You and Me

In the movie “Catch me if you can” Frank Abagnale Jr. did some things that were not right. Even though some people may not agree with me, I think Frank Abagnale did not do the right thing. Foremost I believe what Frank did was wrong by lying to people about who he was and what he supposedly did in the past. Second, he emotionally abused people that he knew, in particular Brenda Strong, Carl Hanratty. Most importantly, he stole money from the bank by cashing in fake cheques. I believe, Frank Abagnale

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

You Know Why? A line that stuck out to me the most in the Catch Me If You Can film was “You know why the Yankees always win, Frank? Because the other teams can’t stop staring at those damn pinstripes”.

Throughout this essay, I will discuss how the film Catch me if you can promotes the idea that rituals have several meanings and hidden messages within them. I will support this statement using, Arnold van Gennep’s rights of passage theory, Maurice Bloch’s ritual and communication theory, John Beattie’s instrumental act and expressive element theory, Harvey Whithouse’s theory on the relationship between the repetition of rituals and cognitive psychological approaches as well as, Malory Nye’s theories

Pursuit of the American Dream in “Catch Me If You Can” and “Blow” “Catch Me If You Can” is a true story based on a man who cheated large corporations out of their money, after growing up in a small town in poverty. “Blow” is very similar in that it is based on the true events of a man who worked the drug cartel for millions of dollars, after growing up with his parents in the slums. The main characters in these films both use two different schemes to accomplish the same goal, which is the “American

In the film Catch Me If You Can, the director Steven Spielberg effectively uses camera techniques, flashbacks, colour and mise-en-scene to develop the themes of family, belonging and consequences. Frank is committing a life full of crimes to try and bring his parents back together. In this scene, Frank has been caught and is on an airplane back to where he originally lived. During this time, Frank finds out that his father has died and his mother has a new family. This makes Frank feel heartbroken

Does the film Catch Me If You Can accurately show Frank Abagnale Jr’s crimes? I believe the movie glamorized Frank’s crimes and made them a little bit better than they actually were, of course you can expect this from Hollywood. Frank Abagnale Jr. made a lot of mistakes as a teenager. He was trying to make a life for himself out in the real world and be able to make money. Frank was determined too, he could think of amazing ways to make a buck. Which eventually led him to posing as a teacher, doctor
