The Terminal (2004)
Heart-warming. That's what you get when you combine Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. That's just how the formula works.
I'm a long time Spielberg fan. He was my first favourite Director. I'm sure it started with E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial (1982) and grew from there. For a while I lost a little of my love after he went off on different tangents like Minority Report (2002), but its the wonderful touching (I guess you could say, family) movies that I really love Spielberg for. The Terminal is certainly one of those.
Tom Hank's character Viktor is of course what holds this movie together, the secondary character is the Airport Terminal. Its just a wonderful amazing set, and I love watching the DVD Special Feature on how its built almost as much as I like watching the movie.
Apologies, I don't feel very inspired today. All I can think is just how nice this movie is. Its just nice. I don't think that's a bad thing at all.
Oh I can't finish without mentioning Stanley Tucci. He hits it out of the park in his role as the Director of Customs and Border Protection. He's always amazing in every movie he's in and doesn't get nearly enough credit for it.
So I'll dedicate this viewing to Stanley Tucci. I raise my glass to you Sir.
