you are wrong to think of it as a tearjerker itself. I didn't cry when I watched the Tangshan earthquake. In fact, the people who cried were not crying about the earthquake, but crying that Xu Fan gave up his daughter and chose a son under that situation, and how sad this daughter was. Nothing to do with earthquakes. On the contrary, the point of the 9/11 disaster is the panic caused by the disaster. Chinese people are easily stabbed to tears by the point of family affection, so how can people who have never experienced 911 understand that they cry a lot. How much harm does it bring to people? To sum up, it is normal for you not to cry~

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.
