Extremely LOUD & Incredibly CLOSE

This is a post mainly about a review, based on today's date; 9-11-12. Or for those of you (like me) who write it 11-9-12. Either way it's probably one of the worlds most famous disaster.
On this day 11 years ago, two planes were intentionally piloted into the north and south world trade centre in New York.
Almost 3000 people were killed.
The film I am reviewing is about the 9/11, "Extremely loud and incredibly close".
 
The story unfolds from inside the mind of Oskar Schnell, an inventive eleven year old New Yorker whose discovery of a key in the belongings of his father, who died in the twin towers, sets him off on an urgent search for the lock it opens. As Oskars quest takes him across the city, he encounters an eclectic assortment of people with their own stories to tell, who also help uncover links to his father, preserving a connection to the man who helped Oskar confront his fears about the noisy, dangerous world around him.
 
Despite what a lot of people say about this film, I found it very moving, a stunning tale.
In memory of the lives lost today 11 years ago.
