The Terminal

03:40:00

America the land of immigrants! Over the last couple of hundreds of years, there were millions of those who wanted to fulfill their own American dream. They came on ships, on planes, willingly with high hopes for the new life or having no other choice in the impoverished homelands where potatoes were scarce. Some of them were forced to name another country their country, squeezed in slave ships if they managed to survive inhumane conditions and diseases.
The same journey is still taken by millions for more or less the same reasons. For some, the conditions changed, but seeing the ships of immigrants from Africa, not necessarily so. Once you step on a new land, you meet new people, you have to learn the language and the paradoxes of the legal system. You blend in and prove that you can be considered a worthy human being regardless of your origin. This is a perfect scenario. Imagine, however, a situation when arriving at your destiny imprisons you for an indefinite time and there's no turning back. One man, due to a military coup in his home Krakozhia, was stuck at an airport. Without a language, he was able to win the hearts of the airport's employees, and ours, giving hope that strangers can be your family and some places in the world you can call home. The Terminal.

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
