特别响，非常近

九岁男孩奥斯卡·史埃尔（托马斯·豪恩 Thomas Horn饰）的父亲（汤姆·汉克斯 Tom Hanks饰）在911事故中丧生，在他幼小的内心中留下了阴影。无意间奥斯卡发现了一封写着“布莱克”的信封和一把钥匙。奥斯卡认为这是父亲给他留下的寻找线索，钥匙背后一定隐藏着什么 秘密。奥斯卡把这一秘密告诉了不会说话的老爷爷（马克斯·冯·西多 Max von Sydow饰）。此后的每个周末，奥斯卡开始在五个城区里寻找姓“布莱克”的人。父亲生前跟奥斯卡一起规划了寻找第六城区的“侦查探险”游戏，告诉奥斯卡：不要停止寻找。 本片根据作家乔纳森·萨佛兰·福尔的小说改编。

The film begins with a body that seems to be falling from the sky, referencing jumpers from the World Trade Center on September 11. Oskar Schell (Thomas Horn) is introduced as the son of German American Thomas Schell (Tom Hanks). At Thomas' funeral Oskar complains that the coffin does not make sense, since it is empty.

In a flashback Thomas and Oskar play a scavenger hunt that gives Oskar the task of finding ordinary objects throughout New York City. The scavenger hunt begins at a swing set in Central Park, where Thomas recalls swinging when he was a child, and demonstrates the fun of jumping off. Oskar, however, is scared of swings, even without jumping off. The games require communication with other people, providing practice for Oskar. They are not too easy: "if things were easy to find, they wouldn't be worth finding".

On September 11, Oskar is let out of school early while his mother Linda (Sandra Bullock) is at work. When Oskar gets home, he finds five messages on the answering machine from his father, saying that he is in the World Trade Center on the 105th floor of the North Tower. Oskar soon learns of the Twin Towers attack by seeing footage on the TV news, and hides underneath his bed. When Thomas calls for the sixth time Oskar hears the phone ringing, but he is too scared to pick it up. The machine records a sixth message, which stops when the building collapses, and Oskar knows that his father has been killed. He never tells his mother about the calls, and replaces the answering machine by an identical one secretly so that his mother will never find out.

A few weeks after what Oscar calls "the worst day", he confides in his German grandmother and they become close throughout their time of depression following Thomas's death. Oskar's relationship worsens with his mother since she can't explain why the World Trade Center was attacked and why his father died. Oskar tells his mother he wishes it had been her in the building rather than his father, and she responds, "So do I.", after which Oskar says he did not mean it, but his mother answers that he did.

A year later, as Oskar explores his father's closet, he knocks over a blue vase and inside it finds a key in an envelope that is labeled with the word "Black". He ponders whether the key was left to him or his mother, but he vows to find what the key fits. When he looks up the name "Black" in the New York phone book and sees that there are about 216 addresses, or 472 people with the last name Black, Oskar vows to meet each of them to see if they knew his father. One day, Oskar realizes that a man has moved in with his grandmother. Oskar's grandmother tells him that the man is a stranger.

When Oskar visits the first "Black", he meets Abby Black (Viola Davis), who has recently divorced her husband. She tells Oskar that she didn't know his father. When Oskar goes looking for his grandmother one day, he stumbles upon the stranger (Max Von Sydow) who does not talk because of his childhood trauma of his parents' death in the World War II bombing of Dresden, and communicates with written notes and his hands with "yes" and "no" written on them. As they become friends and go together on the hunt to find what the key fits, Oskar learns to face his fears, such as those of public transport and bridges.

As their search continues, Oskar becomes discouraged and wants to stop until he notices that the stranger is like his father and concludes that the stranger is his grandfather. Oskar plays the answering machine messages for the stranger, despite the stranger's discomfort. Before playing the sixth and last message, the stranger cannot bear listening any longer, and stops Oskar. Later on, the stranger moves out and tells Oskar not to search anymore, leaving Oskar to conclude that the man is indeed his grandfather. Eventually, when Oskar looks at a newspaper clipping that his father gave him, circling the words "notstop looking" in an article, he turns over the clipping and finds a phone number that is circled. He dials the number and reaches Abby, whom he met earlier and who now wants to take Oskar to her ex-husband, who may know about the key. When Oskar meets Abby's ex-husband, William, (Jeffrey Wright), it is revealed that William had been looking for the key for a long time. William had sold the vase to Oskar's father, who intended to give it to his wife as an anniversary gift. Thomas never knew that a key was in the vase. William's father left the key inside, and it fits a deposit box at a bank, where William's father left something unknown for him. Disappointed that the key does not belong to him, Oskar goes home angry and sad, not interested in the contents of the box.

