I can’t return to my dangerous home country, but I can’t go to New York, which I had tried to enter with my lofty dreams. Navosky is caught in the middle, unable to settle down on his own, like the space called the terminal where everyone is moving. I can’t help it. He decides to undress for a while at the airport.

Topic: America after terrorism…’Everything has fallen into place’

was produced in 2004 after the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States. The setting is New York’s JFK Airport, the heart of America, and Naborsky, a stranger, is forced to stay there against his will. The airport and the appearance of strangers naturally make us think about the American situation after the terrorist attacks. But surprisingly, the feelings of confusion or fear that Americans who experienced terrorism may experience are not detected in the movie at all. Rather, the film seems to be trying to ignore or console their own reality by watching the dire situation in Naborsky’s homeland from afar. In the end, it comes to the conclusion that ‘everything has fallen into place.’

Point of appreciation: The fictional world created by director Steven Spielberg

Navosky, the main character of , is a film that was inspired by the story of an Iranian man who actually lived at Charles de Gaulle Airport in France for 16 years. It is an entirely fictitious world created by director Steven Spielberg, with only the motif taken from it. The director, who realized JFK Airport 100% as a set, captures a portrait of the America he wants to see. The huge system called the airport seems to be running perfectly without any problems. However, a stranger from a third country named Naborsky suddenly settles into the space, throwing the airport into delightful chaos. But Naborsky is not an opponent to be defeated or antagonized. Rather, he is closer to a Spielberg-style hero character who breathes new vitality into the airport. This can especially be seen in scenes of solidarity between Navowski and airport workers. A representative example is the sight of everyone cheering together for Naborsky to succeed in his date with Amelia.

Director: Steven Spielberg

Steven Spielberg is the director who best represents American humanism in the Hollywood entertainment system and has been doing so for a long time. One piece of evidence is the human comedy genre. is a work that clearly had mixed likes and dislikes from critics at the time of its release. Nevertheless, what was commonly evaluated was that it was a ‘warm film’, which is rare among Spielberg’s films. Within the genre of human comedy, Spielberg portrayed the main character, Naborsky, as an intimate and likable character. Navosky is also a person who without hesitation becomes friends with airport workers of various races. Additionally, Spielberg has talked about the ‘home’ that one must constantly return to through his movies. The same goes for the aliens from who crash-landed on Earth, the story of Jews under Nazi rule, and the movie about African natives who suffered from the slave trade in the 19th century. It is a story about returning to the place where they originally belong, which represents their family, hometown, and homeland. The man who also lost his way for a while returns to his hometown, where he belongs, after a pleasant commotion.
