When I first saw the name of this dock, I kept guessing the story. I think this is a sad ending. After all, "happiness" has reached the end. What happiness can there be? Only after watching this movie did I know that the so-called "end point" is the arrival of happiness. The misunderstanding of names at first may be caused by thinking habits.
From the beginning, the film involves some sensitive issues, such as accusing China tourists of forging documents to get away with it. It seems thoughtless to name it like this, doesn't it? Playwrights should know that such a sensitive issue can't be published so publicly, right? But why did you broadcast it without hesitation? I think there should be a prototype of life at this point, so I won't talk about this issue here.
Aside from these slightly sensitive topics, I just want to talk about the experience of the protagonist Victor and some of my own views and feelings.
The film was interesting at first. As Victor has a little knowledge of English, he has a good sense of humor when talking with the airport manager. At that time, he did not know that his country had been in civil strife because of the war, and his motherland had disappeared in the political sense. When the manager explained it to him, he was still in a daze.
He seems to realize something. When he returned to the airport lounge, he saw a report about his country on the airport TV. Even though he doesn't know English, what he sees from the image is enough to make him understand that there is a war in his country. At that moment, he seemed to have lost his soul, and that kind of anxiety and fear swept through him. He has been running around the airport, trying to prove something. In my opinion, this may ease his anxiety. Finally, his heart broke down and he accepted the fact. You can imagine how helpless he was. In a strange country, he can't speak the local language, and even the most basic necessities of life are problematic.
At first, no one at the airport helped him. Even the government does not want to accept this "trouble". He has no choice but to wait for his country to end the war and regain his identity, and one day he can realize his promise.
Many plots in the film deeply touched me: First, when the airport administrator needed Victor to answer his fear of his country, he firmly said no, "This is my motherland and my home. Why should I be afraid?" It is such a simple sentence, which shows how persistent Victor is in his love for the motherland. No matter war, coup or civil strife can change the status of the motherland in his heart. The motherland will always be the motherland and always be home. The power of this obsession is enormous and nothing can change it.
Secondly, the staff in the airport, that is, the old cleaner and two other people, hated Victor at first, but as time went on, they gradually accepted him and got along with him, and gradually developed friendship. He helped one of the young people pursue the security girl and finally brought them together. This is also his kindness, although it is linked to his own interests.
Third, his work skills are still good, but the casual display allowed the construction workers to find him and solve his economic problems. He doesn't have to serve at the airport, and he doesn't have to ask the owner of the airport to give him a job. He solved the problem of life by his own ability. This spirit is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Fourth, because of the word "goat", he was completely accepted at the airport. His "goat" saved a son's filial piety, and his "goat" gave him accepted capital. His feat was deeply impressed on the hearts of airport staff. We can see that this society is not completely indifferent, and the communication between people is still very warm.
Fifth, when Victor was threatened by senior airport officials and prepared to punish his first three partners, he would rather give up his promise in order to protect his friends. He didn't want them to get hurt, much less because of him. So he gave up, but his friend died for him. Just because of his waiting and commitment. Give him more time to fulfill his promise.
We didn't know until later that Victor was just waiting for a promise. He made a promise from his dead father. With the help of everyone, he finally realized his promise.
There are many touching plots and many touching things. I'm just saying my opinion briefly, which may not be profound, but this is how I felt when I first saw this movie.

What is happiness? Happiness is a feeling, a happy and comfortable state of mind. According to the teacher's definition, happiness is directly the great happiness of life, and fundamentally it is the extremely happy psychological experience in which the great needs, desires and goals of life can be realized. Simply put, happiness is satisfaction. So the contented are always happy. However, the journey of life is not always smooth, and the setbacks encountered in the pursuit of happiness are just stepping stones. As long as we have a positive and cheerful sunshine mentality and unshakable faith, we can reach the other side of happiness. At this time, what we need to do is to smooth our impetuous heart, continue to work hard and persevere, because happiness requires patience.
In the movie Terminal, the hero Victor loses his nationality and his passport is invalid because of a violent coup in his motherland. He had planned to go to new york City to collect the signature of saxophonist Benny to fulfill his father's last wish, so he was forced to stay at JFK International Airport and couldn't go anywhere. The whole story revolves around this replica airport terminal, which is only two and a half stories high. However, it is this small terminal that fully shows Victor's positive, tolerant, grateful and sunny mentality.
