This is 9 months.
During these nine months of waiting, Viktor did not waste any time; he built a home for himself at gate 67 to be rebuilt; relying on his wisdom, he helped a Russian who bought medicine to save his father. A marriage, a romantic encounter, and conquered a group of people who originally took him as a joke; when he left, this Eastern European, who was initially speechless, had moved the entire airport.
The 138-minute film, except for the last few minutes, is almost condensed in a very limited small space-the Kennedy Airport terminal. In this limited space, people of all colors extend time; they are doing different jobs, but they are doing the same thing ---waiting:
tossing Viktor's customs chief Frank, waiting for the old chief to step down, wait 17 years;
Gupta, wanted for committing a crime in India, fled and worked as a cleaner at the airport for 23 years, but he may not realize that he was waiting.
The beautiful stewardess Amelia, from 18 to 39, is waiting for a man's promise; she always stays in a hotel, so that when the man's BP sounds, she can pack and get up at any time.
Enrique, who drove the dining car, waited for an opportunity to approach the girl he had a crush on;
Viktor’s father, after 40 years, collected 56 signatures from 57 jazz masters. He was under the nine springs, waiting for his son to help him make the final round. A signature.
Even the people of all colors in the background of the airport lobby are waiting for themselves....
Not every wait will have a result soon, for example, those who are waiting for customs clearance at the customs, this waiting, only needs 1 Minutes only
Not every waiting will have a beautiful ending, just like An who embraces the beauty;
even if every beautiful ending, there may not necessarily be a beautiful process, just like Viktor.
Spielberg said, each of us is like Viktor. In this variable life, maybe at a certain moment will be lost, and then look for and wait; and Tom Hanks said, "Viktor finally understands that this world is not his own The way forward; being in it, you can only make a good life for yourself." I
don’t know if writer Andrew Niccol was thinking of someone named Viktor E Frankl when he wrote this little character. This survivor who has experienced the hardships of Nazi concentration camps said, "In any given environment, people have one final freedom, which is to choose their own attitude." Viktor in the film is not a psychologist or a success scientist. , He just showed us how to be happy and save our lives in such an environment where there is no choice, in his simple smile, in the hilarious English, and a series of small things that make us laugh. Kindness, how to work hard to make yourself one step closer to the result. The deep meaning in the process is similar to Viktor Frankl's expression.
The film, directed by Spielberg, starring Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta Jones, is said to have been unsatisfactory at the box office. To be honest, this film does have a lot of loopholes, and the ending is somewhat superfluous; however, the combination of these three people makes this seemingly cliché film infinitely vivid, and even the humble little characters are also portrayed. It has a distinct personality and is unforgettable. Even if this is not the blockbuster you are familiar with, you can still see the clear mark of the company---innocent and even full of childlike imagination and high-profile promotion of human nature.
You may think that this is a cliche in Hollywood, but I just like to be outside in the windy night, holding small melon seeds, and looking at it is full of warmth and relaxed humor, and full of "personal heroes" and nothing new. Happy Ending" light comedy. Then, laugh with tears, if you get something.
PS: Later in the poster, I saw that the TagLine of this film was "Life Is Waiting"; I couldn't help but smile.
2011-12-27 has been
almost 6 years, and I didn't expect this film to arouse so much emotion from everyone. Perhaps the world is full of helplessness, and Life is waiting has some consolation. Looking back, in fact, it didn't get the true meaning back then. Although the tagline of the film is Life is waiting, all the results are not empty. The so-called waiting actually means that while we are working hard, we must pay some patient capital (patient capital). It seems to be waiting, but the layout of the world has changed between our heartbeats and actions. On the occasion of the New Year, I wish you all the "waiting" to be fruitful; if you haven't seen the lights yet, just hang in there:)
