Terminal, Kennan

Steven Spielbergs "The Terminal" hat eigentlich durchweg enttäuschte Reaktionen hervorgerufen. Hier mal eine glaubwürdige Gegenstimme. Von Vince Keenan, der in seinem Blog über Hardboiled-Literatur, Filme, Fernsehen schreibt:

It becomes obvious early on that Spielberg’s model for the film is the work of Charlie Chaplin, specifically MODERN TIMES. He’s making a gentle satire about a little man befuddled by the system, and his odd, small-scaled triumph against it. That might explain the movie’s lukewarm reception; perhaps that comic model doesn’t have much currency with critics and audiences any more.
