The movie is about a man who upon arriving in the United States becomes stateless because his nation has fallen in a coup.

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2016)

The idea of filming an entire film at an airport, the simplicity of the protagonist superbly played by Tom Hanks and the brilliant direction by Steven Spielberg makes The Terminal one of the finest movies made so far. The Terminal is a lightweight movie. It doesn't get into any deep discussion on the human condition but it still manages to show how love can break the barriers of language and regionalism to bond people so strongly. The cast is great and all of them have delivered commendable performances. The writing offers enough laughter and some touching moments. One negative aspect of the film is the littering of product advertisements in nearly every scene.
To sum up, Spielberg, his actors and writers have woven the movie into a crowd-pleasing and entertaining film about humanity and heart, that creates sympathy for all its characters through its entire flow and leaves the viewer unreasonably happy at the end. I will rate this movie 9/10 and will highly recommend it to those who haven't watched it yet.
