"Happiness Terminal" is Spielberg's use of such a theme to see through the social beings in the United States. In a sense, the waiting hall is a window to the United States. The main contradiction is that between Tom Hanks and the airport director. In a sense, this relationship and conflict is a contradiction and conflict between an outsider and the American bureaucracy. Tom Hanks came into contact with ordinary people at the airport, and he felt the kindness, enthusiasm, and mutual help of ordinary people. He established a touching friendship with these people. The director of the airport was a cold-blooded animal. To some extent, it symbolizes the stubbornness, mechanical and even narrow-mindedness of bureaucrats and politicians. The human loyalty, bravery, diligence, and kindness embodied in Tom Hanks has won the support of all the airport personnel, while the airport director is rebellious and unable to resist public opinion, which reflects the failure of this bureaucratic policy. It can be fully seen that Spielberg repeated his always publicized theme in the movie, that is, the power of human nature is always much more amiable than the dogma of institutions.
