I forgot my dinner completely while i started to watching and then i couldn't eat.

It is astonishing how a brilliant acting can make a simple story a great one. The terminal is a simple, a feel good movie. Watch it for Tom Hanks. I am sure you will enjoy it.

Movie Review: "The Terminal" (2004)Actor Tom Hanks carries this tragic as comical picture on his sole shoulders with the real-life-inspired, romanticized story of fictitious Viktor Navorski, arriving at JFK airport in the state of New York, USA, while his former country seizes to exist, when the charming, yet automatically-reminiscence to "Forrest Gump" (1994), spoils the experience of an slightly-lengthy 120-Minute-Editorial by Amblin Entertainment's man of trust editor Michael Kahn, when Director Steven Spielberg pulls magic tricks by the shots of splendid moments in the heart-warming love story of homeless Viktor & Amelia the stewardess, portrayed by eye-catching as beat-striking Catherine Zeta-Jones, at age 34, to a fairy tale conclusion not without having a couple of visual surprises by Cinematographer Janusz Kaminski in ultra-movable camera motions as light transitions, down to miss-placed handheld shots, especially at scenes of costumes chief inspector Frank Dixon, performed by suspense as conflict-sharing actor Stanley Tucci, delegating backstage business with costume officer Dolores Torres, played by ensemble-completing actress Zoe Saldana, in forth-coming realms of an imaginative airport wonderland with massive budget-raising product placements for any audience to buy in.The third collaboration between Director Steven Spielberg and Actor Tom Hanks presents itself as quality motion picture entertainment as it can be expected by these two extraordinary filmmakers through decades of taking-seats in Hollywood's mind-set of the highest order. "The Terminal" is rounded up by another playful this time lounge-music-indulging score of romancing emotions by composer John Williams, when some of Spielberg's key players as producer Kathleen Kennedy and production designer Rick Carter are substituted by "Men In Black" movie-series-producing Laurie MacDonald and Alex McDowell in realism-preaching production design, when the high-standard screenplay by industrial professional Jeff Nathanson becomes the ideal project for the director's vision of happy endings and portions of magical realism for the dreamer in all of us.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

How did the screenwriter of the film think about creating a story within the airport terminal? Especially, the international airport is a place where people feel a little bit more excited about going abroad or coming from abroad.There are many shops in the duty-free area of the airport terminal and many people work from early morning until late. There are also police, customs, airlines, banks and so on. That is to say, it feels like a big city. There are also huge commercial aircraft that are worth seeing.In addition, people of small countries who can not speak English, a little love story, New York jazz bar and so on.It is a film that makes the viewer smile consistently. This film is a perfect match for a family with a comfortable winter evening.PS: Thanks for reading. Please understand that my English is not good. ^
