Minority porn
This was a rare weak effort from Spielberg. One of the issues was that it stank of anti-white, pro-illegal propaganda. Victor was an illegal we’re meant to sympathise with, of course, and all the kind people who help him out are minorities, all working under the tyranny of the evil all-powerful white man 🙄
Victor is collecting signatures for his father from... a large group of black jazz musicians 🤷🏻♂️
Sexy white Catherine Zeta-Jones seems nice until she sods off to screw a married man, so she turns out to be a skank.
On another note, one thing that rang really false is Zeta-Jones, a woman so attractive that she leaves most supermodels in the dust and could easily have any man she desires, choosing to date some random illegal Eastern European who can’t speak English living in the bowels of the airport, and he ain’t gonna smell great wearing the same clothes and unable to shower. Sorry, that would never happen in a million years and it’s almost cruel to portray such a possibility.
The whole thing was just too saccharine, unbelievable, and with an undertone of creepy political messaging.
