I am not quite sure whether we can recommend videos as well for the blog, but I was watching a movie this past week-end and I thought that it would interest some of you guys in some ways, if you haven't watched it yet. The tiltle is "The Terminal" starring Tom Hanks and Catherine Z. Jones.
It's about a visitor (Viktor, played by Tom Hanks) from Eastern Europe who was refused access through the Kennedy airport in NY to enter the US, due to a coup that erupted in his homeland while he was en route for the US. It became a complex situation as he refused to go back home and managed to live in the airport until the coup was over. The interesting part about it was that he was glancing at the city through the airport's gate , but he could not cross the gate. On which territory did he stay while being in the airport? I think it is an interesting take on the notion of border, and its complexity.
Hope some of you watch it!
