The Terminal

Why is Stanley Tucci pissed off that Tom Hanks helped the Russian guy with the Goat loophole for the medicine, when he's spent the entire movie looking for loopholes to get Tom Hanks out of the airport.

i dont know but this movie makes me want Burger King

For some reason, I always think this movie is directed by Spielberg.

Back when you could buy it for less than a dollar.

That's the movie's whole reason for existing. That and for future generations to know how much $5.50 got you at a Burger King restaurant in the early 2000s.

For some reason wikipedia agrees with you.

reminder that in stark contrast with the lovable victim as portrayed by tom hanks in this movie the irl guy was some shady criminal sandnigger who'd rather live in a french airport for 20 years then go back to his shithole country to get his hands chopped off

he could've gone home anytime but he refused

It was based on a true story if a man from the Persian Soviet Socialist Republic, but they white washed it for some reason.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehran_Karimi_Nasseri

Mehran Karimi Nasseri(Persian:مهران کریمی ناصری,pronounced[mehˈrɒnkæriˈminɒseˈri]; 1945 – 12 November 2022), also known asSir, Alfred Mehran,[2]was an Iranianrefugeewholived in the departure lounge of Terminal 1inCharles de Gaulle Airportfrom 26 August 1988 until July 2006, when he was hospitalized. His autobiography was published as a book,The Terminal Man, in 2004. Nasseri's story inspired the 1993 filmLost in Transitand the 2004 filmThe Terminal. He returned to living at the airport in September 2022, and died there of a heart attack in November 2022.

It seems like 15 years after he stopped being relevant he spent the last two months of his life hopping up and down waving his arms in the midst of the Covid era yelling "look at me, look at me! I'm the Tom Hanks movie guy! Remember me!"

Funny you say that because that almost sounds like Gupta's (indian janitor's) story in the film.

Except he says India would give him as little as 7 years for attempted murder of a police officer, which he willingly subjects himself for to help a stranger's ambiguous dream when coming home to his family was insufficient incentive.

How did he shower? He always looks so clean. You can't do that with sinks can you?

the construction scene was so fucking stupid
actually this whole movie is terrible, easily Spielbergs worst movie

I was confused by the ending.
Tom Hanks is told by the Jazz musician guy to wait, and we see the musician play music for a minute or two, and then we see Tom Hanks walk out of the Hotel ready to go home with a brochure that seems to have the signature.

Did he really get the signature off camera, or is it one of those photocopies of a signature, like political brochures that get mailed to you with a photocopied signature of your local mayor or whatever?

the construction scene was so fucking stupid

I didn't think so, but then maybe I'm stupid.

Please explain the stupidity, so I can laugh at it with you, and cease my own stupidity.

Was the original title "Unacceptable"?
That word is said conspicuously 3 times throughout the film, like it's a title drop.

The first time, Stanley Tucci tells Tom Hanks he is unacceptable.

The second time, black lady ("NEXT!") explains to Tom Hanks that he is "unacceptable"

The third time we see airport roastie seem to quote Tom Hanks saying something along the lines of "What's your excuse? You were 'unacceptable', right?" but it's a weird setup-payoff since we never see her exposed to the word "unacceptable" on camera. Sure, it's easy enough to believe it could have happened off camera, but it's jarring.

Also, the romance between the mexican lunch dude, who looks like either Diego Luna or Pedro Pascal is weird.

The pay-off of seeing "NEXT!"-lady do the vulcan hand greeting is pretty gay and weak, since it's the pay off to a single scene in which she is off camera, in which the movies TELLS not SHOWS us that she is into Star Trek.

There is one scene that seems awkwardly editted, in which Tom Hanks is chasing Airport roastie, and then he just stops. It feels like something was cut out of the movie.

duhhhh your passport is from a country that stopped existing 12 hours ago!!?!

omg we have no idea what to do!!

you put him on a plane to the place he came from
how was this even a movie, what a retarded premise (yes I know about the mentally ill muzzie)

It's this scene right here. Tom Hanks is chasing airport roastie, and THE INSTANT after she says "you don't have to explain" Tom Hanks seems to uncharacteristically gives up, after being persistent throughout the movie and even throughout that scene.

