NO ! I was really enjoying your knowledgeable and fun reaction but,out of 11 reactors so far, you are the only one to miss the fantastic ending where Carl tells him that no one is looking for him and expects him back on Monday @ 9am and at 10.10am he still hasn't shown and then he emerges, which still brings a tear th this 69-year-old Englishman's eye and you leave it out, my friend?
17:30 "This could never happen in modern times" It happend in 2016 in Florida. 18-year-old Malachi Love-Robinson was arrested for pretending to be a doctor. "Sheriff's deputies in West Palm Beach, Florida, arrested Malachi Love-Robinson on Tuesday afternoon and accused him of practicing medicine without a license. He was the head of his own practice, according to his website. Love-Robinson physically examined the officer and provided medical advice, said the statement, which detailed a nearly two-week investigation that culminated in Tuesday's arrest."
When this movie came out my wife worked for a speakers bureau booking them for events. Frank Abignale was one of her clients. She said that he was by far the most charming man she’d ever met, and that she could totally understand how he could talk his way into all of those adventures
This is seen as one of the breakout roles for Amy Adams (Brenda, Frank's fiancee). She's since received six Oscar nominations, starting in 2005. Martin Sheen plays her father, and his real life son Charlie Sheen was Wild Thing in Major League. Christopher Walken as Frank Sr. also received an Oscar nomination for Supporting Actor for this film.
My father worked as a mechanic for PanAm for 28 years. Out of LAX Airport. I traveled a lot as a child. The airline industry used to be very glamorous.
One of my favorite movies. There was a story recently that said Frank lied about most of the things that happened in the movie. But I still really enjoy it.
Back then, pilots really were basically celebrities, especially to kids, not that people knew their names personally, but that the profession commanded so much respect. Commercial flights were still relatively luxurious in the mid 60s, I'd imagine it would've been somewhat comparable to meeting an astronaut today.
the best white collar criminals when get caught go on to do great work. The biggest computer hacker of the 2000s now is head security programmer for Norton Antivirus. His job is to test new viruses and threats to prevent it from happening to its customers.
It's a true story depending on whether or not you trust a serial conman to tell you his life story accurately. Good movie though, not a bad book either.
Elizabeth Banks - the one who you realized as Effie from Hunger Games - is actually a stage name. Her real name is Elizabeth Mitchell, but according to the rules of the Screen Actors Guild, or SAG for short (basically the union that most actors join in order to get professional work), she had to change it because there was already another actress named Elizabeth Mitchell in their membership, and you're only supposed to have one person with any name so they don't get mixed up with somebody else.
@@donjackson5522 I looked it up - part of it is to make sure that royalty checks get sent to the right actor. Michael J. Fox had a similar situation. There was already a "Michael Fox" listed in SAG, so he added the "J." as a tribute to one of his favorite actors, Michael J. Pollard (best known for his Oscar nominated role as C.W. Moss in Bonnie and Clyde).
Yes. Leo always been a great actor, Must see his movie with Johnny Dep: WHATS EATING GILBERT GRAPE💜👍👍👍Both fine actors indeed. Tom HANKS… oh I believe you will enjoy THAT THING YOU DO?
The thing about this movie is that is that as wild as it is, they actually left out some of the most crazy things that Frank Jr did because they thought no one would believe it. He was a true genius. And you can't beat a movie with DiCaprio, Hanks and Walken. If you haven't seen My Girl from 1991, I think you'd really enjoy it. Macauley Culkin's best movie. No spoilers, guys.
In reference to tanning outside with a “timer”, even every day suburban kids were doing that back in the “60”s and ‘70’s. Goodness knows how this custom started, but I have sisters who are a decade older than I. Ever since I was about 6 yo, and they would say, when we were at the pool, “turn over every 20 minutes. There was a big clock on the courtyard wall, and we would use that as our timer. Twenty minutes goes by really fast when you’re laying in your back and telling each other the shapes you see in the clouds above. We would tan as dark as coconut shells every summer. No wonder our generation has so much skin cancer😂
Speaking as a person who has been the victim of a con man my opinion of Frank is that he is a cheap 2-bit crook and he should STILL be in prison and should have remained so until his death! But no, the idiotic justice system made him a millionaire. In the meantime the hundreds if not the thousands of victims he made were most probably NOT compensated and they probably have suffered emotionally from being deceived by this crook!
