The Terminal is a good film which shows the meaning and beauty in our life about waiting and promise.

 Amelia is waiting for her dream to come true for eighteen years, for herself.

Navorski's dad was waiting for something he honored so much for his life.

 Navorski waits for making his father's left dream come true, for fulfilling his promise, for the woman he fell in love, for his freedom to go back to his country.

 He has done everything for others around him. If there is a great example of "egoless", he is the one, and the special one. 

  Letting go ego is the greatness that even Amelia found out when she gives up and scarifies something most important in her life to help Navorski.

 This simple story conveys some wonderful philosophy for people living in this country busy around everyday for business, families, and so on, to slow down and reflect on something. 

Tom Hanks did an excellent job, because he managed to show the world, how all Eastern Europeans over 50's feel when they go in United States. It would be very stressing, confusing and even shocking for a man coming from deep countryside of eastern country, who has never seen such a big airport, TVs everywhere(his first reaction was to try to turn the volume up manually), with very poor English, and on the top of all his country is in war and he is forced to live at the airport, where he must survive without any support, money and a lack of any kind of information(absence of interpreter).

 The thing I liked the most, is that with Victor Navorski, is shown the typical for Eastern Europe compassion, understanding, inventiveness, integrity, frank communication and simply to be friendly. Although Navorski knew that he will cause himself a lot of troubles by helping the Russian guy that he hadn't known, he lied to save him. 

In Eastern Europe, the people are not always kind and polite, but most of the time, they are sincere, real friends and help each other without looking for any kind of benefits. They keep their promises and will never betrayed their friends. That's why he decided to leave the USA without getting in New York and carry out his mission, just because he could put his friends in danger.

 On the other hand, the typical American behavior is also very well present. The security chief was always falsely smiling and polite, but in fact, he was cruel, heartless and the only thing he was caring about is how to get rid of him. When he caught the Russian guy with the pills, he didn't show any compassion, humanity or understanding, but only the stupid regulations were important. He didn't try to make even one step to find a better solution of the problem.

I think that the conclusion is that we should make, is to look more like Navorski , to be honest, real, true friends, to help each other and care a bit more about the others people's feelings, to show some more mercy and compassion.

 The personal prosperity, success and wealth should not make us selfish and blind. Open our eyes, look around us and think what would it be, if all these people were our friends instead of our rivals or foes
