Tom Hanks Movie Review: ***^Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2011)

 This is a different kind of Tom Hanks movie.  Tom Hanks dies at 9-11, and the movie focuses on his son, Oskar (Thomas Horn) and wife (Sandra Bullock) dealing with the loss.  Oskar's grandmother (Zoe Caldwell) gives some support.  Oskar find a key, and consequently is on a mission to find where the key fits.  It says Black on the key, so he wants to see everybody with the last name of Black in New York.  This is a big chore for someone with post traumatic anxiety.  He is eventually joined by his grandmother's renter, who is likely his grandfather (Max von Sydow).  He tells his story of 9-11.  His father called, but he didn't pick up, and then the building fell.  

This movie explores 9-11 in the effect it had on family members of those who were murdered.
