This movie describes very well the daily lives of many who are homeless, or at any circumstance have missed the flight and has to sleep for a few days away from home, such as the subway, airport etc ...
ResponderEliminarIt is one of the issues so it is good to know languages, to communicate in different circumstances and places.
I to like the film, it is a situation that can happen to ourselves tomorrow.

In the tightly controlled airports have the reason or reasons for visiting a country and that is fine with me because anyone can not get for nothing in your country. If you plan to visit, work, transport ... I feel good, but many people try to hide in other countries other than their own for "personal reasons". This film is not the case because the only problem with this gentleman esque not speak English and therefore has to be at the airport as it can survive and eventually learns English by watching some TV, but not much use.
ResponderEliminarAs far as Steven Spielberg's new blockbuster, "The Terminal," is concerned, the experience of being trapped inside an airport for a year can lead to friendship, comic high jinks, and even romance.
ResponderEliminarBut it's hard to see the life of Mehran Karimi Nasseri through Spielberg-colored glasses. Mr. Nasseri is the inspiration for the movie - a real-life Iranian refugee who arrived at Paris's Charles de Gaulle Airport in 1988 without a passport and without papers to enter another country. He's been stuck in Terminal One ever since. Like a lost and battered suitcase, he has been claimed by no one.

ResponderEliminarthe movie called terminal is a parody in which the actor is thrown for
a time in the airport trying to get back to his country but workers do
not leave the airport. there are some scenes that are gracios but most
not funny because it is a reflection of what is happening today in the
world. the movie in general is good and I liked the trailer we saw.
