Before I watched “Catch Me If You Can”, I did some research about the film. Steven Spielberg directs the film and produces it. He was also the director of classics like E.T., Jaws Jaws Jurassic Park, BFG, Jaws, Jaws and E.T. Steven Spielberg is reunited with Tom Hanks as Carl Hanratty (the FBI-agent) in this fourth film. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Frank Abagnale Jr. This is his first collaboration for Steven Spielberg. Based on Frank Abagnale Jr.’s real story, the biographical crime movie is based. In 1980, he also wrote a biography about his life. Frank, the true Frank Abagnale Jr., revealed that approximately 80% of the film’s story was correct. Frank Abagnale Jr. believed Leonardo wasn’t the right person to play his role. He didn’t think DiCaprio had enough charm to be able to. He resigned after the film’s release. This film is notable for its 52-day shooting time. The film was shot at 147 locations. The roads are all wet, even though the sun shines constantly. This film is biographical, as I have said before. The story of “Catch Me If You Can” was set in the 1950s and 1960s. Frank Abagnale Jr. is a teenage who flees his home after his parents decide to divorcing him. Frank, who has very little money at the time, pretends to be a pilot to avoid having to pay expensive checks. He managed to get more than $2.8 Million by this scheme. After a while, Carl Hanratty from the FBI began following Frank. Frank decided to look for other ways to make more money so he pretends he’s a doctor even though he doesn’t have a medical degree. While working as a physician, Frank fell in love and married Brenda Strong. To convince Brenda’s father, he pretends he’s also a lawyer. They were soon married. Carl, an FBI agent wanted Frank to be found. After many nights of work, he finally learned about Franks wedding. Frank was able to escape and he told his fiance that he would be waiting at the airport for 3 days. Three days later, he learned that she had contacted the FBI. He managed to get out of the airport and flew to France. There he made more fake checks. Carl Hanratty was determined to find Frank and kept searching the globe for him. Is he going to catch him? This film is one of my Top 15 favorite movies. It’s a great film because it features Leonardo DiCaprio, who is a beautiful actor. Because it is based upon a true story, I was skeptical that anyone could concoct a scam of 2.5 million dollars. Frank Abagnale Junior’s life story is quite impressive, especially when you consider the end. The film is original and has many plot twists. I found the only thing that I didn’t like was the fact that there aren’t any “good” women characters in the film. They could be shy, naive, adulterers, prostitutes, etc. It is entertaining and funny, despite that. It is definitely worth the effort.
