movie Happy Terminal 2004 USA

Director Steven Spielberg

The poster on the one-page calendar attracted me: "I've been waiting my whole life, just don't know who I'm waiting for. I've been waiting my whole life, just don't know what the hell for." It sounds like a grand curtain of love will be unveiled, who is waiting, is it a woman or a man. But in fact, this film is more about exploring a powerful force in human nature. This power contains persistence in commitment, kindness towards others, and persistence in finding happiness in the face of adversity. The English name of the movie is The Terminal. This terminal does not mention happiness, but I think everyone who has watched the movie will be infected by the spirit of the hero. There is no terminal in happiness, and happy people can be touched and infected wherever they are. people.

At the beginning of the film, the director cleverly used Tom Hanks' naive image, and asked him to play a middle-aged uncle Victor from a small Eastern European country who did not know much English and only knew a few common English words. After the uncle got off the plane I was told that my country's regime had changed, my passport and currency were considered invalid, and I couldn't walk out of the gate of the airport now, and I had to wait here indefinitely. During this long wait, he created a miracle. The play is JFK Airport in New York. What should he do if he cannot enter the United States? How can he fill his stomach when the meal coupons given to him by the staff are also lost?

The story unfolds slowly. At first, you see him helping other people pack their suitcases, but he presses down the suitcase abruptly and breaks the suitcase. I feel that he is very clumsy, but later you see him remodeling Gate 67. In the dilapidated hall next to the door, he decorated and painted the walls, and used his wisdom to help others resolve the crisis. The phrase "goat, yes, medicine for the sheep" touched everyone's heart. It turns out that what can be exchanged for the respect and admiration of others is your character, not your identity and status. The uncle proved himself with action. He bought the hamburgers with the change coins exchanged from the cart, and generously said that he didn't need to ask for change; he used a layer of small biscuits and a layer of free ketchup, another layer of small biscuits and a layer of free mustard sauce, maybe even a small layer of free ketchup. The biscuits are all free. Why are they so delicately made? His loving eyes tell us that we must live with dignity, without complaining, and what we taste is the life that is intertwined with joy and sorrow. He said: "You have two stamps in your hand, one red and one green, which means that there is a 50% chance that I can walk out of the gate of the airport." Humor is a kind of ability, but also a kind and pure heart. Difficult problems can be solved easily.

Arrange candlelight dinners for the woman you love, and transform three wash basins into dazzling fountains with beautiful shards of glass. Love sometimes comes suddenly, as in the play referring to the box Napoleon gave Josephine's wedding gift, with a note in it that said "destiny". No one knows what the fate of the waiting end will be. The name of the movie with the word Terminal may be the meaning of this. It is only the physical end, not the psychological end of the destination. Fate sometimes plays tricks on people.

The airport is a place where people come and go. Some people are about to leave, some people are going to stay, some people stop to watch, some people ignore everything around them, and different stories are being staged every day. And the simple and honest male protagonist Victor has already regarded the airport as his home while waiting. Converting chairs in the waiting hall as beds, using 2 identical travel books while reading and translating to learn English, making friends, helping friends to fall in love, and falling in love with oneself may sound funny, but in fact, this movie is based on real stories. The real man waited at the airport for 17 years.

Life Is Waiting. Maybe many things are full of helplessness, but we still have to have hope, adhere to important values, know how to give, find strength in setbacks to enrich our souls and enjoy life.

    What I remembered in my mind was that Jane finally told him, do you know what was written in the golden box that Napoleon gave Josephine? Destiny.

    American theme blockbuster. The protagonist stayed at the airport for nearly a year to obtain an autograph. The energy invested was very disproportionate to the goal. The ending was instigated by his persistence to the wishes of his late father, and finally perfected the theme: the former Eastern European communist countries forced their admiration and yearning for the United States.
