Terminal, The
I cant comment on the special features etc on this disc as it isnt out yet.
However I cant rate this movie enough. Ive given it 4 not 5 as I think movies need time to develop into classic's but for a modern movie I thought this was great.
The story takes place in the 'small' world of the airport terminal (hence the name' and how Viktor develops in these confines with limited english, no funds and no idea of what is happening to him.
Smacks of Forrest Gump in some instances (like how he is a master builder or learns english) but the movie is emotive endearing and light hearted. Even the bureaucrat's are likable (except Frank Dixon)
Definately worth several watch's.
Terminal, The
For someone who is -- as back-to-back best actor Oscars and the AFI Life Achievement Award attest -- arguably the most beloved of modern American actors, Tom Hanks has spent a lot of time recently hiding from himself.
Intent on putting some distance between his image and his most recent screen roles, Hanks' latest performances include an emotionless killer in Road to Perdition and an over-the-top con man in the Coen brothers' The Ladykillers.
The masquerade continues in the Steven Spielberg-directed The Terminal, in which Hanks plays Viktor Navorski, a heavily accented visitor from Eastern Europe for whom New York's JFK airport becomes a version of the Eagles' Hotel California: he can check in, but he is not allowed to leave.
This latest time be...
Terminal, The
Inspired nearby the true story of an Iranian who has lived in a French airport in search more than ten years, this is a sly, wide awake, upbeat fable of persistence and survival ? and the mannerism to be institute lurking in unexpected places.
