When I was watching "Groundhog Day", I once mistaken Bill Murray for Uncle Tom Hanks. When I went to find the film, I did see that the director had considered making Tom Hanks. Acting as the male lead, but later he denied this idea. Compared with the time-constrained background setting of the groundhog, "Happiness Terminal" is set as a space-constrained sitcom. However, in my opinion, this film is not as meaningful as "Groundhog Day", and it is a bit too Hollywood.
But when we interpret and watch this movie from the perspective of limited space (not considering its rationality, although it is said that it is also adapted from a real story), there is some sense of popular science in it, as we all know that it is old and beautiful. The restrictions on entry, immigration, and birth rights of citizens (the recent turmoil, a series of policies that Uncle Trump has introduced or is considering) are often discussed. Maybe there are too many illegal immigrants or a strong sense of superiority. Visas to the United States It's not easy to do. You have to go to the embassy for a visa interview. The visa pass rate is half and half. Unlike traveling to a third world country, it is just a visa-on-arrival exemption.
When Victor was stranded at the airport because the old government was outlawed, he learned to slowly adapt to the life of living at Gate 67 of the airport. Not only did he find a profitable business, he bought himself new clothes, and he paid a bunch of buddies. , I have to wait for the one I love (although I couldn't be together in the end), Amily has her own plans and concerns. Everyone has multi-faceted needs. Stewardesses are always more difficult haha, but this spiritual desire The romantic woman also got some wonderful feelings from Victor, but when she made up her mind to leave Victor and return to the embrace of the old lover, she found a bit embarrassing but it sounds very literary and confusing. Only the excuses that can pass in my heart:
-You know what Napoleon gave Josephine as a wedding present? It was a gold locket. And on the inside he made an inscription. "Destiny." Do you know what Napoleon gave Josephine as a wedding present? A small box made of gold, inside the box, he engraved a word, "Destiny"
Yes, but instead of believing in the words of Dixon, the boss of airport management, she did not stupidly choose to completely believe and ignore it. Instead, she confronted Victor face to face and understood the reason behind the scenes, but in the end she still chose Another life. How can a 39-year-old woman stay 27 years old without money? This is the reality of the United States, so I would prefer the happy ending in "Groundhog Day". In order to live a happy life, the male protagonist decided to stay with the female protagonist in a small town he once hated very much.
If there is a point that touches me in this movie, it is not that Victor has done a lot of legendary good deeds and became a part of the heartthrob, nor is it that he made a mural fountain to make the heroine happy. It is not the enemy Dick. Xun finally decided to give up his momentary thinking, and it was not the courage of Gupta (the old cleaner) to "many arm crashing" when helping him to leave the airport in order to cause chaos. Although everyone has the shining point of tenderness and kindness that is easy to be stimulated in their hearts, there are always several opportunities for each person to become an unsong hero in his life. But what really touched me was Victor's insistence on his original intentions and tested principles.
When Dixon told him that as long as he was willing to say "fear" to return to his country, he could be allowed to stay in the United States by special care. He said that he was afraid of ghosts and vampires, but he loved his country, Krakozhia, no doubt. This love can be seen from watching the news while watching the TV and holding a celebration after knowing that the country is safe.
When Dixon created a chance to escape, and his friends said that he could be smuggled out in a food cart or loading truck at any time, he still chose to stay in the airport. In fact, all he needed to do was to complete Dixon's goal of getting him caught by the police and disappearing before his eyes.
He knew what he was here for:
-My father die before Benny Golson write his name and send to my father.So I make him promise I keep promise.I promise I will go New York find Benny Golson, have him write name to put in can -And you've been living here so you could do this for your father? -Maybe I think he do it for me. You say you are waiting for something. And I say to you” Yes, yes, we all wait.” -What are you waiting for ? -You, I wait for you.
-My father died before Benny Golson’s signature. So I gave him a promise, and I will keep my promise. I promised him that I would go to New York, find Benny Golson, get his signature and put it in this can. -You live here to fulfill your father's last wish. -I think he is doing this to help me, you say what you are always waiting for, I say to you, yes, we are all waiting. -So what are you waiting for? -You, I have been waiting for you.
This was his original intention. Even when Amelia, who met by the water later, declined the invitation to go to New York with him, he still kept his distance gracefully and watched her like a gentleman in the last encounter at the airport gate. Leave. Because he is going to New York to fulfill his father's last wish, love is restraint, isn't it?
It's just that there is an episode in the middle. Dixon threatens Victor with the handle of the airport staff, and when he is not allowed to enter New York, Victor chooses to obediently return to his hometown. So what I admire is that this man has a goal in his heart, but he is not stupid, impulsive, nor selfish. He even has no regrets about Gupta’s misunderstandings and abuses. His heart is so strong and he comes with a scale. This is the principled persistence that few of us can do. We either compromise unprincipled or are too stubborn to live in our own world. I saw a little bit of Forrest's shadow from this character.
Sometimes we are too self-righteous, and think that we can play tricks by playing tricks, but the real great wisdom is to do something and not do something. In the end, God will give us the corresponding result, in this life or the next.
