Great Deep meaning

Rating: Null/10 (19 June 2004)

I have read reviews of this movie hearing it was shallow. To me Tom Hanks and Spielberg cannot make a shallow movie! Maybe if you look at just the plot and not really watch the movie, but it can get very deep. This is about an immigrant who is stuck in a terminal and must make due with his resources. He doesn't complain about his situation but figures out ways in which to live. When he made his bed out of chairs, got money, had food, and used the shops for personal needs. It's like a Zen Master, be in the present moment and you will have everything you need when you need it. If Viktor would have complained about his position those 9 months would have been a horrible experience and he wouldn't have been able to do the things he did.
If you haven't yet seen the movie, go see and watch it in that sense, if you have, go and see it again and watch it from that perspective. I think that is what Spielberg was trying to say, "Be in the present moment and you will have everything you need when you need it"
