This film is based on reality, and it is said that art comes from life. In real life, such absurd and funny scenes are real. There is a person whose experience is very similar to that of the protagonist in the film, except that he stayed at the airport for 17 years, during which many interesting things happened. This man is Meian karimi Naseiri.
Life is a helpless journey.
Naseiri was born in a wealthy family and an elite class with excellent academic performance. Later, he studied in university of bradford, a famous British school, majoring in politics. Under the long-term influence of western education, Naseiri, who is of British and Iranian descent, was extremely dissatisfied with Iran's political situation and took part in a high-profile demonstration against Iran in Britain. As a result, he was deported from Iran on 1977, and since then.
His promising future was ruined by his enthusiasm. Naseiri took a temporary refugee visa to find a place in European countries, but he always failed. He didn't give up because of this. 198 1, he finally got a formal refugee visa in Belgium. With this visa, he can finally stay in some countries. He decided to go to England to find his relatives in the future.
However, fate seems to have played a trick on the poor exiles again. 1988, Naseiri was on his way to Charles de Gaulle airport when his wallet was stolen and all his documents were lost, including his hard-earned refugee visa. Poor him, homesick, arrived at the British airport as he wished, but he was still unable to go through the formalities because of the loss of his valid documents.
Fortunately, the French government did not expel him from the airport, but Naseiri's freedom was also restricted in the airport. He had nowhere to go, so he had to "settle down" in the first terminal of the airport and started his wandering career for 17 years.
Life is a wonderful wandering life.
Unlike most vagrants, Naseiri arranged his life exquisitely and beautifully. He used the airport bench as a bed, the airport trolley as a wardrobe, and hung clothes that he regarded as treasures. Although he lost his freedom and was trapped in the airport, he got up on time every day, cleaned himself up with the washing tools given by the airport, and cleaned up his "residence" early every day, leaving a good impression on people in the past.
1999 Belgium gave in, and Naseiri got the refugee documents with the help of lawyers and doctors. However, because the government stipulated that he must live in Belgium, his desire to return to England was dashed. Disappointed, Naseiri simply refused the visa and continued to live a vagrant life at Charles de Gaulle Airport.
Naseiri likes to collect magazines, newspapers and all kinds of books. His daily hobby is reading, writing diaries related to life and listening to the radio occasionally, which really has nothing to do with the life of tramps. After work at the airport at night, he will go to the airport toilet to wash his hands, clean himself up and clean his clothes.
Gradually, the airport staff became more and more familiar with him, often chatting with him in their spare time, and the passengers coming and going were very friendly to him. Some passengers even came to take photos with him. When someone comes to communicate with him, he will respond, but refuse others to donate. He doesn't consider himself a beggar and doesn't accept such help.
There are always unexpected gains in life.
Naseiri's reputation is getting bigger and bigger. He insisted on reading every day, and later even a publishing house invited him to write a book. He sorted out his legendary experiences and wrote an autobiography. In 2004, the copyright of Naseiri's story was bought by DreamWorks, so he earned hundreds of thousands of dollars and became a rich man.
Naseiri's story was later adapted into the Terminal mentioned at the beginning, which also attracted the famous movie star Tom Hanks. In the movie, the protagonist stayed at the airport for nine months. Through his own study, he adapted to the airport life and even found a job on a construction site. Finally, he fell in love with the airport stewardess and gained a beautiful love.
After the film was released, it received constant praise. The whole drama is humorous and brings people full of positive energy. Just like Naseiri's experience in real life, he encountered numerous setbacks and difficulties. Even in an embarrassing situation, he still insisted on waiting inside. In the past 17 years, he has always settled down, lived a good day, never gave up, and made positive progress, and finally completed a perfect counterattack in his life.
There are good things and regrets in life.
Although Naseiri became a rich man and was later allowed to move freely in France by the French government, he still refused to leave the airport and chose to stay at the airport to continue his life. Until 2006, Naseiri became ill and needed hospitalization, so he had to leave Charles de Gaulle Airport and this place where he had lived for more than ten years. After leaving the hospital, he was arranged to rest in a nursing home in Paris and never had a chance to find his relatives again. Perhaps this will be a great regret in his life.

Ten years is still a long time for a person. The same thing may be a different story for us. Naseiri told us with his tortuous and magical experience that there are countless times in a person's life, waiting for growth, waiting for work, waiting for marriage and family, waiting for success.
Waiting makes life more colorful. In difficult circumstances, as long as we are alive, there is hope. As long as we stick to our hearts, we will wait for a bright future. I hope that no matter what situation we are in, we can face it calmly like Naseiri and live an elegant, calm and self-disciplined life.
