The Terminal (2004)

The Terminal is about a man who trapped in a terminal at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport when he is denied entry into the United States and at the same time cannot return to his native country, Krakozhia, due to a revolution.

The movie is based on a true story of a man named Mehran Karimi Nasseri. He spent eighteen years in the Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris before departing to his home country.

The director of this movie is Steven Spielberg. He made another movie that could make me laugh, cry and feel good about the world. Tom Hanks as Viktor Navorski (the main character) acted very well. He successfully made me smile when I was watching this movie. 


The Terminal is a movie which makes you realize how beatiful life is. Viktor can’t get out of the airport and he can’t go back to his country. Dixon (Customs and Border Protection Head) is forced to try to make him break the rules, as Viktor finds himself in a blind spot (he can’t be accepted to go home, nor can he be accepted into the US as a refugee).

We can learn a lot from Victor, he has a path in life he attempts to follow. When his life is on wait he still manages to keep his hopes up, he never gives up.

 That positive attitude is missing in many of today’s societies. We need to learn that the world won’t blow up just because our plans get changed or delayed.

I learn from this movie that life is all about change.

Sometimes it`s painful. Sometimes it`s beautiful. 
But, you must realize that there's always somebody that will always be waiting for you, no matter how long it takes. :)
