![]() He's not that naïve - but aside from those two issues I take with 'The Terminal,' I love it. Being an honest, good man, I don't believe that he'd genuinely love or pursue her. He knows that she rendezvous in New York with a married man and that she's in high demand with men all over the world, yet he still pursues her. Other than being an elegant and attractive woman, I don't see why Viktor would have any interest in her. The two have chemistry and I enjoy watching them together, but her flight attendant character, Amelia, is, for lack of a better word, flighty. The second little fault that I find in 'The Terminal' is in the romantic subplot with Zeta-Jones. He does it to pass Viktor's unusual scenario off on someone else, to make Viktor someone else's "problem." And when he tries setting Viktor up for failure, he's not doing it out of any personal vendetta. He's not keeping Viktor in the terminal out of spite or hatred. Tucci plays the closest thing to a villain, but even then he's only doing his job. I find two little problems in 'The Terminal.' The first is the lack of a villain. With this lively bunch – including Catherine Ceta-Jones, Zoe Saldana, Diego Luna and Chi McBride – we watch the kind and gentle stranger-in-an-unwelcoming-land affect lives in a very positive way. 'The Terminal' features a nice group of supporting characters that offer different chapters, or "episodes," in Viktor's waiting period. The concept sounds boring, uneventful, and dry, but the movie itself is the opposite. The idea of watching a man wait for news isn't intriguing or enticing, but through Hanks' performance/character and a happy little screenplay, 'The Terminal' is the opposite of what you might expect. Viktor must remain in the terminal, which is basically a large space that resembles nothing more than a mall, for an undetermined amount of time. The acting Customs Field Commissioner (Stanley Tucci) grants Viktor access to the international terminal as a place to wait it out, but that's it. He cannot enter the US because the nation of his passport no longer exists and he cannot return home because he's not technically a man of that warring nation. With the United States no longer able to honor the visa that Viktor was granted, he's stuck waiting. While in-air, a military coup occurred in Krakozhia that overthrew the nation's leadership. After arriving at JFK airport in New York City, he's detained by customs for a very odd and rare reason. Tom Hanks leads 'The Terminal' as Viktor Navorski, a simple man from the fictional nation of Krakozhia who has traveled to the United States with a mission. With my newer set of eyes, I found it to be optimistically refreshing. It contains that characteristics of the simple, upbeat and heartwarming films of old that my elders always raved about when I was a kid. Watching it now, perhaps because I'm a little older, a little wiser, a little more educated in film and little more cynical, I fell in pure love with it. I recall thinking that it was an okay movie – not bad, but nothing special – but not much else. The music was composed by Academy Award Oscar winner John Williams.I remember seeing Steven Spielberg's 'The Terminal' ten years ago when it opened in theaters, but not much else comes to mind when I put thought into it.
