Catch Me If You Can Psychological Disorder

An out-of-body experience is explained by few as a sense of being detached from one’s body, and if associated with other factors like a sense that the world is not real, far away, or even foggy. This with the combination of failure to recall significant personal information, or the content of a meaningful conversation forgotten from one second to the next are signs of a psychological disorder known as Dissociative Disorder. Considered as a rare and mysterious psychiatric curiosity, Dissociative Disorders will be the psychological disorder that will be discussed in this paper.

He then goes to the hospital to see Deborah Ann Kay and is deeply affected by it. He feels this is his chance to do something right and wants to provide fair justice for her instead of just taking the money. He doesn’t take the settlement or tell the Donaheys about it which he is supposed to tell them. He also stole mail from Maureen Rooney to get ahold of Kaitlin Costello Pryce. Frank did all of this because the end would justify the means. Even though some of the things he did weren’t right he wanted to do the right thing by providing justice for Deborah Ann Kay.

The movie Catch Me If You Can is a true story brought to the big screen in 2002, it follows the story of Frank Abagnale Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio) and the man who is trying to find him Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks).

Frank’s need for stimulation could clearly be seen as an adolescent when he, after running away and surviving on cashing fraudulent checks, desired to partake in even more daring crimes as a result of the mere exposure effect in which the thrill of committing these crimes without any repercussion led to his increasing preference for them. In a way, the deceptive fraudulent checks that Frank created were directly representative of his deceptive nature since they could not easily be validated and had to travel weeks across the country. Frank’s desire to partake in increasing risky crimes during his merge led to the furthering development of his antisocial personality disorder as he took on greater impulsive acts of social deviance such as impersonating a Pan Am pilot and forging Pan Am payroll checks for over two million dollars. Utilizing his superficial charm, pathological lying, and lack of empathy Frank impressed and exploited people to feed his id-driven desire to commit more impulsive, daring crimes. The thrill of living on the edge of getting caught by the FBI, reached a turning point when Frank confidently impersonated the alias of a secret service agent and lied to avoid getting caught by Carl Hanratty, the lead investigator for his case. Realizing, he had just walked past the chief FBI

In the film Catch Me If You Can, by Steven Spielberg, Carl Hanratty, is an FBI agent on the chase for Frank Abagnale Jr. In this scene, he finds out Frank is hiding in a small town in France at a factory writing himself cheques. He then convinces Frank to handcuff himself and turn himself into the french officers. During this scene, Spielberg uses four main film techniques to create a theme and moods. These techniques are, cinematography, editing, colour and lighting, and sound. Spielberg uses these four techniques to create a mood and build suspense. The use of these techniques links to the theme that Frank’s actions will eventually have consequences because the director is making the audience believe that Frank could get caught, meaning Frank’s actions will have consequences.

Frank is one of the main characters in the story who surfaces in the movie as a man wearing a rabbit’s costume. He only appears to Donnie when Donnie takes the prescribed

Psychological disorders are stated to be abnormalities of the mind, known as mental disorders (Klasco, 2011). Abnormalities of the mind cause persistent behaviors that affect an individual’s daily function and life (Klasco, 2011). The different types of psychological disorders include mood disorders, personality disorders, anxiety disorders, and eating disorders (Klasco, 2011).

When Frank took off his mask, it showed a boy from Donnie’s school (which we find out in the end) with one eye gone and blood stained down his face. Donnie ask him what happened eye, he didn’t really give him an answer but told him about Time Travel instead. My point is before the ending when everything went to bad, Donnie’s girlfriend got ran over by a car and who was the driver? None other than Frank, but Frank came out just a regular guy, a scared guy that didn’t mean to hurt Donnie’s girlfriend. Donnie being who he is and was angry that his girfriend was dead, so he shot Frank straight in the eye which killed him. Donnie recognized Frank once he came of his car because of his costume. At that moment I wonder wow, how did this happen. How can a regular guy like Frank be the demonic rabbit guide that has been around Donnie? More confusion comes and this movie keeps me thinking. My mind goes on over drive wondering how can this be? How can Frank be the person behind the mask, when he was just a regular guy that Donnie murdered for killing his girlfriend? That is the question that is the most confusing to me and no matter how much I think, no real answer comes out. I think that’s what writer-director Richard Kelly wanted, he wanted to boggle our mind and really make us think. We are viewers who have seen Donnie Darko will

The Talented Mr Ripley, a film directed by Anthony Minghella, based off a book by Patricia Highsmith, delves into the world of a psychotic young man named Thomas Ripley. Through the film Tom murders three people and usurps the identity of Dickie Greenleaf, a wealthy socialite. Desire is a core theme in this film, causing this character to act irrationally and impulsively, obviously shown in this film through when Tom steals Dickie’s identity after murdering him and mooches off Dickie’s allowance his father pays out. This was caused by Tom’s huge desire to live in a social class way above his own, surrounded by wealth and popularity. This theft of identity caused by the character’s un-satisfaction with his own/real life, directly relates to another film ‘Catch me if you Can’, where the main protagonist Frank Abagnale poses as multiple identities such as a Pan Am Pilot, a paediatrician, and an attorney. We can see similarities with Tom and Frank’s decisions caused by their strong desire for a higher status and a wealthy

A psychological disorder, also known as a mental disorder, is a pattern of behavioral or psychological symptoms that impact multiple life areas and create distress for the person experiencing these symptoms.

The end goal, getting caught by the FBI, didn't seem to phase him in the slightest as after narrowly avoiding capture, he continued to live the same permissive lifestyle. The effect of his parent’s actions in regard to their upbringing of Frank is clear and deeply imprinted on his personality and

However, after his check is rejected, he turns instead to impersonating a Pan Am pilot after seeing one sign autographs to a small child outside the bank. After acquiring a uniform from the company by saying that he “lost” his, he forges his credentials and passports after he creates a fake, Pan Am Air salary check and successfully cashing it in. His need for money to survive on his own drives these decisions to act on these illegal activities, outweighing the cost he will end up paying for committing them. Part of the Rational Choice Theory is whatever techniques the criminal learns and perfects to avoid detection from authorities. Frank’s first run in with authority is when FBI Agent Carl Hanratty tracks him through his forged Pan Am bills to a hotel he was staying at. In Frank and Carl’s first meeting, Frank impersonates a Secret Service agent named Barry Allen (after The Flash) when confronted by Carl’s gun, convincing the agent long enough in order for him to escape. After his close call, he retires to Georgia, where he impulsively convinces the hospital and town that he is a Harvard medical doctor after meeting a new, young nurse named Brenda, whom he ends up falling in love with. The branch that Frank was assigned to was chief doctor of the pediatric ward, where they don’t do much work. The motivation behind this was to get closer to Brenda, whom he had an attraction to when he first met her. His growing love for
