Steven Spielberg's most lighthearted and underrated film I really love this little light gem of a film!

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2015)

After Catch Me If You Can Steven Spielberg makes his most lighthearted film for a long time I love this lovely film about finding your destiny and discovering what you have missed out on in your life despite the fact Viktor Navorski is trapped in an airport until his country called Krakozhia sorts out the war in their country he has to discover and explore the world he inhabits like the passengers and staff who work on the Terminal Like Gupta and Enrique and Officer Torres who looks after border control and immigration control, When Viktor meets Amelia Warren played beautifully by Catherine Zeta Jones a beautiful romance starts to develop but it really doesn't flourish until the end when Amelia really understands why Viktor wants to go to New York so Viktor can get the last signature on a can of jazz photographs for his father who has died and Viktor has made a promise to his father that he will not break, That's why the film is so beautifully light and entertaining because it is never revealed until the very end of the film the Audience is kept waiting and asking why Viktor is so desperate to go to New York and when it is revealed why he wants to go to New York it tugs at the heartstrings I love the light positive messages of the story there are so many wonderful scenes and performances Tom Hank's performance is one of slapstick comedy and wonderful visual comedic looks or glances Stanley Tucci's performance is so deliciously evil as Frank Dixon but my favourite performance has to be Zoe Saldana as Officer Torres just really lovely and beautifully touching and really fun too she has a ball being funny in Immigration Control shouting Next Next all the time, but when she is with Viktor explaining the rules to him you can tell she really wants Viktor to succeed in his quest, So does Amelia in a way there's a lovely couple of romantic exchanges as she tries to ask him out to dinner and then she goes I can not believe I have just asked you out to dinner, Finally Viktor has Enough money to afford a Hugo Boss suit in order to take Amelia out to dinner in a lovely scene where the staff at the terminal pour drinks or juggle hoops it's a lovely scene and the scene where they declare their love for each other after Viktor constructs a beautiful fountain made out of diamonds for her is so beautifully romantic and stunningly heartfelt so poignant, when Viktor finally is allowed to leave the terminal and go to New York they exchange final romantic looks at each other when she Knows his guest is finally fulfilled is so beautiful and really sweet! The direction is so lovely you can see Steven Spielberg is enjoying making the film and the infectious charm comes through in the direction and the unforgettably lovely score by John Williams it is the best score by John Williams I think he has ever composed for a film it is perfection and the perfect musical accompaniment for the lovely tone of the film it is a lovely score with beautiful themes for Viktor and Amelia and the staff of the terminal played on Clarinet and Accordion just lovely and beautifully feel good and happy infectious too makes me happy If you do not feel happy after hearing the music for the film you have no heart and joy in you! The most happiest film Steven Spielberg has ever made just amazing and wonderfully feel good the sort of film you can watch on a Sunday Afternoon with a cup of tea and a biscuit just a lovely film really underrated and completely overlooked by everybody I love this film it is a lovely lovely film of joy and happiness Thank you Steven Spielberg for directing a lovely lovely film and most importantly Thank You John Williams for this lovely lovely infectious score, If you have not seen this lovely lovely film give it a try and enjoy the feel good charm the film infects on you, Love love this film!
