Amazing!

Rating: Null/10 (7 November 2004)

This movie is awesome. Right now I'm going to be writing an essay on ethics and morality and this movie came to mind. But when I looked it up, I was surprised to see so many negative comments.
This movie was great. I know many people say that but hear me out. I usually find something wrong with any movie: point out plot faults, notice discrepancies etc. And I'm not saying that this movie was flawless. What I'm saying, is that this was the only movie that I have watched in a long while that I thought was, plainly put, 'amazing.' I don't really go to the movies, preferring to watch everything when it comes out on VHS or DVD. And when I do go, I only go once. This was the only movie ever that I went to see twice. It might be nothing to some people but to me it says a lot.
I think everyone should see it because I believe that it will become a classic as years go by. Inside this simple, seemingly predictable movie, is an inspirational and thought-provoking situation. We experience both joy and sorrow, unexplained fear and childish delight, as we follow Tom Hanks through his stay at the terminal. This movie speaks out to its viewers in a way that can not be described, just felt. I cried when I saw the movie - which says a lot as well.
I understand that people are entitled to their own ideas - that's the principle that I live by. But to name this movie as the worst, the baddest and the most plain is to do it greatest injustice. This movie has many lessons in it: one of them to never give up and, to quote Shakespeare, "to thy own self be true."
So, to finish this, I urge everyone to see this movie (and for those who didn't like it the first time - to see it again ;-)) and judge it not for its 'stupid' jokes and plain scenes, but for its deeper meaning.
