The terminal

This is not the latest film, but I always watch it over and over again. It has kind of memorable charm. The Terminal is a 2004 American drama film directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta-Jones. At the same time, this film involves comedy factors. It is about a man trapped in a terminal at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport when he is denied entry into the United States and at the same time cannot return to his native country, the fictitious Krakozhia, due to a revolution.

Viktor Navorski, a man from an Eastern European country arrives in New York. However after he left his country war broke out. Suddenly Navorski is a man without a country - or one that the U.S. cannot recognize, thus he is denied entrance to the U.S. Instant of time, Viktor became a country without a home is not isolated and he became the victim of international political change. In the period while detained at the airport, Victor has only two options: either return home country or to get valid documents and immigration into the United States, but after the coup of his country, documents held by U.S. immigration authorities do not recognize, his documents has clearly failed. So he was refused entry but cannot return to the embarrassing. Stand in this country not his own, watching the strange people coming and going, Victor cannot help but feel confused. In desperation, he can only stay in the airport, sleeping on a chair in the hall, a bath in the bathroom, passing by the passenger service life. He now has the freedom not only their own body, and a small suitcase, containing a change of clothes, a razor and a identification which has been disposed.



By chance, Victor met a beautiful flight attendant who called Amy Li Ya. As time pass by, Amy Liya had a good impression on Victor, in order to have dinner with Amy Liya, Victor starts looking for work, later on she fell in love with this delicate and simple and honest man. Nine months after, the war ended, his country has the restoration of peace. Eventually he entered the United States to complete his father's wishes. During this period, he met three good friends, dedication of staff and airport stores was touched by his kindness.
It's hard not to enjoy a sweet film like "The Terminal". It is the kind of feel-good comedy that causes you to hold your breath in anticipation as wistful and likeable underdogs struggle to emerge. You watch an offering like this, and you come away with a sublime feeling of hope. Strongly recommended!! Will never be regret after you watch it.
