미국 공항이 배경이된 영화라고
토익(LC) 공부하기에 좋다고 하길래
오늘 시간내서 본 영화 바로 The terminal 입니다.
스필버그 감독이 만들었군요.
단지 영어 공부뿐만이 아니라 실화를 바탕으로
만든 영화인지 너무나 재미있었습니다.
또한 잔잔한 감동까지 전해지니 일석삼조인 것 같습니다.
제가 고른 영화 명대사는
Tom Hanks :
You have two stamp. Green one and red one
so I have chance fifty fifty.
Stanley Tucci :
Life is like a box of chocolate
Tom Hanks :
You , I wait for you
세 개를 골라 보았는데
3번째 톰행크스 대사가 가장 감동적 이였습니다.
사람들은 모두는 무엇인가 기다리는 것이 있답니다.
당신은 무엇을 기다리고 있나요?
당신이요 , 난 당신을 기다리고 있어요.
U, I wait for U
Tom Hanks , Catherine Zeta-Jones , Steven Spielberg
