Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close – Trailer
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.

5 years later still my favorite movie
This is one of the most beautiful stories I ever read and the movie is just as incredible.
this movie had me tears
I'm kinda high and this trailer literally made me cry
I don't understand why critics hate this movie (only 46% on rotten tomatoes!). It was beautiful and it made me cry at least 5 times. But I have yet to read the book, and my perspective might change after that. Oskar is a truly gifted boy… the actor's performance was incredible.
A movie with Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock shouldnt have sucked this much.
A movie based on such an incredible book shouldnt have sucked this much.
I’m so dissapointed…
True love represents this movie
I choose to read this book for AP English as independent
How come is it 2018 and I haven't watched this????
I've watch hundreds of movies and I always wonder how can a person shed a tear in a movie. Well, When I watched a teardrop just fell from my eyes, THREE times. This movie is so beautiful.
Is it true that the kid has autism? That's what my teacher said but it doesn't really seem like it.
I cried my eyes out, incredibly heart touching actings from my most fav actor and actress, kudos for every single person in this film
They literlly thought that a private jet crashed into the towers
The movie is nothing like the book
i am from brooklyn i will never forget that horrible day
one thing I want to point out about this movie is the kid thinks his father is one of the "jumpers" a scene where he shows his (spoiler alert) grandfather pictures of "the falling man" and as he is imagining it. but come to think if it his father was still at the phone at 10:27am just a minute before the towers fell at 10:28am. logically he died because the towers crumbled not by jumping when towers are still standing. just a thought.
how is it????
That moment at 0.54…..
The bit with the camera shutter clicks still gives me chills. Such a great movie.
Is anyone wondering where Thomas Horn is right now and if he’s still pursuing acting? I haven’t heard anything from him in years.
To me, one of the best movies ever made.
I'm no expert to judge the acting. The story, the message, the family bond it reflects is incredible.
If after watching the movie you become a better person, a better father, husband, friend, colleague…it's a bull-eye hit in my books.
What’s the name of the song playing in the trailer of the movie?
true crime daily
Yo
It's very intense and I felt tired from it. I cried more than three times and had trouble stopping crying.
American officials knew the world trade center was about to be bombed and watched from suited buildings across the the city like a show,, sick cunts
#RestoretheSnyderVerse
Thomas Horn was fantastic
We had to write about this trailer in a class test.
Some of us almost started crying.
This is so sad
What song is in this trailer? Sounds like U2
Lmao 911 is so funny
A lot of people say this was the worst Best Picture nominee of 2011. But interestingly enough, it was my second favorite from the list that year. (1st was The Tree of Life) I saw it twice in theaters and then again last year. It surprisingly holds up.
Warning:- this movie break you ❤️ …
i LOVED this movie, heartbreaking but this is what so many families lived with post 9-11 heartbreak…….we must never forget!
I loved this movie!
Dude i swear i remember this movie starring by Thomas Haden Church instead of Tom Hanks
Hmm this movie is very sad, but even after the 9/11 attack is it really allowed to put the twin towers in a film?
It’s kinda funny. I knew Thomas, the lead actor, when I was younger. He and I went to martial arts class together. When the trailer for this went up, my entire class was hit out of nowhere. In person, he was an extremely quiet kid, and this is the LAST thing anyone expected him to do.
Come si può vederlo?
This is one of the BEST 9/11 movies made. It's touching, emotionally evocative and beautifully acted. It HUMANIZES the entire event through this young boys eyes and losing his father. SO WELL DONE.
