Default The Terminal

Went and saw it today, it was a good movie. Good acting and directing, definately something to buy on dvd. Its one of those movies that makes you realize that perseverance pays of and sometimes taking the easy way is not the best way to go when you know in your heart what is right.

Trivia: from www.imdb.com

Inspired by the story of Merhan Nasseri, an Iranian refugee. In 1988, he landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport near Paris after being denied entry into England because his passport and United Nations refugee certificate had been stolen. French authorities would not let him leave the airport, and there stayed, in Terminal One, a stateless person with nowhere else to go. He has since been granted permission to either enter France or return to his own country. He instead chooses to continue to live in the terminal and tell his story to those who will listen.

I didn't see it that way. More like luck.

It was a decent movie but the ending sucked majorly.

BTW Merhan was offer citizenship by Belgium or Sweden, but he wanted to go to the UK (I think) so he turned it down.
