Great movie. This guy sure had a real set of.......
USELESS FACTS:
Steven Spielberg's original choice for the role of Frank Abagnale Jr. was Johnny Depp.
Until he saw the results of Leonardo DiCaprio's work, the real Frank Abagnale Jr. didn't think DiCaprio was "suave" enough to play him.
The arrest scene in France was actually shot in Place Royale, Quebec city. The church in the background is called Notre-Dame-des-Victoires and the bust in the middle of the place is of Louis XIV.Really entertaining, and endlessly rewatchable; ****1/2 stars - Lone_Wolf
I’ve watched Catch Me If You Can, many, many times, and it never fails to deliver. It’s just so entertaining, and fun to watch. The whole movie is very glamorous, especially visually. I heard someone once compare the movie to ‘champagne’, which is a great analogy. However, at the same time it is a very sad story, essentially about a young man who feels alienated and lost. All the performances are great, the direction from Spielberg is top grade (as usual), the John Williams score is just perfectly suited. For me, this is an endlessly entertaining movie. I’ve seen it something like ten times now, and it never ceases to thoroughly engage and charm me.As fun as it is intriguing. - Ziman
Frank Abagnale Jr. ran away from home in the mid 1960s at the age of 16. By age 19 he had impersonated a teacher, an airline pilot, a doctor, a lawyer, all the while cashing millions of dollars in fraudulent cheques. If you're angry because I told you this up front, don't be. This is a true story and these facts are all told to you in the first 2 minutes of the film.
I'll leave it at that... the facts are there, but how it's all told is purely another matter all together. And what actually happens to Frank, and his life should all be left to you to discover on your own.
And it's the storytelling that is key here. Spielberg's translation from the pages of Abagnale's own scribe is very strong. Even though we are a mere observer, the film seemingly tells the story from Abagnale's point of view... as well it should, since the man himself lived the life, and wrote the book that the film was based upon.
The delivery of this film is also quite simple. There are no secrets, no hidden agendas... just tells it like it needs to be told. But that suits this story. I usually take pleasure in films that surprise me, or one that brings me to a revelation that makes the film's outcome. But in 'Catch Me If You Can', I take more pleasure in seeing what comes next, instead of trying to determine how things will end up. This makes the movie 'easy' to watch, and at the same time entertaining, and not at all dull.
'Catch Me If You Can' is as fun as it is intriguing. Although it wasn't the most moving nor flashy picture out in 2003, it doesn't need to be. It simply is. It tells an interesting story, and does it well. A solid recommendation.