Sadly...this is how our alphabet agencies find the best....my buddy knew a computer hacker way back in the day...he now works for one of em supposedly 😉
While I share your opinion of conmen and frauds generally speaking... if any of Frank's story is to be believed, mostly what he is guilty of is passing a lot of bad checks. He defrauded banks and airlines... who were insured against such fraud... and so ended up costing some insurance companies a few million dollars. He has sworn repeatedly that he never defrauded any individuals, except one time giving a bad check to a prostitute in Miami (as dramatized in the film)... but it's not like he stole something even from her, if the story is true, he might have just wasted her time. Most of his more outlandish stories and claims are, most likely, made-up. I guess if Abagnale is guilty of anything else other than writing a lot of bad checks it would be of being a habitual liar and fabulist who liked to tell tall tales about his own cleverness. The only "victims" of his that have come forward to speak about any harm he did to them directly mostly talk about how he damaged their capacity to trust other people. But the money he "stole" was from big banks and large corporations... it's not like he was ripping off grandmas from some fake customer service call center in India. Or stealing identities to buy himself Amazon gift cards, ruining peoples' credit. Those people, I fully agree, are absolute scum and should be universally reviled. Not to say that Abagnale is really worthy of being admired or held up as a hero... just that he's not as bad as those types of con men. In the end, the people he was stealing money from (banks and the government) decided that it would be better to put him on payroll. So they did. And the minor celebrity he enjoys is less because he was a crook... and more because he's a good storyteller.
Thanx 4 another great reaction James!👍 Your laugh is so beautifully joyous, I just adore it!🥰 Appreciate u!😍 Lotsa love 2 u & yours always, from Liz, in Aus❤ 💚🇦🇺
Yep, it's a true story, although some things were changed to make it more touching and easier to follow. There are articles and TH-cam videos explaining what did and didn't happen. You can also find the full episode of the game show, "To Tell the Truth," shown at the beginning of the movie.
Ok, this is spooky. I am now genuinely thinking that AI can now read our minds. Earlier today I was just musing in my head about how "Catch Me If You Can" is Leo's best movie, and now here you are a few hours later reacting to it. Since they can now get into our brains, if the robot apocalypse doesn't happen, I'm very much looking forward to "Matrix"/"Ready Player One"-style technology. :D
Hi James...I kind of feel like you might be depriving yourself of a fun part of the movie experience, even if it is a very small part of it. We all looked at the movie posters before we saw the movies...you had to work very hard to not see the poster for whatever movie you were gonna see. Many people enjoyed trying to guess things about the movie from the poster, so there is nothing wrong with seeing the movie posters before the movies...as long as they are the same as the posters that we all saw before we saw these movies in the theater. 😁💯
Fun to watch you guffawing at each escapade!!! Was surprised to hear you say afterwards that it was a bit slow! Movies are so speedy now, I only hear that from very young reactors. Your editing was very well paced anyway! I love this movie but I don’t believe it’s really a true story. There’s some debate about that. Great movie though!!!!! Very entertaining and I love the intro music and graphics! Have you seen Tom Hanks in “Big?”
Good pick!!! I always like to suggest one based on the one that you watch so today I will go with A Christopher Walken flick… Blast from the past… Just for fun. Have a great weekend everyone!
On his wikipedia page it says "Almost all of these claims have been refuted by journalists.[6][11][13][31][34][50][51]" I guess once a con always a con.
You probably can't react to "The Revenant" with DiCaprio because it's 3 hours long, but it's a fantastic movie. It's the one that finally won him his first Oscar. He kept getting snubbed until that. Maybe on your own time or put it on a poll if you like, but it's such a great movie.
@@roberthereandthere4366 It's not a matter what I believe. Look it up for yourself. He's even admitted the stories are made up. There's no record of him or his aliases ever practicing law, no record of him at the hospital (which never had an overnight pediatric shift), some of his exploits supposedly happened while he was in jail. The FBI never employed him. The list goes on man. Again, look it up for yourself. Shows how much of a con man he actually is.
It was a neat story, and almost one that could be believed when the movie first came out. Now, It's fairly common knowledge that Frank Abignail was completely full of shit. Conman until the very end.
The game show at the beginning is actual footage of a real episode of a real game show called "To Tell the Truth". Leo and the other two actors pretending to be Frank Abagnale were merged in by computer. You can look up and see the original version of that episode with the real Frank Abagnale! It's on TH-cam. Best Regards!
Carl (hanks) and Frank (dicaprio ) have kind of a cat and mouse bromance thing . Frank calls Carl on christmas and later in the film when frank is in prison carl calls upon him to help him out with other forgers
Yes based on a true story but they embellished. He never went through the toilet, he really snuck out of the door they opened for food carts after landing and stopping at the terminal. There's other things that didnt happen.
