Based on the acclaimed novel of the same name, EXTREMELY LOUD & INCREDIBLY CLOSE tells the story of one young boy's journey from heartbreaking loss to the healing power of self-discovery, set against the backdrop of the tragic events of September 11.
Eleven-year-old Oskar Schell is an exceptional child: amateur inventor, Francophile, pacifist. And after finding a mysterious key that belonged to his father, who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11, he embarks on an exceptional journey—an urgent, secret search through the five boroughs of New York. As Oskar roams the city, he encounters a motley assortment of humanity, who are all survivors in their own ways. Ultimately, Oskar's journey ends where it began, but with the solace of that most human experience: love.
an excellent movie with a very unique and touching story. brilliant acting by the young boy!
very slow and boring. the 1st half hour was interesting. this could have been a short story, maybe 1 of 3 stories involving 9/11.
reviews here are very misleading.
incredible movie!!! such a touching story brought to life by young thomas horn and all the other actors ... deeply touching from beginning to end (bring a box of tissues!) ...
