The Terminal - 3

This is a sub-par Spielberg film. It has some funny moments, but is a travesty of a story based on true events. Just whne you think something is going to develop plot-wise, you get thrown for a loop and something else starts to develop, etc. The only somewhat redeeming quality is that it picks up on the Spielberg theme of lost boys (e.g. A.I., E.T. Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Saving Private Ryan, etc). But instead of the characters finding a home and a place in the world, they are left with alienation. All the characers leave the terminal in their seperate ways still searching for something more, when that something more was right in front of them. This death of distance has only contributed to our being lost in the cosmos, rather than imagining and building a true home.
