Cast : Tom Hanks, Catherine Zeta Jones, Stanley Tucci
Director : Steven Spielberg
When You see a Spielberg movie, which is not about dinosaurs or aliens or angry robots tearing a metropolitan city apart, you are just curious:) Then when you come to know that Tom Hanks is acting i it, you are excited, and when finally you see the movie, you are enthralled :D
Tom Hanks plays Victor Navroski a tourist from Krakhosia who just landed at the JFK Airport. He later finds out that his govt. was out-thrown by a military coup and his country didnt practically exist. So the Airport Supervisor, Frank Dixon(Stanley Tucci) has no choice but to keep him under house arrest at the airport till the government sorts out their issue.
The movie progresses on how Victor faces the obstacles and learns to live against all odds. He even Finds love....
The man who takes all the limelight is of course Tom Hanks. He adopts the role so intensely that it fits him like a second skin. Victor's Innocence attracts the audience and they begin to laugh and cry with him.Victor is portrayed as a simple man with all the insecurities and stubbornness.It is only due to Hanks' amicable portrayal that average climax seems so heart touching. He is just a joy to watch..
Spielberg is also to be credited for his approach. He carries the story with a lot of care, as a Caterpillar in a cocoon!Even in the 'neon-bathed' crowded airport, he shoots Victor with the empathy of a lonesome traveller in an unknown city. Also the lively supporting cast of the aiport workers were also quite brilliant, giving us a different picture of the airport.
It is a simple movie, with a simple story and yet it does the job quite brilliantly....
Rating : 4/5
