My mom and I went to see the movie, ExtremeIy Loud and Incredibly Close tonight. OMGoodness!!! It is about a boy whose dad is killed in the 9/11 Trade Center bombings. A year after his father’s death, the boy finds a key. He is determined to find out what the key unlocks.
The boy is not a typical boy. He mentions that he was tested for Asperger’s and the audience can understand why. I went to the website “Rotten Tomatoes” and the reviews are divided. I found myself caught up in the story and thought it a good movie. I did cry……………..a lot. Anyone that has had a major loss will be more sensitive to this movie than someone who hasn’t. I may have been more comfortable watching this one at home.
God gave me a little something extra in this movie. In my previous post, I wrote about the feelings I believe someone has that is cutting themselves or inflicting pain on themselves in some other way. It was very difficult for me to put those words out for everyone to see. The boy in this movie is pinching himself. It took my breath away when they first showed him doing this. His torso was covered in self inflicted bruises. I believe that my seeing this movie just two days after I wrote about something so difficult was God’s way of confirming I wrote exactly what He wanted me to write.
In closing, I recommend the movie. and God will use anything and everything to show us how much He loves us.
Thanks for reading : )

i love when God obviously reaffirms something to us.
thanks for the movie rec. i think i will wait and maybe see this at home. i cried hard enough when we saw courageous in the theater.
We almost saw that but we decided last minute to see something else! I figured I would cry alot, one of the reasons I have been hesitant to see it! :) Probably something I will see when it comes out on DVD - it definitely interested me!
I think I will wait and see this at home too! I would have the ugly cry face I am afraid.