Victor is a man who actively studies and dares to face difficulties. First of all, before he went to new york, he didn't know much about speaking English, but in order to fulfill his father's dream, he also got on the plane and prepared an English notebook to meet the needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation. When he arrived at Kennedy Airport in new york, he was told not to leave the international terminal. I don't know whether it's the language barrier or his optimistic attitude. He didn't get angry or complain, accepted the reality frankly and remained polite and sincere. Faced with the embarrassing situation of being almost detained in the waiting hall, Victor has always maintained a sunny attitude and found solutions to various problems and difficulties. There is no bathroom, so he brushes his teeth, washes his face and washes his hair directly in the bathroom with a towel. Without a bedroom, he made himself a "bed" with two rows of seats and tools in the waiting room at Gate 67. Without food rolls and money to buy food, he went to collect the passenger's cart and put it back in the cart for coins. How can he "live" in this waiting hall without a pair of observant eyes, a thinking brain, and his more important mentality of "don't complain and don't give up"? I believe this is impossible for everyone, not to mention how surprised Frank, the immigration officer at Kennedy Airport, was. In addition, Victor found a well-paid job in the terminal with his creativity and talent for painting walls. All these well illustrate Victor's optimistic attitude and simple and natural character.
Learn to wait and let Victor face any difficulties calmly. During Victor's nine months in the terminal, he waited patiently day after day, without anxiety or sadness, because he had a firm belief in his heart and always believed that the motherland would have a peaceful and stable day. Ignorant persistence is a bright spot of the winner. In the case of invalid passport, Victor still filled in the form again and again, in exchange for a seal of refusal. When looking for a job, after waiting for a phone call that he didn't dare to go to the toilet all day, he was told that the position had been occupied, but he showed no signs of being discouraged. On his way back to his "residence" to sleep, he came across a broken wall, so he was inspired to paint and decorate the wooden wall, and he got a job unexpectedly. I can't help but think of this sentence: God always favors those who are always ready.
In fact, Victor's kindness, compassion and dedication are admirable. In order to help an unknown Russian bring medicine to his sick father, he openly opposed the official Frank, but won the trust and admiration of all the airport staff. When peace was restored in his motherland and he could finally apply for a visa to new york, Frank threatened Victor to return home with the jobs of other airport employees. Undoubtedly, the kind Victor had to give up his promise to go to new york in order to protect the work of these employees who were regarded as friends. What impressed me was what Gupta, the cleaner, said to Victor at that time, "Are you kidding us? You made us believe that you would walk out of here and fight them. Why don't you fight them? Go home and tell them you didn't succeed. You were so far away from America, but you didn't even have the courage to come here. You are a coward. " The employees all know Victor's difficulties, but they just don't want him to wait here by plane for nine months and give up his original wishes for them. However, it was his deep affection and loyalty that touched all airport employees, and even the policeman who had worked for Frank stood on Victor's side and let him walk out of the door to new york safely. This really proves that good people are rewarded. Although at the end of the film, it seems a little regrettable that Victor is not with the beautiful stewardess Amelia, it shows Victor's courage to accept the reality, which is actually part of his sunny mentality.
People who have a sunny attitude are not without darkness and sadness, but their pursuit of sunshine will not be covered by darkness and sadness. Aristotle said that the essence of life lies in the pursuit of happiness, and there are two ways to make life happy: one is to find time to make yourself happy and increase it; Second, find the time that makes you unhappy and reduce it. People with a sunny attitude are full of expectations for the distance of life and feel that they have the ability to move forward step by step in that established direction. Although there are setbacks, failures and incomprehension in this process, even if you are caught in a predicament that ordinary people can't meet, you can be optimistic about what you encounter and find the motivation to move forward. Moreover, they will be good at thinking with positive thinking and looking for the simplest solution. For them, one existing problem is ten solutions.
To have a sunny attitude, we must learn to believe that hope will bring hope, that the sun will have brilliant sunshine, that there will be birds and flowers in spring, and that we can see gorgeous rainbows on sunny days.
Having a sunny attitude and facing life positively is the happiness of life.

The Terminal is a light comedy directed by Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks. The story takes place in the terminal of Kennedy International Airport. On his way to the United States, the protagonist Victor was involved in a coup in the motherland, the government was overthrown, his documents were not recognized by the American authorities, he was refused entry but could not return to China, so he had to stay at the airport.
