Question

Rating: Null/10 (15 November 2004)

I saw this movie a couple of times and really liked it, especially the acting. Tom Hanks is brilliant and the rest of the cast is very good, too. The first time I watched it, I was more focussing on the difficulty of Navorski's situation and the sad and sometimes cruel aspects it has. On the second viewing however, what struck me was Navorski's rather anarchic streak in adjusting to the situation.
There is one thing that really puzzles me, though: Where are all the other people who must have been on the same flight from Krakozhia? Navorski cannot have been the only person on board and presumably if his passport / visa are not valid for the reasons explained in the movie, than neither are those of any compatriots on the plane. Does anyone know the answer to this?
