Before watching the movie “Catch Me If You Can,” I searched for information about the movie. The 2002 film is directed and produced by Steven Spielberg, who also directed the classics: "ET, BFG, Jaws, Jurassic Park" and many more. In this film, Steven Spielberg collaborates for the 4th time with the famous actor Tom Hanks who plays FBI agent Carl Hanratty. The main character, Frank Abagnale Jr, is played by Leonardo DiCaprio. This is his first collaboration with Steven Spielberg. The story of this biographical crime film is based on the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr, who also wrote a book about his life in 1980. Frank, the real one, said after the film's release that about 80% of the story was accurate. At first, Frank Abagnale Jr. thought Leonardo was unsuitable for his role, as he didn't think DiCaprio was "suave" enough to play him. But after the film came out, he took it all back. Some fun facts about this movie are that the movie was shot in 147 locations in just 52 days. And also all the roads in the scenes are wet even though the sun is still shining. Say no to plagiarism.

The movie "Catch Me If You Can" is set in the 1950s and 1960s. It is about a teenager, Frank Abagnale Jr., who runs away from home when his parents want to divorce. At this point, Frank barely has any money so he decides to pose as co-pilot in order to easily use the controls. Using this method, he was able to steal over $2.8 million. After a while, an FBI bank fraud agent, Carl Hanratty, begins tracking Frank. So Frank decides to find other ways to get more money and starts pretending to be a doctor, even though he doesn't have a medical degree. During his work as a doctor, he fell in love with one of the nurses, Brenda Strong. In order to convince Brenda's father to marry her, he pretends that he is also a lawyer. It worked and they got married. But FBI agent Carl was still trying to find Frank. After a lot of night work, he found out about Frank's wedding and raided the wedding. After all, Frank was able to escape again and told his fiancée that he would be waiting for her at the airport in 3 days. 3 days later, at the airport, he discovers that she informed the FBI. He again found a way out and flew to France where he continued to write fake checks. But Carl Hanratty was not going to let Frank go and continued to search for him across the world. Will he ever catch it? This film is definitely part of my Top 15 best films. I love this movie so much because first of all, the handsome Leonardo DiCaprio is in it. Second, because it is based on a true story, before this movie I could never believe that someone could defraud $2.5 million. Frank Abagnale Junior definitely has an impressive life story, especially if you know how the movie ends. Thirdly, it's an original story, the film has a lot of twists and turns. The only thing that I personally liked less is that there is not a single “good” woman character in the film, whether it is a prostitute, shy and naive, or an adulteress. But aside from that, it's a very entertaining and funny film. I surely recommend it!