这片子被低估了。美国主旋律，911疗伤电影，确实煽情。但是，这个剧本绝对是顶级的，故事起承转合，无一处是闲笔，多数两个人两个人的戏，几翻转折，所有的包袱、伏笔都有下文。主流电影需要学习这种故事。
泪点笑点都很多，只是到了最后也没哭出来。也许是看了预告片对电影期待太高，看完之后就没觉得有想象中【那么】好。就那样吧，说不出。小男孩和爷爷的表演无懈可击。
该用多长的日子才能走出那片悲痛的阴霾、才能走出困住自己心灵的那座牢？一辈子亦或只是明天？结束时非常压抑，或许有的人永远也走不出这一场心病。
"Too emotionally bullying"——用一种廉价的方式来表达（伪装的）痛苦和获取同情，很难被真正痛苦和受难的人接受。Daldry的催泪在别的题材上都游刃有余，然而直面一个民族的痛苦和生命之重，太多的技巧反而显得作品苍白、虚假及无力。哭过之后会觉得自己被骗了。赞剪辑，摄影，剧本。
就算你只有9岁，你也不该对着妈妈喊“我希望你死”，因为妈妈比你更痛苦。就算你有精神病，你也不该摆出一副“受害者”的姿态反而欺凌老爷爷，一遍又一遍地揭人伤痛。就算你还只是个孩子，你也不该自以为是地利用别人对你的信任和感情。
真哭不出来。线这么多，导演是要织毛衣么。
他疯狂、恶毒、刻薄，抱着最大的敌意，不停用自己的痛苦伤害和折磨着周遭每一个人，不过是为内心的恐惧和内疚感在寻求着代偿，希望别人来为他的痛苦买单。这小孩是个天生的作才，看到他吼自己妈妈“为什么死的不是你”时我彻底震惊了。片子拍得太扯，先有立意，后虚织素材，看哭的那些你们都肿么了？
关于男孩，伤痛以及成长，依旧是Stephen Daldry最拿手的题材，依旧是一流的制作。不知是因为电影本身还是历史的残酷，中途眼睛湿了好几次。Art and life must prevail.
每一个中二病熊孩子背后都有一个伟大的母亲。Database叙事的完美呈现。时间线和剪辑都很棒（为什么没有提当年声音剪辑奖？）。可惜结尾甜的发腻且矫情的要死。这部戏让我对桑德拉布洛克的印象大为改观……
从半程开始就哭得跟个傻子一样，全是泪点。每个人物都很可爱。其实也是有些叛逆的小男孩，带着观众一步步揭开谜团，第六通留言，到底是什么？钥匙，到底是谁的？父亲留下的地图，到底藏着什么宝贝？很多爱，说出来或者不说出来，它都非常近，非常温暖。观众席中阵阵抽泣，我们都如此深爱纽约。
全片充满了想念，那种超越一切的对挚爱亲人的爱与想念注满了Oskar的血液。我喜欢Oskar，喜欢他的倔强，喜欢他的固执，喜欢他的敏感与脆弱，记住，他只有九岁。另：Max von Sydow再次奉献了伟大的表演，甚至无需开口说话。
好莱坞最令人惊叹的地方在于它对现实的反应是如此之快之准确，这个构思精巧的家庭故事，十分煽情，也十分及物。一部成功的主旋律电影，后911的全民疗伤之作。好莱坞非常明白，哪把钥匙开哪把锁。个人之见，这种明骚胜过去年奥斯卡其他几部闷骚片。
完全Get不到泪点，小孩是演得很用力，但是怎么都是一种演的的感觉。
讲述父子情母子情的好片子...........片名有点囧
肯定会成为今年奥斯卡的大热门...感动得稀里哗啦的...同样是对一段伤痛记忆的刻画和反思，金陵十三钗比较起来怎么就显得那么肤浅呢？？中国电影什么时候能达到这种高度和深度呢？悲哀呀...
逛完街看一部电影才是周末该干的事，不过没想到是这部电影这么的amazing，六 颗 星！没有很压抑会时不时搔搔你的泪腺，但穿插着fun parts。清楚的细节交代，不普通的结尾震撼观众。主角们个个表演地到位到极致，小男孩肯定是未来的影帝。this movie is just incredible like its name.
刚开始真系5系甘中意那个小男生~~但系后来慢慢被距对父亲的思念与执着所融化~~~
It's too hurt
不幸被击中泪点。借助创伤的动机引发大面积治愈，这样的题材绝对值得影像化。虽然原著的贡献很大，但这不能忽视包括小男孩在内的一众演员的高水准发挥。戴德利回归到最初的男孩成长题材，自然让其保持一贯的细腻和动人。
