TIVO發揮她的作用了
(我的東西都是女生 都很難真的了解她們 不過還好她們不勾心鬥角 ^^)
電視送修回來後
我看了這部已經錄在硬碟裡好久的電影
這故事大家應該都知道...
Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks), a man from the fictional country of Krakozhia arrives at New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, only to discover that during the flight his country’s government has been overthrown by rebels when they attack, and his passport is invalidated, leaving him stranded. Over the next nine months, Viktor is forced to live in the terminal building, unable either to set foot into the United States or to go home. He befriends the staff at the terminal, including airline stewardess Amelia Warren (Catherine Zeta-Jones), whilst being under the watchful eye of Immigration Officer Frank Dixon (Stanley Tucci), who wants the ”Navorski problem” removed from the airport.
Tom Hanks as Viktor NavorskiOne day, Viktor explains to Amelia that the purpose of his visit to New York City is to collect an autograph of the jazz tenor saxophonist Benny Golson. His father, who has died, was a jazz enthusiast. He had discovered the ”Great Day in Harlem” photograph in a Hungarian newspaper in 1958 and had written to all the people featured on the photograph, asking them for an autograph. All of them had replied, except Benny Golson. Viktor wants to collect this last one to fulfil his father’s dream.
A few months later, the news reports that the war in Krakozhia is over, but Dixon will still not allow Viktor to enter the United States. Amelia reveals that she had asked her ”friend”, actually a married government official with whom she had long been having an intermittent affair, to assist Viktor in obtaining permission to travel within the U.S., but Viktor is disappointed to learn she has renewed her relationship with the man during this process.
To make matters worse, Dixon needs to sign the form granting Viktor the right to remain in the United States, but refuses, instead deciding to deport him out of spite. Thanks to the timely interference of the friends Viktor has made during his stay in the terminal, he is allowed to leave the airport. As Viktor prepares to take a taxi to the Ramada Inn, 161 Lexington Avenue, in New York, where Benny Golson is performing, he observes Amelia exiting from a cab, where she gives him a wistful smile. He attends the show and collects the autograph. After the show he tells the taxi driver he wants to go home, thus leaving the audience to wonder if he’s referring to the airport terminal or Krakozhia.
我對交通路線兩端的集散點
機場(空港) 港口(海港)總是很有興趣
通常這種地方幅員廣大且單位眾多
所以在機場找個地方過夜應該不是難事
大學時有陣子我們熱切討論在校園(非宿舍內)過夜的可能性
但冒險之於大多數的人 範圍僅止於腦袋裡
後來只有Kevin一個人真的在系學會過了一晚
進出的樓梯入夜後可是鐵門深鎖的
長夜漫漫
我猜對面的女生宿舍 應該就是最好的慰藉吧!? ^^
片中機場官員的那種樣子 與我接觸過的民航局的官員 如出一轍
’不求有功 但求無過’是最高準則
把麻煩人物趕出自己管轄的領域
和號稱不殺生 把害蟲趕去別人家的信徒有何不同?
所幸片中還有介紹到jazz薩克斯風手 Benny Golson (真有其人)
機場內有個迷人的地方是空廚
雖然很多人抱怨飛機上的食物不好吃
空服員也會以’餵豬’的暱稱來稱呼供食服務
但空廚可是嚴密控制食物處理符合 HACCP(危害分析重要管制點)
保證吃了空廚食物不會拉肚子!
(HACCP最早是NASA為太空人創立的標準,
試想一下... 太空人在54321發射升空後,突然想要嗯嗯...)
不只機場內每個旅人都有故事...
我喜歡早晨上班前從McDonalds玻璃帷幕看出去
看著每個行人
總會發現些外表很有故事性的人
明明不冷 卻戴著圍巾的男人 (應該是心愛的人送的圍巾吧!?)
帶著皮箱 行色匆匆的女人 (趕著送去給007?)
...
本片關鍵字--WAIT
台詞有...
’what are you waiting for?’ (真的要我說?)
’誰會在灰色地帶一直等?’ (有時我就是這樣死腦筋)
宣傳海報上的...
’Life is waiting...’ (Yes, it is!)
除了賺錢 把妹 交朋友...
waiting的時候 你會做些什麼呢?
