Delightfully Entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2013)

This was another great movie by 2 of Hollywood's best. Spielberg directing and Tom Hanks acting. Rather then trying to make a ground breaking movie with all the effects and editing he decides to do a simple movie that focuses on storytelling. It is nice to watch a movie where we see a movie that is about the moments between characters and the emotions that are shown and felt. A great piece of film that is able to be funny and entertaining enough to keep you interested. Tom Hanks plays a foreign traveler who becomes stranded in JFK after the country he is from breaks out in civil war and ceases to be a country. Since all this has happened Viktor played my Tom is not allowed to leave the airport. During his predicament he winds up making friends, a love interest and a rival. When he has his new adventure he ends up changing the lives of all those around him. This movies does a great job of being simple without really contributing much instead it becomes about just about the interactions of the different characters. It was interesting how he was able to make some kind of home for himself while he waits his fate. What made this even more incredible was that the airport was built from scratch since for security reasons were not allowed to film in a actual airport. This was a very charming film that leaves a lot for reflection. The looks were very beautiful and elegant it should be a must see for a film-goer.
