Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close






"I started with a simple problem... a key with no lock... and I designed a system I thought fit the problem. I broke everything down in the smallest parts... and tried to think of each person as a number... in a gigantic equation. But it wasn't working... because people aren't like numbers. They're more like letters... and those letters want to become stories... and dad said that stories need to be shared
I had anticipated a six minute visit with each person named "Black"... but they were never just six minutes. Everyone took more time than I had planned for... to try and comfort me and make me feel better about my dad... and to tell me their stories. But I didn't want to feel better and I didn't want friends... I just wanted the lock. I wasn't getting any closer to my dad... I was losing him."


Ainda há pouco escrevia que a vontade é a luz da vida. Para mim a vontade é o mínimo denominador no ser humano, pode não ser comum mas é ela que nos faz perseverar, procurar, encontrar, saborear... em suma: viver! Este é um filme de vontade, mas acima de tudo, um filme de descoberta das histórias pessoais de cada um e essas histórias precisam de ser partilhadas para terem vontade de existir.
