After seeing the film, I was intrigued by the prototype of the story and the experiences of the actors. The original protagonist of the story is called Mean Karimi Naseri. The actor is the familiar Tom Hanks.
In the 1970s, Mean Karimi Naseri, a half-Anglo-Iranian, graduated from the prestigious British university Bradford University and participated in demonstrations against his own country, Iran, overseas. As a result, Naseri was expelled from Iran in 1977 due to his differing political views, after which he had to go into exile in Europe on a temporary refugee visa. In 1988, Nasseri lost all documents to prove his identity, including refugee visas, when he was on the subway to Charles de Gaulle airport, which led to the subsequent story. Although he later got on a plane to London, he was sent back to Charles de Gaulle when he arrived at the UK airport. At the time, the French government allowed Naseri to stay at the airport, but not allowed him to leave. Since then, Exit 1 of Charles de Gaulle Airport in France has become Nasseri's residence for many years. Seven years later, Nasseri was fortunate enough to obtain refugee documents with the help of a lawyer, but his insistence on returning to the UK could not be fulfilled due to official requirements that he must live in Belgium. Disappointed, Nasseri resolutely decided to stay at Charles de Gaulle Airport as if he was angry with someone. Until August 2006, Naseri left the airport due to health problems and went to the hospital for treatment. Naseri looked very pale because he could not see the sun all the year round. The last time he saw the sun was in 1999. "I'm very unhappy because I don't have a private life to speak of," he said.
During the 17 years of living in Charles de Gaulle airport, the airport bench was Nasséry's bed, and the airport cart was his wardrobe. Over time, like in the movie, Nasseri became a sight at Charles de Gaulle Airport. Passengers who come and go know him and often greet him. The airport staff are also very familiar with him, often handing him a cup of coffee to chat with him, and the airport chaplain always visits him every now and then. What's more interesting is that, unlike the flight attendant in the movie, Nasserie's wife who lives in France makes it a compulsory course to visit him at the airport every day. Although people treat Naseri very friendly, he is stubborn by nature and never accepts help from others. Once an airport employee tried to give him clothes, he was turned away by "I am not a beggar" when he said. This stubborn and stubborn spirit can also be felt in the movie. In any case, as long as the passengers transiting at Charles de Gaulle Airport, they will ask for a photo of Nasseri as a souvenir.
What interests me more is Tom Hanks, whose performance is so expressive that I am very immersed in it. Although I don't know much about the male protagonist, I have also seen his acting skills in Forrest Gump and Captain Sully. He and excellent directors like Spielberg have also cooperated many times to prove that he can be called an "old man" as an actor. Play bone". This led me to carefully inquire about his experience for the first time.
His acting career began in 1979 with high school drama performances. After years of hard work, he has won two consecutive Oscars for Best Actor. Not only in the acting career, he has also made achievements in other fields, as a voice actor, director, and producer. In 1998, Tom Hanks and Gary Goldzman established Playtone Productions. The thing that surprised me the most was that Tom Hanks developed an iPad app in Apple's iTunes app store called Hanx Writ. Even in 2017, Tom Hanks wrote his first novel, Uncommon Type: Some Stories. He has won many honors so far, such as: Lifetime Achievement Award, elected Vice President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Presidential Medal of Freedom, and awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 77th Golden Globe Awards. Tom Hanks and his wife were diagnosed with the new crown a few months ago and have since recovered. It is honorable that the Tom Hanks and his wife donated blood to a study to see if their antibodies could help the development of a new crown vaccine.
After watching the movie, I was not only attracted by the story of the movie, but also more curious about the actor's experience to make him perform so vividly. In addition, there is an episode, that is, the female protagonist in the movie is not with the male protagonist, which is a pity, leaving more room for the audience's imagination, and the film production is very successful. And when I looked up the data, I also saw that there are two versions of the heroine, one is like a movie, the heroine sacrificed herself to fulfill the hero, and the other is darker, that is, although the hero is romantic, loving, principled and persistent , it is not that she will be intoxicated, she will just be moved by this emotion. After so many years of begging for her, suddenly a "good man" appears, she will be moved, and she will understand that the sincerity of the male protagonist is truly commendable. However, what she likes and what she is obsessed with is not this feeling. In the end, she still chooses the man she loves, not the feeling of being loved, which brings her back to the rich. I think the art work of film originates from reality, and it makes sense to say that, and the sacrifice of the heroine should be the sacrifice of the heroine. It is even more beautiful. As an inspirational film, it conveys positive energy, so the interpretation can be more prominent. optimistic spirit.
This film is almost condensed into an extremely limited space - the airport terminal. In this limited space, all kinds of people, they are doing different jobs, but doing the same thing: that is waiting. The chief of customs who tossed the male protagonist, waiting for the old chief to resign; a nasty old Indian man, no one knows, he stabbed a bad policeman, escaped and worked as a cleaner at the airport. After 23 years of work, at the end of the film, he Having regained the courage that he had lost for many years, he rushed to the plane like Don Quixote, his wait was over, and he chose to sacrifice himself; the flight attendant, she always stayed in a hotel so that when the phone rang, she could leave at any time. The black girl in charge of the visa, whose daily job is to mechanically stamp different passports, no one knows that she also likes opera, just can't afford the tickets, waiting for someone to come into her life. Until the contact of the male protagonist, she became cheerful and found her own partner; the boy driving the dining car, a Mexican descendant, no one knew waiting for a chance to approach the girl he had a crush on; the father of the male protagonist, it took 40 years , collected 56 autographs from 57 jazz masters, waiting for his son to help him complete his last autograph wish; even the various people in the background in the airport hall are also waiting. Not every wait will come to an end soon, like those waiting at customs, no one tried to understand them until Viktor came. He gave them what they needed, read their stories, and changed their lives. Spielberg said that each of us is like Viktor, in this life full of variables, maybe at a certain moment will be lost, and then look for and wait; and Tom Hanks said, "Viktor finally understands that this world Not in his own way; in it, he's just making a good life for himself."
"Empathy is what makes this country great," the head of the old airport once said meaningfully to Frank, who was about to take over, the core of the film. At the end of the film, the airport police who received the interception order lined up in front of Viktor. When I thought the police would stop Viktor from entering the country, the leading policeman took off his jacket and put it on Viktor. on his shoulders, "It's cold outside, you're using it". Frank gave stupid orders because he forgot that the police officers at the airport were also people of color and were poorly paid, and Viktor's "empathy" infected them as well. He didn't actually want to take too many things from "America". He only needed one signature of an old jazz musician. His father collected 56 before his death, and he was still short of one, that's all.
When I was looking up the information, I saw this passage: "Although the theme of the film is Life is waiting, all the results are not waiting for nothing. The so-called waiting actually means that we have to give something while working hard. patient capital. It seems to be waiting, and the layout of the world has changed between our heartbeat and action." I think all the efforts are not in vain, we just accumulate and accumulate, and one day we will break through the shackles and achieve beauty the future of.
