It's been quite some time since I last watched any movie. Whether in cinema or just by watching DVD at home. Finally, last Friday night, I manage to watch 'The Terminal'. A movie that I have been wanting to watch since the day I read the synopsis.
Talented indeed, Tom Hanks did a spectacular job as Victor Navorski, who actually stuck at the airport as he can't go back to his homeland as the country is considered non-existant nor can he get in USA as he is at that moment a person with no citizenship.
Enough of the obvious, it's not that situation that facinates me. It's the human value within the story that got me hooked to the movie till the end. The wonderful and sincere heart of Victor, that won the hearts of the people working inside the airport. The friendship between Victor, Gupta - the Indian cleaner, Enrique - the food vehicle driver and Joe. The Love crush and be crushed of Victor and Amelia, the matchmaking of Enrique and Torres, and the one and only reason for Victor to visit New York and go through all those hell to make sure he will get it done.
Humanities are everywhere in this movie. It is nicely crafted and elaborated in the script and put into visual in a way that will surely touch our heart. Whether all those values of love, sincerity, friendship portrays are signs of what this world is lacking of or maybe that is just another false hope?
Only by digging into our own hearts that we will know what will the answer be.
END.
p.s Oh yes, the Victor-Amelia crush. Does that also prove that wonderful guy will never deserve to be loved by a women? She went back to her married boyfriend after he confess isn't it? Just a thought.
