Day 37
Careful for spoilers
Why the joke about cast away? I respect this movie and yet I joke. to a point The Terminal is a lot like cast away. It has Tom Hanks, stuck in one location, and the theme of the "film is sticking it out" (one case is values, the other is survival). But all jokes aside both have their own unique story which make you wonder, why? could I? should I?
The Terminal follows the story of a man without a country. while traveling to new york his country has a revolution thus, his country ( or passport) does not exist. Of coarse instead of just returning him or letting him visit ( when the passport was valid) An airport official restricts him to the terminal. While at the terminal tom hanks has to find a way to make it work until he can leave. And idk if this is a "first world problem" but I almost had a tear form from two scenes of his survival. One when he was collecting carts to get quarters; just so he could eat a real burger. Two when he is translating for a man smuggling drugs into the country for his father. /Both of these event were difficult becuz the official stopped him collecting carts ( his own source of food) and wouldn't allow the drugs in becuz of a form not being filled out.
I can ignore the bad accent in the movie. so becuz of that is give the terminal a 8/10 for a final verdict. It fails to have a leading lady i want him to be with, together or not i didn't care. I loved tom hank's performance and character. im glad this is a stand alone film and hollywood left it alone. Positively the terminal is a thought provoking movie that will make you appreciate what you have and that there is always a good friend in the airport ( this reviewer does not condone the making all friend at the airport).
Random recommendations: Cast away. toy story 1,2,3. Big. catch me if you can. Nope sorry just every tom hanks films is good ( omit cloud atlas)
