The Terminal BB

Why am I potty about the movies Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Tom Hanks' The Terminal?

Both the heroes are extremely sweet. Both want to enter an alien country, but only with permission. When they are given an option to enter through other means, they refuse. Both want to enter the alien country because of a sweet mission. Both are prevented from entering by some people and both make a lot of friends who would do anything to help them. And finally both succeed.

After watching either movie, you feel so good. And alienated, at least momentarily, from all the badness in the world. And you can see it in the expressions of Zeta Jones and Kareena when they realize what the respective heroes are like.

Sweet.

The heroes are not survivors. Principled then?
