Hurrah, here’s a film I’ve been looking forward to!
It stars Tom Hanks and is based on a true story I’d read about once in The Times. Basically an immigrant has been living at Charles De Gaulle Airport in France since 1988, he is stateless and now basically lives his life in Terminal 1 eating free food given to him by the Airport staff who know him as if he’s a colleague.
In the Film, Hanks lands in America and instead finds himself stateless, his home country being dissolved through a bitter war. His character is obliged to live in the airport observing the lives of those around him.
I’ll watch any film if it has Tom Hanks in it. Even if this film claims not to be based on the Iranian immigrant’s story I have to say the film must take some inspiration from it and I’ve been looking forward to its release ever since I read it was going to be made.
Later
John
