'Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close' is a beautiful and intensely humanizing film. it tells the story of a family who had lost a father on september 11 in one of the towers.
on sept 11 2001 i was in the 9th grade sitting in spanish class watching the tragedy of the two towers. That night i drank my last mountain dew, i always blamed that last mountain dew for not being able to sleep a wink. It was not the mountain dew that kept me up, it was the fact that thousands of people had died all in such a short period of time. My mind would not settle, i kept picturing the events occuring, over and over i would picture the planes, the fire. the thoughts were making me physically sick. That sick feeling is tied to mountain dew for eternity. I finally had to go and talk to the parents about what was on my mind, they helped me feel safe and loved. What a horrible time, i am truly sorry for those that had lost someone during that evil happening.
This movie helped me feel, feel a little more human, feel like i could add to others happiness. Any film that does that is great. At times its a hard concept to grasp that people have their own problems. This film shows that people are able to love,give, and receive healing. i just want to publicly (to my 8 followers) thank those i can rely on for healing, those being my family, my friends, and Adam Goodwin. I hope i can be someone to lean on in a time of need. Thank you.
oh hell i will end it on a F yeah....... F Yeah!
