During his stay at the airport, Victor had only two choices: either to return to the motherland or to immigrate to the United States with valid documents. However, after the coup in his country, his certificate was not recognized by the American immigration authorities, and his certificate was obviously invalid. So he met the embarrassing situation of being refused entry but unable to return to China. Standing in this country that doesn't belong to him, Victor can't help but feel confused when he looks at strangers coming and going. In desperation, he can only stay at the airport, sleep in the chair in the hall, take a bath in the bathroom and make a living by serving passing passengers. All he has now is his illiberal body and a small suitcase, which contains a change of clothes, a razor and an invalid ID card. ?

By chance, Victor met the beautiful stewardess Amelia (Catherine Zeta-Jones? Decoration). Amelia unconsciously fell in love with Victor and was puzzled by her thoughts. Victor started looking for a job in order to have dinner with Amelia, and gradually she fell in love with this exquisite and simple man. a

The drama of "a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise" was thus staged. ?

Nine months later, the war was over and peace was restored to his country. He finally entered the United States and fulfilled his father's last wish. During this period, he made three good friends, and his kindness and persistence touched the airport staff and stores.

A crash course in American culture at the airport.

Its plot setting is worth pondering: almost all the story happened in an airport, and the protagonist could not enter the destination country or return to the starting point because of an accident, so he could only "stay" at the airport; As for being good-looking, it is not only because of Tom Hanks, a great general, but also because Spielberg is very good at dealing with stories in limited situations. ?

Please be prepared, this will not be the Spielberg film you usually know, but according to the famous film critic Kirk Hanicott (Kirk? Honeycutt), which is why it is so charming. ?

Script: Airport crash course in American culture?

Victor, the protagonist of The Terminal, has an unusual ability to take things as they are: when he found that his passport was invalid because his country had been destroyed by the war, he could not enter the United States, let alone return home, he settled down at new york Kennedy Airport with peace of mind. ?

"Victor completely experienced American culture in the limited space at the airport," said Tom Hanks, who plays Victor.

Terminal stills (20)? There seems to be a hint in the speech. "One of the reasons why this script attracts me is that our country is undoubtedly in a quite interesting period now. This story touches on some key issues in China in a very interesting way. " ?

Production: build an airport and borrow a Boeing 747?

The films of Steven Allan Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta-Jones should not be underestimated. In fact, the film itself does require huge production costs. ?

As we all know, after "9. 1 1", the security measures at American airports have become more and more strict. It is tantamount to dreaming to shoot a whole movie at Kennedy Airport. To this end, the scene designer Alex mcdowell (Alex? McDowell) specially designed and built an airport with the same size and full functions as a real airport! ?

Most of the filming of the whole film was done in this simulated airport, and a small part was filmed at Mirabel Airport in Montreal, Canada. The evidence is that when the old Indian man Gupta rushed to the United Airlines flight, all the planes in the background were Air Canada? Deal. For this crucial scene, the crew also borrowed a genuine Boeing 747 from United Airlines! ?

Mcdowell and Spielberg have appeared in Minority Report before. The simulated airport was built in a valley in California, and it took 200 technicians and workers 20 weeks to complete. ?

In order to present the "melting pot of American culture", the producers also invited many businesses to open stores in this simulated airport. In the end, 35 companies took root in this airport, including Swatch Watch and American Express. Express delivery), Starbucks and so on. Some businesses (such as Starbucks) even deploy employees to "show off" and really do business in this simulated airport. Even companies that employ extras as shop assistants have conducted surprise training for these extras so that they can act like real employees. "Every merchant will set up design elements such as lighting in the store according to their own needs, which is a very complicated process." Mcdowell said.
