On the other hand, the typical American behavior is also very well present. That's why he decided to leave the USA without getting in New York and carry out his mission, just because he could put his friends in danger. They keep their promises and will never betrayed their friends. In Eastern Europe, the people are not always kind and polite, but most of the time, they are sincere, real friends and help each other without looking for any kind of benefits. Why he did that, this is something that Americans will never understand. Although Navorski knew that he will cause himself a lot of troubles by helping the Russian guy that he hadn't known, he lied to save him. The thing I liked the most, is that with Victor Navorski, is shown the typical for Eastern Europe compassion, understanding, inventiveness, integrity, frank communication and simply to be friendly. It would be very stressing, confusing and even shocking for a man coming from deep countryside of eastern country, who has never seen such a big airport, TVs everywhere his first reaction was to try to turn the volume up manually, with very poor English, and on the top of all his country is in war and he is forced to live at the airport, where he must survive without any support, money and a lack of any kind of information absence of interpreter. Tom Hanks did an excellent job, because he managed to show the world, how all Eastern Europeans over 50's feel when they go in United States. The fact that Navorski speak in Bulgarian, even enhanced the feeling. And then I realized that he saw himself in Tom Hanks character.
#THE TERMINAL FULL MOVIE MOVIE#
I also hope that skeptics give this movie a chance-as good a movie as any Hanks film I've ever seen. I would give this a 10 of 10 and know there are many who may think it's not for them but I found this movie to be a beautiful fairytale of a picture and hope at least Hanks gets an Oscar nod.
#THE TERMINAL FULL MOVIE CRACKER#
He manages to make nibbling a cracker fascinating. I'm one who finds airport terminals fascinating anyway-all the hundreds of and thousands of people rushing about to hop on a plane and start some new adventure.but to actually live in a terminal-an interesting and rather strange concept-Hanks acting here is quiet and understated and at a level surpassing merely "talented". For me what was striking was how genuinely interesting this movie turned out to be. The movie is about 2 hours and you get a lot in those two hours. It's a very different type of movie-for all the strategically placed product adds, there's something quietly uncommercial about Terminal and watching it is an interesting experience. It is an unusual movie that really isn't either a straight comedy OR a straight drama-it perhaps falls through the cracks of genres but I'd call this mostly a heartwarming and completely absorbing character study of one man's attempt to make a life for himself in an airport terminal. I won't mention everyone by name, but the rich array of supporting actors/actresses were all good as well. Firstly, there's Hanks himself and I will admit if any other actor had played Victor it might not be the movie it is, Hanks is simply amazing, you forget who he is within the first five minutes. The Terminal has a lot that's likable about it. I don't necessarily see those as negatives, there are many good movies that are feel good or unrealistic, just as there are some bad ones. Some people have said it's to "feel good". Sometimes you'll want to see a gritty, wrenching melodrama, but other times you'll want to see The Terminal.My rating: 10/10 Īlthough, I usually can see flaws in even the movies I think are 8's and 9's there isn't much to be critical of here. Something that is getting rarer and rarer these days. It doesn't contribute anything new to movies, it doesn't try to. And more importantly, because it is good at being simple. It's a performance well worthy of an Oscar nod.I loved The Terminal for many reasons, but one big reason is it's simplicity. Tom Hanks is totally believable, accent and all. That's to be expected from a movie like this. He changes all of their lives, of course. Throughout the experience he makes friends, a love interest, and a rival. It's funny, it's cute, and it always keeps you interested.Tom Hanks leads an exceptional cast as Viktor Navorski, a man stranded in JFK airport, not welcome in the U.S.
