EXTREMELY LOUD & INCREDIBLY CLOSE, PG-13 ( 2 hr & 9 min )
Quickie Review: Oskar ( Thomas Horn ) loses his father on 9-11 in the World Trade Center. While rummaging through his father's belongings, he finds a mysterious key and a cryptic note. Believing that these were intentionally left for him by his own father, Oskar embarks on a journey of discovery as he tries to make sense of such a senseless tragedy.
The audience liked this movie. By all means, 9-11 is a delicate subject. But it is handled well in this movie from a "personal approach."
But I didn't like it that much, simply because of how the events of 9-11 affected me. The memories of which I'd prefer to keep buried in my past. I blogged about 9-11 once before for the movie, DEAR JOHN, in February of 2010. Refer back to it, if you'd like to.
I didn't even want to see this movie in the first place. I wanted to see JOYFUL NOISE, but I arrived 30 minutes too late.
