Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2011)

Adventure | Drama | Mystery

 

This Oscar season had these somewhat similar plotted two movies showcased for the best movie category. One is this and the other is Hugo. In both the tales surrounds a young boy whom is desperately looking to find a missing piece of his life connected to his lost father. And both related to a mysterious key. But as many agrees that Hugo did it the best, in my opinion Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close have done it bigger and better. The plot is wonderful and the acting by the main cast is fantastic. Though a child the adult who is existing inside that kids mind is remarkable. And as viewers we get to follow his lead in to a beautiful journey of life, hope and ambition. Started as a 3 it gradually grew up to become a 4.5/5 rated movie in my book. Enjoyed it, loved it and cherished it extremely well.
