To be honest, I really don't like this translation. If it were me, I would call the terminal directly. There is no benefit in always adding a few words with self-indulgence.

I was hooked from the beginning of the movie. I think that scene is very familiar: the changing timetable, the flow of people, the customs police... There is actually a Chinese broadcast in the movie "United Airlines flight to XXX..." I don't know if it is New York Airport There are really Chinese broadcasts, in Chicago and San Francisco, are not heard. There is also a group of Chinese tourists in Mickey Mouse T-shirts going to Disney in Orlando...

I won't say much about the plot, basically, it is a very unlikely event in my opinion. When Tom Hanks arrived in the United States while still on the wind turbine, there was a coup in the country, and all the original passports and visas were invalid. Therefore, basically, he became a stateless person, who could not go anywhere, and could only talk to the airport. wait. Of course, this classmate endured the torture of the American police, but he enjoyed all kinds of people and things. Of course, he met the beautiful flight attendant Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Tom Hanks' image of a handsome guy in Ou's mind has taken an unprecedented blow, a typical middle-aged fat man; but anyway, he is still a fan and charming...

Catherine Zeta-Jones is still shining; but to be honest , I think American airlines are empty black guys except for air aunts. Where did such a young and beautiful air hostess come from, cut~

I think the man played by Tom Hanks basically condenses the quality of the man I admire the most. For example, he has fun and understands life. The gift he prepared for Catherine was given to Josephine by Napoleon, because she likes to read Napoleon's biography; Take the travel guidebooks in various languages ​​at the airport to study and find out the meaning of each word; for example, you can stretch and bend, you can be a bricklayer, you can push a luggage cart, or you can look good in a Boss suit; for example, there are principle, the cops wanted to design him to escape so he could be sent somewhere else, but he just stood there; for example, without bothering, he said "One man, two women; No good" in very broken English ." For example... In fact, a man is most charming when he does one thing seriously.

But then the story was a little too outrageous... not much to say, it's not a particularly good story.

Some say the film is a microcosm of American culture; there's a point. If you think about it carefully, you can still experience one or two.

It is said that the crew hired more than 200 workers and spent 20 weeks building a real building - the airport hall. The set is a three-story free-standing building with steel supports, glass walls, and more than 60,000 real marble floors. No wonder it's so realistic, I thought it was a real airport. The most interesting are those stores, such as Discovery Store, Hugo Boss suits, Swatch, and even Yoshinoya and Starbucks, and it is said that some food stores such as Starbucks are actually trained employees, not actors. But I think this also shows that Spielberg really has a brain, a total of 35 companies, how much the advertising fees have to be charged.