When the director of the Customs Bureau told Victor that he was refused entry and had to stay in the transit hall, he didn't understand all this because he didn't know English. When he was in the transit hall, watching TV reports about the war in the motherland and watching the crowds coming and going, he couldn't help being at a loss for an instant. In fact, from the moment he got off the plane, he became an orphan without a country and a home, and became a victim of international political changes. 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, the documents he held were not recognized by the American authorities, and the flight back to his motherland was cancelled indefinitely, so he encountered an embarrassing situation of being refused entry but unable to return home.
Hanks said, "Victor's story is worth telling. If you think about it carefully, you will find that Victor's predicament is not far from reality. Imagine a person from a distant country. For one reason or another, the door to return home and enter the country was closed to him. The reason why I like this script is because the protagonist of the story knows the root of the dilemma and knows that his personal strength can't change the status quo at all, so he can only live as well as possible. "
Indeed, in the international political changes, the power of the individual is so small. In desperation, Victor can only stay at the airport, sleep in the chair in the lobby, take a bath in the bathroom and make a living by putting it back in the shopping cart. All he has is his illiberal body and a small suitcase, which contains a change of clothes, a razor, an invalid identification and a jar that he regards as a treasure. The airport is never a place to stay. People either enter or leave. Waiting seems unbearable, not to mention seemingly endless waiting. But it was such a place that Victor stayed for nine months. During this period, he helped the dutiful son get life-saving medicine for his old father, helped the Mexican guy working at the airport catch up with his beloved girl, and entered the airport construction team to make a living because of his excellent woodworking skills, and even fell in love ... Although his body was trapped at the airport, his emotions were free. He didn't sit there sighing his bad luck. For him, the world is hard to conquer, but he has been in it, just to earn a good life for himself.
Life is like never being anywhere else.
Waiting has become life itself. Waiting for the beloved girl, waiting for the country's stability, waiting to go to new york to fulfill my father's last wish-to get the final signatures of 57 jazz masters. At the end of the story, Victor only said "I want to go home" when sitting in a taxi with his signature, but I believe that these nine months of experience and feelings will not end so simply.
Sometimes I think life is just an airport. Regarding the entry and exit of irrelevant people, some people will make things difficult for you, some people will provide sincere help, and some people will give you good expectations ... Everyone has a destination in his heart, and the process before reaching the destination is called waiting. And when you learn to firmly believe that you will reach your destination, waiting becomes a kind of happiness.
Victor's life revolves around a promise and a wait, which he knows very well. The film didn't give him too much regret, because for love, as the heroine herself said, Napoleon gave Josephine a gift after the Battle of Waterloo-a gold pendant engraved with the word "life" on the back. He won Emily's love, but he was doomed not to get her. As for his dead father's promise, Victor fulfilled it. He waited at the airport for a long time before he got the signature of the music master his father admired. He rushed into Syracuse new york with the cheers of almost all airport staff, not for the freedom in the slogan of Americans, not for the pursuit of so-called democracy, but for fulfilling a promise that should have been completed.
At some point in our lives, each of us may be a bit like Victor, confused about where we are and then looking for it. I can't help thinking of the Count of Monte Cristo. At the end of the story, Dumas said a thought-provoking sentence: all the wisdom of human beings is contained in these four words-"wait" and "hope"! Isn't the terminal a good interpretation of this sentence?
Inspection of the wharf
What is the most terrible thing in life? I thought: it's waiting. Imagine: a person hesitates in the long wait, unable to grasp the future, unable to find a way out, and everything is submerged in the unknown. You can feel the relentless disappearance of time and life in your hands, but all you can do is wait. What a disturbing thing it is! The terminal is a waiting story.
The movie Terminal describes such a story. Victor, a small country from Eastern Europe, went to America to help his father realize an unfulfilled dream. From the time the plane took off to the time it landed at Kennedy Airport, a coup took place in his country, so Victor suddenly became stateless and could not enter or leave the country. Even though new york and the United States are only a few meters away, he can only wait in the waiting hall until his identity is clear.
This wait is nine months!
During the nine-month waiting, Victor didn't waste any time; He built himself a home to be rebuilt at Gate 67 with his own hands. With his own wisdom, he helped a Russian who bought medicine to save his father, arranged marriage, met romance and conquered a group of people who used to take him as a joke. When he left, the eastern European, who didn't speak the language at first, had moved the whole airport. 100 minutes of movies, except for the last few minutes, are almost concentrated in a very limited small space-the waiting hall of Kennedy Airport. However, in such a small waiting hall, Vito has touched us too much, including love for our country, friendship and love. Let's follow the footsteps of movies and understand the love, friendship and love that movies show us.
First, the most difficult thing for a person to give up when going abroad is his own country.
