Which makes it all the more remarkable that Spielberg has transformed this quintessential modern nightmare of interrupted air travel into a vision of earthly paradise. The director's lyrical view of flight was evident long before Catch Me if You Can, his soulful, finger-popping evocation of the golden age of commercial aviation: it could be glimpsed in the flashing spaceship lights at the end of Close Encounters; in the soaring bicycle of E.T., even in the Japanese fighter planes of 1941 and Empire of the Sun. (Tact forbids me from saying too much about Always.) The Terminal, at once following this preoccupation to its logical conclusion and (so to speak) flying in the face of it, is, improbably and enchantingly, about the romance of being stuck on the ground.
