The Terminal |
| 2004 | |
| As
Viktor Navorski, a stolid, jazz-loving bachelor from Eastern Europe, Tom Hanks speaks only
a few words of English and walks with his feet turned out in a rapid waddle. He puts on a
good show in difficult circumstances: Viktor's tiny country has fallen into chaos, and
he's left stranded and stateless at JFK airport. For months, he sleeps in a lounge,
scrounges for food and work, and carries on a wan flirtation with a slightly masochistic
"stew" (Catherine Zeta-Jones) who is touched by his gentleness. Viktor's
nemesis, an ambitious customs bureaucrat (Stanley Tucci), tries to stymie him, but the
phantom of the terminal turns into a modern-day Robinson Crusoe, exercising his
resourcefulness not in the natural world but in a peculiar corner of Western consumer
society. "The Terminal" is essentially an exploration of the inner life of an
airport-the humming lights and glaring emptiness of the late-night lounges, the quirks of
the food-service and maintenance men who become Viktor's allies, suppliers, and then his
adoring fans. Steven Spielberg directs this fable with his customary fluency and warmth,
and the movie has some charming passages-a dinner party served by the maintenance men is a
highlight. Tom Hanks, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Stanley Tucci, and Chi McBride |