It's so abrupt it has to be a deleted scene.

cause it's a shitty overrated movie

>duhhhh your passport is from a country that stopped existing 12 hours ago!!?!

>omg we have no idea what to do!!

I like movies where the conflict comes from people slavishly following retardedly pedantic bureaucratic rules.
Like how Saul Goodman tells people who are threatening to kill him to place a dollar into his pocket, just so he can pedantically tell the truth that he was legally acting as their lawyer later on, or when Kim Wexler demands Saul shove a dollar in her pocket, so she can warn him of something.

but without getting caught up in discussing Better Call Saul, what are other kinos about pedantically following the rules to absurd lengths?

Stanley Tucci looks like the janny meme if you paint him yellow and give him big ears.

middle man moderator paid less than $19/hour

complains about being stuck here for life.

petty and vindictive

lopsided enforcement of the rules

The distracting thing is that it literally features a power hungry indian janitor as well.

It's not an airport's responsibility to deal with that. It's bureaucratic government bullshit which is why Stanley Tucci's character specifically wants him to leave the airport: so he'll be someone else's problem.

Because of the goat scene, Tom Hanks character is called "THE GOAT" almost a full decade before G.O.A.T. was a euphemism for Greatest of All Time.

This black dude is literally just called Hug.
Is that a normal name for black dudes? I wouldn't even think it's a normal name in the hood. It's almost like they were slapping random words on the name tags and you weren't meant to read them.

bizarre thread

It's also a simp/cuck movie.
Pedro Pascal looking mexican proposes marriage to a woman he's never even spoken to, and Tom Hanks goes to great lengths to impress a used up roastie, who's been pumped and dumped by other men.
When Stanley Tucci says "why go with this man, when you could have any man you want?" I could only think "women fuck up and marry down. Men fuck down and marry up. Duh." especially since her character is introduced with her being dumped by a married man, and she reminisces with Tom Hanks the sloppy seconds, of how great rich fuck sex was.

go back to facebook you old fuck

What specifically is "bizarre" about my thread anon-kun?
i thought this guy looked like Bryan Cranston from Breaking Bad

You'd be amazed at how clean you get from using a sink, some soap and a good rag to scrub with. There are people walking around who just stand in a shower and do no scrubbing beyond putting shampoo in their hair and running their hands over their body to get rid of the residue. They're way less clean than your ancestors who made do with a bowl of warm water and a linen rag for their morning ablutions.

The lighting here is really bad. It's almost like Spielberg because a teenager who thought extra brightness made the scene extra cinematic.

Because hes an asshole boss in a movie

The ending shows a bunch of people excited to greet Tom Hanks on his way out, but black lady who already thinks he's leaving to his home country, doesn't give a fuck about seeing him off, until she's told he's leaving the front doors to America. If she is gonna miss him too much, what difference does it make if he's leaving for home, or leaving for America?

Every word on this sign is a CITY.
Krakozhia is the only COUNTRY name on that list.

zoomer thinks a term became a thing in the 2010s because that's the first time he heard it

Many such cases! Sad

anon thinks he can gaslight people into thinking that people were calling eachother the G.O.A.T. back in the 1980s.

okay, fake boomer

Pedro Pascal looking mexican proposes marriage to a woman he's never even spoken to

Was the ugly guy who plays Gupta, chosen for his willingness to risk his life for this scene, or was it a stunt man?

Wait, it's not Robert Zemeckis?

No that's Back to the Future, anonkun

Can you stop Incel posting for 5 seconds when you talk about this movie?

I had this album on cassette tape it's that old
do you even know what a cassette is?

Music stores have never sold VHS cassettes, millennial. Just shut the fuck up.

get called out on stupid belief

OH SHIT BETTER ACT EXTRA STUPID AND FAGGY SO THEY THINK I WAS TROLLING ALL ALONG, NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW

classic ruse

Music stores have never sold VHS cassettes

But that's where I bought my NIN tape

Andor guy was in it.
LOL.

Bitch, suncoast music had a whole wall of anime vhs. Thats where you got anime from before the internet.

probably they are also the names of the airports

why didnt he just sneak out of the airport and letting himself getting arrested and deported?

I simply like movies about folksy out of touch foreigners using their skills to charm and shame modern urban people and elites.
