why i like this movie

Ericka 2022-03-26 09:01:06

I don't know much about film structure, technique, but I know this is the only film that resonates strongly with me. The day before my mother died suddenly a few years ago, I was going to call her, but I dialed the wrong number and didn't call her. And just like that, I missed the last call. Maybe if I call the number again that day, she won't die. My reaction was the same as the little boy, self-blame. I would also rather have my father die than my mother. When I watch the boy go through New York, struggling in pain, what I see is myself.
I hope all children understand that cherish those who love you and those who love you. Do not leave regrets.
Don't be like me, you will never be free.

    A good film about the love between father and son, mother and son... the title is a bit embarrassing

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.
