Thanks for your help, the whole paragraph for this question is posted as below.
It may strike you that some of the good feeling on display in The Terminal is pretty phony. The story, at times, is thin to the point of banality, and the filmmakers seem uncomfortable with characters who manifest anything more complicated than simple, quirky goodness.

故事平淡无奇，剧中人行为方式无出人意料之外之处， 制片人似乎只想让人物表现出一种简单，古怪，正直的特点，并而吝于让他们表现得复杂，世故。
