  • WTF REALLY Happened To This Movie? - The JoBlo series that dives into movies based on TRUE stories, REAL people and ACTUAL historical events to separate FACT from FICTION!
    As a teenager in the late 1960s, Frank Abagnale Jr. established himself as “the world’s most savvy con man” by cashing millions in fraudulent checks and impersonating a doctor, lawyer and airline pilot. In the 2002 film CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, director Steven Spielberg presented these various cons with Leonardo DiCaprio as the effortlessly charming swindler. Is Spielberg’s movie an accurate depiction of Abagnale’s criminal career, or just another elaborate con? Get your boarding pass and find out “WTF Really Happened to CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!”

    Damnnn! He not only swindled once as an international conman. Twice by selling his expertise at swindling to institutes he have swindled. But actually thrice, by writing so successful it got made into a Spielberg's movie, which I must add, also swindled my young self into believe that beautiful friendship. That's a long marathon of conning.

    The minor changes to the actual historical story bug me a lot less than the fact that Frank was able to pull off most of these cons because he looked much older than he actually was. They cast Leonardo DiCaprio who up till early middle-age looked immensely younger than he actually was.

    My favorite part of the book didn’t make it in the movie. He’s on a bus in France after his release from prison, 2 school girls make many comments in English about his appearance, assuming that Frank is French. When they get off the bus, he speaks to them in English and the girls are quite embarrassed of course.

    I just read the book. Frank did teach college classes as a substitute teacher. It was to be for a month but the original teacher did not return so he did that job for many months. He did not have to soak the model planes to get the decals off. The model kits had decal sheets in the box. He was a doctor for almost a year but only let others make the decisions, even interns. And yes just a gofer as a lawyer. In the book, his close call was when they were surrounding his apartment so he walked out, said he was a FBI agent and that yes, Frank was still up in his place. Then walked away. A girlfriend’s dad had a printing company and he conned the guy to print the Pan-Am checks.

    I read Catch me if you can, back when it came out in 1980. And I bought the book again after seeing the film. There were changes. In the 1st edition he wrote of actual time at the controls during his dead heading. That was no longer in the book. I believe it was removed because beyond a thief actually sitting at the controls he was putting many other peoples lives at risk. I bet that’s why it’s no longer found in the book.

    The real Frank wrote in his book something like "I mostly have to be physically there in order to arrange those cons in the day. In the near future this con/scam will be much worse, since the con man could be anyone half the globe away with stolen identity. The real owner of that identity will be the real victim in the con."
    (Can't remember the exact book title and the quote however, sorry. But not too far from this.)
    Considering how internet con/scam is actually happening today. That prediction is pretty accurate...

    I will say one thing. I know there were tweaks made to the story to turn it into a better movie but it always bugged me that the whole thing was made possible from the fact, but if you look at photos of him, as a teenager he looked much older. So when he walked into that high school you could pay us as a teacher. That’s why when he put on a uniform and jumped out of the airplane two grab a free flight people accepted it.
    So then they turn around and cast Leonardo DiCaprio who is notorious for looking younger than he was open till he hit a magic point and suddenly look at his age.
    I remember the joke from when titanic came out I’m not attracted to 12-year-old boys. Because he looks notoriously young.

      One of the few times when looking older than your age is beneficial

      He was also very young to play howard huges imo.

      Dicaprio STILL looks like a kid to me. For this film, despite the inversion of fact, his casting was a brilliant idea. It kept the audience from ever forgetting the brilliant insanity at work. Had the actor looked older it would have taken a huge mundane bite out of gloriously unusual story and it's gloriously unusual lead character!

      I just want to point out that for some reason I could not find this comment again. That’s why there’s almost an identical comment from me slightly above this and why I was unable to fix the glorious disaster that is my voice to text conversion combined with auto correct.

    What an effortlessly seeming slipslide of emotions this film achieved. Brilliant film.

      @@josephforest7605 saw that too. This story always sounded super fishy. Everyone he came across had to be extremely stupid. That and he pulled this all off in 2 years?
