I just got done watching the movie The Terminal at work and it was really a fantastic movie in my opinion and I think everyone should see it. It has some pretty funny moments too. Its about this guy who flies to the United States but when he gets to the airport he finds out his visa and documents are not valid thus preventing him from traveling into the United States but he also is not able to fly back to his country because it is in the middle of a civil war and so they tell him he needs to stay in the airport and so he basically decides to live in the airport, he makes friends with all the employees at the airport and thinks that this is his home.
The most fascinating part is that this is actually based on a true story of a man who has lived in an airport in France for over 15 years because of similiar circumstances. He was not legally allowed to go anywhere and no country would take him because he had no proof of who he was or where he came from. I guess now he is allowed to leave and go wherever he wants but he has become so used to living in the airport he now refuses to leave because he is so attached to what he's had for 15 years.
I just thought that was really crazy to think about, and a little sad.