Vito comes from an ordinary small country in Eastern Europe. But in front of the rich Americans, he can still say "yes" without hesitation when talking about his motherland in the face of America's rich land. What kind of patriotism and national pride this is. Such a patriot suddenly heard the bad news when his words were difficult to communicate in a foreign country. His country has undergone great changes, and he has become stateless. How shocking. Even so, when airport managers tried to lure him to "smuggle" to the United States in order to reduce trouble, he hesitated when he stood at the door of the hall and looked at the prosperous land of the United States a few meters away. Finally, he chose to stay in the waiting hall. Compared with the United States, his motherland is just a little-known country, mediocre and even a coup took place. However, it is his motherland, and there is a saying that he is fucking ugly. Even if his country has seeds, it is by no means comparable to the United States. At the same time, what makes us sad is that we actually saw a group of well-dressed China people in the film. Just because the United States is rich, they abandoned their country and nation and crossed the ocean to sneak into the United States. This contrast, this contrast, makes people feel awkward!
Second, if you live overseas and meet close friends, you will treat them with sincerity.
Just when Vito was a stranger in a foreign land, unaccompanied and isolated, his strong support and perseverance touched everyone at the airport, from ordinary cleaners to every mall worker and construction worker at the airport, and all compassionate and caring people were deeply shocked by him. In his most difficult time, the food given to him by the construction workers and a little help from the cleaners brought warmth to the cold airport; When he was dating, his friends either took out the closet skills many years ago, or served as waiters, bringing them a little joke in love and a little sweetness to strange love. He reciprocated, and helped the construction worker who secretly loved Miss Zhang to hold the red rope. Perhaps, you will think that these are nothing, but when you see the old cleaner rushing to the landing plane with a broom, who else is not moved? No one knows that the honest old cleaner fled to America because he couldn't stand the oppression of India. If he is sent back to China, it will be a long imprisonment. Because of this, Vito would rather give up his nine-month goal than his father's last wish and let the old cleaner be considerate. However, just before Vito had no choice but to board the plane, just as he was preparing to return in vain, the old man rushed to the front of the plane with a mop in his hand and said "noonedietoday" in his broken English. It looks funny, what a sincere photo it is. At the risk of being sent back to China, the old cleaner used his body to stop the plane from taking off and bought Vito for an extra day. He would rather use him for a few years. In him, I think friendship is unbearable.
When Vito was about to leave the airport, the whole airport shook and a voice passed through the crowd. The guy with poor English is leaving. When people rushed out of the store and waved, there was a feeling of moving slowly brewing in the air and spreading slowly. Time, fixed at this moment, friendship, get the most profound explanation in this one.
Third, when you meet true love in other countries, it is most difficult to let go of the Iraqi people.
The sweetest highlight of the film is the love between Vito and flight attendant Amelia. Living in waiting, Vito spent nine unforgettable months in waiting, while Amelia spent ten years in waiting. Thirty-nine is a dying age, but Amelia waited until she was thirty-nine because she fell in love with a married man. Therefore, when two people who are waiting unexpectedly come together, sparks are generated at that moment, and life is illuminated at that moment. From then on, Vito tried hard to find a job just because he had to scrape together enough money to treat her to spaghetti. He carefully prepared and produced a work, waiting to surprise Amelia. Finally, on the day of reunion, tell her, "What gift did Napoleon give Josephine?" Look, this is it. "At that moment, Amelia's heart slowly melted in his warmth. Perhaps few people will fall in love with homeless children trapped in the airport, but Amelia is an exception. A troubled love, a magnificent song, a beautiful poem!
It's a pity that they didn't get together in the end. When Vito asked her why she gave up with eager eyes, Amelia said "fate" feebly. So, when Vito finished the long wait and realized the purpose of this trip, Amelia began another longer and more helpless wait. The two straight lines that meet in a hurry are separated again, and there is nothing more helpless in life.
I carefully reviewed Vito's footsteps, tasted his love, friendship and love for the country, and suddenly felt that waiting can sometimes get better. Yes, you can't change your fate while waiting, but you can change the waiting time because of Vito's insistence. The terrible waiting in life showed its beautiful side in front of him. Amelia didn't have the courage to challenge her fate, leaving her with only painful waiting. Therefore, as long as we persistently pursue waiting and never give up, we have reason to believe that the meaning of life is sometimes realized in waiting.

A few days ago, my roommate and I watched the movie Terminal in the park. After reading it, we were deeply touched.
