The Terminal is a classic post 9/11 story about American fear and anxiety around aviation. The story follows Viktor Navorski, a clueless traveler from the fictional country of Krakozhia, as he loses his citizenship midair, due to a revolution in his country. Viktor is forced to live in the terminal, while he waits for the government to sort out the paper work around his visa and citizenship. During this time, he makes friends with the workers in the terminal and he learns how community can help you get past difficult times. His own personal moral philosophy, the simple homespun spiritual wisdom of a peasant, allows him to survive an incredibly difficult situation. Viktor is a lot like most Americans post 9/11, and in analyzing his story, we can build our own philosophy of how to survive times of crisis. Please join us in analyzing The Terminal.
