I have been wanting to watch this comedy when it came out, but never got the chance.. The reason..? Working, flying to & fro was the reason.. haha, well that is what i can think of.. even when it is showing on UBC channel during that time, i always find myself in Siamlife office till late at night..
The Terminal, tells the story of a traveler, Viktor Navorski from Krakozhia (well you won't be able find this place anywhere in the map or atlas, cos it is fictitious!!) gets stuck in John F. Kennedy Airport upon arrival.. This is due to the fact that, his passport have become invalid as his country is involved in a civil war.. So this Viktor have no where to go as he cant enter New York, nor he can return home..!! Now this is where the fun starts..
So he makes Gate 67 his 'home'.. Everyday without fail, he will try to get to the immigration, manned by a pretty immigration officer, and tries to get a visa and gets out of JFK Airport.. All he get is a 'DENIED' stamp.. Undeterred, he began to pick up English by frequenting the airport bookstore for books.. He even fixed himself a bed (mind you, it is actually 2 rows of seated chair fixed together).. Viktor can even earn money in the airport, of course in an unconventional way.. So if anyone of us gets stuck in the airport like our friend Viktor, we could pick up an idea or two from this movie..
This is a quite an entertaining movie.. Needless to say, the way he interacts with all the characters brings lots of charm & laughs.. this movie is acutally inspired by a true story.. to know more, click here & here.. the quote i liked most from the movie is "We Are All Waiting For Something".. yeah i guess we all do.. well, im not gonna go in-depth into the plot as i am lazy to write, haha.. watch it..!!