It is said that director Spielberg likes to draw inspiration from reality, Schindler is a real person, and the terminal comes from real people.
The film tells the story of Victor Navoski (Tom Hanks) from Eastern Europe who came to the United States to fulfill his father's last wish-to collect the signatures of 57 jazz musicians. Unexpectedly, on his way to the United States, his hometown suffered a sudden coup, and the US government temporarily canceled his entry application. After he set foot on American soil, he could only stay at Kennedy International Airport with the passport of a non-existent country. He has been staying in the lounge of the airport, waiting for the day when the war in the motherland is over.
During his stay at the airport, Victor was tortured by Frank Dixon, an airport official. Dixon regards Victor as a thorn in his side, thinks he is a big trouble, and tries his best to solve him. However, this did not cause too much trouble to Victor. He still likes living in such a small space, observing people passing by here every day, discovering different people's lives, temperament and hobbies, making friends with various staff there and sharing their life experiences, and he also has a romantic love with the flight attendant Amelia. It can be said that Victor met everything in America at this airport. Finally, he realized his father's wish, but lost his love.
98% of the scenes in the film took place at the airport. From beginning to end, cartoons and touching things happened from time to time, which left us too many surprises.
Hanks, who looks down and out after gaining weight in the play, well describes the image of the hero: a little helpless, enjoying himself and versatile, but actually likes Victor. Perhaps this airport is the epitome of the whole American society. Here, many joys and sorrows are staged every day, and all kinds of people are performing their own lives here. Victor is trapped here, and he enjoys life alone, which not everyone can do. America is on the other side of the door. In fact, he can reach his destination in one step, but he doesn't. Although he wanted to go to new york at once, he knew what was illegal. His heart was not seduced by airport officials. He firmly believes in his own waiting, waiting for the day when his national war is over, waiting for the day when he can enter new york aboveboard and justifiably. As he said, you can either stamp the red stamp or the green stamp, which means I have a 50% chance to go to America. Victor's firmness and persistence are what we should learn.
At the end of the movie, the taxi driver asked Victor where to go. My nose ached when he said he was going home. He lost his personal freedom for a promise. Not only did he wait at the airport for nine months, but he also lost his new love. Now he can finally go home and return to his happy place. Perhaps the happy destination is the place people yearn for most.
Victor's experience moved me very much. Life is not static. In the face of the change of fate, all we can do is try our best to cater to it, keep ourselves active and don't despair because of anything bad. As long as you keep a positive and optimistic attitude and are good at observation, you will definitely find a lifestyle that suits you. After all, when God closes a door for you, he opens a window.
In those difficult days, the hero desperately sought job after job in order to survive. First he made a living by swinging carts, and then after many twists and turns, he was finally regarded as a construction worker by an engineer. In the meantime, airport officials stood in the way many times, and Victor didn't mind at all. At the same time, he helped a stranger board the plane with illegal drugs to save his dying father, thus ending the passenger riots.
In the play, Victor's sincerity and kindness won him the friendship and respect of all employees at the airport. At the airport, he was sad and happy.
Heroes are persistent. His persistence made him stay at the airport for nine months. His persistence made him fall in love with a young man and a female official. Because of his persistence, he didn't end up with the heroine, but they all found their own destination. In the end, the film only left room for a group of viewers who couldn't help feeling sorry and moved.
There is a very touching and shocking scene in the movie. When a cleaner learned that Victor had given up going to new york because of himself, the old man with a mop broke into the airport and staggered towards a plane taxiing on the runway. Finally, he raised the mop against the huge front wheel of the plane, and the old man was finally taken away by the police. The old man did this to let the hero enter new york without being threatened by airport officials. This incident indirectly tells us that we should help those who need help at ordinary times, so when we need help, others will step forward. The spirit of the old man is also respectable. He fled for 23 years to avoid seven years of sanctions. His 23 years on the run must have been hard, but he endured it. Finally, for the firm commitment of his friends to his father and the sincerity of his friends, he resolutely chose prison life, which is firm and peaceful, great and eternal.
However, after being moved, I found that the price paid by the hero in order to realize his promise to his father was too great, but the hero was willing. I think this is the great love between father and son, and it is the affection reflected by sticking to the promise.
I think this is a very successful film. Although it is a comedy, it reflects the theme of the film and tells us a lot of truth by telling a person's story. Let us know more about the kindness, persistence and sincerity of human nature while moving. The film seems to indirectly tell us that as long as we treat others sincerely and kindly and hold a firm attitude towards things, we will definitely find and reach our own The Terminal.
