Nice and sweet, entertaining and mainstream — 32 weeks ago
A quite sweet film that I thought would be too…Spielbergish. It’s not. Tom Hanks plays Viktor Navorski, a man who just has landed in the USA, whose country during his flight has ceased to exist and therefore isn’t recognised by the USA; alas, he cannot enter the USA nor leave for home, and is stranded in the JFK airport terminal. The film follows this person’s gentle fight against the authorities as his mindset and cultural learnings are shown differing a lot from what’s mirrored off the other characters in this very American mainstream film. It’s very funny in some places, harrowing in others and altogether a nice film to see.
