[plot]

Before his 18 birthday, Frank Abagnale was already a doctor, a lawyer and a pilot of a large airline-don't you believe it? That's right, even a talented child prodigy can't be so amazing unless ... yes, this guy is a liar. However, from this perspective, Frank is indeed a child prodigy-a talented liar with superb deception.

From 1964 to 1966, 17 years old, Frank Abagnale, a wandering teenager who ran away from home, successfully "played" various prominent figures such as doctors, professors, assistant procurators, etc. By using his exquisite forgery technology and clever eloquence, he defrauded money and trusted countless people, and lived a chic and happy life. Not only did he cheat more than 2.5 million dollars from the bank by forging airdropped bank checks, but he also traveled around the world for free as a pilot. To this end, he was listed as the most wanted man by the FBI-the youngest wanted man in history. In order to catch him, FBI agent Carl Hanratty (Hanks) and Frank played a cat-and-mouse game. It seems that every time Carl tries to catch Frank, the latter escapes one step ahead of the former.

In order to find a job as soon as possible, the Carsjo family abandoned their children and pursued Frank. He hates Franco's crimes and teasing himself, but he unconsciously admires his cleverness. Gradually, the friendship and tacit understanding between soldiers and thieves became like father and son, and the game of chasing became less ruthless. Of course, besides, how did young Frank get romantic adventures in his global travel? ……

Frank Abagnale in Life

Although Hollywood playwrights are very good at making up stories, such exciting, bizarre and even a little contrary to the common sense of ordinary people are not their masterpieces, but real stories that happen on real people-absolutely!

In reality, Frank W. Arbanere, the hero of the story, ran away from home because of his parents' divorce when he was 16 years old. Before 2 1 year-old, he pretended to be a Pan American pilot and traveled to more than 50 States and 20 countries. Not only that, he also filled in fake checks and defrauded more than 2.5 million US dollars in cash for his own squandering during the trip; Of course, in order to hide his eyes and ears, his identity is ever-changing, sometimes he is a professor at a famous university, sometimes he becomes a respected doctor, and sometimes he becomes a judge's assistant in Louisiana ... However, in the mouth of the federal agents chasing him, he is a bandit nicknamed "Skywalker".

Ironically, after being arrested and imprisoned for five years, Arbanere turned himself into a lecturer of the FBI-this is his personal experience, teaching anti-fraud techniques to agents and big companies. And in 1980, Arbanere's autobiographical novel "Catch Me: The True Legend of the Most Extraordinary Liar" became a best seller in the market at that time, and was also bought by Hollywood filmmakers who specialized in curiosity.

[grandpa four loves to break up families? ]

As for why Spielberg took over the film, it was once "analyzed" because Starr especially liked the theme of family breakdown, because he suffered from the divorce of his parents when he was a child. In fact, this statement is sheer nonsense. Although many of Spielberg's films have the plot or story background of parents' divorce and family dismemberment, you can only say that it is a coincidence, and the only thing that really attracts him is the plot. There is a piece of evidence that can fully prove this point-no actor has ever won the Oscar for best actor for his performance in Spielberg's films, so the director department attaches more importance to the plot than anything else.

After making a series of serious films such as Schindler's List, Artificial Intelligence and Minority Report, Spielberg suddenly made a u-turn, and chose a crime movie with jumping story and humor, mainly trying a new genre and theme. Although this theme is vulgar in Hollywood, Spielberg has never set foot in it. Of course, directing this film is also a good opportunity for Spielberg to change his mind and relax himself. He said frankly: When shooting Minority Report, he almost brainwashed himself to fully understand and master the scenes in the film; But he didn't need this for "At large", because America in the 1960s was familiar and cordial to him.

Spielberg has his own unique views on why the protagonist in the story can cheat such achievements. "When you see Frank with your own eyes, you will immediately feel how easily he generates trust," Spielberg said in an interview. "At that time, he was simply a child of 2 1 century, but he was facing the United States in the 1960s. The reason why he can escape many times is entirely because of that innocent age ... He admitted to me that if he changed today's society, he would not get along at all. "

[Words and deeds and Albanel fans]

Since it is an autobiographical film, the protagonist in real life can't escape the attack of the news media before the film is released. Guess what Albanel said in the interview that impressed him the most?

Before filming began, director Spielberg invited Arbanere to stay at Leonardo's house for a few days, so as to familiarize the hero with his role. Surprisingly, Leonardo was extremely serious about exploring people. "He followed me around the room with a notebook and a tape recorder in his hand, asking me questions and recording them." Arbanere told reporters, "I was deeply impressed by his professionalism."

In addition, Steda's carefulness also shocked Albanel: on the set, he noticed that the flying badge worn by Leonardo was exactly the same as that worn by Pan Am pilots, and that badge had been discontinued long ago. So he asked Spielberg where he found this little thing. Unexpectedly, grandpa four replied, "I specially asked someone to copy it." You are so meticulous about details, how can you not make a good movie?

Speaking of which, by the way, Tom Hanks, another star of this film, is a big fan of Arbanere, and Hanks almost regards another book of the latter, The Art of Stealing: How to Protect You and Your Business from Fraud, as a holy book. "He said to me,' Now that book is my Bible, I have changed my business style and paid more attention to my personal affairs. Arbanere relayed to the reporter what Hanks said to him.

[Questioning the script and its original work]

Originally, people would not take an entertainment film too seriously, but once it is related to the great director, the attention of the film will often double. This is both a good thing and a bad thing for movies.

International poster

Take this film as an example. Before the pilot film was released, some people began to criticize the script of the film. Criticism of the script itself is too superficial, only staying at the level of creating interesting plots and making the audience happy, while ignoring the elaboration of the protagonist's inner world, which is a mistake that biographies should not make. In addition, the film's attitude towards a bad boy who doesn't know the harm is extremely irresponsible to society. At this point, the commentary even pointed out directly that Albanel's own biography has no guilt or remorse for what he once did, but leaves the impression that "everyone else is a fool, but I am the only one with a smart mind". This kind only cares about oneself and doesn't care about others; The interest-oriented and reckless attitude towards life really makes viewers beg to differ. ...

What's going on here? Why do Americans who have always paid attention to pleasure and lived a chic life suddenly become profound? Entertainment movies are to tease and entertain people's lives. Regardless of the social effect, Making Money is a good movie-isn't it? Suddenly, I remembered a joke I saw on the Internet, saying, "The Englishman said he had a good temperament, so the French laughed.": Austria laughed when the Frenchman said he knew music. Austria said his building was good, and Italy smiled; When Italy said he was a gangster, the Japanese laughed. When the Japanese called him a Buddhist, the Indians laughed. Indians say that his software is good, and Americans laugh ... ",and at the end, they have to add a sentence:" As soon as Americans are moved, people all over the world laugh. "
