A truly amazing film. Just saw it today. I cant really say what its about, butcause its about so manythings, but in a nutshell, its Victor's life in the terminal, how he survived, the people he met, and how he finally got to breathe american air, and touch american sidewalk. Tom Hanks does a superb job of portraying the forigner, who can only understand a few things at the start of the film, but later learns to speak english quite fluently. The crew actually constructed a real-life terminal, the only set that was constructed for the film. If You havent seen this film, see it. It was well worth the matinee bargin price.