Any time I see a movie that says "based on or inspired by a true story" I immediately know that it is not a true story. It is unknown how much of that movie is true and how much of it is a fabrication.
@J Hoop No I shouldn't. Because if you're questioning what I said in my original comment, it means you yourself don't know what they mean. And if you do, then I have no idea how you could disagree with me. But then here we are. If the movie said "This IS a true story" then it would have to be factually accurate down to the smallest detail. But since it says "based on a true story" that means that they can take creative liberty with the facts and details of what really happened for the sake of making the movie more entertaining. Which this movie definitely did.
Strangely, I find this movie uplifting because of the outrageous audacity of the cons. BTW, You can find real Frank Abagnale Jr. lectures on TH-cam giving all kinds of advice from what pen to use when writing checks to why you should never use debit cards.
He's a fascinating guy! His book, The Art of the Steal, is a really good book! Highly recommend reading it. And if you watch some TH-cam videos of speeches his given, you'll enjoy them!
3:33 Rotary is an international service organization whose stated purpose is to bring together business and professional leaders in order to provide humanitarian service and to advance goodwill and peace around the world.
"In 2002, Abagnale admitted on his website that some facts had been overdramatized or exaggerated, though he was not specific about what was exaggerated or omitted about his life. In 2020, journalist Alan C. Logan provided evidence he claims proves the majority of Abagnale's story was invented or at best exaggerated. The public records obtained by Logan have since been independently verified by journalist Javier Leiva. In 2023, author and journalist Abby Ellin provided further evidence to challenge Abagnale's claims; Ellin confirmed that Abagnale spent most of his years between the ages of 16 and 21 behind bars."
NO ! I was really enjoying your knowledgeable and fun reaction but,out of 11 reactors so far, you are the only one to miss the fantastic ending where Carl tells him that no one is looking for him and expects him back on Monday @ 9am and at 10.10am he still hasn't shown and then he emerges, which still brings a tear th this 69-year-old Englishman's eye and you leave it out, my friend?
Unfortunately almost none of this story is true. The movie took some liberties but it was mostly based on his autobiography, since the movie has come out virtually every word of the book has been debunked. The real con from a lifelong con-man. Still a really great movie though.
True if you believe the story of a conman. A lot of it is provable. A lot of it isn’t. On another reaction channel, a man claiming to be Frank’s son claims he’s still telling his stories… So, who to believe?
Almost all of this story is highly questionable. Many elements have been challenged or refuted. Some of it isn't even in line with what Abagnale himself says happened... dramatized or changed for the film. But it is true that this guy managed to pass a ton of bad checks once upon a time, and then ended up working to prevent such fraud later in life. Some elements of his family life are also apparently true... though not all. The other stuff... like traveling around Europe with a bunch of stewardesses, working as a lead physician, and a lawyer, and his own high school class's substitute teacher, et cetera... pretty dubious. But maybe. A few things have been partially corroborated but not as many things as have been challenged. So depends on if you want to take the word of a lifetime crook, conman, and liar...
Thank you everyone so much for watching. I've included a few of my Leo and Tom Hanks reactions links in the description. Thanks again.

Michael J. Fox had that issue. His real name is Michael A. Fox. Not only was it too corny, but it was already taken when he joined.
Yeah so, why not 'Elizabeth _A_ Mitchell' or any other initial. Changing the last name seems a bit extreme in that situation.

True if you believe the story of a conman. A lot of it is provable. A lot of it isn’t. On another reaction channel, a man claiming to be Frank’s son claims he’s still telling his stories…
So, who to believe?
Almost all of this story is highly questionable. Many elements have been challenged or refuted. Some of it isn't even in line with what Abagnale himself says happened... dramatized or changed for the film. But it is true that this guy managed to pass a ton of bad checks once upon a time, and then ended up working to prevent such fraud later in life. Some elements of his family life are also apparently true... though not all. The other stuff... like traveling around Europe with a bunch of stewardesses, working as a lead physician, and a lawyer, and his own high school class's substitute teacher, et cetera... pretty dubious. But maybe. A few things have been partially corroborated but not as many things as have been challenged. So depends on if you want to take the word of a lifetime crook, conman, and liar...

Can you react to grease sometime.
Already seen it
I decided this movie is about the trauma of poverty. How desperate is every poor kid to make money and give their parents something more?
Yeah that's a good astute observation
