The Terminal

Viktor Navorski, a man from an Eastern European country arrives in New York but after he left his country; war broke out and because of that Navorski is a man without a country that the U.S. cannot recognize, thus he is denied entrance to the U.S. However, he also can't be deported so he is told by the Security Manager that he has to remain in the airport until his status can be fixed. And also Navorski doesn't speak English well, so no one can talk to him and he can't talk to anyone. But he somehow adapts and sets up residence in the airport, which makes the man who placed him there unhappy cause, it seems he is line for a promotion but Navroski's presence might complicate that. So he tries to get Navorski to leave but Navorski remains where he is. Navorski makes friends with some of the people who work in the airport and is attracted to a flight attendant.


Although the whole story does not make sense, I have to say that it is interesting. Tom Hanks was wonderful as Viktor. He spoke with an accent throughout the movie. I know that Viktor wasn’t from a real country, but I am not sure if the language Viktor spoke at times was a real one or made up. Anyway, Hanks was very believable in his performance
