Something New

Rating: 9/10 (25 June 2004)

Spielberg has taken a new step to making movies. He had never made a movie like this one in fact nobody had. "The Terminal" is a story about Victor Navorski, who is a tourist to New York City, from a fictional country called Krakosia(probably from the Polish city Krakow). On his way to the US, a war breaks out in his homeland. The US custom department would not allow him to enter American soil. He is forced to stay in the JFK's international transit lounge till the war comes to an end. He finds a job. He makes new friends. Plays as matchmaker. Helps a Stranger. And finally discovers America. This movie is acted almost everyday by visitors around the world, if not 9 months but to some extent. Reality is one of the strong points of this movie. And I think this makes the movie Great!
